 I was not talking about the detox of addictive drugs and the inevitable
 acompanying withdrawal symptoms but the detoxification of the body from
 unwanted substances taken in with food and air and often stored
 for safekeeping in fat if they can not be released shortly afterwards.
 You don't seem to understand English at all when I repeatedly tell
 you that I do not wish to discuss alcohol or drug addiction (i.e.
 purposely self-inflicted injuries).
