Hey Motif, good to "see" you. I would challenge one thing: that at 17, a person is too young to do cleansing. Maybe once but in our society...
When I was 17, and not overweight mind you, I did not know it was a bad thing that I only used the bathroom once a week. Only about 15 years later after learning about this alternative health stuff did I pay attention and understood that this is a very bad sign, and a probable source for what brought me to cleansing in the first place.
With the kids getting sick younger and younger, I think some people may have plenty to cleanse at that age. Just my experience.
