DrugBuyers.Com: Unable to move upon awakening??

I went to the "kyotokara" webpage. The active ingredient, if it can even be called that is pyroligneous acid.

Here's a link: http://toxics.usgs.gov/definitions/pyroligneous_acid.html

To translate what the above link tells you, it is basically vinegar (acetic acid) and wood alcohol (methanol), with some other garbage thrown in. The reason the teabag changes color is a reaction of sweat to the pyroligenous acid and whatever else happens to be in these magical teabags.

You naturally lose waste products through sweating. There is no need to collect it on a teabag. You don't lose any more waste products with the teabag on than you would without.

But as far as these "toxins" go- can anyone name one with proof that it is toxic and must be removed?

Beyond the perfectly normal waste products that you would naturally sweat out, what toxins? Why hasn't modern medicine identified any of them?

I'm not trying to offend anyone here, and I'm being respectful of other members' beliefs, but what exactly are we talking about here?

I do agree that pharmaceutical reps have a powerful influence on many medical professionals- it encompasses students, nurses, doctors, pharmacists, everyone. They have a powerful influence on public opinion too with their commercials and propaganda. There are tons of goodies from the pharmaceutical companies- no one can deny that. And I do also agree that this unfortunately influences many doctor's prescribing habits.

And I do agree that there are some alternative medicine practices that do have a real benefit for some people. But you have to draw the line somewhere; I give more credit to acupuncture than I do to sticking teabags on my feet.

I really am not trying to offend anyone here, please don't take it that way- I'm stating an opinion in the same vein as anyone else.
