Since the inauguration of the house, the first phase of the treatment has been carried out. Twenty victims are undergoing a 21-day treatment period. Accordingly, each day, they spend 30 minutes going jogging, 3.5 hours on the detoxification process at 80 degree Celsius or more, and drank vitamins and minerals.
