Glysophate and Your Health
Are you RoundUp Ready? Monsanto seems to think so. RoundUp aka Glysophate is the pesticide that was created specifically for GMO crops so that they would be resistant to any harm when sprayed but all the weeds attacking plant would be killed. Perhaps you've seen it at Costco, Kmart, Walmart stacked high ready to be sold by the dozens, and believe me it sells like crazy. Because it has been dubbed as "harmless", everyone sprays it. Probably, even your next door neighbor sprays it. I know that it is sprayed all over in large sums at Kapiolani Park and parks and recs around Oahu. I once saw someone spraying in Kapiolani Park and asked what it was,I was told it was RoundUp and it was sprayed throughout the park.
This week I had the pleasure of hearing Dr. Stephanie Seneff, a Professor at MIT speak on her findings that Glysophate is actually the cause of an alarming number of illnesses that we are seeing on the rise today.
First of all, Glysophate has immunity to any studies that would prove a link to it causing any harm to people and the environment. Many years ago when it was first introduced commercially the test limits were set very low that determined Glysophate harmless. The truth is that they have now raised the allowable limits so high because crops now require so much more due to super weeds and super bugs, but still claim it is safe with out testing the effects of higher usage- because the status of "safe", at low limits, made it "untouchable".
Dr. Seneff uses computer science to map out the parallel exponential growth of Glysophate and Autisim and other diseases.

Above is a link to Dr. Seneff's site and studies.
Dr. Seneff says always eat organic. She has many testimonies of people who were sick and switched to 100% organic and healed themselves. I hadn't realized that all wheat- unless organic, is sprayed with Glysophate when harvested in order to be less resiny when processed. It makes for a cleaner process. Many people who are jumping on the bandwagon for Gluten Free diets could actually be having a reaction to the Glysophate which attacks the gut killing all the good microbes and bacteria. I learned that bloody noses are one of the symptoms of Glysophate poisoning. This is alarming to me because my daughter began getting them when she started Kindergarten. She had never had them before and then would get them frequently. Oahu Park and Recs are sprayed,her school is attached to a park.
After lengthy conversations with Dr. Seneff, I asked how can we begin to heal? I want to be a part of that process. She said, Glysophate causes a Sulphide deficiency. We can start eating more cabbage and fermented foods. But most importantly she stresses eating organic. She said I should read "Cows Save the Planet: And Other Improbable Ways of Restoring Soil to Heal the Earth" By Judith Schwartz.
I am inspired so much by what I learned from Dr. Seneff. Although I am very conscious about what I eat, I know I can do better. I want to be 100% organic. I slip sometime when I justify that it is NonGMO Project verified or vegan, but most importantly it should be organic. Dr. Seneff said when she is home she is 100%, but when she travels it is hard. Here in Hawaii this can be very easy if we make connections with organic farmers, make our own food and grow our own food.
The bottom line is these Chemical Cartels will keep selling their product as long as people keep buying it. Please stop buying it, urge your neighbor to stop...urge your local stores that sell it to stop. If the demand disappears so will Glysophate. We are not RoundUp Ready and neither is our planet. All this toxic, chemical dumping pollutes our soil, water, air, animals and us. Enough already, it's time to heal. Please join me in this healing.
Organic is the way to a sustainable future for our planet, and future generations. If we all start choosing organic with our buying power then the scales will tip and the increased demand will lower the prices and drive out the chemicals. Let's do it! The time is now. I love you all. #GoOrganic
