How is ionic foot detox similar to chelation therapy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They are not: They are completely different things. Chelation is the administration of agents to remove heavy metals from the body. It has a long history of use in clinical toxicology. Ionic foot detox are spa treatments that might feel good, and provide no clinical benefits beyond that.
