I need to take away The 7 Day Total Cleanse: A Revolutionary Juice Fast and Yoga Plan to Purify Your Body and Clarify the Mind from 5.4 Earth and Water because of a spelling error I made. (I used the word "TOTAL" and there is no “O” in TRENTEN CAICAI VILU.)

However, I will use the book. I will post --
