  • Meet the Kinoki foot pad, a simple patch that can remove “toxins” from your body while you sleep.

    What sort of toxins, you ask? Well, the Kinoki foot pad can remove:

    • Heavy Metals
    • Metabolic Wastes
    • Toxins
    • Parasites
    • Chemicals
      and…

    • Cellulite!

    How does it work? Well, the pads have “all-natural tree extracts and powerful negative ions,” and um. “When the blood circulates to the soles, the Kinoki Detox Foot Pad can absorb toxins released from the acupuncture points.”

    Skeptical? “This independent study proves Kinoki Food pads lower toxic materials in your body! Isn’t that amazing?”

    Amazing.
