Cautionary Note On Slim Slippers

 
  
 


"What if I told you there is a way to lose weight without joining a gym or changing your eating habits?" says the front page of GetSlimSlippers.com. "Get Slim Slippers® are the way. Weird though it sounds, they actually work."

They certainly look weird. They're so tiny, your heel hangs off the back. People might think you borrowed them from a nine-year-old. But the Get Slim web site quotes a lot of wearers who swear by these things. One is Megan McCarver, a certified yoga instructor, who says, "Wearing them only 15 minutes a day will tone you from the inside out, causing you to shed inches as well as weight!" The site's "Reflexology" page promises even more:

According to Reflexology, Acu-Point Channels and Chinese Medicines, a regular foot massage will increase your lifespan by helping to balance your body. Unlike western medicine practices, which focus strictly on symptom relief, eastern medicine focuses on correcting the source of the health problem. However, correcting the source takes time. For every organ in our bodies, there is a corresponding area on the soles of our feet.

The purpose of the Slipper is to stimulate the areas that effect digestion and weight control, such as the Stomach, both Intestines, Liver and Kidneys, with magnets and pressure point therapy. The Get Slim Slippers are designed with No Heel, and a bulgy middle that, when combined with powerful magnets, stimulate the untouched sole of the foot, thus activating the nerves responsible for digestion and eating habits.
