 "Human health trends over the past few decades provided a possible clue. A similar spectrum of health effects found in the lab animals exposed to certain phthalates was also occurring in people: sperm counts appeared to be declining in industrialized countries, birth defects of the male reproductive tract had been increasing, and testicular cancer was on the rise.

San Pedro can often be found in Cupisnique and Moche iconography [15,16]."- Rainer W. Bussmann and Douglas Sharon, Plants of the four winds - The magic and medicinal flora of Peru (Get the book.) |
