Dextox? My Foot!
One way to scam people is to diagnose and correct a nonexistent
problem. Aqua Detox practitioners do this by claiming to remove
toxins and balance cellular energy. During treatment sessions, the
customer's feet are bathed for 30 minutes in salt water that is
subjected to a low-voltage current transmitted through an electrode
assembly called an "array" (the dark cylindrical object to which
the wire is attached).
