    No it doesn't. If it did, you'd be looking at a major operation to correct it, not a mail order magic cure.

    Well, I suppose if you are so inclined you can also regard ayurveda, which recommends all kinds of inner cleansings, as quackery. I happen to believe in ayurveda; I've seen it work, and I've felt the results for myself. I've also done short fasts, and they are certainly not useless, as the article states. They have done wonders for me, and your article won't change my mind. But that is beside the point; I'm not here to argue about health practices.

    THIS paticular product is obviously quackery and I'm foolish to have fallen for it, but
    I still want my money back.
    The Terms and Conditions say that the trial period is 15 days from the day of ordering.
    I cancelled on the 15th day, so I'll be after them.

    Who could possibly think a system that believes in demonic possession could be quackery?

    Of course not, the Placebo Effect is well established as a real phenomenon, as is 'Regression to the Mean'.

    Is it a little harsh to ask why these scammers are so successful with the quackery believers?

    All the same let's hope your story helps others who may read this and I hope you manage to get your money back.
