Brain Wave Research (June 6th, 2003)
Test article: Detox Foot Pad TRMX (Tourmaline)
Test device: EEG
An electroencephalography (EEG) (elek-tro-in-SEF-all-oh-gram), is a neurological test that measures the electrical signals your brain sends to the rest of your body, and then records them onto a graph. An EEG is used to evaluate the cause of seizures, diagnose comas, and evaluate strokes and sleep disorders. It can also be used to determine the presence and location of brain injuries, abscesses, tumors, intracranial hemorrhages, and to confirm brain death.
Brainwaves, like all waves, are measured in two ways. The first is frequency, or speed of electrical pulses. Frequency is measured in cycles per second (cps or HZ), ranging from .5cps to 38cps. The second measurement is amplitude, or how strong the brainwave is. There are four categories of brainwaves: Beta, Alpha, Theta, and Delta. When we are accessing our multidimensional self we are able to use a combination of all four brainwaves.
ALPHA WAVES
Alpha Waves have a bridging capacity between our conscious and unconscious/superconscious minds, as well as a vivid imagery, and relaxed, detached awareness. When we completely relax, we shift into Alpha waves, which are between 8 and 12 cycles per second (cps). Alpha waves are slower in frequency than Beta, but have greater amplitude. A person who takes time out to reflect, meditate, or take a break from activity is often in an alpha state. When we concentrate intently on one thought, emotion, or activity we have less stimuli to process and our brains can go into Alpha waves. With Alpha wave consciousness we are not bound by time and space as we are in Beta Waves. This frees our left-brain's logical, sequential organization and allows us to also access our more creative and intuitive right brain.
Alpha brainwaves are conducive to creative problem solving, accelerated learning, mood elevation and stress reduction. Intuitive insights, creative juices, inspiration, motivation, and daydreams characterize Alpha waves. These waves are relaxed yet alert. Therefore, they provide a bridge between our conscious and unconscious and/or super conscious minds.
BETA WAVES
Beta waves represent our ability to consciously process our thoughts. We spend most of our waking moments in Beta waves, in which our brainwaves pulsate at between 13 and 39 cycles per second. In this state, our attention is focused on the day-to-day outside world. We are largely focused on the logical, sequential activity of the left hemisphere because the brain is busy processing myriad information that has arrived through our five senses.
Beta brainwaves are conducive to stimulating thinking and action. Most of our current education is beta geared, and is characterized by logical, analytical, intellectual thinking and written or verbal communication. Beta waves are the predominant brainwaves in our everyday life.
THETA WAVES
Theta waves are our unconscious creativity, inspiration and spiritual connection. Theta waves, 4 to 7 cps, are associated with the deepest experiences of meditation and creativity. Theta waves are even slower than Beta or Alpha and are typically of even greater amplitude. When we narrow our focus primarily to our inner self, we can go into Theta waves. In this state it is difficult to maintain conscious contact between our physical body and the outside world. To maintain this state of consciousness we must keep our bodies still because we are so focused on our inside world that it would not be safe to move around in the physical world.
Most often this Theta state is achieved only while sleeping and, as we all know, it is often difficult to bring the memory of our dreams into our waking life.

Far Infrared Research (June 3rd, 2004)
Test article: Detox Foot Pad
Test device: TVS 700
Far infrared is part of the spectrum of light emanating from the sun. Far infrared is not visible to the eye, but you feel it as heat penetrating into your skin. You may be familiar with the infrared heat lamps sometimes used in bathrooms. Far infrared produces heat in a similar fashion, but is much more efficient because it penetrates even deeper into the skin.
Far infrared light, and its therapeutic properties, have been studied in China and Japan for over twenty years and are now beginning to become very popular in the rest of the world. Far infrared is very helpful for healing the skin, blood circulation, and skin cell revitalizing. Far infrared originated from detox pads is 100% natural & 100% safe, made from natural ingredients, emitted without the help of electric devices.

Negative Ion Research (June 14th, 2004)
Test article: Detox Foot Pad TRMX
Test device: KST-900
Negative ions are odorless, tasteless, and invisible molecules that we inhale in abundance in certain environments; think of mountains, waterfalls, and beaches. Once they reach to our bloodstream, negative ions are believed to produce biochemical reactions that decrease levels of serotonin helping to relieve stress (calming), alleviate depression, boost our daytime energy and increase defence against infection.
Ions are molecules that have gained or lost an electrical charge. They are created in nature as air molecules break apart due to the sunlight, radiation, and moving air and water. You may have experienced the power of negative ions when you last set foot on the beach or walked beneath a waterfall. The air circulating in the mountains and the beach is said to contain tens of thousands of negative ions -- Much more than the average home or office building, which may contain dozens or hundreds, and in fact many register a flat zero.
Previous negative ion measurements had been done in certain places in Japan.
In regular room with windows: approximately 150 ion/cm3.
Near river: approximately 600 ion/cm3.
Near big fountain: approximately 1000 ion/cm3.
Near waterfall (half the size of Niagara): approximately 3000 ion/cm3.
Near big Tourmaline stone: approximately 500 - 2000 ion/cm3.
Measurement was performed under 60 seconds in a closed room with a temperature of 25 degree Celcius, and humidity of 35%.
FHSA Primary Skin Irritation (May 7th, 2003)
Test article: Detox Foot Pad
Test device: Gauze, zonas porous tape, dental dam/rubber sheeting, Micropore surgical tape, 25 gauge needle.
This study is designed to show the degree of skin irritation caused by the test article under evaluation.
Six New Zealand White rabbits were used in the test. Twenty four hours prior to dosing, the hair on each animal's back was removed with clippers. One inch square pieces of the test article were cut and applied to intact and abraded areas on the skin of each animal. The squares of test article were held in place with surgical tape. To protect the dosing sites and to promote occlusion, the trunks of each animal were wrapped with gauze, which was held in place with zonas tape. The gauze was then wrapped with an elastic bandage.
After 24 hours, the animals were unwrapped and the article removed. The test sites were observed and scored 24 and 72 hours after dosing. Based on the scores, a Primary Irritation Index was calculated in order to evaluate the material's potential to be a primary irritant.
RESULT
Primary Irritation Score was 0. The test article is NOT a primary irritant.

USP Microbial Limit Validation (June 9th, 2003)
Test article: Detox Foot Pad
Test device: Scissors, Forcep, TSB, LCB, TSA, SDA, TTB, Selenite Cystine Broth, MacConkey Agar, Baird Parker Agar, Cetrimide Agar, BSA (Bismuth Sulfate Agar), Brilliant Green Agar, XLD Agar.
This procedure validates the test results obtained from the performance of the Microbial Limits Test. Recovery of the appropriate positive colonies on the selective agars is considered to validate Mircobial Limits test results for that product and any other product with the same active ingredient at a lower concentration. This validation should be conducted on any unique product, or any product that is significantly changed.
If the appropriate positive colonies on the selective agars are not recovered, the validation test may be repeated. In this case, the Microbial Limits Test procedure is modified to ensure maximum recovery of the challenge organism. If a procedure modification cannot eliminate the bactericidal activity of the product, then the product is not likely to be contaminated with the given species.
RESULT
Safe and free from micro organisms.
