I am an orthomolecular nutritionist specializing in hair tissue mineral
analysis.  One of the protocols I use for detoxification of body stores of heavy
metals is far infrared saunas.  Today there is being markented "detoxification"
foot patches containing wood vinegar, tourmaline, germanium, and a few other
ingredients.  The manufacturers claim the foot patches produce far infrared in
ones body, therefore eliminating the toxins through ones feet into the patch! 
Please tell me if this is junk science?
