Kioki Foot Pads: Has anyone used them? Do you believe in them?

I don't think the pads will do half as much harm as all these pills. I looked up fibromyalgia in my book. I have a good book and it does state that acupressure and moderate exercise are essential. It suggests twenty minutes of aerobic exercise three times a week. Emotional stress NOT GOOD. Also suggests learning to relax properly and doing deep breathing. Sorry but acupuncture is also suggested.

Hi reinydawn - What kind of vitamins did you & your husband switch to? Right now, we just started taking a multi-vitamin by NatureMade for men & women. If they made you feel so much better, I'm interested in which ones they are. Thanks in advance! Jill

Awesome, dragon. Thank you! It kinda makes you wonder, though, just WHERE that dirt has been hiding! I soak in the bathtub every day. I scrub from head to toe to exfoliate. My feet don't LOOK dirty but that was some nasty brown color on those pads! However, I was also very skeptical about them. I've thought that it was strange that so much garbage can come out through our feet when there's a ton of it up towards to the top of our bodies! Why not put the pads where they'd do the most good? Just never made sense to me. But, since my husband paid for them, why not give them a try? One thing I CAN say for sure is that I'm not feeling the least bit better today, although I did get 5 hours of sleep last night instead of my usual 1 to 3 hours of straight sleep. It probably had absolutely nothing to do with the foot pads, though. I do, occasionally, get more than 3 hours of sleep at a stretch. Maybe I'll just let my husband try them for the rest of the week and see how he feels. One problem, though... he's a definite hypochondriac so I really can't rely on his view of the truth regarding health. I kinda thought these things weren't anywhere near as good as they claimed, otherwise we'd see them advertized, and sold, everywhere! I don't know of a single doctor who has ever recommended them. I'll have to try that baking soda poultice idea, though. It can't be a bad thing to rid the body of dirty pores!

Please let me know how they work after a couple of weeks as my mom wants to buy some for her feet too!

Well, I CAN say that I slept a little better than normal last night. I normally can't sleep more than 3 hours before waking up but, last night, I slept about 5 hours before I woke up. BUT, I'm also pretty dizzy! I don't know if that's from these foot pads or not. I'm normally quite 'wobbly' in the mornings because of my medical problems but this morning was maybe twice as bad as usual. Once I got up, I was looking around for my glasses (can't see much of anything without them). I looked EVERYWHERE around where I always put them at night. It took me at least 2 full minutes of searching for them before I realized that they were on my face! THAT'S bad!!! LOL So, I don't know if I'm just having a flare of my symptoms or these foot pads have something to do with it. All I know is, I got up this morning dizzier than normal and am STILL dizzier than normal... one and a half hours later! But, it's been raining outside for the past 3 days so that might have something to do with it. (I have really rotten sinuses and they're always affected by a lot of rain.) I'll just have to wait and see, huh? I HOPE they're helping!

I'll let you know, annjilena. My husband is still using them every night and I'm keeping my eyes on him. After 3 nights now, he DOES seem to have more energy than usual, but he also had a job interview yesterday and probably already has the job because the guy he met with had already had a telephone interview with him last week, and wants to set up a meeting between my husband and Human Resources now. So, it really looks like he's got the job which may account for him having more energy. Depression zaps your energy like a thief! I'll just keep watching him to see if he starts doing things he used to avoid because of his chronic back pain. If he starts doing cartwheels, I'll be using those foot pads myself! LOL

They say to use them for a week, but only overnight. I'm going to just let my husband use them for now and see what he thinks. If it cures his thinning hair, I'll definitely be using them again!
