Exposure to Glyphosate in Your Lawn and Garden

If you use a weed killer with glyphosate on your lawn or garden, you may be exposed to glyphosate by breathing it in, getting it on your skin, or getting it in your eyes.

The herbicide has been the subject of controversy for years. Once it became known that it causes serious health problems, including endocrine disruption, allergies, asthma, autism spectrum disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, rhinitis, obesity, leukemia, lymphoma, and other forms of cancer. 

The report found that foods such as Cheerios, Goldfish Crackers, Oreos and Doritos contain residues of the chemical glyphosate. Also known by the name Roundup, glyphosate is used to kill weeds in crops. Glyphosate in food is a real health concern.

Liquid Zeolite metal detox treatment safely binds and removes toxic heavy metals (including mercury, aluminum, arsenic, lead, cadmium, pesticides, herbicides, volatile organic compounds, radioactive elements and others) without removing beneficial minerals.

May 15, 2007 in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health by Geier and Geier, clearly suggests there is a direct causal link between mercury exposure from Thimerosal-preserved vaccines and autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Thimerosal (49.55% mercury by weight) is a highly toxic mercury compound used as a preservative in some OTC and prescription drugs, including most flu shots given to pregnant women, infants, children, adults, and the elderly.

In the June 2007 issue of the same journal, a study by J. B. Adams, titled "Mercury, Lead, and Zinc in Baby Teeth of Children with Autism Versus Controls" was published. According to the authors, "Children with autism have 3 times as much mercury in their baby teeth." They continue with a recommendation: "...Removal of heavy metals may help reduce autistic symptoms, especially in young children." The supplement is purified clinoptilolite, a type of zeolite, suspended in solution.

Zeolite is produced when lava meets ocean water. It is one of the few negatively charged minerals in nature, and has a microscopic honeycomb-like crystalline structure of cavities and cages. Waste water studies show that this structure has the ability to attract, trap, bind and remove various heavy metals and toxins such as mercury, lead and cadmium, etc

Why Activated Liquid Zeolite Can Help

Zeolite works outside the cells to absorb mercury and other heavy metals - plus viral particles. And other toxins too - once it has got rid of most of the heavy metals. Zeolite has proven to be such an excellent heavy metal detoxifier, you no longer need a number of other heavy metal detoxifiers that are more commonly suggested.

Zeolite is especially good with mercury and lead. It is able to get through the blood-brain barrier to detoxify the brain. Zeolite has a negative ionic charge and attracts heavy metals, toxins and viral particles to it, grabs hold of them in its cage like structure, and pulls them out of the body without chelating healthy minerals, without releasing the mercury back into the body like many detoxifiers do, and without making the body work harder to detoxify the heavy metals and other toxins it chelates. Nothing works better.

If autism spectrum disorders (ASD) were merely random birth defects, we would expect their incidence in the population to be consistent over time. Studies by Professor James Adams, PhD of Arizona State and other doctors active with DAN protocols have shown that mercury and other heavy metals are prevalent in many children with autism. Other studies suggest a possible link between a mercury-containing preservative found in many vaccines, thimerosal, and the high mercury levels in autistic children; as the number of immunizations rose, so did the incidence of autism.

Question: My 3 year old has been on liquid zeolite for 3 weeks. He doesn’t grind his teeth at night any more. Why?

Dr. Prociuk – Skimming, slapping, eye movements, pinching, teeth grinding are symptoms of a central nervous system that is constantly short-circuiting. There was a paper written comparing symptoms of mercury toxicity to autism- there are about 100 symptoms in each column, and they are remarkably similar. The fact this child is no longer doing that is evidence that liquid zeolite has removed toxins from this child, which is a wonderful thing. You can be sure it worked without stirring up yeast… and causing depletion of essential minerals.

Question – Please explain basic liquid zeolite mechanism.

Dr. Prociuk – Liquid zeolite is a honeycomb shaped molecule. It has a vast absorptive surface area. 100 drops contains an absorptive surface area of 80 to 90 square feet, which is incredible. In one level teaspoon roughly, there is 80 to 90 absorptive square feet of surface area. It is a very strongly negatively charged molecule. Toxins of all sorts, and certainly heavy metals, are all, without exception, positively charged. The basic mechanism of action is; there’s a magnetic attraction to toxic build up areas in the body. Toxins are preferentially bonded to the zeolite because the zeolite contains a much stronger pull than the tissue to which the toxin is attached.

Dr. Prociuk – Some parents have reported a shift in their child within the first day or two. Others take a little longer. Sometimes the results are very dramatic, sometimes they’re a bit more gradual. With perhaps 2 exceptions I haven’t heard a single parent tell me they haven’t had any results at all. That’s generally after the first month when they come back for a follow up. 

Dr. Prociuk– Clearly we have an epidemic of neurodevelopment disorders, and we have the sickest generation ever, 1/3 of the children on some kind of chronic medication. Ask any adult how many of our classmates as kids had asthma. Now it’s 3 in every class. Not only in autism spectrum, but in the whole health picture. It’s taking a marked, and scary turn for the worst. It’s clearly environmental-not genetic, or humans would have been wiped out eons ago. We’re seeing roughly the same statistics in all part of the country.

In my opinion, it’s the lunatic vaccine schedule that children are getting. I believe it’s not just the MMR. There are many factors to be considered… Thimerosal is putting 80 times the EPA recommended amount into an infant is not only lunatic but also criminal. There’s the biological effect-the human immune system is designed to deal with one antigen at a time. Vaccines inject 8 to 10 antigens at one time. When you do that, something is going to break. Liquid zeolite appears to be efficacious with a very wide variety of toxins, including all the toxins associated with vaccines… including… heavy metals, yeast toxins… that’s what makes it such a valuable tool in dealing with this. Any child would benefit from liquid zeolite just to clean up the garbage. 

Dale Breseden, a neurologist specializing in the study and treatment of Alzheimer's, provides a very useful paradigm to understand the multifactorial nature of the d*sease.  Broadly speaking, aside from genetics, the major factors that influence the development of Alzheimer's fall into three categories: deficiencies, toxicity and inflammation. 

Toxic factors involve exposure and absorption of heavy metals, chemicals, and biotoxins. Biotoxins are harmful metabolites secreted by living organisms.  There are many types, but two significant ones are mycotoxins and Lyme toxins.  Mycotoxins, produced by fungi and molds, are quite widespread in food crops, but are also found in animals and humans. Candida albicans, a fungal infection produced by yeast, is an all too common source of mycotoxins that can significantly impact the brain.  Likewise, Lyme disease is a common yet frequently undiagnosed chronic condition that results in cognitive impairment.

Inflammatory responses arise as a result of numerous possible factors including the fungal and spirochete infections mentioned above as well as other bacterial infections and high sugar intake.   In fact, it is not only the over consumption of refined sugar but also of carbohydrates in general that produce inflammation in the brain.

The good news is that these factors can be addressed and in varying degrees rectified. Deficiencies can be reversed, toxins can be eliminated and inflammation can be eliminated or reduced. 

It is not only the kind of food but also its quality that matters. Pesticides, additives and other artificial chemicals only add to the toxins burdening encumbering the system.   Research indicates that genetic engineering has also resulted in toxic foods. The herbicide glyphosate, although almost omnipresent in the food supply, is found in particularly high amounts in GE foods.  Glyphosate has been shown to disrupt various metabolic processes, disturb the digestive function, produce mineral deficiencies and generally produce systemic toxicity. 

Of the many other types of toxins involved in cognitive impairment, heavy metals are probably the most commonly implicated.  Eliminating sources of exposure and promoting detoxification can address this.  Two important steps are the removal of metal dental fillings and discontinuing the use of aluminum cookware. The latter would also include avoiding prepared or restaurant foods cooked with aluminum.  

There are a number of methods remove of heavy metals including supplements, botanical and homeopathic medicines.  Zeolites, mineral compounds derived from volcanic lava, chelate with the metals and eliminate them via urinary excretion.  Low potency homeopathic preparations of the various metals along with lymphatic cleansers also stimulate the body to cleanse itself.

Cosmetics and perfumes are also a common and significant source of chemical toxicity.  If the label contains lots of chemical compounds in the ingredients - or doesn't list the ingredients at all, it is best to discontinue or switch to brands that rely on natural, organic ingredients.  Zeolites and homeopathic detoxifying preparations are useful in ridding the body of residues of these chemicals as well.

t also modulates your immune system for defense against a broad range of bacterial infections, chronic conditions and viruses. Until recently, mercury was a component of the preservative used in most vaccines. Combined with the fact that a number of studies have shown that there is a definitive connection between autism and the part of the body’s system dealing with metal regulation has led to a strong following that believes the vaccines that are being given to children are at the root of the increased number of children who suffer from autism today.
