Ashok Gupta explains that an overactive stress response can disable your body's detoxification systems, trapping heavy metals. He recommends working with a doctor on detox but says shifting into rest mode through his program lets the body clear toxins itself. He cites anecdotal reports of patients with diagnosed metal toxicity improving on the program.
What if I have severe heavy metal toxicity, which is unaddressed? So once again, you can work with your doctor to see if there is a way that you can address that at the same time. And this is a really important point for everybody dealing with a lack of detoxification. We know as part of the Gupta hypothesis, that when your sympathetic nervous system is over triggered, triggering the immune system nervous system, our detoxification systems shut down, which can then cause a buildup of toxins from food. So each type of food that we have, there's a toxic buildup from that and also there can be heavy metal buildups as well. Now you may say, well, I have to treat that. There are many different detoxification processes and plans out there. That's up to you what you choose. What we find that getting your body back into parasympathetic mode, which is a rest, heal and digest mode, actually detoxifies the body much better than any other external process because the body is its best own detoxifier. So I believe, and we've had many people who've attested to this, that they've been diagnosed with metal toxicity, but they've still been able to get better using the Gupta program. So just continue with the program and step by step, we believe that your body will detoxify itself.
