    CHI detox pads.
    Not sure if this is the right place to post about this.
    Has anyone tried them?
    I'm thinking of buying them for my mother. She has arthritis and high blood pressure. Will it help her?

    Unfortunately I have never heard of these, aside from googling them just now. I can safely say I don't trust everything I read on the internet or hear on the television or radio.

    Will they work? I can't say for sure, but they should not be used in lieu of her doctor's prescribed medication. Hypertension (high blood pressure) can be very dangerous to not only her heart, but all other bodily organs (specifically kidneys) if not managed properly.

    Many things like that and the foot ionizers and the magnetic things and even the hometic type massage pads say not to use if you have any blood or heart condition. Then you figure too how much can those little pads really do.
    I don't trust them because I heard they put a chemical in them that turns the pads colors when they are mixed with your body chemistry to make them like they did do something.

    Then you have to consider that a lot of things like that that you order over the internet may not be the best quality. I think they count on people not wanting go through the hassle of returning them.
    You are probably better of getting regular detox supplements.
