Dr. Teruo Higa: The Pioneer of Effective Microorganisms

Since the beginning of Dr. Teruo Higa’s life, agriculture and science have always been major influence in all of his life choices. From a very young age, he decided that he would become trailblazer in the agricultural field. He graduated from the Agricultural Department of Ryukus University where he also completed his doctorate in Agricultural Research. In 1970 he was invited to be became an instructor at Ryukus University and 10 years after that, he became professor of the university.

Dr. Higa is best known for his discovery for EM Technology or Effective Microorganisms. However, this incredible discovery occurred by accident. In the 1960’s, microorganisms were constantly being being studied, all across the globe, for many different applications. One day, Dr. Higa was working in the lab and accidentally spilled microorganisms near some shrubs. A few days later, he noticed that those shrubs had grown extremely well. Dr. Higa grew up farming and knew that farmers often only had the choice of expensive chemical pesticides and treatments for their crops. He decided to find a natural method through the use of beneficial microorganisms that would help relieve the farmers of their chemical dependencies.

Based off of this accidental discovery, Dr. Higa experimented throughout the years to discover the optimal combination of microorganisms and finally create the first use of EM Technology. The first creation is known as EM 1. EM 1 is a soil conditioner that can be used on gardens or crops. The soil conditioner creates healthy soil to allow plants and vegetables grow to their maximum potential. EM 1, is a liquid bacterial product that is made up of three main microorganisms. These microorganisms are Yeast, Photosynthetic Bacteria, and Lactic Acid Bacteria. All products using EM Technology contain EM 1 in some part of their manufacturing process. However, being a soil conditioner is not the only application of the EM Technology.

Another product produced from EM Technology is PRO EM 1. PRO EM 1 is a liquid probiotic supplement that supports healthy digestive and immune systems, supports weight loss, improves absorption of food nutrients and aids in controlling yeast infections.

EM Technology has also assisted in supporting oral health. Dr. Don's Antioxidant Oral Hygiene products helps prevent food from sticking to teeth and in-between teeth and gums. These products also deep clean and polish your teeth, ordinary toothpaste cannot compete with this kind of EM Technology.

Potent and nutritious health drinks have been created thanks to the EM Technology. EMX Gold is a potent health drink formed from the effective microorganisms. This drink can help strengthen the immune system, reduce risk of infection, reduce allergies, improve the body’s acid/alkaline balance and increases the decontamination of your organs.

EM technology has not only helped agriculture, but it also has assisted in the fields of livestock, the environment, construction, industry and health. Dr. Higa’s brilliant discovery of EM Technology has been introduced in more than 120 countries worldwide. Teraganix is the exclusive distributor of EM Technology products. These products are available on their website by visiting their online store.
