There’s a new category here called “Quacks” for coverage of medical quackery on my blog. Most quack products include the following caveat on their literature: “These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. The products and/or technologies listed are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, mitigate, or prevent any disease.”

I went to the Bioneers conference over the weekend and while there is much positive and educated thinking about the environment going on, I constantly find myself drawn to the oddball hucksters trying to sucker the public with absurd claims about vague toxins in your body that can be sucked out through a foot bath, plotting your career trajectory based on fingerprints or scare tactics about your ten year old getting brain cancer from electromagnetic pollution if you don’t buy their doohickey. Case in point: Biopro Technologies who I won’t dignify with a link however I will point you to a few sites that have already debunked their bunko:

Who knew that the feet are the windows to the toxins of the soul. WTF are these toxins anyway? Maybe John McCain knows but he’s not telling. The claim is that these ionic foot baths suck the “toxins” out through your foot and the proof is that the water turns various shades of yellow and brown. In truth, the water would change color even without your feet due to oxidation of the salts and minerals in the water caused the electrolytic properties of the probe they place in the water.  You can read about it in more detail here.
