I used detox foot pads with Bamboo vinegar charcoal as a main ingredient. I know there is a lot of controversy about whether these pads work, but when I used them they initially were very black and "oozy" in the morning. Over time, they got lighter and drier in the morning.
That was proof enough to me that they pull crap out of the body.
There have been other discussions about bamboo on this board. One is the "FarInfrared is the

b" but there are others. It's good stuff!
