      He keeps saying "qualified health professional", but since this apparently includes naturopaths I'm feeling worried...

      ...you guessed it, detox! Never mind that eating differently makes basically 0 difference in your liver/kidney detoxification systems.pic.twitter.com/RVyGiEgqh3

      Remember; our ancestors didn't need to detox (presumably because they died at 30), but since we aren't living "naturally", we do!

      Also important is Mr. Nuttiness Himself saying that he has the true secret to detoxification. Alarm bells a-ringing...

      Now for the practical advice; how do we detox, Oh wise Mr. Evans?

      It's seriously odd how often these kooks really want to put things in their bum. Unless it has a flared base or is medically advised, don't

          Although the phrase "get your liver pumping into action" makes me suspect he is thinking of the heart

          And remember folks, if your liver isn't working properly, just take some medicinal herbs! No chance of serious injury or death there!

          Pete has said you don't need to be an expert, presumably because knowing stuff makes it harder to copy any old shit from the net.

          He's right tho; being an expert would get in the way of poisoning yourself

          His grammar, esp. in that 2nd bullet, is enough to have me reaching for the smelling salts

          In general the editing makes me cringe. Does he not employ a proof reader???
