If you want to really know what Glyphosate, the main ingredient in Round up will do to your body and the bodies of children, read the research by leading authority Dr Stephanie Seneff PhD from MIT. She and other leading scientists/ researchers are discovering astounding levels of harm that Glyphosate does to the human body. Read this article to see more about what they have discovered:

To summarize, they are finding highly plausible explanations for many of todays growing chronic illnesses. Top among them, autism spectrum disorders, but the list also contains any sort of neurological disorder, collagen based disorder, infertility, thyroid and hormone disorders, dementia, nervous system diseases like Parkinsons, ALS and MS and many more. Seneff and her colleagues argue that Glyphosate and many other chemical pesticides, herbicides and heavy metals have proven to impair nerve cells, the liver, hormone creating organs, the brain, the heart, the gut, collagen and more. It is possible it is even harming our very genetics. They have been studying its effects on human health for over two decades and
her bottom line advice to anyone who wants to avoid getting disease- filter your water for these chemicals and eat organic!
In their testing over the years they have found Glyphosate, the main ingredient in round up in 100% of the people they have tested. IT is impacting all of us on some level. HOW on earth are we all getting Round up in our bodies ?
Here is the bottom line… so many tons of it have been sprayed over the last two decades that it has saturated the soil that the crops are grown on. It is estimated that it will take 20 years for it to break down in loamy soil- 30 years in clay soil. Every time it rains, these chemicals are driven into the soil and eventually wash in to streams rivers and lakes. When that water is taken up into the atmosphere, the glyphosate goes with it. It is then rained down indiscriminately over the entire planet. Glyphosate is getting into our crops, even organic to a much smaller degree, our water supply, and yards and pools. Anywhere rainwater goes. It has been found in breast milk, in urine, and in newborns.
Groups like the Environmental Working Group and others concerned about these unregulated environmental toxins have been testing foods that we all buy in the grocery store. They find levels of glyphosate in almost ALL non organic grains, cereals, crackers, breads, wheat and oat products in particular, but also corn chips, potatoe chips, and many snack foods. Worst of all, the highest levels are found in meat and dairy. How does it get in there ? Animals that are fed Round up ready grains and corn will concentrate the herbicides in their meat and milk. Some organic foods have also been found to have traces of glyphosate but no where near the level found in non organic GMO foods. GMO’s ( genetically modified organisms) are actual organisms with viral bits in them that were artificially designed to withstand the onslaught of Round UP. That way, when the entire field gets sprayed, only the weeds die, not the crop. Round Up is also sprayed onto wheat in its final stages to help it ripen faster. So when you eat GMO foods, it is highly likely that you are getting Round Up in your food as well.
Read the above article to understand more, but what I want you to understand is that there is a REASON WHY so many of us are having issues with hormones, nervous system problems, GI diseases, joint and muscle issues, non healing injuries or frequent injuries, psychiatric issues and many many other health problems.
In my office I am seeing more and more children and young adults in their prime with joint pain, non healing injuries, and a whole host of other symptoms that are just NOT NORMAL for any age, but particularly in your prime of life. I would say that 90% of them have a significant response on Zyto testing for Glyphosate and other herbicides and pesticides. When someone with Lyme disease has super sensitivities and Mast cell activation syndrome, or have not responded to other lyme treatments well, I am certain that the presence of these environmental toxins and more are making their process so much more difficult.
We work long and hard to remove these toxins to make their healing process go so much better this time. Those with autoimmunity ALWAYS have stored toxins in their tissues. Whether it’s the thyroid, gut, liver, joints, muscles, or brain, I know that we must spend significant time and energy detoxing these tissues. Those who do put the time in gain the benefits of improved symptoms- some quickly and miraculously, others slowly over time. But they all improve! Studies tell us that those with infertility, and multiple endocrine disorders have been impacted by pesticides and herbicides. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6396757/
In conclusion, avoiding pesticides and herbicides in your food and water is one of the smartest investments you will ever make in your health and that of your children.
