If you’ve seen the TV commercials for Kinoki Detox Foot Pads, you are probably wondering if they really work. Can you detox with foot pad? If this detox method is so natural and simple and works so well, as the company claims, why are we only hearing about it now? The consumer verdict is in, and it’s not good for Kinoki.

The product also claims to be able to help anyone suffering from any of the following ailments: headaches, backaches, depression, fatigue, insomnia, or a weak immune system. By claiming to help with such a broad spectrum of ailment,s the Kinoki Detox Foot Pads commercial is appealing to a large group of consumers. Who has not suffered from a headache, a backache or fatigue?

The number one problem with Kinoki Detox Foot Pads is that too many consumers who have tried to cancel the product have not been able to do so directly through the company that sells the Kinoki Detox Foot Pads.

Whether or not the Kinoki Detox Foot Pads work for some consumers and not others becomes irrelevant when a company that promises a money-back guarantee does not follow through on that guarantee. If you are willing to try Kinoki Detox Foot Pads and spend $20 or $13 a month, knowing that the system may not work for you, and you will not be able to cancel your future orders, then proceed with your online purchase.
Better yet, wait until there is a similar, generic version available on the drugstore shelves and try that instead.
