Examples

  • Unless you have an actual illness (coeliac disease or Crohn's, for example) - as opposed to being told that you should cut out bread by the "nutritional therapist" in your local health food shop - ruling out whole food groups, whether it be dairy or wheat, for whatever length of time, is unlikely to provide the kind of health nirvana to which the detoxer aspires.
