☠️ What to Avoid at All Costs
“You are not sick. You are being poisoned.”
Summary:
Every day, we are surrounded, coated, and soaked in petrochemical byproducts, hormone disruptors, and immune-sabotaging toxins — most of which have never been proven safe for long-term human exposure.
Worse, many are banned in other countries yet still used freely in the U.S.
If you’re dealing with chronic illness, hormone imbalance, autoimmunity, infertility, neurological symptoms, anxiety, or mystery fatigue — there’s a good chance you’re being bioaccumulated into sickness by ingredients no one warned you about.
Let’s change that.
