Has anyone tried these Takara Feet Patches? They are supposed to detoxify the body, by drawing the toxins from the blood vessels that run through the feet. You simply apply them at night and in the morning you wake up and remove the patches which will contain a significant amount of body toxins.
My friend at work is trying to get me to use them. He claims that his parents who had very high blood pressure began using them and now their blood pressure has dropped to an acceptable figure.
I've spent some time searching through Google, but I can't find any real scientific study behind how these patches work. They look absolutely gross after they've been used, so they may actually work and something is actually being drawn out. On the other hand, they might be bogus and contain a chemical which reacts with the mositure from your feet to produce the nasty colour and effectively tricking you into believing they work.
Can someone who has used these verify any of this? Any doctors on here who can shed some light on this? I'm tempted to buy some and have the chemical contents analyzed before and after they've been used.
Here's a detailed description of their usage and a simpletons explanation of the science behind them (Before and After pictures are half way down):
