Anyone Trying Knoki?

[Bajanne]

I have been seeing a very impressive ad on TV for Knoki.  It is a pad that you wear on your feet and it is supposed to extract toxins from your body.  i had expected to read about it on our forum, since this is a big need of dialysis patients.  Has anyone tried it?  Does it really work as it says?  In the ad, when you first wear it, it turns brown as it extracts the toxins. You keep on changing the pad until it no longer turns dark.  I would love to hear about it from someone who has actually tried it.

I have seen a similar product over here   it was on tv claiming all sorts of wonderfull things ..lol  Then a doctor came on a said ..what a load of rubbish , its just another money making invention. I think if they where for real we would all be using them instead of doing dialysis!

I would say its bunk.

One claim for such type of pads is that it removes cellulite.  Based on the claim I would say its nothing but snake oil.

I saw this ad while I was in the hospital after my transplant. If I had heard about it from a doctor instead of seeing an ad for it on TV, I might be inclined to believe it. However, since it's being advertised on TV, my belief is 1) it doesn't really do what it's claiming to do; 2) it has not been approved by the FDA; 3) the inventors are not even trying to get it approved by the FDA; and 4) it's someone just trying to make a buck. That's my feeling on any kind of ad I see that claims to have some medical basis, however, unless you have to get a prescription from your doctor for it, or it's some name like Tylenol or Pebto-Bismol or the like. Just my
