The Latest on Glyphosate with Stephanie Seneff. Glyphosate, also known as Roundup, is the most widely used herbicide on the planet. Recent evidence suggests that glyphosate is also the most significant toxic chemical in our environment.
Glyphosate is the most used agricultural chemical ever produced and is present in a huge number of foods that you and your patients are eating. Since it was introduced in 1974, we have sprayed almost 10 million tons onto crops Worldwide. That would fill more than 2,300 Olympic-size swimming pools.
Stephanie Seneff is very passionate about Glyphosate. She has been strongly critical of this herbicide and is currently writing a book on Glyphosate Toxicity. In her extensive research, especially for writing her book she has discovered some alarming new effects of the chemical and how it causes harm. She will clearly show us how glyphosate is affecting our patients, why we need to minimise our patient’s exposure and what to look for that would give you a sign that glyphosate is contributing to your patient’s illness.
The World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer has unanimously determined that glyphosate is “probably carcinogenic to humans.” Research has also shown that glyphosate is an endocrine disruptor, causes gut permeability, disrupts microbiome and neurotransmitter function. Glyphosate was originally patented as a chemical chelator as it binds calcium, magnesium, copper and zinc. It was used as a heavy metal chelator to clear pipes and then to soften water. It was later noted to have some herbicidal activity.
Stephanie will give us a thorough update on this chemical with an emphasis on patient care.
