IonCleanse by AMD Glyphosate Study — Results Summary
A 30-day randomized study assessed the IonCleanse by AMD ionic footbath effect on urinary glyphosate levels in 19 participants. Ten subjects received 12 footbath sessions (three times per week, 30 minutes each) while nine controls received no intervention. Both groups maintained their regular diet and avoided other detoxification therapies. Urine samples were collected at baseline and day 30, analyzed by The Great Plains Laboratory. The cleanse group showed a 48% mean reduction in urinary glyphosate versus 14% in controls. Statistical analysis using paired t-tests yielded a large effect size (eta-squared = 0.8, power = 0.806). The study concludes the IonCleanse footbath has a large effect on lowering glyphosate levels. Limitations include small sample size and manufacturer funding.
Study Details
| Study Type | Randomized controlled trial |
| Participants | 19 (10 treatment, 9 control) |
| Duration | 30 days — 12 sessions total |
| Protocol | 3 sessions/week, 30 min per session |
| Laboratory | The Great Plains Laboratory |
| Analysis | SPSS v24, paired t-test |
Key Results
- Treatment group: 48% mean reduction in urinary glyphosate
- Control group: 14% reduction
- Effect size: eta-squared = 0.8 (large)
- Statistical power: 0.806
- Pre/post correlation: r = 0.986, p < 0.0001
- p-value: 0.18 (alpha set at 0.20)
Important Notes
The alpha threshold was set at 0.20, higher than the conventional 0.05 standard. With standard alpha, the p-value of 0.18 would not be statistically significant. This study was funded by AMD. The IonCleanse by AMD is not a medical device and makes no claims of treatment, diagnosis, prevention, or cure.
