The dose makes the poison
As with many things, the dose makes the poison.
Did you know how much toxins in the environment have increased in recent years? And do you realize what that can mean for you?
These toxins enter your body and are stored by the body's organs and cells. Many people feel this through numerous symptoms such as lack of concentration or itchy skin. This often leads to illnesses such as migraines and
gastrointestinal problems. Find out about these enemies in your body in our guide. Here you will find out where the enemies are everywhere
can be hidden. More importantly, we can tell you what you can do about it
