Sure, some people's dandruff and psoriasis might be cleared up with a "detox," but not everyone's. Most cases of eczema and psoriasis is not caused by a yeast infection, more often it's a immune system problem, so a detox isn't going to help shit.

And I'm not just throwing random information out about it. I know people with psoriasis and eczema, and no detoxing has never helped their problems, nor are their conditions caused by a yeast infection. I personally have an oily scalp that if I don't wash my hair regularly I develop dandruff (thankfully don't have to use head and shoulders shampoo to treat), so yeast is not the sole cause of that either. Not to mention a detox doesn't treat a yeast infection. You have to use an antifungal to get rid of the yeast infection.

Just reminding people to take such wild claims that yeast is the sole cause of psoriasis (false), eczema (false), dandruff (false), and athlete's foot (only true claim), and can be fixed by taking this "detox" pill, with a grain of salt is not downplaying the effectiveness of the product, it's disputing the very wild claims they're saying their product fixes.

Yes a detox of the gut is often a good thing, and should be part of a healthy diet, but it doesn't guarantee that your dandruff will go away because when you detoxed you got rid of "yeast" from your gut. Even if it does, it doesn't mean there was a "yeast infection" in your gut causing your dandruff. Correlation does not make Causation. That's like saying "I drink water, and I've never gotten the flu."
Oh my goodness that burns me up. My father had psoriasis. At the worst he had scales almost everywhere except his face. Seeing misinformation like that stings when I think through the utter hell he went through trying to control it - uv light therapy, creams, lotions, medicines...he wasn't willing to try biologicals because he had medically-controlled epilepsy.

I effing hate MLMs (i'm assuming that's what we are talking about here, it's so on track for MLM cult like behavior). Otherwise, people need to stfu and go get an actual medical degree if they're that invested in being "correct".

People using MLM to mean Multi Level Marketing throw me off, because I keep reading it as 'men loving men'.
If you see me posting nonsense, give me a smack and tell me to go write.

I know about multi-level marketing but had no idea MLM also stands for "men loving men". XD

Hoo! Further on this: I called again tonight because unsurprisingly the computer did indeed bluescreen when plugged directly into the wall socket. The first guy I talked to tonight seemed to think it was a software issue and had me put in the disc to reinstall Windows10... then shunted me "up a level" to talk to apparently the head tech. While I was talking to him, the Win10 installation failed and the computer no longer recognizes an operating system. (I'm on the dinoputer now.) After a few questions wherein I repeat some of the error messages we've gotten, the guy asks if the RAM 'clicked" in place when I seated it. I commented that I don't handle computer innards, I'd sent the tower in for service and still had problems when it was returned. So I am now being emailed a shipping label so I can send the tower back in to hopefully get fixed this time.

Wow that sounds incredibly irritating, I'm sorry! Good luck sending it back and getting it fixed again... I hate it when stuff like that happens. D:

Thank you. I think I won't be buying a Cyberpower again, nor recommending them to my friends.
