Ionic Detoxification
Steps Involved in IVF:
Procedure Description
Ionic detoxification, often performed as an ionic foot bath or soak, is a procedure that aims to help remove toxins from the body through ionized water. In this method, patients immerse their feet in a basin filled with water that is charged with ions. This charge is created by a device that generates a small electrical current, which breaks down water molecules into positive and negative ions. These ions are believed to draw out toxins from the body through the pores of the feet, promoting better health and well-being.
The theory behind ionic detoxification centers around the body's natural processes of expelling waste. Toxins from the environment, food, and lifestyle choices can accumulate in the body over time, potentially affecting health. Proponents of ionic detoxification suggest that the ionized water can stimulate the body’s ability to cleanse itself of these unwanted substances, balancing pH levels, and supporting organs responsible for detoxification, like the liver and kidneys. The procedure is often recommended as a supplement to a healthy lifestyle rather than a standalone treatment for any condition.
As an alternative therapy, ionic detoxification is non-invasive and generally gentle on the body. Advocates believe it may relieve symptoms associated with various health issues, such as joint pain, fatigue, and stress. While the scientific basis for ionic detoxification is debated, many people who undergo the treatment report a sense of relaxation and renewed energy, suggesting that the process might offer benefits for mental well-being and stress relief as well.
Procedure Duration
The typical ionic detox session lasts around 30 to 40 minutes. The session starts with preparing a basin of warm water into which the feet are submerged. As the ionizing device is activated, the water may begin to change color, which is often attributed to the release of toxins from the body, although some experts believe this color change is due to chemical reactions involving salts in the water and metals in the ionizer.
During the session, patients are encouraged to relax, which may further support the detoxification process. Some facilities provide calming music, a comfortable setting, and aromatherapy to enhance the experience. Patients may experience sensations like tingling in the feet, which is generally mild and subsides by the end of the treatment. After the 30-40 minute treatment, patients dry their feet and may receive additional foot care or advice on hydration to maximize the detox’s effects.
Recovery is minimal as the procedure is non-invasive. Most patients can resume their regular activities immediately following a session. Some practitioners may recommend a series of treatments over a few weeks or months to achieve optimal results, especially if patients seek long-term detoxification benefits. However, patients should listen to their bodies and consult healthcare providers if they experience any unusual effects.

Risks & Considerations
- Possible Skin Sensitivity: Some individuals may experience minor irritation or sensitivity in their feet from prolonged exposure to ionized water.
- Risk of Dehydration: Ionic detox may lead to a mild loss of fluids, so it’s essential to stay hydrated after each session.
- Limited Scientific Support: The scientific backing for ionic detoxification’s efficacy is limited, and patients should manage expectations about its potential benefits.
- Electromagnetic Exposure: The process uses mild electric currents, which may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical devices, like pacemakers.
- Potential for Overuse: While generally safe, overuse could lead to imbalances in electrolytes and minerals. It’s best to follow recommended treatment schedules.
How to Choose the Right Doctor and Hospital
Selecting the right doctor and facility for ionic detoxification involves evaluating the qualifications and experience of the staff and the standards of the wellness center. Patients should seek professionals knowledgeable in complementary and alternative therapies, particularly those with experience in detox treatments. The facility itself should prioritize hygiene and follow safety protocols to ensure a comfortable and safe experience.
Additionally, research patient reviews and facility credentials to assess the overall quality of care. Verifying the certification of the wellness center or spa offering the treatment, particularly if located in a foreign country, can provide added assurance of a reputable and professional environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What actually happens during hyperstimulation of the ovaries?
The patient will take injectable FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) for eight to eleven days, depending on how long the follicles take to mature. This hormone is produced naturally in a woman’s body causing one egg to develop per cycle. Taking the injectable FSH causes several follicles to develop at once, at approximately the same rate. The development is monitored with vaginal ultrasounds and following the patient’s levels of estradiol and progesterone. FSH brand names include Repronex, Follistim, Menopur, Gonal-F and Bravelle. The patient injects herself daily.
What happens during egg retrieval?
When the follicles have developed enough to be harvested, the patient attends an appointment where she is anesthetized and prepared for the procedure. Next, the doctor uses an ultrasound probe to guide a needle through the vaginal wall and into the follicle of the ovary. The thin needle draws the follicle fluid, which is then examined by an embryologist to find the eggs. The whole process takes about 20 minutes.
What happens to the eggs?
In the next step, the harvested eggs are then fertilized. If the sperm from the potential father, or in some cases, anonymous donor, has normal functionality, the eggs and sperm are placed together in a dish with a nutrient fluid, then incubated overnight to fertilize normally. If the sperm functionality is suboptimal, an embryologist uses Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection to inject a single sperm into a single egg with an extremely precise glass needle. Once fertilization is complete, the embryos are assessed and prepared to be transferred to the patient’s uterus.
How are the embryos transferred back to the uterus?
The doctor and the patient will discuss the number of embryos to be transferred. The number of successfully fertilized eggs usually determines the number of eggs to be placed in the uterus. Embryos are transferred to the uterus with transabdominal ultrasound guidance. This process does not require anesthesia, but it can cause minor cervical or uterine discomfort. Following transfer, the patient is advised to take at least one days bed rest and two or three additional days of rest, then 10 to 12 days later, two pregnancy tests are scheduled to confirm success. Once two positive tests are completed, an obstetrical ultrasound is ordered to show the sac, fetal pole, yolk sac and fetal heart rate.
Embryoscope©
Built into this technology there is a microscope with a powerful camera that allows the uninterrupted monitoring of the embryo during its first hours of life. In this way, we can keep a close eye on the embryo, from the moment when the oocyte is inseminated and begins to divide into smaller and smaller cells, until it can be transferred to the uterus.
