Kitty, I've never heard of these pads before and they almost sound too good to be true, but I think they are worth a try for anyone that's interested. Wish someone had tried them to give us a review. Did you notice how they absorb all those toxins after just one night? Dang!!

Ladies, please...Heavy metals coming out through the soles of your feet? AND it gets rid of cellulite? Does it slice, dice, and do the dishes, too?
Kinoki footpads work like those Stridex acne pads, using mild adhesive to pull dirt and other detritus from the skin. The soles of the feet are seldom completely clean -- they're awkward to scrub, soaping the soles creates a risk of slipping, and most people do at least some walking barefoot -- so it's easy to find dirt there. The dirt diminishes over days of the Kinoki regimen because, by wearing the pads, there's no more walking barefoot. You could get the same results from duct tape. Kinoki's claims suggest that if "toxins" are not pulled from the bottom of the feet they will migrate to the hair on the head is absurd. - http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?t=89756 (Bold mine - DG)

Hi Kitty, It's so easy to get hooked into those infomercials. After the late night shows are finished here, the ads start. If I forget to switch stations, then, before I know it, I'm sucked in. I fall into a hypnotic trance, as Dr Ho works his charms on me, enticing me with his massage system. And he seems so genuine.
We have a public service announcement on TV here, for kids. It encourages them to remember that ads and TV shows can be deceptive. It's put out by a non-profit group called 'Concerned Children's Advertisers'. I think they should run something like it for adults too, at the end of the regular programming.

Dodge says he has a dodad. Didn't they say on the show that was even better than a Magic Bullet? We could split the cost three ways if Honi would join us.

No. You have probably heard the term "do-daughter," However, it's a myth, I'm afraid, especially when applied to teenagers. I speak from experience. My teenage daughter moves with all the alacrity of a sloth, when asked to do anything.
The site linked to above seems to promote aromatherapy. (It also sells products.) Aromatherapy is not generally an accepted form of medical treatment. Below from Wikipedia's article on aromatherapy"
The consensus among most medical professionals in the U.S.A. and England is that while pleasant scents can boost relaxation and may have related benefits for patients, there is currently insufficient scientific proof of the effectiveness of aromatherapy in general.[33] Scientific research on the cause and effect of aromatherapy is limited, although in vitro testing has revealed some antibacterial and antiviral effects and a few double blind studies have been published.[34][35]
Like many alternative therapies, few controlled, double-blind studies have been carried out—a common explanation is that there is little incentive to do so if the results of the studies are not patentable. Researchers at Sloan-Kettering have found that aromatherapy significantly reduces claustrophobia attacks for patients undergoing MRI scans[36]; however, studies of similar rigor are far from numerous. Some benefits that have been linked to aromatherapy, such as relaxation and clarity of mind, may arise from the placebo effect rather than from the inherent properties of the scents themselves.
Skeptical literature suggests that aromatherapy is based on the anecdotal evidence of its benefits rather than proof that aromatherapy can cure diseases. Scientists and medical professionals acknowledge that aromatherapy has limited scientific support, but critics argue that the claims of most aromatherapy practitioners go beyond the data, and/or that the studies are neither adequately controlled nor peer reviewed.

Westerners have been overwhelmed with the mystique of Asian natural remedies.As one that has lived in ASIA for 12 years and traveled widely, please realize that Asian"s are very superstitious,and even when faced with modern Meds, will often also take the natural solution as their ancestors did, just in case. After accepting Chinese herbs while on Dialysis, I spend the next 3 weeks close to dieing in a Western hospital, diagnoses was 4 un identifiable microbes in my peritoneal cavity. Western Drugs are refined, Asian natural meds are not.The foot pads do nothing but collect sweat and accumulated dirt in my experience. If you scrub your soles prior to sleep all you will see in the am is wetness , IE. presperation !

Now I am confused. Someone named those pads kinoki pads. After doing a search for those pads I came to this site: [Sneaky ad and link to bogus product removed]
Are those the same?
Cheers!
