I understand the concept of soaking swollen feet in an Epsom salt bath in order to draw water from the feet. But I wonder about the claims of this website, touting several products along the lines of Arsenic Detox Clay Bath. And most strangely, there is one for radiation, though I will assume they mean natural ambient radiation or radiation of the level from a television set.

None of their products actually make medical claims for either diagnosis or treatment. That's what the fine print at the bottom of the page says.
You gotta wonder what people think they are getting despite the lack of claims.
You can always stand on your head.
