Question

You can’t detox your body. It’s a myth. So how do you get healthy?

“Let’s be clear,” says Edzard Ernst, emeritus professor of complementary medicine at Exeter University, “there are two types of detox: one is respectable and the other isn’t.” The respectable one, he says, is the medical treatment of people with life-threatening drug addictions. “The other is the word being hijacked by entrepreneurs, quacks and charlatans to sell a bogus treatment that allegedly detoxifies your body of toxins you’re supposed to have accumulated.” If toxins did build up in a way your body couldn’t excrete, he says, you’d likely be dead or in need of serious medical intervention. “The healthy body has kidneys, a liver, skin, even lungs that are detoxifying as we speak,” he says. “There is no known way – certainly not through detox treatments – to make something that works perfectly well in a healthy body work better.”

Ao afirmar que não há um meio de desintoxicar o corpo com o uso de receitas milagrosas, o médico defende a ideia de que nosso corpo

a) retém os nutrientes consumidos.
b) precisa de uma séria intervenção médica.
c) está constantemente eliminando as impurezas.
d) reconhece apenas uma maneira de desintoxicação.
e) funciona ainda melhor sem produtos desintoxicantes.
