Minger/Krahn offer unique new service
Vernonia residents, Sue
Minger and Marie Krahn, are
offering a new and unique serv
ice, a foot bath from NRG
Works.
The NRG is a foot bath sys
tem that utilizes a mechanical
system of energy and water to
enhance the bio-electric field of
the body as a therapeutic aid
for increased vitality and well
being. The NRG Works module
uses the water to set up a neg
atively enhanced field with your
body to complete a conductive
cycle so your body, via your flu
id system, becomes negatively
charged. The disease condi
tions (bacteria, infections,
viruses, and parasites) of the
body are associated with posi
tively charged ions. The foot
bath allows the fluid systems of
the body to carry the disease
conditions out through the der
mal layers and into the foot
bath water.
Now, what’s it like to get a
foot bath; You take your shoes
off, put your bare feet in a tub of
warm water and relax for 20 to
40 minutes. The water changes
color during the bath and the
changes represent the disease
conditions (toxins) leaving the
body. There is no pain, though
if there is any discomfort, the
feet can be removed or the
time shortened.
Afterwards, different people
describe the results in different
ways. Some feel they have
been energized, some that
they have been cleansed,
some feel that different body
parts have been detoxed and
positively affected.
The foot bath can be repeat
ed as desired, as often as
every other day.
Minger has a long-standing
interest in herbal therapy and

herbal products. In addition,
