Well, they DID as recently as 2003, the date of the linked article. But just flip through the channels if you think they still do.
Okay, then I propose you have someone use the pads until they are ‘clean’ THEN while still continuing to wear the pads, they should purposefully ingest some of the ‘toxins’ that it claims to remove (lead maybe), the pads should become dirty soon after, does that work?
Yeah but if you’ve got heavy metal in your body/blood/whatever, wouldn’t gravity pull the heavy metal to the lowest point of your body? In other words, your feet unless you walk on your hands all day or drag your knuckles so they are just as low as your feet. So it makes sense that the heavy metals would sort of congregate in your feet and then if you put magnetic pads on your feet, the heavy metals would be pulled out, wouldn’t they? You guys shouldn’t be so skeptical; surely they wouldn’t try to sell these things unless they did work, now would they? How can you not trust that guy who touts these things? He looks honest.
If they really want to sell a ton of them, they need Billy Mays.
Why? Does he have really toxic feet? 
I think you’ll find, as the FTC did with those silly electric impulse devices that you connect to your stomach that were supposed to give you rock-hard abs while you sat on the couch watching TV, that it takes time.
Someone comes out with a Miracle Product. People buy Miracle Product. Miracle Product doesn’t work. Consumers complain. FTC investigates. Naughty, naughty, makers of Miracle Product. You are not allowed to sell it anymore.
I’m sure these silly things will get banned eventually (or at least, the makers will have to put all sorts of disclaimers, like Foot Pads do absolutely nothing except transfer money from your wallet to ours) but until then, use common sense.
I also like this site, although right now the Foot Pads have four out of five star reviews. :rolleyes:
But some entrepreneurs get away with murder by not claiming any benefit to using the product. The television ads for Enzyte (the ‘male enhancement product’) and Head-On (and it’s friend Activ-On) say nothing about what the product is supposed to do for the consumer. Naive viewers may assume that taking Enzyte will increase the size of their penis, or that Head-On will provide relief from a headache, but nothing in the TV ads promises this and nothing could be further from the truth.
Enzyte’s website claims: “Taken once a day, Enzyte supports the strongest, most powerful erections possible to help you achieve peak sexual enhancement.” But I got some DVDs that will do that too.
