How Does
X-Static®
Work?
The antimicrobial performance of
X-Static®
has been validated by prestigious institutions throughout the world. In addition
to independent laboratory and field tests, X-Static®
was the focus of numerous medical abstracts published over the past 10 years.
Several studies prove that when someone wears an X-Static®
product, the fiber is so effective that sweat actually becomes antimicrobial.
When you compare X-Static®
to other antimicrobial products, there are several distinct advantages:
Speed:
X-Static®
eliminates 99.9% of bacteria in less than one hour of exposure. (Most
antimicrobial products test over 48 hours and still do not reach this level of
effectiveness.)
Catalysts:
The hotter and wetter the
environment, the more effective X-Static®
becomes. This is perfect, because bacteria are more prevalent in these
environments. At room temperature, bacteria in the X-Static®
product shows a rapid decrease in survival within an hour, but at body
temperature (37°C, 98.6°F) the bactericidal action was immediate.
Safe & Natural:
X-Static®
is safe, natural and non-toxic. X-Static®
is made with pure silver, a naturally occurring element. There are no chemicals
and there is no fear of toxicity for the consumer. Silver is one of the safest
and most benign substances to mammals. (The use of chemical antimicrobial
products has been clouded by fears of harmful side effects)
Permanent:
X-Static®
is not a surface treatment. Silver is permanently and irreversibly bound to a
polymer so it becomes a physical part of the fiber.
X-Static® is permanent and performance
does not diminish over time. In fact, X-Static®
has been tested for more than 250 washes with virtually no reduction in
antibacterial performance.
Therapeutic:
X-Static®
is used in several FDA approved medical devices for it therapeutic qualities.
Examples include TENS units (electrical stimulation for pain relief) and
diabetic foot care products. The mechanism of action in these therapeutic
devices is electrical and thermal conductivity.
Using the foot as an example,
many people claim to experience acupuncture-like effects when wearing
X-Static®
socks. Another common observation is the elimination or significant reduction of
edema (swelling). People also claim that their feet do not feel as tired as they
do without X-Static®
socks. Today, X-Static®
is widely touted in Asia for its therapeutic effects in numerous products.
Why Is There Such A Profound
Effect?
Electricity:
The body consists of thousands and thousands of nerves that
reach the surface of the skin. In fact, the bottom of the foot alone has more
than 7,000 nerve endings. The body uses these nerves to transmit electrical
signals, including the feeling of pain and discomfort.
Because silver is the
most conductive element, X-Static®
socks will pick up the electrical charges on the surface of the skin and
dissipate them. This results in less discomfort.
Magnetism:
Whenever electricity passes through a medium, a magnetic field
is created. Therefore, when the electrical currents from the body are
distributed throughout the X-Static®
fiber, a magnetic field is created around the body.
Beyond the traditional
belief in the benefits of magnetic therapy, many prestigious healthcare
institutions have recently published studies defending the claim that magnetic
products will increase blood flow and reduce swelling.
It makes sense, then,
that people wear X-Static®
socks on long airplane trips so that their feet will not swell.

Report
On Experience With
X-Static®
Socks
By A Certified Medical
Podiatrist:
"
Since May 2000 I use socks with
X-Static®
in my practice. Mainly to treat
Athlete's Foot, foot smell, foot
sweat and foot warts.
All patients
were instructed to change socks
daily and to wear them
regularly.
No other medication was given.
X-Static®
socks had been used to treat
over
100 patients.
In almost all cases, we achieved
the following results already
after 3-4 weeks:
-
Over
90%
experienced a considerable
reduction of
Athlete's Foot
up to a
complete disappearance
of the
Fungus.
-
Foot smell
could be
Stopped
in almost all cases!
-
When consequently wearing the
socks all patients experienced a
medium to extensive
reduction
of
foot sweat.
The
destruction
of the bacteria by the
X-Static®
socks and the improved foot
climate reduces the activity of
the sweat glands.
-
X-Static®
socks were also used to assist
the therapy of the
warts virus
because they keep the foot
climate dry and thus "wart
unfriendly".
-
Thanks to the heat transfer
properties of
X-Static®
socks, a lot of female patients
with
chronic cold feet
could experience a remarkable
improvement.
X-Static®
socks have proven to be an
important and
natural alternative
in medical foot care when
treating
Athlete's Foot,
Sweat
and
Odor.
For prevention and therapy I can
highly recommend
X-Static®
socks as a
highly effective
and
100% natural method.
"
X-Static®
works best for travelers,
frequent flyers, sportspeople,
outdoor enthusiasts,
workaholics, diabetic foot care,
athlete’s foot care. If you need
a pair of no nonsense, fuss-free
socks that keeps odor-free for
many days without washing, look
no further.
X-Static® socks were worn over
a period of 60 days with no odor
detected!
If it says
X-Static®,
you will be!
