According to him, every human who desires to be healthy must fart at least 14 times daily to avoid infections and headaches. He explained that regular farting helps in the release of toxins from the body to protect people against sicknesses.

He again claimed that Satan frowns on farting in the spiritual realm because it distorts his plots.
