by Andrew Pacholyk
About Me View My Posts
Detoxifying is the process of releasing accumulated toxins and waste products that build up throughout our system. From birth, we are bombarded by toxins, externally from environmental sources.

There are a number of reasons why such a diagnosis is hard to take but the most salient one is the fact that there isn't (at least officially) a cure.
