Pesticide residues, hormones, additives, contaminated air and water, toxic chemicals and heavy metal pollution, large amounts of pesticide residues, and other foods in modern life will produce toxin accumulation in the human body. Faced with the current situation, people have used various methods, including detoxification through food and detoxification through surgery. At the same time, more and more detox instruments have emerged as the times require. These instruments may be relieved to some extent. However, when choosing, you must choose a regular domestic manufacturer that has a production safety certification and can issue a test report, otherwise there will be hidden safety hazards, which is very important.

Employee: Discoloration of feet without water

"Different people use the same electrode pad to soak their feet. The color is the same. You are 'black', and he is 'black'."

The door was closed and locked. Six or seven foot wash basins were placed in the 10-square-meter reception hall.

Pour water and turn on all foot detoxifiers. Feet, not put in the foot basin, eyes, but stared tightly.

This is a process described by Zhao Hong (pseudonym) in detoxifying the feet.

Zhao Hong's original unit was named "Shenyang Fire Dragon Health Research Institute", and she was mainly responsible for selling a product called "American AD Anion Health Detoxifier." The ions are emitted, and the resulting color is used to identify whether there is a problem with your health.

She started the job in February this year, giving consumers free trials of detoxifying feet and selling products every day.

According to her introduction, the health detoxifier is divided into two parts, the host and the electrode plate. The user puts water in the foot basin in advance and puts some salt, then connects the host to the power supply, puts the electrode plate in the foot basin, and the machine starts to work .

"Dark green = cardiovascular disease; brown = liver disease; black = excessive alcohol consumption; yellow-green = kidney problems ..." This is the label on the detox instrument manual.

However, the results of the test done by Zhao Hong and three other colleagues showed that even if the feet were not put in the foot basin, the water still changed color after 30 minutes of detoxification.

Later, she conducted multiple experiments, and the results showed that the color produced by the detoxifier was not emitted by the human body, but emerged from the electrode plate. It was not the lesion of the human body that determined the color, but the type of electrode plate.

"If you use different electrode pads for different people, you will see the same color. You're 'black', and he's 'black'." Zhao Hong said.

As a result, Zhao Hong made up her mind. In April 2006, she and three other colleagues resigned.

In order to prevent more people from being deceived, on June 15, Zhao Hong and his colleagues approached our reporter, "We can't help them pit people, nor can we let them lie anymore, so call the newspaper and hope that To stop them. "

Unannounced visit: health reporter measures rheumatism

There is no factory site, no production date, and no approval number on the entire product.

To confirm Zhao Hong's claims, on June 15th, the reporter dressed up as a consumer and came to the Shenyang Huolongdian Health Research Institute located near Tieling Road, Sanjing Street, Shenhe District, Shenyang.

The institute is located on the first floor of a residential building with three rooms and a poster on the wall about the US AD negative ion health detoxifier.

Several employees were organizing promotional materials in front of the room. When a reporter entered, an employee came forward to ask. The reporter then said that he hoped to try a detox meter and then buy one for relatives, and the staff would soon introduce the reporter into the house.

In the room, the reporter saw this health detoxifier. The machine casing is made of white plastic with rough technology. The host weighs about several hundred grams. The electrode plate is a black iron block with bare wires and rust. There is no factory site, no production date, and no approval number on the entire product.

Pointing at a circulation diagram of a person's body on the wall, the employee said: "Our detox meter is made in the United States. There are a variety of types, the highest is 5,800 yuan, the lowest is 2,800 yuan, which is absolutely effective."

According to employees, the principle of the detoxification instrument is that super strong ions decomposed by the ion energy pump quickly enter the human blood circulation system from the foot. With its negatively charged characteristics, it strongly sucks through the single ion channel of the cell to suck out the long-term The positively-charged drug toxic ions are discharged from the foot capillaries and pores through the blood circulation system. The positive and negative ions are organically combined to form flocculants with different colors. The test results show that the ionic nuclear energy can correspond to the science of stagnant drugs in the body, which is clear at a glance ...

The reporter saw that the leaflets on the wall clearly stated the various colors and corresponding diseases produced by the foam feet.

With the help of the "enthusiasm" of the staff, the reporter experienced the detoxification of the feet firsthand, and the staff kept telling how good the detox meter was.

Within 30 minutes of "detoxification", red-brown flocs gradually appeared in the water, but after careful observation, the source of the flocs was not the skin, but the inside of the electrode plate.

After 30 minutes, the water in the foot basin was orange-red. According to the corresponding symptoms in the instructions, the reporter "should" have arthritis, rheumatism or gout, but the reporter's physical examination in a professional hospital a few days ago showed that The reporter is completely healthy.

Subsequently, the reporter asked to test again, and did not put his feet in the foot basin, only to let the detoxifier idle, but was rejected by the staff. The reporter stated that he wanted to ask the person in charge of the unit about the product-related issues, but he was still rejected.

Business: Factory name and address posted by yourself

"At first glance, the company involved two types of violations: false publicity and 'three no products'."

Yesterday, the reporter came to the Shenyang Fire Dragon Economic Research Institute again, and along with the reporter were inspectors from the Shenhe Industrial and Commercial Bureau. This time, Yang Chenguang, the legal representative of the institute, appeared.

The following is a conversation between the reporter and Yang Chenguang.

Reporter: Where is this product made?

Yang: American technology, part of which is produced in the United States and part of which is produced by a company in Beijing. We have import documents.

(Note: The reporter saw that the imported product on the copy of the import document presented by Yang was not a health detoxifier, but a foot cleaning product; the company that imported the product was not the Shenyang Fire Dragon Health Institute, but Shenzhen a company.)

Reporter: Is this product a medical device?

Yang: No, but we are applying for a medical device lot number.

(Note: Industry and commerce personnel said that this kind of health care products that show medical effects should belong to one of the medical devices, but the product is obviously not approved.)

Reporter: Why is there no information such as the factory name, address, and production date on the product?

Yang: We haven't posted it yet. We will post it ourselves.

(Note: Industrial and commercial personnel said that this is a "three-nothing" product.)

Reporter: Does your advertisement say there is an insurance company to cover it?

Yang: That's right.

(Note: Yang took out an agreement, and the underwriting unit above was the Sujiatun Branch of the Shenyang Branch of the People's Property Insurance Company of China. Coverage is only 3 months, which has already expired.)

Reporter: In your advertisement, you said that your products are specially supplied by the Organizing Committee of Heilongjiang Middle-aged and Old People's Health and Longevity Project. Which department of this organization was formed?

Yang: Including organizations approved by Heilongjiang Province s industry and commerce, public security, civil affairs, and aging committees.

(Note: The reporter once called the Heilongjiang Provincial Committee for Aging and the Civil Affairs Bureau, and both sides said they did not know the organization.)

Industry and commerce personnel said that most of the evidence provided by Yang was flawed, and the industry and commerce department subsequently ordered Yang to temporarily suspend sales of the product and submit all relevant information of the product to the trial.

"At first glance, the enterprise involved two types of illegal behaviors, including false propaganda and 'three non-products.'" Business officials said.

Customer: Anything you put in the pot will be "toxic"

"I didn't feel any physical changes after soaking so many times, so I stopped using it."

Case

Detoxifiers do not detox, and many buyers have the same view. Consumer Jiao, who lives near Liaoning University, said that because he was older and had various diseases on his body, he tried the AD detoxifier in person and really "discharged" colored "dirty things", so I bought one for 2800 yuan.

"After I bought it, I used it more than ten times in the beginning, and I felt that a lot of dirty things were foaming at the beginning. Then I always foam so much every time I use it. I really don't know that there can be so many 'poisons' in the human body. "," Jiao said, "I haven't felt physical changes after soaking so many times, so I don't use it anymore."

Jiao commented on the detox meter like this: "I don't have the expertise in this area, I can't believe it is fake, but it is certain that this thing is useless."

Consumer Dong said that since she bought the detoxifier, she has not used the machine normally, and the machine has always been faulty. Shenyang Fire Dragon has been promised a warranty by the Health Research Institute, but it has always refuted the broken machine. .

A consumer, who asked not to be named, said that he had tried it himself, and "poison" would appear in anything placed in the basin. This detoxifier was simply fake.

exposure

During the investigation, the reporter learned that in February 2006, a "detox-based strong ion detoxifier" was sold in Beijing. Its publicity principle and appearance are similar to those of the United States AD negative ion health detoxifier. At that time, a chemistry teacher and student of a middle school in Beijing conducted an anatomy on the detox-based strong ion detoxifier, and the results showed that:

First, the electrode plate does not output any energy at all, it is just an electrode that plays a conductive role. The color appears in the water because the redox reaction occurs on the two electrodes when the electrolyte solution is energized.

Second, the so-called host actually functions as a low-voltage power supply, that is, to exchange AC power to DC power, and to change the voltage of 220V to a lower voltage, which is equivalent to a low-voltage power supply in the laboratory.

Fang Zhouzi, a doctor of biochemistry from Michigan State University in the United States, said that a detox device like "detox-based strong ion detoxifier" is a deceiving thing, because its so-called scientific principles are simply deceiving in a set of specious scientific terms Pseudoscience, it is impossible for toxins in the body to be excreted from the soles of the feet through some "super strong ions".
