stress is a natural way to deal with life, however, when we get overloaded with stress, we are unable
to recycle the chemicals component and end up with inflammation. The more stress, them more
inflammation, which will shift our genetic expressions and contaminate our cellular communication.

those who make it an industry and make money are doing a dis service to humanity.
