EMT in detail

Detoxification is a natural process carried out our body to eliminate the toxins accumulated in the body cells through various organs such as colon, liver, kidney and skin.

What are Toxins?

It is the unwanted substances found in food, air and water which we consume. That is whenever an inorganic substance gets into our body that causes harm, it can be considered a toxin. By "Inorganic" it means it is "Alien" to our body and that our body cannot assimilate or use it, but instead it harms.

These Toxins are continuously accumulating in our body and later our body has to take heavy efforts to purge these toxins. But we keep on dumping our body continuously with unwanted Toxins a larger Scale which affects the Human Health.

Our Susceptibility to Toxins: There are many factors that can affect the susceptibility of our body’s response to toxins. We can control some of these factors, but some are beyond our control.

~ Age: Young children and the elderly are more susceptible than healthy adults are. ~ Health status: People with low immune defences and with liver problem are particularly affected by toxins.

~ Gender: Women tend to respond more sensitively to toxins compared to men. Women have higher levels of hormones that are particularly sensitive to certain toxins.

~ Genetic make-up: Due to our genetic make-up, some people may have less detox enzymes, causing them to be more susceptible.

~ Enzymatic defects: Although rare, people with enzymatic defects may suffer more adverse effects from toxins than others.

~ Lack of nutrition: In order to work the existing detox enzymes in the body, optimum nutrition is required to activate them. A body will be more susceptible, if lacking in the necessary vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, etc.

~ Contaminated food: Constant consumption or nutrient-deficient foods, and foods contaminated with additives, food flavourings, preservatives, chemicals, hormones, etc., make a body more susceptible.

~ Drugs: Most prescription drugs are synthetic (man-made), they are inorganic and cannot be assimilated by our body.

~ Lack of exercise/Sedentary Life Style: Our skin is one of the biggest detoxification organ. Perspiration helps eliminate toxins through the skin. Without perspiration, our body has one less outlet for detoxifying.

~ Nature of the toxins: External chemicals are man-made and are toxic to our body by nature.

Due to any or all of the factors above, we are exposed to a wide variety of toxins that stay in our body for a long time. When we do not take measures to detoxify, our bodies become overloaded. Toxins get stored in our body fats, in the brain, our cell membranes, in the liver, kidneys, lungs etc. When new toxins continue to enter the body, they cannot get metabolized because the body is already overloaded. This backlogged toxins then cause damage to the detoxification organs and also attack the endocrine, nervous and immune systems. It is also during this time when new toxins enter our body, there are allergic reactions, skin breakouts, or chronic pains are felt.

There is Hope and Help: There is a long list of chronic diseases that are direct results of overloaded toxins in our bodies. Take this fact as a piece of GOOD NEWS because chronic diseases can be helped and will respond positively with proper detoxifying and nutrition.
