Glyphosate

Q. Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide in the world, and is sprayed heavily on our food, particularly on GMO crops, but also on wheat and other a whole host of other crops just prior to harvest. It is also present in the meat of animals that have been fed such food. Researchers such as Dr Stephanie Seneff have linked glyphosate to a wide range of chronic diseases (see for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snNRfAfSeUk ). Her theories are plausible, but in many cases not yet supported by direct experimental evidence. 

Do you see the link to diseases being as strong as she proposes, which would make glyphosate the single biggest health issue in the world, or is the criticism that she is purely speculating and over-stating the case valid (e.g. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4538578/ )? If it's as harmful as suggested, is the continued and growing use of this chemical just a standard case of ignorance combined with profit motive, or is their something more sinister behind it? Since this chemical has been shown to be present in almost everyone, what are the key ways that we can avoid continued exposure and remove it from our bodies? Are there reasons why some people are particularly sensitive to this chemical, and if so what are the ways that they can know this and take extra precautions?
A.  I get there is legitimacy to glyphosate being tied to various illnesses.  There is a huge push for farmers to make more and more, and Monsanto is driving (and I hear "giving incentives" ??) this.  Additionally, Monsanto is associated to the marketing of glyphosate (under the name RoundUp) to use on their crops.  Monsanto crops and Monsanto affiliated glyphosate equals money in the pockets of the top people at Monsanto and the PTW (Powers That Were) tied to them.

Monsanto and glyphosate execs know the dangers, but do (I hear) "strategic tests" that support the "health effects" being minimal.  They focus on the "desired" clinical test results and base their PR around it.  They know they have a good thing going, and don't want to lose it.  It truly is a case of money and greed dictating over the ethics behind right and wrong.

It is hard to avoid (it is everywhere).  It gets in the crops, and the animals that eat the crops. It is also in the air we breathe (if you go anywhere near a farmer's field around a time it has been sprayed).  The best defense is to always be working on a detox (doesn't have to be aggressive, but something).  For example, drink lots of water to give you system an easier outlet for purging.  Try to eat organic when you can (but it is even leaking into that food supply via cross contamination) and thoroughly rinse fruits and veggies.  

Sensitive people can react even more adversely to glyphosate.  I get that the body doesn't react to the foods that are eaten, but they react to the toxins associated to the food (like in the case of celiac, IBS, crohn's and certain autoimmune dis-eases).  Our body's are intelligent and don't attack themselves, but rather the "bad stuff" hiding in it.  If you are sensitive, the best approach is a very clean organic diet.  Read labels, and pay attention.  Also start a personal mantra to thank the food, allow it to nourish your body and purge what is not needed.  (Don't beat yourself up if you eat the cake at a birthday party, but try to focus on being as clean at eating as possible during the majority of the time). 

And that is all I have for this reading.  Thank you.  Love and light-

Indeed, it really really helps to thank the food, as Lynn suggests, especially if you're eating meat of any kind. Sincerely thank the animals (see them as individuals and pet them) for their sacrifice for you and your family, as well as for anything else you consume. You can also ask Brother J or SOURCE to enjoy whatever it is you're consuming with you, which helps to take the "curse" off it. Also, if you're feeling lots of Wave X effects, then ask for J to enjoy that energy with you; makes it easier to endure. These are all just symbols, and the above technique works to heal your mind of illusion.

Also note that many alcoholic beverages (wine, beer, etc.) have LOTS of glyphosate in them. One recent report showed 100% of Napa wines tested (from 25 wineries) contaminated.

Monsanto is the most evil company on earth. Just like phosphates were eliminated from detergents, Roundup has to be banned and their thugery against farmers come to an end.

Do you see a link between glyphosate and the death of millions of bees (or are there other reasons too?) Thanks!

@Da-da Thanks. That explains why I get sick over just one glass.

There is a GMO documentary that is showing each of 6 segments for one day only (I assume they will put it on sale afterwards). The video is only available to people who sign up for the newsletter, but I found the source link which I will post below (I hope it works). What I got from the beginning is that Glyphosate robs us of essential nutritional building blocks and, being a man-made water soluble herbicide rather than fat soluble, it flushes through our system and spreads throughout our ecosystem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqNDaL4eqC0&index=11&list=WL&t=1211s

Glyphosate does hurt bees, and the entire ecosystem.

@Alice: Thanks for the info!

Thanks, Lynn. Very interesting. So if glyphosate is not part of a so-called "slow kill" operation, does that mean there is no slow-kill operation or that there is one - or several - that operates through different means?
