Behind the scenes of a detox scam (kevinmd.com)

I use to work for a major nonprofit centered around natural health, supplements, etc. It is, absolutely, without question, a scam. The supplement companies, wealthy individuals who own those companies, and sell those products and services, support and prop up, not to mention being a huge tax write off.


Looks like someone lost their "religion" because they didn't find a "cure". That doesn't mean a fast or particular supplements don't help any specific use cases.


That's an oddly defensive response to a claim no one made.
