Nuestro cuerpo es una máquina perfecta, dotada para sobrevivir y estar completamente saludable en todo momento, pero hoy en día nos acostumbramos a vivir enfermos, a tomar medicamentos que atacan los síntomas, analgésicos, y no atacar las causas reales de las enfermedades. Podríamos decir que tenemos un hueco en el barco y en lugar de tapar el hueco, estamos sacando el agua con un balde, es una solución que funciona para que el barco no se hunda, pero no es la solución más adecuada. Sin darnos cuenta, los disparadores o detonantes de muchas de las enfermedades que padecemos, somos nosotros mismos, rencores, envidias, tristeza, sentimientos no expresados... todo esto mantiene nuestro cuerpo enfermo. En esta app, están las causas psicológicas de algunas enfermedades, que espero puedan servir de guía para que seas INVULNERABLE.
