Well, you could try running the footbath without putting your feet in and see if you could still smell the chlorine or see if the water still changed colour, then you would know that the brown colour and the smell aren’t caused by your feet but by the foot bath itself! For more information read the book “Bad Science” by Ben Goldacre, he discusses these footbaths right at the start (pages 2 to 5) and in his blog “Rusty Results“.

I too am pushing for a greater evidence base within our profession, and get very angry by the level of bullsh** that is out there.....especially things like this aqua detox. There are those of us that come from a scientific background and realise the extent to which nonsense like this can A)threaten our ability to continue practicing, and B)continue to affect the way in which we are portrayed as a whole to the 'conventional" medical/scientific communities. Much Kudos for this one. How about those dastardly detox foot patches (rolls eyes in disbelief)!!
