Of all of the systems of the body, I’d say that I’m the weakest when it comes to my knowledge on detoxification.

I’m really not sure why. Maybe it’s because I’d much rather study poop than the liver.

Regardless, when your game isn’t quite up to par you bring in the big guns to take you to the next level.
