What is in the liquid that the feet are soaked in? What is the ‘science’ behind the gunk that is "detracted" from one’s body through the feet? What is the ‘gunk’? Will this help cure my plantar faciitis?

I have explained this many times. First yes it is total bunk. There is no way no how to detox anything through the feet period. These foot bath things work like this, the gunk is simply metals from the two dissimilar metals used as the electrodes, in fact the water will turn the same color even if there is no body part in the water. First you need electrodes made of two different metals, next you need to make the water conductive by say adding a small amount of salt. Next just run a small electric current through the water, there will be an electroplating effect where some of the metal from the electrodes will deposit in the water. Simple as that, this process is used for electroplating metals like gold or silver for example. It is amazing that people will be taken by this, and believe anything they hear. You on the other hand are questioning it and that is healthy. Total and I say total scam, it won’t cure anything but it will take money from your wallet.
