Hormonal toxicants, homonotoxicants, hormonal polluters… they are currently better known under the name of endocrine disruptors. And the reality is clear: we find them everywhere. For what ? Because since the end of the Second World War, the chemical industry has released into the environment more than 150,000 chemical substances capable of imitating hormones and disrupting, at the same time, the delicate balance of all organisms. Their names? Corinne Lalo names them 6P (6 poisons): pesticides, pharmaceuticals, plasticizers, parabens, polybrominated and perfluorinated. Their misdeeds? Disorders at all levels: cancers, infertility, malformations, new diseases, increased incidence of autism, diabetes, obesity, thyroid disorders, etc.

Kitchen, bathroom and bedroom are examined with a scalpel to detect all parasites.
