So, as I said my remark didn’t come out right, but, some molecules may be considered harmful at low dose and harmless at high dose if they stabilize a deteriorating conduction at or over some threshold concentration. Yeah I know it’s a fetch but you got me thinking… It’s not that clear cut.

I mean the urine of someone on chemotherapy is pretty toxic, still we consider the molecules beneficial to the patient overall (the patient-tumor system if you will, not the patient by themselves).
