Glyphosate has been declared a likely carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer of the World Health Organization. Chronic kidney disease of farm
workers has also been associated with glyphosate exposure. Researchers Stephanie Seneff and Anthony Samsel have proposed that glyphosate toxicity in animals is due to alteration of cytochrome P450 enzyme activities. In addition, many beneficial microorganisms are susceptible to glyphosate, leading to decreases in beneficial flora and increases in bacterial pathogens such as Salmonella and Clostridia.

Recent studies by Seneff et al have found significant associations between the ingestion of glyphosate and/or GMO foods and a variety of diseases including common cancers, autism, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, diabetes,
and many others.

More Information About Glyphosate:

The chelating ability of glyphosate also extends to toxic metals. The high incidence of kidney disease of unknown etiology (renal tubular nephropathy) has reached epidemic proportions among young male farm workers in sub-regions of the Pacific coasts of the Central American countries of El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica as well as in India and Sri Lanka. The researchers propose that glyphosate forms stable chelates with a variety of toxic metals that are then ingested in the food and water or in the case of rice paddy workers, may be absorbed through the skin. These glyphosate-heavy metal chelates reach the kidney where the toxic metals damage the kidney. These authors propose that these chelates accumulate in hard water and clay soils and persist for years, compared to much shorter periods of persistence for non-chelated glyphosate. Furthermore, these chelates may not be detected by common analytical chemistry methods which can only detect free glyphosate, thus dramatically reducing estimates of glyphosate persistence in the environment when metals are high (for example, in clay soil or hard water).

Return Policy:

This product is non-returnable and non-refundable.

High correlations exist between glyphosate usage and numerous chronic illnesses, including autism, which is shown in graph. The Great Plains Laboratory recently conducted a study on a set of triplets (two with autism and one with a suspected seizure disorder) and found that when their intake of glyphosate was decreased (switching to organic food), their symptoms improved. Other disease incidences with high correlations include hypertension, stroke, diabetes, obesity, lipoprotein metabolism disorder, Alzheimer’s, senile dementia, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, intestinal infections, end stage renal disease, acute kidney failure, cancers of the thyroid, liver, bladder, pancreas, kidney, and myeloid leukemia. Correlations are not causations, yet they raise concern over the use of a chemical to which all life on earth appears to be exposed.
