“I'm in shock,” she admitted, “I'm also in the middle of something called a milk cleanse because I love food and I love sweets. All I drink for days is whole milk. That's it.”
Then she reached over and grabbed a bottle of milk, took a drink, and continued: “I'm taking these pills. The idea behind it is that parasites love dairy products. And I was having a lot of intestinal problems. To fix that. We tried so many different things.”
“So the idea is that if you drink milk for eight days and then you take these pills, all the parasites that are hiding in your body will come out, because all they're consuming is dairy.”
“And I know a lot of people who have done this and they say it's really good.”
Cannon called the idea “terrible,” but Sigler took the time to hammer out a cleaner idea.
