IS OUR FOOD MAKING
US SICK?


“It is health that is the real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver."
– Mahatma Gandhi
Our focus in this month’s issue is Health. Specifically, we will be exploring the links between genetically modified foods (GMOs), glyphosate, gut health, and autoimmune disease. 

About a year ago, I broke out in a strange rash and immediately went to the doctor. After a series of tests, including one for chemicals in my body, we found I had a toxic level of glyphosate (the chemical in Roundup® weed killer) and parabens (preservatives) in my body. I was shocked! We don’t use Roundup® on your yard, and I thought I ate a healthy diet. How did this happen? I had always been what some might call a “health nut,” but I didn’t know what I didn’t know!
WHY WOMEN GET MORE AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES
By Dr. Tom O'Bryan, SWT Guest

Approximately 80% of all people suffering from autoimmune diseases are women! Even animal models seem too often share this bias.

Men and women are exposed to the same food and the same toxins in our food, water, and air, yet for every one male that has celiac, there are three females with celiac.

For every one man with lupus, nine women will get it. The same is true for the thyroid, with a 9:1 ratio of women to men with thyroid conditions.
GLYPHOWHAT?
THE DAILY POISONING OF OUR CHILDREN
By Dr. Michelle Perro, SWT Guest

Parents are unaware of their children are consuming a daily dose of poison. What I'm referring to is glyphosate, the declared main ingredient in Roundup®, thanks to the dissemination of toxic seeds distributed by Monsanto-now-Bayer. 

Monsanto"s product history includes DDT (think Rachel Carson and The Silent Spring), Agent Orange, GMOs, saccharin, PCBs, nuclear weapons, polystyrenes, aspartame, and bovine growth hormones. Parents are unaware of this great harm to their children.
