The tide is turning. Two new papers show the importance of transforming the current global GMO toxic food supply to nontoxic, regenerative methods. Moms Across America has long been calling for transformation in the food system, collectively with many other organizations, for decades. It is a sign of hope to see so many diverse experts now calling for change.

For decades, long before COVID, a health crisis has been looming. The number of Americans, our family members, struggling with cancer and various health disorders has skyrocketed. Over 50% of our children now have a chronic illness, one out of six have a learning disorder, one out of five Americans has a mental health issue, and one out of two males and one out of three females are expected to get cancer. Our health is, without exaggeration, in a crisis. If these numbers continue to progress as they have for the past twenty years, we are soon headed for a human health apocalypse. No amount of government bailouts, no reduction in taxes, no change of political party or leadership will be able to heal the bodies of our loved ones and remove our pain and grief from loss. No matter how charismatic, no President or Governor will be able to give us our sister or mother back.

At Moms Across America, we are committed to empowering mothers and others to create healthy communities. A foundational aspect of being healthy has the freedom to choose which medical procedures we receive. Not just from a fundamental human rights aspect, but from the undeniable reality that every human being has a unique genetic disposition. One may believe that drugs or vaccines are effective and can still acknowledge that no single medication will affect every person in the same way. Therefore, humans cannot be required by our government, employers, schools, or businesses to partake in a medical procedure or drug when there is the potential of considerable, irreversible health consequences for that individual.

Despite an estimated 125,000 plaintiffs who have sued Monsanto/Bayer for their glyphosate-based herbicide products’( GBH’s) connection to non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, and 40 countries around the world banning or restricting the use of glyphosate, Bayer continues to push the increased use of this agrochemical on food and feed crops.

Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) has recently posted a proposed increase of glyphosate maximum residue levels (MRLs) on food crops to be 100 - 650% higher than previous levels. Glyphosate-based herbicides are used on many crops as a drying agent before harvest, weedkiller in agriculture or landscaping leads to glyphosate contamination of our water, food, beverages, rain, air, and even some childhood vaccines.

The risk of higher glyphosate residues on the global food supply and products, including America’s, resulting in decreased health, is not probable if this proposal is approved. It is definite. Much of Canada and the northern midwest of America are considered the “breadbasket” of America.  In 2018/19, Canada's total cereal (grain) exports amounted to around 28.39 million metric tons, exported to 95 different countries worldwide.

As a mother whose children were sick, I could not stand to watch their health decline and their options for participating in society, their future, be compromised. Once I was introduced to the topic of GMOs and glyphosate in our food supply, I quickly became consumed by the mission to get GMOs out of our food and glyphosate herbicides banned from the market. This work has been my primary focus over the past nine years. I have interacted on a daily basis with scientists, farmers, researchers, and lawyers who have been focused on glyphosate and toxic agrochemicals for decades. The number of scientific studies on glyphosate that I have read and recounted in hundreds of talks, podcasts, TV, and radio shows around the world is countless. And yet, Seneff’s new book Toxic Legacy: How the Weedkiller Glyphosate Is Destroying Our Health and the Environment still astounded me. She shares studies I had never heard of and mechanisms of harm that make complete sense, even to a layman. Nearly every sentence of this book is backed by a scientific study. Every concept, though many have labeled them as conjecture or theory, is backed by science. 

Reviews: 

"Toxic Legacy will stand shoulder to shoulder with Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring. [This is] unquestionably, one of the most important books of our time."―David Perlmutter, MD, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Grain Brain y Brain Wash

"Urgent and eye-opening, the book serves as a loud-and-clear alarm."―The Boston Globe

"A game-changer that we would be foolish to ignore."―Kirkus Reviews (starred)

From an MIT scientist, mounting evidence that the active ingredient in the world’s most commonly used weedkiller is contributing to skyrocketing rates of chronic disease

If you have heard it from us once, you have heard it a thousand times. But it bears repeating because the EPA has still not done its job and banned glyphosate.

The science to support that ban keeps on coming.

In the past few months, more and more data is accumulating, showing that glyphosate herbicides, otherwise known as Roundup or Ranger Pro and 700+ other brands, must be removed from the shelves, banned from aerial spraying, and restricted from agriculture use immediately. Here are five more reasons why.

Un nuevo estudio publicado abril 6, 2021, en el Journal of Applied Ecology reveals that Roundup, the most widely used herbicide globally and the focus of recent lawsuits regarding non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, is not just a weedkiller but a bee killer as well.

This study is monumental because the decline of bee populations has been drastically declining since Roundup was introduced to our agriculture, landscaping industries, and backyard gardening in the late 1970s. In the US, the number of honey-bee colonies dropped from 6 million in 1947 to just 2.5 million in 2014. In 2015, Monsanto made nearly $4.76 billion in sales and $1.9 billion in gross profits from herbicide products, mostly Roundup.

Take action NOW

Moms Across America has received countless emails and phone calls asking for help to stop the aerial spraying of glyphosate and toxic weed killers on forest areas by utility and lumber companies. People from California, Oregon, Washington, and numerous other states were desperate for help and increasingly got sicker by the day. They pleaded, “There has to be some way we can stop this, right?” Unfortunately, we responded, the lawyers tell us you can only sue after you get sick if you have a huge amount of health issues. You must have proof of the chemical causing that symptom through peer-reviewed scientific studies. Unfortunately, these critical studies reportedly lag 17 years behind the widespread appearance of symptoms - so the proof the lawyers need that certain chemicals cause the exact problem people have is not available yet.

Los remitimos a los abogados que conocemos personalmente y en los que confiamos, con la esperanza de que, eventualmente, uno diga que sí y pueda litigar el caso con éxito. Los dirigimos a los folletos informativos de nuestra Tienda de materiales y rezamos para que alguien, en algún lugar de la línea de toma de decisiones, los lea o escuche la razón y la ciencia. Esperamos que alguien eventualmente escuche, pero nuestra fe a menudo se ve golpeada por campañas masivas de relaciones públicas financiadas por la industria y tácticas corporativas furtivas.

 Es difícil tener fe cuando el sistema está configurado para ellos y no para nosotros.

Como hijo de padres que fueron maestros, sé que la mayoría de los planes de lecciones para todo el año escolar se crean durante el verano. Gran parte de la planificación sobre si nuestros hijos aprenderán o no de discusiones en persona, libros de texto, pizarras, proyectores o dispositivos inalámbricos se decidirá en unas pocas semanas.

Just this week the Environmental Health Trust and Washington Spectator reported: Oregon Health Authority is Condemned by Scientists for Scrubbing Report on Wireless Health Hazards.

Claramente, ignorar la ciencia tiene repercusiones individuales, estatales y nacionales.

Por favor, tómese un momento para enviar una carta a su director y al personal de la escuela para animarlos a programar la escuela durante el verano. Puede utilizar nuestra carta como inspiración. 

Estimados directores de la junta escolar, director, director de tecnología, directores de salud y maestros:

Esperamos que esté teniendo un verano maravilloso.

Sé que nuestros maestros y personal no tienen todo el verano "libre"; sin embargo, la mayoría de los planes de lecciones para todo el año escolar se crean durante el verano. Gran parte de la planificación sobre si nuestros hijos aprenderán o no de discusiones en persona, libros de texto, pizarras, proyectores o dispositivos inalámbricos se decidirá en unas pocas semanas.

Estaremos muy felices de tener a nuestro hijo nuevamente en clases en el otoño, aprender en persona con usted y poder hacer amigos. Apreciamos el cuidado y la alegría que puso en brindar una excelente educación a todos los niños. ¡¡¡¡Gracias!!!!

Sin embargo, estamos muy preocupados por la cantidad de tiempo que los estudiantes pasan frente a los dispositivos electrónicos inalámbricos en clase.

El viaje continuo de mi familia hacia un estilo de vida orgánico sin gluten

Por Rivka Seeman

La vida no había sido fácil por un tiempo. Luché por mantener la compostura mientras mi pequeño hijo se enfurecía en el metro frente a numerosos extraños y, a veces, conocidos. Terrores nocturnos, “dolores de crecimiento” que lo despertaban por la noche llorando, comportamiento que cambiaría sin previo aviso. Sabía que algo andaba mal. Posiblemente algo que estaba comiendo. Sus principales grupos alimenticios fueron los lácteos y el trigo. La artritis juvenil de su primo, una enfermedad autoinmune, estaba siendo ayudada con una dieta libre de gluten. Decidí que cuando necesitaba un análisis de sangre de todos modos, le pediría al médico que le hiciera una prueba de sensibilidad a los alimentos. 

Sin que yo lo supiera, la enfermera había escrito mal su peso en su tabla y parecía que no había aumentado de peso en todo un año, un signo clásico de celíaco, así que aunque ni siquiera se me había ocurrido la enfermedad de celíaco, sí ocurrió. a su pediatra. Más tarde descubriría lo afortunados que éramos de tener un pediatra que sabía lo suficiente como para estar dispuesto a chequear si tenía celíacos, y que sabía lo que ella no sabía. Ella nos refirió a un gastroenterólogo experto para confirmar el diagnóstico y recibir atención médica continua. No todos los profesionales médicos tienen los conocimientos necesarios para detectar la presencia de celíacos y algunos brindan muy poca orientación sobre a dónde ir a partir de ahí.
