    Dear Onowah,
    This post, (that you happened to write on my birthday, last year) is the most poignant, most powerful, most truthful I have read concerning the profound human trauma being inflicted upon our babies, our children, their mothers and their fathers by the evil forces currently ruling the pharmaceutical companies and those charged with regulating them.
    I am a mother, and I watched the health and happiness of my only child destroyed, one vaccine after another, during her fourth year of life.
    Until then she had been a flawlessly healthy, happy, and very intelligent child. While she has recovered much more than many other vaccine injured children, she lives with a weakened immune system, anxiety issues, and possibly infertility, all resulting from the massive level of toxins injected into her bloodstream by, or at the behest of, deceitful or ignorant doctors, school officials, and governmental forces.
    You are articulating the truth. We mothers know, without a
    shadow of a doubt, what stole our children's futures. It w as the vaccines.

    Strong Link Between Glyphosate Exposure and Asthma
    Posted on Aug 15 2020
    Sustainable Pulse
    https://sustainablepulse.com/2020/08...ive-disorders/

    "A new study from Argentina, which used the methodological criteria of the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC), has identified a relationship between environmental and residential exposure to glyphosate and the high prevalence of asthma in the small city of Monte Maíz in Argentina.

    The study ( https://authorea.com/users/350829/ar...ological-study ) has a very unusual story, as it was started at the request of a group of citizens, led by the Mayor of Monte Maíz, due to their concerns about previously rare diseases becoming more prevalent in the city. The citizen group requested an evaluation of the health status of their local population from a research team at the Division of Medical Sciences of the National University of Córdoba (UNC), in which the researchers evaluated the health of the entire population through a door to door survey covering every household, alongside detailed environmental analysis.

    The study was carried out in order to determine if there had been an increase in the prevalence of cancers, reproductive, endocrine and immunological problems, and asthma linked to a greater exposure to pesticides. The objective was to analyze the environmental exposure to pesticides as a risk factor for the above-mentioned diseases and to correlate environmental factors in order to develop a causality hypothesis.

    The same researchers that carried out the asthma study have already peer-review published their results showing that both reproductive disorders and cancer rates in Monte Maíz have increased, which was correlated with the high exposure to glyphosate and other pesticides of the city’s inhabitants.

    Asthma, Monte Maíz and Glyphosate
    Asthma is the most commonly occurring chronic childhood disease in the world. According to the Global Asthma Report 2014 (GAR 2014), 14% of the world’s children and 8.6% of young adults experience asthma. Childhood asthma is particularly prevalent in Latin America, and the International Study on Asthma and Allergic Diseases in Children (ISAAC) has identified environmental contamination as a key factor in the region’s elevated rates of the disease.

    In Argentina, asthma is a serious health problem, causing more than 400 deaths and 15,000 hospitalizations annually. As elsewhere in South America, rates of pesticide application have increased dramatically in Argentina since the mid 1990s. Genetically-modified crops (GMOs) covered an area of 25 million hectares in 2013 and 318,000 tons of pesticides were applied within the country’s borders, including 250,000 tons of glyphosate, in a region where about 12 million people reside. Doctors in the region reported a shift in the morbidity and mortality profile of rural populations. Along with other conditions, wheezing and asthma are now frequently detected.

    This new study revelealed that at least 975,000 kilos of pesticides per year are applied in fields surrounding Monte Maíz, and concentrations found inside the city were several times higher than in the cultivated fields. Glyphosate was detected in 100% of grain dust samples and its concentration was 20 times higher than other pesticides.

    The researchers continued; “Contamination with glyphosate in particular and with pesticides in general is predominant in the town. The burden of residential exposure to glyphosate is 13.5 times greater than the average burden of the national population, and within the city this burden seems to be even greater in certain areas where the grain dust impregnated with glyphosate is carried by the wind.

    Interestingly the researchers discovered particularly high levels of glyphosate in the soil and grain dust found in children’s playgrounds in Monte Maíz, 2792 parts per billion (ppb) and 505 ppb respectively.

    The overall asthma prevalence, in GAR 2014, for people 18-45 years-old is recorded at 8.6%, with Argentina coming in slightly below average. However, in Monte Maíz the asthma prevalence in this age group was more than double the average. In the 13-14 year old age group the prevalence of asthma was 39.9%, compared to the 13.6% that ISAAC detected in this same age group in 3 other Argentinian cities.

    Confounding variables such as smoking, premature birth and direct occupational pesticide exposure were not linked to this comparably high asthma rate in the city the researchers found, after analyzing the data using a range of accepted statistical methods.

    The conclusion of the study’s authors was that “the findings suggest a link between environmental exposure to glyphosate, and to a lesser extent, other pesticides, with high asthma prevalence.” "

    The article: 'Toxic Legacy' — How Glyphosate Destroys Your Health
    by Dr. Joseph Mercola
    PDF; https://media.mercola.com/ImageServe...health-pdf.pdf

    "STORY AT-A-GLANCE
    Glyphosate is a very efficient metal chelator. This, in turn, disrupts your gut microbes because it makes minerals unavailable to the microbes. Your gut microbes need those minerals, as their enzymes depend on them for proper functioning
    There's a strong correlation between the rise in celiac disease over time and the rise in glyphosate usage on wheat, which is the primary culprit in celiac disease
    Glyphosate may worsen the adverse effects of vaccines, in part because it binds very efficiently to aluminum used as an adjuvant in certain vaccines. Live virus vaccines that do not contain aluminum adjuvant have also been found to be contaminated with glyphosate
    Non-GMO crops such as oats, wheat, barley and legumes like chickpeas and lentils tend to be very high in glyphosate because these crops are sprayed with glyphosate right before harvest as a desiccant to speed the drying process
    Glyphosate also disrupts the shikimate pathway, both in plants and microbes, and beneficial microbes are particularly sensitive to glyphosate
    Stephanie Seneff, Ph.D., a senior research scientist at MIT, has published a new book, “Toxic Legacy: How the Weedkiller Glyphosate Is Destroying Our Health and the Environment” — without doubt the best book ever written about glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup and many other toxic herbicides.

    In this book, which has been a labor of love for the past decade, Seneff explains how and why glyphosate poses an existential threat to humanity, and why it’s so important to avoid it if you care about your health and the health of your family.

    “It's been a decade of learning everything I could about glyphosate,” Seneff says. “When I first heard about it I basically dropped everything else I was doing because I was so confident that I had found the answer to the autism epidemic. That was the thing I was looking for. Back in 2012, I heard a two-hour lecture by Don Huber, and it changed my focus entirely.

    I already understood the symptoms of autism, a very complex disease — lots of gut problems and mineral issues — and it all came together with his lecture. Overnight I just started poring over all the papers I could find.

    Shortly after that I found Séralini's paper,1 which had not yet been retracted at that time. It was later republished, the paper by Séralini, a French toxicologist who had shown that very low doses of glyphosate over the lifespan of a rat could cause a lot of damage.

    He pointed out that after three months, everything looked good, so it's a slow kill. This is one thing I emphasize in my book. Glyphosate is subtle, and that's really a huge problem because people don't [make the connection]. We have diabetes, obesity, autism, Alzheimer's. It's a long, long list, all the gut problems.

    The microbes are being very much disturbed by the chronic poisoning with glyphosate, and then the gut becomes a central starting point for many diseases, including neurological diseases and arthritis. So, you see that disruption of the gut, and glyphosate can cause exactly the things that we're seeing.”

    Glyphosate Contamination in Common Products
    Before delving into glyphosate, Seneff spent five years focusing on the potential toxicities of vaccines. She still believes vaccines can play a role in the chronic diseases we’re seeing, including autism.

    However, glyphosate may actually play a more significant role. Seneff believes it contributes to and worsens damage caused by vaccines, in part because it binds very efficiently to aluminum used as an adjuvant in certain vaccines. It likely binds strongly to many other toxic metals as well.

    The theory is that, by being wrapped up with glyphosate molecules, the metals can more easily penetrate various barriers in your body. This is because glyphosate causes these barriers, such as your intestinal barrier and your blood-brain-barrier, to become more porous. And, as leaky gut or leaky brain set in, the toxic metals are shuttled across, along with the glyphosate.

    Interestingly, Anthony Samsel, a public health research scientist, and Zen Honeycutt, founder and director of Moms Across America, have independently found glyphosate contamination in live virus vaccines that do not contain aluminum adjuvant.

    Seneff suspects glyphosate may be a contaminant in many drugs as well, particularly drugs produced by genetically engineering E. coli or yeast. They’ve also found glyphosate in tampons, which may then be absorbed through your uterine lining.

    Seneff also hypothesizes that, since glyphosate is found in many vegetable-based fats, such as canola and soybean oil, studies comparing the health effects of fats may be compromised since they never consider the effects of glyphosate. Interestingly, while not fat-soluble, glyphosate can still enter fats (and is found in the vegetable oils just mentioned).

    Samsel suspects glyphosate acts as a phosphate analog, because it has a phosphonate unit, and fats have phosphates (phospholipids). This is something he’s investigating right now, so eventually, we may learn more about that mechanism.

    Glyphosate and the Rise in Celiac Disease
    In her book, Seneff details the dramatic increase in glyphosate use since its introduction in the mid-‘70s. Estimates suggest every man, woman and child in America now consumes 1 pound of glyphosate a year through their diet, which is an astounding amount. It’s not even enough to buy non-GMO products, as many non-GMO items have been shown to have some of the highest levels of glyphosate.

    There's a strong correlation between the rise in celiac disease over time and the rise in glyphosate usage on wheat … which makes sense, because wheat is the source of celiac disease. ~ Stephanie Seneff, Ph.D.
    Oats, wheat, barley and legumes like chickpeas and lentils tend to be very high in glyphosate because these crops are sprayed with glyphosate right before harvest as a desiccant to speed the drying process.

    “I think that's the reason for the epidemic in celiac disease,” Seneff says. “Samsel and I wrote a paper on that. We showed there's a strong correlation between the rise in celiac disease over time and the rise in glyphosate usage on wheat, specifically on wheat. It matches much better to wheat than it does to the other crops, which makes sense, because wheat is the source of celiac disease.”

    A case study of an American woman who tried to commit suicide by drinking glyphosate reveal some of the chemical’s effects. She developed a paralyzed gut, and this may well be what’s happening to many, on a low-grade scale. In essence, people’s guts are sort of semi-paralyzed by the glyphosate in the diet, which causes small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO).

    Bacteria starts festering in the upper intestine because the peristalsis is not working properly, so food remnants get stuck. Glyphosate has also been shown to accumulate in the brain, and animal studies show it causes neuro excitotoxicity due to excess glutamate in the brain. This, in turn, “is absolutely connected to autism,” Seneff says.

    In her book, Seneff also discusses the importance of sulfur for optimal health, how sulfate deficiency is connected to autism, and how glyphosate can cause sulfate deficiency.

    How Glyphosate Affects Your Gut and Autoimmunity
    Part of what makes glyphosate so toxic has to do with the fact that it’s a very efficient metal chelator. It binds metals and minerals really well. For example, glyphosate is a million times more effective at chelating aluminum than EDTA, a chelating agent used in heavy metal chelation treatment.

    This, in turn, disrupts your gut microbes because it makes minerals unavailable to the microbes. Your gut microbes need minerals, as their enzymes depend on them for proper functioning. Glyphosate also disrupts the shikimate pathway, both in plants and microbes, and beneficial microbes are particularly sensitive to glyphosate.

    When lactobacillus bacteria are killed off in your gut, your ability to digest gluten and casein (milk protein) is impaired, as this bacterium carries several enzymes your body does not have that specialize in breaking down proline, an amino acid found in gluten and casein. This, in turn, can eventually lead to autoimmune problems. Seneff explains:

    “We have all these allergies to gluten and casein these days, all these different food sensitivities, and I think it's because the lactobacillus are being killed off. They can't support the digestion of those proteins anymore. Then the protein sticks around, the peptide sequence, and that's what causes an immune reaction.

    Then you can get an autoimmune attack through molecular mimicry — the antibody mis-recognizes a human protein because it looks like the piece of gluten that they become sensitive to, so they attack a human protein instead.”

    Glyphosate Makes Harmful Fat Even More Hazardous
    Interestingly, glyphosate may also contribute to the harm caused by the omega-6 fat linoleic acid (LA). LA is metabolized into arachidonic acid, which is metabolized into an endogenous cannabinoid that eases pain. The enzyme that accomplishes this conversion is cytochrome P450 enzyme, which is disrupted by glyphosate.

    Seneff suspects arachidonic acid is getting redirected through enzymes that convert arachidonic acid into extremely immunogenic products instead, such as leukotrienes, which act as signaling molecules that turn on an inflammatory response. A generic term for these signaling molecules is prostaglandins. She explains:

    “Leukotrienes are rightfully blamed for causing all the chronic pain we're seeing — rheumatoid arthritis, joint and bone pain, and even, probably, problems with the brain, maybe headaches.

    All the different kinds of pain we're experiencing that are connected to inflammation could be a consequence of cytochrome P450 enzymes blocking the ability to convert arachidonic acid into the endogenous cannaboid. Instead, it gets redirected towards these signaling molecules that cause all this damage.”

    On top of that, LA, when oxidized, turns into highly toxic free radicals such as 4HNE, which cause direct oxidative stress damage to cell membranes, mitochondria, stem cells and DNA. In your mitochondria, a feedback loop then occurs that causes the shutdown of your energy metabolism system, resulting in an increase in adipose tissue. Translation: Excessive LA causes accumulation of belly fat.

    Glyphosate Is a Biological Toxin
    Its effect on the shikimate pathway is a key mechanism by which glyphosate causes biological harm in humans. The human body does not have this pathway — a fact used by Monsanto to argue for glyphosate’s safety. But the microbes in your body do have it. Research has shown over half the microbes, on average, in your gut have the shikimate pathway and can therefore be decimated by glyphosate.

    These include lactobacillus and bifidobacteria, which use the shikimate pathway to produce the aromatic amino acids tryptophan, tyrosine and phenylalanine, crucial coding amino acids that go into all the proteins of your body. They're absolutely essential for protein assembly, and your body must rely on your diet and gut microbes to produce adequate amounts of these amino acids, as your body cannot produce them any other way.

    When your gut microbes are harmed, it can result in a deficiency of tryptophan, tyrosine and phenylalanine. These amino acids are also precursors to many other important biologically active molecules. For example, tryptophan is a precursor to melatonin and serotonin. Tyrosine is a precursor to thyroid hormone, dopamine and adrenaline.

    “These are all really, really important hormones that control brain behavior and regulate behavior and mood,” Seneff says. “Serotonin deficiency is connected to depression, and we have an epidemic in depression. So, I think there's a direct path there. Also, some of the B vitamins come out of the shikimate pathway, including thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2) and niacin (B3) …

    You need thiamine for augmenting your immune system. If you don't have a lot of thiamine, you're not going to be able to generate a healthy immune response. That's why it's a part of septic protocols. If you're wrecking it with glyphosate exposure that's disrupting the shikimate pathway in your gut microflora, you've got a huge problem.”

    Glycine Can Help Counteract Adverse Effects of Glyphosate
    One simple remedy that can help lower your glyphosate burden is to take a glycine supplement. As explained by Seneff, the way glyphosate disrupts the shikimate pathway is by affecting an enzyme called EPSB synthase. That enzyme bonds to a molecule called phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP). The “phospho” in that name stands for phosphate.

    At the place where SPSB synthase binds to PEP, there's a glycine molecule. It's a highly-conserved glycine in the enzyme. If that glycine is swapped out for alanine, a very similar amino acid, the SPSB synthase enzyme becomes completely insensitive to glyphosate.

    “So, it's black and white — either there's a glycine there, in which case it's incredibly susceptible to glyphosate, or there's alanine, in which case it's completely insensitive,” Seneff says.

    Incidentally, this is how agricultural scientists create glyphosate-resistant GMO crops. They turn the glycine molecule into alanine, thereby rendering the plant impervious to glyphosate.

    When glyphosate enters your system, it can take the place of the glycine molecule. While similar, (the “gly” in glyphosate stands for glycine) it’s not identical and does not work the same way as glycine. Hence, this replacement causes all sorts of trouble.

    By taking a glycine supplement, you can counteract this chain of events by making sure there’s enough glycine present to fill up those glycine slots. As noted by Seneff, “If there's lots of glycine, you're going to be much less likely to pick up glyphosate.” She continues:

    “I had thought about glyphosate being glycine, and knowing that it's a glycine analog and that it was affecting places where glycine binds. Glycine acts as a neural transmitter. Glyphosate messes that up. I thought, ‘I wonder if it can get into the protein in place of glycine?’

    My book actually centers on this idea that glyphosate substitutes for glycine in certain proteins. There's a specific algorithm for where it would happen, and you can show that those proteins are suppressed by glyphosate experimentally.”

    Importantly, glyphosate suppresses glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), a very important enzyme in red blood cells that maintains NADPH in its reduced form. If you have reduced levels of NADPH, you’re at increased risk for chronic disease, as your ability to recharge antioxidants is impaired. This is yet another mechanism by which glyphosate contributes to any number of disease states.

    Glyphosate’s Impact on Collagen

    Yet another protein that has a high glycine content is collagen, the primary protein for your connective tissue. It constitutes about one-quarter of your body’s proteins. Because of the presence of glycine, glyphosate has the ability to impair collagen as well.

    “I feel confident that glyphosate is messing up collagen,” Seneff says. “Collagen has a beautiful triple helix structure, which gives it really special properties of tensile strength and flexibility to hold water. Collagen has long, long sequences called GXY, GXY, GXY, where every third amino acid is a glycine. Those glycines hook together to form that triple helix.

    There are people who have mutations in those glycines that cause joint and bone diseases, and I think glyphosate is causing that. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is associated with glycine mutations in collagen, and there's an increase in the prevalence of that syndrome recently.

    Of course, you have many more people getting hip replacement surgery, and people have back issues, back pain and shoulder surgery, knee and foot problems. All these different problems with the joints, I suspect, are being caused by misfolded collagen because of glyphosate messing it up.”

    Glyphosate’s Impact on Your Vascular System
    Another mechanism of action involves the suppression of nitric oxide (NO), primarily through the suppression of endothelial nitric oxide (eNOS), which is one of three ways your body makes NO. eNOS is a close relative to cytochrome 450 enzymes which, as mentioned, are decimated by glyphosate.

    “The NO works together with sulfur dioxide to control the viscosity of your blood,” Seneff explains. “NO turns into nitrate, which is a kosmotrope. And sulfur dioxide turns into sulfate, which is a chaotrope … Chaotropes and kosmotropes are very interesting molecules that control the viscosity of blood. It's all about water structuring, stuff that Gerald Pollack talks about.

    Kosmotropes make the water structure more like gel and the chaotropes make it more like fluid, liquid. Those two work against each other to maintain the correct viscosity of the blood while other things are going on. If you put a bunch of lipid particles into the blood, it's going to get more viscous, so you've got to make it less-viscous by adding NO.

    So, there's a back and forth between NO and sulfur dioxide that's regulated by eNOS. This is a theory that I have, and it makes a lot of sense. I have continued to gather evidence that supports it.

    If glyphosate messes up eNOS, then it messes up the blood's ability to maintain its proper viscosity, which means your blood could be too fluid. You could end up with hemorrhaging. It could be too thick, it can't circulate, so you end up with blood clots.”

    More Information
    One piece of good news is that Mexico is banning glyphosate and will phase it out entirely by 2024. There are fears Mexico may also start banning U.S. imports found to be contaminated with glyphosate, which would actually work in everyone’s favor by shining a bright light on the matter.

    While the ultimate answer is to ban the use of glyphosate worldwide, in the meantime, a key strategy to protect your own health is to buy certified organic or biodynamic food. Glyphosate is not permitted in organic agriculture, and even if contamination occurs, the levels are going to be far lower than that of conventionally-grown foods.

    Seneff also recommends eating a high-sulfur diet, as sulfur is crucial for the health of your metabolism and immune system. “Sulfur deficiency, I think, is a driver behind some of our health problems,” she says.

    Also consider taking a glycine supplement to counteract and push out any glyphosate you might be exposed to. “Glycine is not very expensive and it is very safe, so it's an easy thing to take as a supplement, which I think could definitely help,” Seneff says.

    Other health-promoting habits include eating plenty of fermented foods and getting optimal amounts of vitamin D and K2. As noted by Seneff, your vitamin D conversion is also adversely affected by glyphosate.

    As is typically the case when talking to Seneff, as she is phenomenally well-informed, we cover far more details in this interview than I’ve summarized here — including environmental effects and countermeasures to speed the cleanup of soil and water — so I encourage you to listen to the interview in its entirety.

    Of course, to learn more about glyphosate, be sure to pick up a copy of “Toxic Legacy.” It’s by far the best book to date on this pernicious toxin that is robbing people everywhere of their health and quality of life."

    Regulators Relied on Flawed Studies — Funded by Chemical Industry — to Assess Safety of Glyphosate Herbicide

    "Regulators Relied on Flawed Studies — Funded by Chemical Industry — to Assess Safety of Glyphosate Herbicide
    A 187-page report by researchers at the Institute of Cancer Research Vienna, Austria said their review of 53 safety studies submitted to regulators by large chemical companies showed most lack the types of tests most able to detect cancer risks.

    A new analysis of more than 50 previously secret, corporate-backed scientific studies is raising troubling questions about a history of regulatory reliance on such research in assessing the safety of the widely used weedkilling chemical known as glyphosate, the key ingredient in the popular Roundup herbicide.

    In a 187-page report released late last week, researchers from the Institute of Cancer Research at the Medical University of Vienna in Austria said a thorough review of 53 safety studies submitted to regulators by large chemical companies showed that most do not comply with modern international standards for scientific rigor, and lack the types of tests most able to detect cancer risks.

    “The quality of these studies, not of all, but of many of these studies is very poor. The health authorities … accepted some of these very poor studies as informative and acceptable, which is not justified from a scientific point of view,” Siegfried Knasmueller, the lead author of the analysis told the Guardian.

    Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide in the world, and is particularly popular with farmers growing common food crops. But there is heated debate in many countries about whether or not glyphosate herbicides should continue to be used due to concerns they may cause cancer.The corporate studies at issue focus on the genotoxic properties of glyphosate — whether or not it causes DNA damage — and they support corporate assurances that the chemical is safe when used as directed and does not cause cancer. They were commissioned and/or conducted by the former Monsanto Co, which is now a part of Bayer AG, as well as Syngenta, Dow, and others involved in making and/or selling glyphosate.

    Though some of the studies date back decades, they have been part of recent submissions to regulators in Europe and the U.S., where regulators have agreed with the companies in concluding there is no cancer risk with glyphosate. European officials reaffirmed that view in an 11,000-page report issued last month.

    The new analysis challenges those safety assurances, finding that much of the methodology used in the industry studies is outdated and not in keeping with international quality standards.

    Of the 53 studies submitted to regulators by the companies, only two were acceptable, according to current internationally recognized scientific standards, said Knasmueller.

    Particularly problematic, he said, was the focus on testing for chromosome damage in early stages in red blood cells of the bone marrow in laboratory mice and rats. These tests routinely detect only 50-60% of carcinogens, according to Knasmueller. “So many carcinogens are not detected with this method,” he said.A type of test known as “comet assay” has a much higher value for identifying carcinogens because it can quantify and detect DNA damage in individual cells in a variety of organs, and is commonly used for evaluating genotoxicity, according to Knasmueller. But no comet assay tests were included, according to the analysis.

    “I cannot understand why the health authorities did not ask for such data,” said Knasmueller, who is an expert in genetic toxicology and along with his work at the cancer institute is editor-in-chief of two prominent scientific journals, including Mutation Research — Genetic Toxicology and Environmental Mutagenesis.

    Knasmueller was asked to review the studies by the SumOfUs non-profit advocacy group, though he said he was not paid for the work. A co-author on the analysis and fellow cancer institute scientist, Armen Nersesyan, was paid roughly €3,500 ($4,146), however.

    If Knasmueller’s observations are accurate, the new finding of flaws in industry studies means regulatory assurances about glyphosate safety in Europe and the U.S. have been based, at least in part, on shoddy science.

    Linda Birnbaum, former director of the U.S. National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences, said there has been an ongoing problem that is not unique to glyphosate with regulators taking industry studies “at industry’s word,” while ignoring red flags raised in non-industry-funded research.

    The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) said it could not comment on the analysis but said all interested parties will have the opportunity to submit comments on the draft assessment of glyphosate. The agency did not answer a question about its level of confidence in the validity of industry studies.

    The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) confirmed that no comet assay tests are required but said the agency “strives to use high-quality studies” and “a broad set of data” when evaluating pesticides. As well, the EPA “independently evaluates required studies for scientific acceptability” that meet agency and international guidelines, an EPA spokeswoman said.

    The analysis comes at a critical time as Bayer and a contingent of companies calling themselves the Glyphosate Renewal Group (GRG) are again asking European regulators to reauthorize glyphosate ahead of the expiration of approval next year, and as the industry battles to preserve glyphosate use globally.

    Bans or reductions in use have been called for in several countries, including Mexico, where a glyphosate ban is to take effect in 2024, and in France, where the government last year announced financial incentives for farmers who stopped using the chemical. In the U.S., New York City recently banned glyphosate use on city property and other cities have implemented reductions or bans.The GRG did not respond to a request for comment. But Bayer, a leading member of the GRG, said the package of studies submitted to regulators is “one of the most extensive scientific dossiers ever compiled for a pesticide active ingredient.”

    Bayer said for the current registration review, it was “required” to submit the older genotoxicity studies along with new corporate genotoxicity studies. As well, the companies submitted to regulators “a vast review of thousands of published scientific publications regarding glyphosate,” said a Bayer spokesman.

    Concerns about glyphosate have mounted since 2015 when the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), part of the World Health Organization, classified glyphosate as a probable human carcinogen based on scientific studies conducted by independent researchers. Unlike regulators, IARC relied primarily on a large body of published and peer-reviewed research and not industry studies in its classification.

    The IARC classification led a group of European lawmakers in 2017 to demand access to industry studies that had been given to regulators but withheld from public scrutiny. Monsanto’s are stamped as “company confidential.”

    A 2019 court decision forced EFSA to provide public access, however, clearing the way for scrutiny such as the Knasmueller analysis.

    It is not clear if some or all of the 53 studies examined in the analysis are part of the package the GRG recently submitted to European authorities.

    Glyphosate was only narrowly given a five-year renewal in Europe in December 2017 after the European parliament voted against renewal.

    Several questionable interactions between Monsanto and regulators have come to light in recent years, including the fact that EFSA dismissed a study linking the company’s weedkiller to cancer after consultation with a U.S. EPA official linked to Monsanto. Documents also demonstrated that an EU report declaring glyphosate safe was in part copied and pasted from a Monsanto study.

    And when the EPA consulted with a scientific advisory panel assembled in Washington D.C. in December 2016, panel members complained that EPA officials were not following proper scientific guidelines for how to assess research about glyphosate health impacts.

    “This puts once more a finger on a sore spot: that national regulators do not seem to pay close scrutiny when looking at the quality of industry’s studies,” said Nina Holland, researcher at the watchdog group Corporate Europe Observatory. “This is shocking as it is their job to protect people’s health and the environment, not to serve the interests of the pesticide industry.”

    "It's hard to find good news these days, but I am delighted to let you know that Bayer has decided to stop selling a glyphosate-based formulation of Roundup in the US residential market by 2023!

    See:
    "Bayer to Stop Residential Sales of Roundup by 2023"

    Now if we can just get them to stop selling it to the farmers ....

    On another note, I am pleased that my book, Toxic Legacy, was among "Ten Books about Food and Farming to Read This Summer." The other books they recommend will provide excellent guidance on how to grow food organically and sustainably.

    "10 Books about Food and Farming to Read This Summer"

    Court Rules Against Bayer in Roundup Cancer Trial Appeal, Cites Monsanto’s ‘Willful’ Disregard for Safety
    08/10/21
    By Carey Gillam
    https://childrenshealthdefense.org/d...f-a8ea58bd5e41

    "The appeals court said Monsanto had not shown that federal law preempted claims made by plaintiffs Alva and Alberta Pilliod, who in 2019 were awarded a combined $87 million after lawyers argued years of using Roundup weedkiller caused them both to develop non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

    Monsanto owner Bayer AG has lost another appeals court decision in the sweeping U.S. Roundup litigation, continuing to struggle to find a way out from under the crush of tens of thousands of claims alleging that Monsanto’s glyphosate-based herbicides cause cancer.

    In a decision handed down on Monday, the 1st Appellate District in the Court of Appeal for California rejected Monsanto’s bid to overturn the trial loss in a case brought by husband-and-wife plaintiffs, Alva and Alberta Pilliod.

    “We find that substantial evidence supports the jury’s verdicts,” the court stated. “Monsanto’s conduct evidenced reckless disregard of the health and safety of the multitude of unsuspecting consumers it kept in the dark. This was not an isolated incident; Monsanto’s conduct involved repeated actions over a period of many years motivated by the desire for sales and profit.”

    The court specifically rejected the argument that federal law preempts such claims, an argument Bayer has told investors offers a potential path out of the litigation. Bayer has said it hopes it can get the U.S. Supreme Court to agree with its preemption argument.

    In May 2019 a jury awarded the Pilliods more than $2 billion in punitive and compensatory damages after lawyers for the couple argued they both developed non-Hodgkin lymphoma caused by their many years of using Roundup products.

    The trial judge lowered the combined award to $87 million.

    In appealing the loss, Monsanto argued not only that the Pilliod claims were preempted by federal law, but also that the jury’s causation findings were flawed, the trial court should not have admitted certain evidence, and that “the verdict is the product of attorney misconduct.” Monsanto also wanted the damage awards further slashed.

    Court slams company

    In the appeals court decision, the court left the award unchanged, and said that Monsanto had not shown that federal law did preempt such claims as those made by the Pilliods. The court also said there was substantial evidence that Monsanto acted with a “willful and conscious disregard for the safety of others,” supporting the awarding of punitive damages.

    The evidence showed that Monsanto “failed to conduct adequate studies on glyphosate and Roundup, thus impeding discouraging or distorting scientific inquiry concerning glyphosate and Roundup,” the court said.

    The court also chastised Monsanto for not accurately presenting “all of the record evidence” in making its appeal: “But rather than fairly stating all the relevant evidence, Monsanto has made a lopsided presentation that relies primarily on the evidence in its favor. This type of presentation may work for a jury, but it will not work for the Court of Appeal.”

    The court added: “The trial described in Monsanto’s opening brief bears little resemblance to the trial reflected in the record.”

    “Summed up, the evidence shows Monsanto’s intransigent unwillingness to inform the public about the carcinogenic dangers of a product it made abundantly available at hardware stores and garden shops across the country,” the court said.

    Another trial underway now

    The Pilliod trial was the third against Monsanto. In the first trial, a unanimous jury awarded plaintiff Dewayne Johnson $289 million; the plaintiff in the second trial was awarded $80 million.

    The fourth trial began last week. A jury of seven men and five women on Monday were hearing testimony in the case of Donnetta Stephens v. Monsanto in the Superior Court of San Bernardino County in California.

    Retired U.S. government scientist Christopher Portier, who has been an expert witness for the plaintiffs in prior Roundup trials, testified at length on Monday, reiterating previous testimony that there is clear scientific evidence showing glyphosate and glyphosate-based formulations such as Roundup can cause cancer.

    Bayer, which bought Monsanto in 2018, has settled several other cases that were scheduled to go to trial over the last two years. And in 2020, the company said it would pay roughly $11 billion to settle about 100,0000 existing Roundup cancer claims. Late last month, Bayer said it would set aside another $4.5 billion toward Roundup litigation liability.

    Bayer also announced it would stop selling Roundup, and other herbicides made with the active ingredient glyphosate, to U.S. consumers by 2023. But the company continues to sell the products for use by farmers and commercial applicators.

    Scientist testifies in Roundup trial; judge reverses ruling that had helped Monsanto

    A former U.S. government scientist testifying in the fourth Roundup cancer trial to be held in the United States told a California jury this week that multiple research studies conducted over many years show an “almost certain” connection between Monsanto glyphosate-based herbicides and cancer.

    Christopher Portier, who is testifying as expert witness on behalf of plaintiff Donnetta Stephens in her lawsuit against Monsanto, appeared in person in the courtroom earlier in the week but answered questions from Monsanto’s lawyer via Zoom on Thursday due to travel commitments.

    Portier was also an expert witness for the plaintiffs in the three prior Roundup trials. In each of the prior trials, juries agreed that Monsanto’s glyphosate herbicides caused the plaintiffs to develop a type of cancer called non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).

    In hours of testimony that stretched over several days, Portier told jury members about studies done on human cell lines as well as studies conducted on laboratory animals and studies of exposure and disease incidence in humans. The evidence of a cancer connection was strongest in the animal studies, and was supported by the additional research, he said.

    “I am certain that glyphosate can cause tumors in animals,” including malignant lymphomas in mice, Portier testified. When asked his opinion on the question of whether or not real-world Roundup exposure can cause NHL in people, Portier said: “I believe that it does, I think the strength of that belief is almost certain but not quite.”

    Regular Roundup user

    Lawyers for Stephens say that she was a regular user of Roundup herbicide for more than 30 years and it was that extended exposure to the glyphosate-based products made popular by Monsanto that caused her NHL.

    Stephens was diagnosed in 2017 and has suffered from numerous health complications amid multiple rounds of chemotherapy since then. Because of her poor health, a judge in December granted Stephens a trial “preference,” meaning her case was expedited, after her lawyers informed the court that Stephens is “in a perpetual state of pain,” and losing cognition and memory.

    She is one of tens of thousands of plaintiffs who filed U.S. lawsuits against Monsanto after the World Health Organization’s cancer experts classified glyphosate – the active ingredient in Monsanto’s herbicides – as a probable human carcinogen with an association to non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

    Judge Gilbert Ochoa of the Superior Court of San Bernardino County in California is overseeing the proceedings.

    Judge reverses order on preemption

    In a move that could prove important to the outcome of the case, Judge Ochoa this week reversed his own pretrial ruling related to Monsanto’s argument that federal law preempts the “failure to warn” claims that Stephens’ lawyers want to present to the jury.

    The judge had agreed with Monsanto that federal law regarding pesticide regulation and labeling preempts failure-to-warn claims under state law, and he had limited the ability of Stephens’ lawyers to pursue such claims.

    But the judge changed his position after the 1st Appellate District in the Court of Appeal for California issued a ruling on Monday denying Monsanto’s preemption argument in a separate case.

    The appeals court issued scathing criticism of Monsanto, writing that “substantial evidence supports the jury’s verdicts” and that “Monsanto’s conduct evidenced reckless disregard of the health and safety of the multitude of unsuspecting consumers it kept in the dark.”

    The day after the appeals court ruling, Monsanto noted in a brief filed with Judge Ochoa that it recognized the appellate court decision was “binding” on the San Bernardino court, but said the appeals court “committed legal error”.

    Monsanto owner Bayer AG has said publicly it sees its best hope of escaping ongoing litigation in persuading the U.S. Supreme Court to review and overturn one of the trial losses on the preemption issue.

    Another trial sought in St. Louis

    After losing the first three trials, Bayer, which bought Monsanto in 2018, has settled other cases that had been scheduled to go to trial. And in 2020, the company said it would pay roughly $11 billion to settle about 100,000 existing Roundup cancer claims. Late last month, Bayer said it would set aside another $4.5 billion toward Roundup litigation liability.

    Bayer also announced it would stop selling Roundup, and other herbicides made with the active ingredient glyphosate, to U.S. consumers by 2023. But the company continues to sell the products for use by farmers and commercial applicators.

    But several law firms continue to seek to bring cases to trial. In late July, lawyers for a group of 13 plaintiffs filed a motion with the St. Louis County Circuit Court seeking a trial date. That case is 19SL-CC04115, Kyle Chaplick et al v Monsanto."

    Federal Court Rejects Glyphosate Registration Decision Because EPA Ignored Cancer Risks, Endangered Species Risks
    Center for Food Safety
    JUNE 17, 2022
    https://www.centerforfoodsafety.org/...5-824f7034edff

    "SAN FRANCISCO—Today, in a historic victory for farmworkers and the environment, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit sided with Center for Food Safety (CFS) and its represented farmworker and conservation clients by overturning the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) decision that the toxic pesticide glyphosate is safe for humans and imperiled wildlife. Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Monsanto-Bayer's flagship Roundup weedkiller, the most widely used pesticide in the world.

    The 54-page opinion held the Trump administration's 2020 interim registration of glyphosate to be unlawful because "EPA did not adequately consider whether glyphosate causes cancer and shirked its duties under the Endangered Species Act (ESA)." Represented by Center for Food Safety, the petitioners in the lawsuit included the Rural Coalition, Farmworker Association of Florida, Organización en California de Lideres Campesinas, and Beyond Pesticides. A consolidated case is led by Natural Resources Defense Council and includes Pesticide Action Network.

    "Today's decision gives voice to those who suffer from glyphosate's cancer, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma," said Amy van Saun, senior attorney with Center for Food Safety and lead counsel in the case. "EPA's 'no cancer' risk conclusion did not stand up to scrutiny. Today is a major victory for farmworkers and others exposed to glyphosate. Imperiled wildlife also won today, as the court agreed that EPA needed to ensure the safety of endangered species before greenlighting glyphosate."

    "We welcome and applaud the court on this significant decision," said Jeannie Economos, Pesticide Safety and Environmental Health Project Coordinator at the Farmworker Association of Florida, a plaintiff in the case. "While it comes too late for many farmworkers and landscapers who suffer after glyphosate exposure, we are grateful for the court's ruling, and hope that now EPA will act quickly to protect future workers from illness and disease resulting from this toxic pesticide."

    As to its cancer conclusion, the court concluded that EPA flouted its own Cancer Guidelines and ignored the criticisms of its own experts. EPA's "not likely to cause cancer" conclusion was inconsistent with the evidence before it, in the form of both epidemiological studies (real-world cancer cases) and lab animal studies. In addition to its lack of conclusion as to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma risk (the cancer most tied to glyphosate), the court also concluded that EPA's general "no cancer" decision was divorced from its own Guidelines and experts when EPA selectively discounted evidence that glyphosate causes tumors in animals. At various points the Court criticized EPA's "disregard of tumor results;" its use of "bare assertions" that "fail[] to account coherently for the evidence;" making conclusions that do not "withstand[] scrutiny under the agency's own framework," and "fail[ing] to abide by" its cancer guidelines. In sum the court noted EPA's "inconsistent reasoning" made its decision on cancer "arbitrary," and struck it down.

    "We are grateful that the court decided in our favor," said John Zippert, chairperson of the Rural Coalition, a plaintiff in the case. "We need to halt glyphosate's devastating impact on the farmworkers and farmers who suffer the deepest consequences of exposure. This decision will hopefully hasten the transition to farming and gardening methods and practices that increase resilience, protecting our children, our planet, and all those who feed us."

    "EPA's failure to act on the science, as detailed in the litigation, has real-world adverse health consequences for farmworkers, the public, and ecosystems," said Jay Feldman, executive director of Beyond Pesticides, a plaintiff in the case. "Because of this lawsuit, the agency's obstruction of the regulatory process will not be allowed to stand, and EPA should start shifting food production to available alternative non- and less-toxic practices and materials that meet its statutory duty."

    The court went on to conclude that EPA's decision also violated the Endangered Species Act. As the court noted, EPA itself elsewhere had admitted that "glyphosate 'may affect' all listed species experiencing glyphosate exposure—that is 1,795 endangered or threatened species" yet had unlawfully ignored the ESA for this decision.

    As to remedy, the court struck down, or vacated the human health assessment. The court also required that EPA redo and/or finish all remaining glyphosate determinations by an October 2022 deadline, or within four months. This includes a redone ecological toxicity assessment, a redone costs analysis of impacts to farmers from pesticide harms, as well as all Endangered Species analysis and mitigation.

    Background

    In an "interim registration review" decision for glyphosate issued in January 2020, EPA finalized its human health and ecological risk assessments and adopted "mitigation measures" in the form of label changes. EPA unlawfully concluded there is no cancer risk from glyphosate, despite major gaps in its review, including coming to "no conclusion" as to non-Hodgkin lymphoma, the most well-known cancer linked to glyphosate. EPA also failed to do any assessment of how much glyphosate gets into a user's bloodstream after skin contact, a major route of occupational exposure.

    Critically, EPA failed to test any of the glyphosate product formulations, which contain ingredients beyond just the active ingredient (glyphosate) and can increase the harmful effects of pesticide exposure. Finally, because EPA continued to the use of glyphosate with minor, unsubstantiated label changes, it needed to consider the impacts to imperiled species and do more to protect them from glyphosate.

    CFS and allies originally filed the lawsuit in 2020, incorporating volumes of evidence showing how EPA ignored glyphosate's health risks, including cancer risks, to farmworkers and farmers exposed during spraying. Petitioners also challenged EPA's decision based on risks to the environment and imperiled species, such as the Monarch butterfly.

    In response to CFS and allies' lawsuit, in May 2021 EPA effectively admitted grave errors in its interim registration and asked the court for permission to re-do the agency's faulty ecological, cost-benefit, and Endangered Species Act assessments. However, the agency stated that Roundup should nonetheless stay on the market in the interim—without any deadline for a new decision.

    In July 2021, Bayer announced it will end the sales of its glyphosate-based herbicides (including Roundup) in the U.S. residential lawn and garden market in 2023 in order to "manage litigation risk and not because of any safety concerns." In California, jury trials continue to be held. Last year, courts affirmed a judgment against Monsanto for cancer from Roundup in Hardeman v. Monsanto—one of the first in a series of high-profile consumer lawsuits filed against Monsanto-Bayer—and in the third appeal of such a claim in Pilliod v. Monsanto.

    While EPA has repeatedly declared that glyphosate does not cause cancer, the world's foremost cancer authorities with the World Health Organization declared glyphosate to be 'probably carcinogenic to humans' in 2015. And as the record in the case showed, EPA's own Office of Research and Development concluded that glyphosate is either a likely carcinogen or at least there is evidence suggesting that it causes cancer, particularly increases the risk of NHL."

    Good News for Us, Bad News for Bayer and Glyphosate
    POSTED BY TODD HONEYCUTT 62GS
    JUNE 28, 2022
    https://www.momsacrossamerica.com/ba...source=yesmaam

    (Hyperlinks in the article not embedded here)

    "Standing up for Families
    When people told us we didn’t have a chance against Monsanto and the agriculture industry, we didn’t listen. We mothers knew that protecting our children and families surpassed any fear, desire for comfort, or success. We had to try. We had to make an effort. Not standing up for our families meant foregoing our integrity. That was not an option.

    We were not the only ones that persisted. Organizations like the Center for Food Safety, Beyond Pesticides, Organic Consumers Association, and many others have been rallying, suing, and petitioning to protect the food supply for far longer. So today, we celebrate and acknowledge all of the advocates, lawyers, nonprofit staff, groups, and citizens who are creating a future where Monsanto et al. are obsolete, where healthy, non-toxic, whole foods are plentiful and affordable for all. We still have a long way to go, but today, we celebrate three big wins over the past three weeks.

    On May 30, it bears repeating that the USDA finally took action after years of pressure from organic consumer groups and food security advocates and allocated over 3 billion dollars to shore up the food supply, increase access to organic food, produce and even support a health care provider’s ability to prescribe produce by prescription. This means our government recognizes the need for FOOD as medicine. And by food, we do not mean processed packages of food-like products fortified with vitamins, but whole organic produce, vegetables, and fruit.

    This surprising turn of events is something that many have been working for, but most did not expect would come to fruition. While we remain skeptical that the funding will be dispersed fairly and create tangible results, we intend to keep an eye on the situation, report on the outcomes, and continue to educate our policymakers on the urgency of access to healthy, non-toxic food.

    On June 17, 2022, the District 9 of the Supreme Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the Center for Food Safety and allies, finding that the EPA had “shirked its duty” in giving glyphosate interim approval after deeming glyphosate NOT a carcinogen and ignoring the impact of glyphosate on endangered species. This ruling means that the EPA must go back and review those studies, and they must decide by Oct 1, 2022. The EPA’s policy clearly states The EPA may not issue a registration for a pesticide that causes “unreasonable adverse effects on the environment.” Therefore, according to their policies and previous findings that glyphosate harms 93% of endangered species and 97% of their habitats, they cannot reapprove glyphosate. And if this comes to pass, millions around the world will be celebrating. We ask you to envision that outcome, pray for it, meditate on it and tell your Representatives, the EPA, and US Fish and Wildlife Services that that is what MUST happen.

    On June 21, 2022, the Supreme Court rejected Bayer/Monsanto’s appeal to Hardeman’s 25 million dollar award (reduced from 80 millionbecause glyphosate did not have to be labeled as carcinogenic and for the right to continue to sell Roundup without a cancer warning because the EPA previously approved the label without a cancer warning. In other words, Bayer’s lawyer argued that they should not have to take responsibility for telling the truth on their labels because the EPA said their label was okay the way it was. It’s like a six-year-old pointing to his eight-year-old brother (with a permanent marker in his hand and his baby brother with scribblings on his face) and saying, “But he said it was okay!” Seriously. Grow up.

    On June 27, 2022 the courts also rejected Bayer's appeal and upheld an $87 million verdict for the Pilliod v Monsanto trial, for a California couple who used Roundup and both contracted cancer.

    The courts have slammed the hammer on the table to hold this behemoth of a poison chemical company accountable. We applaud the courage of the courts to acknowledge the science. It’s time for the license of glyphosate to be denied. It’s time for it to be removed from the shelves. It’s time for our government to invest in the health of the American people instead of the profits of the poison makers.

    Take action now, insist that our policymakers protect life in America and on the planet. Be the one to speak up for everyone.

    I just got this email from a close friend who sells health products:

    "What a customer in Kentucky shared with me is more horrifying than even the CV jabs. He says they planted a crop using Roundup Ready Seed. The crop was fed to milk cows. He was there when they were testing the milk in three different vats and one of the vats tested really high for glyphosate. It was THAT vat that was from the cows that were fed the crop from the Roundup Ready Seeds. No Roundup was sprayed on this crop. So now there is the ability of the seed itself to replicate glyphosate - just like spike protein in CV jabs!

    Roundup Litigation at Turning Point as Bayer Rejects “Global Resolution Plan”
    September 1, 2022
    UnSpun
    by Carey Gillam
    https://www.organicconsumers.org/new...=OB+772+Sunday

    "Fresh off a fifth-in-a-row trial victory, Monsanto owner Bayer AG is rejecting a proposed “global resolution plan” put forward by plaintiffs’ lawyers as a last chance to try to settle tens of thousands of pending Roundup cancer claims before a wave of new trials get underway, newly filed court documents show.

    The company stance comes at a pivotal point in the ongoing nationwide litigation involving plaintiffs who allege they developed non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) from exposure to Monsanto’s glyphosate-based weed killers, such as Roundup.

    The group of law firms leading the cases in what is called “multidistrict litigation (MDL)” asked US District Court Judge Vince Chhabria to approve a plan that would set a 60-day window in which both sides would try to forge a final global settlement that would cover the claims of roughly 30,000 plaintiffs.

    If no settlement can be reached, the plaintiffs’ firms want the judge to start the process of dissolving the MDL and clearing waves of cases to go to trial in the states where they originated."

    MEET JEFFREY SMITH

    https://responsibletechnology.org/je...ith-biography/




    Jeffrey Smith delivers transformational communication on a global scale. A bestselling author, award-winning filmmaker, celebrated public speaker, and penetrating interviewer, his work has influenced the behavior and health of millions of people worldwide.

    Jeffrey was the architect of a successful plan to achieve the tipping point of consumer rejection of genetically engineered foods. The majority of Americans now understand that GMOs are unsafe, and the food industry is responding by removing them.
    His global bestseller, Seeds of Deception, ignited the anti-GMO movement by exposing industry and government lies about GMO safety. In the book Genetic Roulette, he organized the science behind GMO health risks in a unique, easy-to-digest format, prompting one reviewer to write, “Smith has to be the best science communicator alive today.”

    Over 25 years, Jeffrey gave 1,000 lectures and 1,000 interviews in 45 countries, trained 1,500 speakers, organized over 10,000 grassroots activists, and appeared in top news outlets including The New York Times, The Washington Post, Time Magazine, The Doctors, and The Dr. Oz Show. He introduced the science on GMOs to medical communities worldwide, inspiring thousands of practitioners to prescribe non-GMO and organic diets. Many of them recommend his most recent documentary, Secret Ingredients, (co-directed with Amy Hart) which features emotional stories of families who recover from serious diseases after switching to organic food. The film links GMOs and Roundup herbicide to cancer, infertility, autism, Alzheimer’s, allergies, skin conditions, digestive disorders, and other health conditions, and motivates viewers to increase their commitment to organic.

    Jeffrey is the founding executive director of the Institute for Responsible Technology and the founder of the Protect Nature Now movement to safeguard the global microbiome. He is the creator of the Healing from GMOs and Roundup summit, the 90 Day Lifestyle Upgrade, GMO Speaker Training, and A Magnificent New Normal. Jeffrey is sought after as an inspirational keynote speaker and hosts the Live Healthy Be Well podcast.

    His numerous awards include “Person of the Year” (Masters of Health Magazine) and “Environmental Medicine Award” (American Academy of Environmental Medicine). His film Genetic Roulette was awarded Movie of the Year (Solari Report), and Transformational Film of the Year (AwareGuide).

    A meditator since 1975, Jeffrey values the growth of individual and collective consciousness as fundamental to uplifting the human condition. He encourages people to step into their inner superhero, and likes to say: “THINK HUGE…Thinking ‘big’ is so last century.”
