0:12.5	Today I'll be talking about how to cleanse your body along with your mind and spirit.
0:18.5	And so if you're a person knowing you need to cleanse your liver, your gallbladder, your digestive system,
0:26.1	your kidneys, your lymphatic system, and your mind and your spirit, then I'm going to dive into how to do that today.

1:44.5	medicine, and ancient medicine believes this and is aware of this. Also, different religious
