An Unbelievably Lame Scam - Kinoki Detox Footpads
Toxins. They are all around you, in the air, in your food, in your drinking water. So how are you going to get rid of them?
One way would be to realize that “toxins” is so broad a term as to be useless and that in order to avoid exposure to specific health risks like mercury you need to do some research, analyze costs and benefits of approaches, and participate in a modern society with environmental, health, and food inspection.
But that’s too hard. So instead, turn off your brain and watch this commercial:
So let’s check off all the reasons why this smells scammy. Have you ever had any of the following symptoms:
- Headaches?
- Backaches?
- The dreaded… fatigue?
- And many more?
These symptoms could mean that you are filled with toxins! or more likely, that you are a human being, since everyone has a headache once in a while. In any event, products that claim to cure everything usually cure nothing.
The pads “work” by sticking to your feet at night and removing everything bad from your body. Everything bad includes:
- Heavy Metals
- Metabolic Wastes
- Toxins
- Parasites
- Chemicals
- Cellulite

Point number three is easy. Too easy. Isn’t it a bit suspicious that it does so much without any effort, pain, or discomfort on your part?
How was such an amazing products discovered? Through the amazing, ancient art of oriental reflexology. And acupuncture, or something and nature. Did they mention homeopathy? They should. Misusing a lot of scientific-sounding or hippie nature-sounding terms is point four.
So what did I miss? What other ways does this seem ridiculous to you?
