- Klum stated her cleanse involves pills, herbs like clove, and papaya seeds, and is a months-long process she believes should be done annually.
- Medical experts, including gastroenterologists and infectious disease specialists, have strongly refuted the necessity and efficacy of these cleanses for the general population.
