GLYPHOSATE...Was Never Meant To Ever Come In Contact With Our Food. It Was Patented To Strip The Minerals Off The Walls Of Pipes. It Has Chelated All The Minerals From Our Soil & Our Crops. The Gov't Is Set To Grant Immunity To The Poison That Has Stripped Us Of Our Health... July 23, 2025: The FY26 Interior-Environment Appropriations Bill passed with no public vote, Appropriations Committee with section #453 included, that will give full legal immunity to pesticide & herbicide manufacturers. It now goes on to the final vote to be enacted into law. Forty Years of Glyphosate From Descaling Pipes to Killing Weeds Glyphosate poison’s history begins in 1964. That’s the year glyphosate was originally patented to clean pipes. The Stauffer Chemical Company of Westport, Connecticut patented glyphosate to remove unwanted mineral deposits from pipes, like Drano. As with the pipe-cleaning patent, glyphosate binds (chelates) vital nutrients such as iron, manganese, zinc & boron in the soil. By binding these nutrients, glyphosate prevents plants from absorbing them. It directly interrupts plant development, killing plants by metabolically poisoning them. When something is unable to process nutrients for its health, it dies. People can also die in this fashion, when their bodies can no longer process food for nutritional value needed to boost the immune system & sustain life. Monsanto patented & introduced into the pesticide market in 1974 under the trade name “Roundup®.” Glyphosate disrupts the regulation of the synthesis of amino acids in plants & strips thru chelation, the minerals that are bioavailable in plants & soil. Glyphosate poisons the soil & plants, causing them to be devoid of minerals which are required by all mammals, including humans, for life. Every man, woman & child in the U.S. is contaminated with glyphosate. Evidence from independent researchers show glyphosate alters human & animal intestinal flora, leading to a harmful imbalance in the stomach’s microbiome, thus stripping away (chelating) beneficial (& necessary) gut bacteria & increasing more toxic or harmful bacteria, just as it does in the soil. Minerals Are Required Cofactors For Abundant Health...Without Minerals, Life & Health Cease To Exist. The Expression "Salt Is Life" Is In Reference To The Body's Crucial Need For Life Giving Minerals. Glyphosate Makes These Minerals Unavailable To Us: Major Minerals: Calcium:.Crucial for strong bones & teeth, muscle & nerve function & blood clotting. Phosphorus:.Works with calcium to build bones & teeth, & is essential for energy production. Magnesium:.Involved in over 300 bodily functions, including muscle & nerve function, blood sugar control, & blood pressure regulation. Sodium:.Regulates blood pressure & fluid balance, & is essential for nerve & muscle function. Potassium:.Another electrolyte that plays a vital role in nerve & muscle function, including heart function, & regulates fluid balance. Chloride:.An electrolyte that maintains proper fluid balance & is involved in digestion. Sulfur:.A component of many proteins & enzymes, & is important for various bodily functions. Trace Minerals: Iron: Essential for carrying oxygen in red blood cells. Zinc: Supports immune function, wound healing & cell division. Iodine: Needed for thyroid hormone production & every cell in the body, which is vital for metabolism & development. Copper: Involved in energy production & allows the body to absorb iron. Manganese: Aids in protein, carbohydrate & cholesterol breakdown, & cell division. Chromium: Crucial for insulin & carbohydrate metabolism. Molybdenum: A component of several enzymes involved in various metabolic processes. Selenium: An antioxidant that protects cells from damage & required cofactor for Iodine. Because of the current hazard state of our land, soil & crops...we aren't even getting the abundance of minerals from animal sourced foods anymore either. The animals have no access to plants that are full of bioavailable minerals like they were prior to Roundup Glyphosate, making the animals mineral deficient which then adds to humans being deficient. Both plant foods & animal sourced foods are mineral deficient. This is why I add major & trace minerals back into my drinking water & onto the foods I consume everyday. Vibrant health comes from minerals consumed with whole nutrient dense foods. The Gov't is not coming to save us...we must save ourselves. 👇Glyphosate Toxicity As A Carcinogen👇 pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/article… 👇40 Years Of Glyphosate Neurotoxin Harms👇 atraxialaw.com/news/roundup-… 👇Glyphosate Chelates All Major & Trace Minerals👇 wisnerbaum.com/toxic-tort-la… Speaker: Jeffrey Smith, author of 'Seeds of Deception' Video: @Wellness_Radar

Advocates: the federal government must not only pause its planned rollback on pesticide regulations but also to better account for research showing that even small amounts of residue from pesticides, can harm human health and the environment. nationalobserver.com/2026/10…

WATCH OUT this Halloween… 60% of popular children’s candies are laced with poisonous ARSENIC. Your child can eat just 2.4 pieces of KIT KAT or SNICKERS over an ENTIRE YEAR before breaching the arsenic safety limit. Florida's Department of Health found that SweeTarts, Skittles, Nerds, Sour Patch Kids, Twizzlers, Jolly Ranchers, Snickers, Kit Kat, and Tootsie Rolls ALL contained ARSENIC. @NancyMace

“It is deeply concerning to find a Highly Hazardous Pesticide like glyphosate present in the very places where our children play. UK glyphosate use has skyrocketed in recent years, as has the evidence linking this chemical to serious health conditions. We all know that young children tend to put their fingers and other items in their mouths so finding glyphosate residues in playgrounds, including on play equipment such as swings and slides, is particularly worrying.” Nick Mole, Policy Officer, PAN UK Cancer-linked pesticide found in eight out of thirteen children’s playgrounds: pan-uk.org/playgrounds/

Got Corn Allergies? The USDA has deregulated yet another toxic GMO corn - Bayer-Monsanto's MON 95275 - that produces two insecticidal proteins and a double-stranded RNA transcript from an inverted repeat sequence designed to match the western corn rootworm. The corn is registered with the EPA as a pesticide because that's exactly what it is: a pesticide. The insecticides are in the corn and can't be washed off. To make matters worse, it's genetically engineered to tolerate spraying with multiple toxic herbicides, potentially up to five. These endocrine-disrupting, carcinogenic herbicides are absorbed into the corn and also can't be washed off. This corn will be used for ethanol, conventional animal feed, and put into conventional processed foods that use corn, like Coca-Cola and Kellogg's Corn Flakes. Products made with toxic GMO corn belong in the pesticide aisle, not on grocery stores' food shelves. If you have allergies to conventional corn products, now you know why.
