In this brief monologue, Aravind Padmaraju, Ph.D., explains research showing that children raised in toxic household environments are at higher risk of weakened immune systems. He describes how chronic stress from such environments impacts the gut, noting that roughly 70% of immune function originates in the gut. Damage to gut health consequently diminishes immune capacity. Padmaraju emphasizes that the body, mind, gut, and emotions are interlinked and that treating these components in isolation is ineffective. He advocates for healing and processing negative emotions as a means to restore gut health and, thereby, immune function in affected children.

So there was a study in which I got to know that the children or kids who are in toxic households, they have a higher chance of, you know, decrease in their immune system because of the environment that their house have. Does this really happen? Yes, it really happens. As I told you, our body, mind, gut, as well as our emotions are interconnected. So when you are high in stress, What happens is it creates impact in the gut of the person. And you know, 70% of the immunity creates in your gut. When your gut is damaged, indirectly what is happening is your immunity power is lacking. So that's why it is very important you to understand how your complete body works and keep healing those negative emotions. These all are interrelated, you cannot treat them separately. So, so whoever actually having this, their gut is in a— not in a good condition. So because of that, the immunity power is not generating. That's how they lose immunity power. Okay, so that is why you need to work on— I, I have told you also to— you need to heal those emotions and process them and release them.
