“Many diseases originate from the accumulation of harmful and unnecessary substances in the body. Animals do not drink and eat what is harmful to them. Man is deprived of such an instinct and often consumes things that lead to diseases. Therefore, sometimes the body should take a rest or, as it is now fashionable to say, “detox”, to remove harmful substances from itself“
