Entgiftung ist ein sehr übles Thema. Immer wieder tauchen die absurdesten Mittel auf, um dies oder das im Körper oder aus dem Körper zu entgiften.

Detox footpad marketers curbed.
A federal judge has approved a stipulated agreement under which the
marketers of Kinoki Foot Pads-Yehuda Levin and his company, Xacta
3000, Inc.-are barred from promoting or selling any dietary
supplement, food, drug, or medical device, and from helping others do
the same. [At FTC's request, judge imposes ban on marketers of
"detox" foot pads: Advertising claimed "ancient Japanese secret"
could treat medical conditions. FTC news release, Nov 4, 2010]
http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2010/11/xacta.shtmIn 2009, the FTC charged the marketers with falsely claiming that
when applied to the soles of the user's feet at night, the pads would
remove toxins, metabolic wastes, heavy metals, and chemicals from the
body; treat headaches, depression, parasites, fatigue, insomnia,
diabetes, arthritis, high blood pressure, cellulite, and a weakened
immune system; and cause weight loss. The defendants agreed to a
judgment of $14.5 million, which represents the total revenues from
the sale of the pads. However, based on their inability to pay, the
entire judgment is suspended but will become due if they are found to
have misrepresented their financial condition. For additional
