Cancer from toxins, inhaled, small metal dusts, lack of sleep and our brain
We must know what are the toxins or lifestyles that contribute to cancer. Some of the toxins are metal dusts and neurotoxins proliferate in the absence of sleep. We detoxify our bodies during sleep. My co-worker who had worked in semiconductor companies for many years had lymphoma (and survived) but not a friend who diedContinue reading “Cancer from toxins, inhaled, small metal dusts, lack of sleep and our brain”
