A Visit South article by Lois Carol Wheatley
You have no idea how desperately you need to detoxify your feet, and you’ll see what a real emergency you had on your hands— feet—once you’ve done it. Run, don’t walk, down to Prima Day Spa to sink those toxin-choked dogs into a foot detox tub. A little black box gizmo puts out an ionic charge that pulls out the toxins and turns the water an extremely unattractive brownish-orange. Well, most spa treatments are designed to suck out the ugly and restore the beauty we all once had before stress, pollution, junk food, and wear and tear took it away. Acupuncturists call the foot the map to the body, and maybe it’s gravity that pulls on all those bodily channels to bring it all down to the lowest point. The brownish-orange water in your foot detox tub is dark with lead, aluminum, and other civilization-related toxins released through the more than 2,000 sweat glands in the feet. This is your big chance to dump all that down the drain. Of course you can also get facials, massages, manicures, pedicures, spray tans, wraps, waxes, lash extensions, permanent cosmetics, and chemical peels. And you can see lots of art from local artists, a treat for the eyes almost as soothing as a couple slices of cucumber. Go to 5101 Dunlea Court, call (910) 794-8041, or visit www.primadayspa.com. __________________________________________________________________________________ A WECT article by Kim Gebia Wilmington-- A day at the spa is supposed to be beautifying but this new treatment is downright ugly.

TV station attempts big league exposé
style reporting by attacking respected First, a recent letter from Katie Weaver an RN who is a client and friend to Prima: Hey guys, I just got finished reading the whole section on the "scam'' foot treatments. What most people don't know is that there are over 2000 pores in each one of our feet. Our lymphatic system constantly carries wastes throughout our bodies, most of which never leave our bodies due to the fact that there is no way to get out. This makes our bodies sick, diseased, achy, allergic, tired, etc... This is a "no brainer" people....the reason why our shoes stink is not because the rubber has gone bad in the soles of our shoes, but rather our feet are sweating out toxins. The sweat and toxins are absorbed in the lining of the shoes where bacteria and toxins breed. It is a breeding ground. Our feet naturally sweat, but I have never smelled anyone's foot that I would consider clean. This is not a "hoax" or "scam". For those of you who are skeptics, do some research while you're eating your cheeseburger from a local fast food chain. you'll find that most of the toxins in your body are from what YOU put in it. Don't attack the people who are trying to help you feel better! If you think its a scam, don't try it. Stay sick and miserable and keep eating your MSG and additives. Yes, I am as granola as they come. I have had three slenda wraps from Prima, and have gone from a size 12 to a size 6/8. It's not a hoax or gimmick, it's all science. I am living proof. You can't knock something until you try it. And as for the whole nail and battery theory, you can get the same results because the nail contains excess minerals, iron, and trace elements. It's a shame the nail and battery can't draw out the mucous, toxins and bacteria in your body. You could really have yourself an invention if it could!! Don't be a hater just because other people feel and look better than you. You should clean your mind with some of the natural minerals you are lacking, and become a part of a revolutionary movement to hopefully lengthen and strengthen your life. The worst thing that can happen is that you will feel better and look better!! Thanks for letting me vent, Katie Weaver, RN

Here is some of the information offered by the developers of Aqua Vida Foot Spa.
Why do you need to rebalance your body?
The body needs to cleanse itself of toxins each day. Toxins the body cannot eliminate are stored in fatty tissue, joints, muscles, and the brain. These toxins can clog cell membrane walls which are then unable to absorb enough nutrition to support normal cell functioning. Over time, this leads to reduced vitality and weakened immune and lymphatic systems. You can see this visually on pH strips as toxins tend to be acidic and reduce the pH balance. The AquaVida foot spa helps the body rebalance itself, improve pH, and increase energy levels.
How do toxins build up?
There are 500,000 different chemicals used to make, lubricate, clean, coat, wrap, and finish the products we use. Each year over 5,000 new chemical substances are invented. And while our bodies have complex systems that remove toxins, namely the lymphatic, skin, liver and kidneys, they are no match for this onslaught.
Heavy metals, minerals, synthetic chemicals and hormones, even human and animal wastes are in the water we drink, the foods we eat, the clothes we wear, the houses we live in, the air we breathe, and the cosmetics we use.
Cosmetics are currently below the radar when it comes to identifying toxins. TEA (triethanolamine), DEA (diethanolamine), and MEA (monoethanolamine) are commonly used in cosmetics in the USA. Their use is restricted in Europe as they are known carcinogens. Almost 50% of cosmetics containing ethoxylated surfactants were found to contain dioxane, a carcinogen. Most shampoos contain Sodium or Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, which caused eye damage, central nervous system depression, and even death to animals that were exposed to it.
The skin is the largest organ in our body and because it is permeable it easily absorbs toxins. The scalp is especially permeable to toxins. Consider the numbers of toxic chemicals put in your hair to color or bleach, shampoo, condition, and treat it.
Our bodies are bombarded by toxins. In 1999 a noted author and activist, had his blood tested for 150 different commonly used chemicals. His blood had 84 synthetic compounds, including 13 different Dioxins, 31 different PCB's, DDT, lead, organochlorine pesticides, chlorine, and malathion, etc.
What waste products are expelled by the sweat glands in the feet?
Eccrine sweat is composed primarily of water with
various salts and organic compounds in solution. It is a filtrate of plasma,
a colorless hypotonic solution that includes sodium, chloride, potassium,
urea, bicarbonate, ammonia, uric acid, phosphorus, fatty acids, and other
metabolic wastes.

Foot Detox First
WILMINGTON -- A new spa treatment is proving popular if you can stomach the results. A day at the spa is supposed to be beautifying but this new treatment is downright ugly. The foot detox tub at Prima Day Spa is simple, you put your feet in and a little black box puts out an ionic charge that sucks the toxins out from the feet. Just minutes after your feet are put into the tub you can see the water turn an orange color as the toxins are released through the more than 2,000 sweat glands in the feet. Apparently the foot has been called the map to the body and it a great way to clean out your body. Spa employees say the foot water is dark with lead, aluminum, toxins from stress, the air, food, you name it and it may be in there. Customers are usually grossed out by what they're bodies were storing but glad to know that their tub of toxins is going down the drain.
