Whaaat? Are you saying there exist molecules which are very harmful in a (much) lower dose, but are beneficial at a higher dose?
Do you have any examples?

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).
I am saying that the network that comes up with “good” molecules will produce molecules that are very harmful as well, presumably at higher doses.
I mean take some beta blockers (helpful molecules) at 100x normale dose: pretty harmful.
Edit: Yeah my original comment didn’t come out right, I agree.
