With technological progress, people enjoy wealth and the fruits of science but also suffer from its byproducts—such as "mad cow disease," "lean meat hormone," "plastic wrap," and other toxins. Toxins refer to all harmful substances that are detrimental to health. What we eat, drink, and wear—modern people are constantly exposed to chemical toxins, radiation toxins, psychological toxins, and more. Toxins are present in everyone's body and are the root cause of human diseases and aging. Detoxification not only promotes beauty but goes beyond bowel movement; health maintenance begins with detoxification.
This book introduces several scientific, practical, simple, and safe detoxification methods, which we believe will benefit a broad readership.
