I saw some at our CVS store for $19.99. The difference in price is probably just the manufacturer.

I have never tried them, but I want to! It can't hurt to try.

I ordered some at the cheaper price and when it came, I found that the package had 10, instead of 30.
The highest price I have seen is $40 for 30 pads.

thanks so much for your reply. Think I will try them.

Just curious has anyone used these and do they help. My mother has ordered them for me.

I saw a report about them on tv that John Stossel did. They bought a bunch and gave them to volunteers to do for like a week. They sent each pad to a lab for analysis and it showed it does absolutely nothing (sorry guys!). I guess the color change is just due to the sweat on your feet mixing with whats inside the pad.

Here's the story if you want to read/see it:

i work at walgreens and we sell them 14 for $20 (a two week supply) they are called kinoki foot pads and i have tried them and i noticed that i sleep a little bit better when i use them (not a whole lot better but i woke up feeling more refreshed than when i dont use them) but then it may all be in my head too. good luck.

I just found the ones at Walgreen's.....yeah!
And personally, I do feel better when I use them, regardless of what the 'research' says......
I feel stronger the next day and I have only used them once in awhile, but my feeling better is consistent.
So I think they are definitely worth the try!!!!

Hi Grandma Thanks so much for your reply. Definately going to try them. Anything to have just a little relief.

I hate to say this and please don' t blast me for saying so, but I heard that they are a rip-off and the relief you may get is mostly mind over matter

I don't have the current catalog, but I think you can order them from Avon too. I need to see some more positive feedback before I try them. I might ask at the Health food store on my nexr visit. I don't have the extra money to give it a try. Keep me posted on these, please
I'm still wondering about the candida connection to fibro. What's the verdict on that?
