A member asked:
Doctors what are your opinions on salt water float tanks? gimmick or do they really detoxify the body? is it safe to use? how often should one use?

Gimmick: It's an irrational gimmick. There are NO single health prevention strategies liks this, be it vitamins, various "cleansing" procedures, bowel/intestinal management, etc. Eat a balanced diet, exercise, control weight, don't smoke, don't overdo alcohol. Nothing else is likely to help overall health.
