It is unlikely they will ever try, because the basic idea that toxins will be excreted through the skin clashes with what is known about human anatomy and physiology. Real detoxification of foreign substances takes place in the liver, which modifies their chemical structure so they can be excreted by the kidneys which filter them from the blood into the urine. Sweat glands in the feet can excrete water and some dissolved substances.However, its minor role in ridding the body of unwanted substances is not changed by applying foot pads.

Second, that was written by Stephen Barrett, so take up your argument with him at http://www.quackwatch.org/

Third. You are an idiot. It is scientifically impossible to excrete measurable amounts of heavy metals, or any other so called “poisons” through the skin.

“…the basic idea that toxins will be excreted through the skin clashes with what is known about human anatomy and physiology.”

In actuality, if you know anything about basic human anatomy and physiology, the skin is the largest organ of the body and is largely responsible for ridding the body of excess toxins along with the liver. Every time you sweat you are getting rid of toxins (that’s why people with heavy metal or major chemical toxicity are often placed on intense sauna regimens where they can spend upwards of eight hours a day off and on in the sauna to sweat out the excess toxins). Of course your liver is the primary organ responsible for the elimination of toxins from your body, but our livers were not designed to handle the amount of chemicals we come into contact with every day, and in some circumstances the liver needs a little help. I’m not saying that foot patches are the answer, but I am saying that the skin can play a big role in the detoxification process. It is great to be critical about something affecting your health, especially when it can cost a lot of money, but please be sure to do some basic research about human physiology before you begin to criticize and before you begin stating things as fact that are not exactly true.

You see your premise that *any* foot patch can extract harmful toxins from the body via the feet is flawed (not to mention the other claims made regarding these products). Perhaps you should take a basic course on human physiology and you would know that.

Take your pads and shove them up somewhere where toxins really are excreted.

You may be using a cheap and possibly dangerous knockoff made in CHINA or KOREA.
