For example, "LaStone Therapy" is a popular new therapy that is offered in some innovative health spas. This involves placing warm stones on key energy points of the body. If these stones were ionized prior to being placed on the body, the healing effects would be enhanced. In fact, placing Ionized Stones on any weak or painful part of the body, including the corresponding chakra, has healthful benefits. If crystals play a role in the therapy, ionizing them first greatly amplifies their positive effects.

Sadly, many parents feed junk food with one hand and body-image paranoia with the other - in 2005 health spas for pre-teens became the latest UK craze ('Sometimes I don't feel comfortable about my body and the spa helps me,' said one litde girl, who goes to the spa with her mum).

In my many years in the health field, I've spent time in hospitals and health spas inspiring patients to cleanse; recover their health; be strong; always live a healthy lifestyle; and treasure and protect their life! After his 7 day fast, I eliminated more refined foods and gave him more raw fruits and vegetables. After several more weeks, I put him on a 10 day fast. This was a much easier fast for him, but he still eliminated heavy amounts of toxic matter. This is called the "latent poison" that becomes concentrated in the cells of the body.

Cold-water leg soaks (Kneipp baths) have been used successfully in European health spas (popularized in the United States by Bernard Jenson, D.C., N.D., of Escondido, California).

Massage Therapists "Massage parlors" which were really fronts for prostitution rings as well as health spas that cater only to the rich have both given this ancient form of medical treatment a bad name over the last century. In fact this is an ancient therapy that has recently made its way back into mainstream medicine, often being employed to help with recovery from injuries and operations as well as in sports medicine and caring for invalids. There also is some overlap between chiropractic techniques and massage, though the two are generally seen as being distinct therapies.

Many times, a single food seems specific for certain ailments, and that food is used, for a short time, on a mono-diet which gives your delicate glands and organs both a cleansing and a much-needed rest from work which has been going on day and night for many years.

In some health spas, a daily enema is mandatory with fasting to help clean out toxic matter that may remain in the intestines and be reabsorbed. Because fasting itself is highly contractive, the expansive-ness of juices provides quite a good balance; that is one of the reasons for the popularity of this type of fast for countering the effects of overeating. In some cases, however, the juice fast (as well as the water fast) can overtax the kidneys because of the excess liquid intake.
