Frequently Asked Questions

How often can I be treated?
As a general rule, if you are under 50, you can detox once every other day for 14 sessions. Then take a three week break before beginning the next sequence of 14 sessions. If you become too fatigued then space the treatments further apart, take a shorter break, and use a mineral supplement.

If you are under 10 or over 50, you can detox once every 3 days for 14 sessions and take a two week break. Children under 10 should only detox for 15 minutes per session.

Why can't I be treated everyday?
Daily treatments may create a healing crisis as the bodies detoxifying systems come into balance. This may cause excessive fatigue. Fatigue indicates an overstressed condition, and emotional upheaval indicates that emotional toxins are being released along with chemical toxins.

How long is the treatment?
The treatment takes 25 minutes. This is the right amount of time, along with the proper amount of energy levels, to assist the body in the natural detoxification process.

How long does it take to get cleansed?
The more toxins that your body has been introduced to, the more treatments you will require. Three times a week for 14 sessions is recommended to jump start the body. When you get to a place where you feel you are at your optimum performance it is only necessary to detox once or twice a week based on your lifestyle.

Will I feel anything during the treatment?
The energy used is the same energy the body conducts naturally. Therefore, you will not feel anything during the treatment. Some people feel a sensation due to energy flowing, but it is very subtle and does not have any pain associated.

Why do you use the feet?
We use the feet simply because the largest amount of sweat glands are found in your feet. There are 250,000 sweat glands in each foot which facilitates the release of toxins. The hands can also be used.

Why do you use salt water?
The body is made up of 60%-70% water. The salt water is the conductor which allows for the energy to pass to and from the body.

What is the function of the array?
The array produces the direct current into the water which generates the ionic field and transfers the energy into the body.

What are the bubbles coming from the array?
The bubbles are the separation of the hydrogen and oxygen in the water as the ionic field is being created.

Why does the water color change?
Due to the interaction of the toxins from the body along with the metals from the array when creating an ionic field within the water bath. The water will change color regardless of whether there is a person in the water or not, due to the metallurgic reaction of the array and the polarization of the solids and minerals in the water. However, there will normally be two-three times the cellular debris within the water when the treatment is combined with a patient.

Why does the water color vary from treatment to treatment?
Variations occur due to each individual's energy state and toxicity levels as toxins in the body are re-ionized at the molecular level and react with the metals of the array.

How do the 'black chunks' come out of your feet?
They do not come out of your feet in chunks. Everything is released at the molecular level and is drawn back to the original source, which is the array where the energy originates. It accumulates in the array and releases in chunks as toxins continue to accumulate.

Can I touch the array during treatments?
Your feet should remain still and you should not touch the array during the treatment. This allows the energy to transfer to and from the body without any interruption. However, if you do touch the array, nothing will happen.

Should I take off my jewelry?
Any jewelry that will be in the water bath should be removed.

Is the treatment safe for people who have metal plates in their bodies?
Yes, it is safe if you have metal plates in your body. The only concern is for electrical implants. Again, we recommend consulting your physician prior to use.

Can I Detox while taking prescription drugs?
If you are taking any medications or supplements, you can be treated but must replenish upon completion of the treatment within 1-2 hours. Most doctor prescribed medicines will not cause any harm but the decision is best left up to you and your physician. We recommend consulting your physician prior to use.

How will I feel after my 1st treatment?

  • You may feel thirsty which is common to all types of detoxification. Therefore, drink plenty of water following your treatment as the body is continuing to work and releasing toxins.
  • Some patients feel nothing. Each person’s toxicity varies and may take several treatments before the body is balanced.
  • Some patients feel an immediate increase in energy, especially those who have been blocked and taxed for some time.
  • Some patients may experience fatigue and/or nausea due to the accelerated release of toxins. This will subside within 3-4 treatments as the body starts to rebalance.

Should I use conventional cleaning in conjunction with Detoxing?
No. Traditional detoxifying including fasting, herbal cleansing, vegetable cleansing, fruit cleansing, colonics, parasite cleansing, etc. Traditional cleansing in conjunction with Detoxing will only tax the body. IHC is the most advanced method to cleanse the body. Unlike conventional cleansing, we are cleansing at the cellular level targeting every part of your body including the lymphatic system and all your organs – liver, heart, pancreas, colon, your blood, muscles, etc. in a fraction of the time. If you choose to use traditional methods, please notify us and we will plan your Detoxing accordingly.

The advantages of IHC Cellular Cleanse Therapy include:

  • It cleanses your lymphatic system, all organs and blood at the cellular level
  • The treatment time averages 18 to 25 minutes per treatment - half the time of other machines
  • IHC technology is the only machine to use energy from direct current (not converted energy) similar to that of the human body
  • Up to triple the ion production over other devices –300-400 milliolts which helps restore cells to healthy function and helps to produce ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) commonly known as cellular energy
  • IHC also has the ability to run both positive and negative ions. The advantage of this type of bipolar unit is the ability to alter the body's pH by using positive or negative charges. These charges assist the body in every aspect - from its ability to detoxify to its ability to digest
