Can poison be healthy

Warning please do not take any poison at any strength without consultation of professional person

Hormesis refers to a fascinating phenomenon - a favourable biological reaction to low doses of chemical toxins, radiation or some other form of stress that is damaging, even fatal, at high doses. Exercise provides a good example of a hormetic effect. Lifting weights actually injures muscle fibers, but over the next few days, those muscles grow stronger than they were before as the body repairs itself. Similarly, drinking alcohol in moderate doses - such as one drink daily - boosts antioxidant activity, as the body actively defends against the stresses of exposure to this toxin. Result: a modest cardiovascular health benefit (however, the effect is small enough that I don't recommend that abstainers start drinking for better health).

Along with exercise and alcohol, healthy hormetic effects have been observed from exposure to uncomfortable (but not dangerous) levels of cold and heat, mild caloric restriction (such as a day of fasting) and more. While undergoing mild stresses and discomforts appears to be beneficial, be sure to consult with your physician before making any dramatic lifestyle changes.
