Moms Across America was shocked to learn that 10 doctors from various locations signed a letter demanding that Columbia University cut ties with Dr. Oz for misleading and endangering the public.

 This group of doctors are led by by Henry Miller, who is connected to tobacco and promoting DDT and GMOs, who has slandered environmental and food activists, and who has fraudulently represented himself work for Stanford University. The reality is that the building, owned by Hoover, where he sometimes works, is on the same plot of land.  He is not a professor at Stanford.

The doctors stated the following a few days after the Dr. Oz show that glyphosate (Roundup) has been declared a Class 2 " Probable Carcinogen" by the World Health Organization, an arm of the United Nations. Class 2 is 1 step away from a definite carcinogen:

"We are surprised and dismayed that Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons would permit Dr. Mehmet Oz to occupy a faculty appointment, let alone a senior administrative position in the Department of Surgery," they wrote. Because of the publicity Oz gives to nonscientific and even potentially damaging nostrums, they added, "members of the public are being misled and endangered, which makes Dr. Oz's presence on the faculty of a prestigious medical institution unacceptable." 

Let's look at the reality. The reality is that Dr. Oz has been the only nationwide talk show host to be courageous and responsible enough to speak out about glyphosate and pesticides/herbicides (which GMOS are genetically engineered to withstand and therefore increase the exposure to children and people through our food. They do not wash off), which are made by some of the largest companies in the world.

The reality is that these companies make not only the toxic chemicals sprayed on our food which has been proven to lead to illness ( see our data page), but they make the chemical medications for diabetes, allergies, anxiety, and cancer medications etc that make us "better".  I say "better" because in the majority of these cases what happens is that we then have a litany of side effects which require more chemical medications to counter those side effects. Many also become dependent on medications for the rest of their lives, when simply changing their diet would, for many, remedy the symptoms and eliminate the root cause.

These same chemical medication brands give top dollar in advertising fees to media outlets, universities, community groups and lobbyists across the country. Therefore, it is not in those organization's best interest to say something disparaging about their donors. Many professors or doctors at said universities feel pressured to side with the chemical company donors in fear of loosing their job. Many news channels and universities shy away from sharing news that pesticides harm our children even though the American Academy of Pediatrics and intelligent people around the world KNOW this fact. Pesticides kill. Children should avoid them.

From the AAP:

"This statement presents the position of the American Academy of Pediatrics on pesticides. Pesticides are a collective term for chemicals intended to kill unwanted insects, plants, molds, and rodents. Children encounter pesticides daily and have unique susceptibilities to their potential toxicity. Acute poisoning risks are clear, and understanding of chronic health implications from both acute and chronic exposure are emerging. Epidemiologic evidence demonstrates associations between early life exposure to pesticides and pediatric cancers, decreased cognitive function, and behavioral problems. Related animal toxicology studies provide supportive biological plausibility for these findings. Recognizing and reducing problematic exposures will require attention to current inadequacies in medical training, public health tracking, and regulatory action on pesticides. Ongoing research describing toxicologic vulnerabilities and exposure factors across the life span are needed to inform regulatory needs and appropriate interventions. Policies that promote integrated pest management, comprehensive pesticide labeling, and marketing practices that incorporate child health considerations will enhance safe use."

We Moms say it is simply to be better safe than sorry. Avoid pesticides. This is increasingly difficult however, after discovering through our citizen funded testing that glyphosate is in our tap water, children's urine, breast milk, Pediasure feeding tube liquid and various cereals. The increase of GMOs has led to the increase of this herbicide containing glyphosate and Dr. Oz is one of the few in media who will address this issue.

We ask the doctors who are criticizing Dr.OZ to consider your Hippocratic Oath to first DO NO HARM. You are doing harm by condemning a person who has the courage to speak up on behalf of our children. SHAME ON YOU for being influenced by big chemical companies and slandering a truthful human being. You have an opportunity to rectify this. Do not have your legacy be one of slander and shame. Right this.

We ask our supporters to CALL these doctors and their employers and tell them your personal accounts with getting better by avoiding GMOs and pesticides and getting better when you eat organic. Ask them to retract their statement and stand up for the future of our children and the planet.

 This list of the 10 Doctors who attacked Dr. OZ  was researched by a volunteer mom who found public information.

Glyphosate is the "active" chemical ingredient in Roundup. Roundup is sprayed on GMO foods, non organic foods as a drying agent, on the soil of non organic fields before planting and on back yard gardens, waterways, school, public roads, sidewalks and parks by the hundreds of millions of pounds per year. In 2013 alone,  the use of Roundup increase 73%.

Mothers have been seeing skyrocketing health issues. Despite our testimonies that our children get better when they avoid GMOs and glyphosate (Roundup) sprayed foods, our officials will only consider scientific studies, if anything.
Although it is unacceptable and infuriating that our leaders no longer listen to their mothers, we are glad for the scientists who are asking the right questions.

The new studies that have come out this week are groundbreaking and will have everyone listening not only to mothers, but to their own conscience, heart and soul...and they will know what needs to be done.

Más de 80,000 personas llenaron los pasillos de la Natural Products Expo West en Anheim CA, hombro con hombro, apenas pudimos vislumbrar los puestos y hablar con los proveedores por un momento. Por lo general, grabo video y entrevisto a los proveedores, pero este año fue demasiado ruidoso. En su lugar, tomé fotografías y notas.

El tema de la exposición de salud más grande de EE. UU., NPEW. marzo 5 - 8, 2015 literalmente saltó sobre mí una y otra vez durante 4 días.

Nuestra salud importa y el intestino tiene mucho que ver con eso.

Los signos de disbiosis intestinal en las etapas iniciales de la vida aparecieron de inmediato. Me alegré de ver a Natren abordar la necesidad de un probiótico infantil vegano y sin lácteos, pero me entristeció la idea de que las nuevas madres no solo lidiaran con la pérdida de sueño, sino que con un niño atormentado por el dolor de las alergias, el intestino permeable y la disbiosis intestinal. .

Fue casi como ver a un viejo amigo cuando me detuve en el stand de MRM. Este es el producto que mi naturópata sugirió para ayudar a sellar el intestino de mi hijo cuando tenía disbiosis intestinal, para tomar todas las mañanas, antes de una bebida verde orgánica cruda y algunas vitaminas que le faltaban. Mientras comía libre de transgénicos y en su mayoría orgánicos, pronto mejoró y hoy casi no experimenta reacciones alérgicas. Su alergia a las nueces ha bajado de 19 a 0.2.

No sabía por qué entonces ... por qué mis hijos tenían múltiples alergias alimentarias cuando mi esposo y yo nunca las teníamos, o por qué tenían deficiencia de vitaminas o tenían perfecciones en su pequeña inetstina, pero ahora lo sé. Sé que los OGM están diseñados genéticamente para SER un pesticida o para resistir herbicidas que destruyen las bacterias intestinales saludables y permiten la proliferación de las bacterias patógenas, lo que lleva a la disbiosis intestinal y numerosos problemas de salud. Sé que toda una generación de niños está comprometida solo para llenar los bolsillos de los directores ejecutivos de grandes corporaciones con ganancias. Lo sé porque lo veo con mis propios ojos y tengo cientos de testimonios de madres. 

The result of chemcial farming is a whole generation of children who need gluten free, nut free, dairy free, egg free,and soy free food in order to survive. We have suddenly found ourselves with a new "normal"...not being able to feed our neighbor's children during a play date and not being able to allow our children to eat any food when they go to a birthday party. Many of us know now however that in order to avoid toxic pesticides, it cannot be just gluten free or non GMO Project verified, it MUST be organic. We mother's struggle with being able to find allergen free, gluten free AND organic. I was grateful to find several brands making life easier for parents everywhere. This blog is not about marketing. I am not being paid to present these brands to you. I write, unpaid by any of these companies, to share SOLUTIONS.

Me alegró ver que Amazing Foods y The Sprouted Flour hacen harinas y mezclas orgánicas y sin gluten.

Varias empresas de productos de cereales ofrecían cereales orgánicos antiguos y germinados, lo que significa menos gluten, más vitaminas y nutrientes.

¡Estaba feliz de ver tamales orgánicos! ¡Sí! El maíz transgénico representa el 90% de nuestros cultivos de maíz en Estados Unidos en la actualidad. Los tamales de maíz orgánicos y no transgénicos no son fáciles de conseguir.

En muchos puestos, me emocionó ser recibido por una mamá, la fundadora y la fuerza impulsora detrás de los alimentos orgánicos saludables.

"Mom Made" y Love & Hummus Co. gastan el tiempo y la energía extra para asegurarse de que sea orgánico para usted. 

También me alegró ver el aumento de la stevia orgánica, siendo la orgánica crucial para evitar el Roundup (glifosato). Los consumidores están aprendiendo que el herbicida más utilizado en el mundo, Roundup (glifosato), se rocía sobre los cultivos como desecante o agente secante, en la cosecha para acelerar el proceso de cosecha. Queremos evitar el glifosato, que es un antibiótico patentado (destruye las bacterias intestinales y debilita el sistema inmunológico), quelante (deficiencia de minerales) y disruptor endocrino (defectos de nacimiento, infertilidad y esterilidad). Queremos solo edulcorantes orgánicos y no transgénicos (el aspartamo es transgénico) sin pesticidas tóxicos. Esta es una postura para el trabajo de comercio justo también, ya que sabemos ahora que 20,000 hombres jóvenes que trabajaron en cultivos de azúcar rociados con Rpundup (glifosato) en Sudamérica murieron a causa de enfermedades vivas y renales ... el glifosato está reconocido en la EPA hoja de datos para causar "daño hepático y renal". La correlación no es causalidad, pero como dice Robyn O'Brien, merece una investigación. Como madre agrego que merece especulación y precaución también.

Better to be safe than sorry.

No hay necesidad de alimentar a nuestros hijos con jarabe de maíz transgénico con alto contenido de fructosa o caña de azúcar no orgánica rociada con Roundup (glifosato), que se permite que tenga 25 ppm de glifosato. No es necesario exponerlos a toxinas. Es innecesario e injusto si uno no puede permitirse lo orgánico.

Me alegré de ver ingredientes orgánicos de stevia y azúcar de caña orgánica en productos como la soda orgánica Veri. Recientemente me sentí consternado al ver que la soda orgánica Blue Sky desaparecía de los estantes. Los refrescos "naturales" no son lo suficientemente buenos. Debe ser orgánico.

 Otro espectáculo raro de ver fue la carne seca orgánica, alimentada con pasto y con granos no transgénicos. Si esta marca estuviera disponible en todo el país, los bocadillos serían más seguros y libres de toxinas. La salchicha de Belinski estaba deliciosa y solo contenía un puñado de ingredientes saludables.

Uno de los productos que más me alegró de ver fueron los condimentos probióticos Cultured & Saucy. Muchos estadounidenses no están acostumbrados al concepto de alimentos cultivados o fermentados y, sin embargo, casi todas las demás culturas consumen estos alimentos saludables que curan el intestino con casi todas las comidas. Los mediterráneos consumen yogur a diario, los japoneses; Miso, los coreanos; verduras en escabeche / fermentadas, y los europeos comen chucrut con regularidad. Estos alimentos restauran las bacterias saludables en el intestino, donde se encuentra el 70% de nuestro sistema inmunológico. Comer estos alimentos con nuestras comidas es tan crucial como evitar los OGM y el glifosato y comer alimentos orgánicos. Se necesita algo de tiempo para acostumbrarse a comer una cucharada de chucrut orgánico crudo con cada almuerzo y cena, por lo que muchos quieren condimentar su salsa o comer entremeses probióticos. Sin embargo, consigues alimentos fermentados o cultivados en tu dieta. Tu estómago cantará, tu estado de ánimo mejorará y tu energía volverá. Restaura tus bacterias intestinales, cura tu intestino, recupera tu sistema inmunológico.

 SIGNIFICA Orgánica Sin OGM y sin pesticidas tóxicos. Coma alimentos orgánicos y agregue alimentos cultivados a su dieta.

 Gracias a todas las personas dedicadas que hacen un esfuerzo adicional para usar ingredientes orgánicos, que se oponen al sistema y evitan los alimentos transgénicos, los alimentos cultivados químicamente. Gracias a todos los fabricantes de alimentos que hacen un esfuerzo adicional para alimentar a América con productos orgánicos.

This is from the rally before speaking inside the shareholder meeting.

One of the most important interviews I have ever conducted for understanding the root cause of the health crisis in America was with Dr.Matt Buckley on enero 12, 2015.

GMOs, genetically modified organisms were put in our food, unlabeled in 1996 and are now in 85% of America's food through corn, soy, sugar, cotton seed oil, canola oil, some squash and Hawaiin Papaya. Genetically modified foods are either genetically engineered to BE a pesticide and when the bug eats the crop, it's stomach explodes. BT GMO corn is registered with the EPA as a pesticide. OR GMOs are genetically engineered to WITHSTAND herbicides, so that the crops can be sprayed and all the weeds will die but our food will not. The problem is that the chemicals do not dry off, wash off or cook off as was once believed. We eat them.

The most widely used herbicide in the word is Roundup which contains glyphosate. Glyphosate is now considered a generic chemical and is used in over 1600 products world wide and hundreds of million of pounds are used in the USA. There was a 73% increase of the use of Roundup in 2013 alone. This is attributed to two things, 1) the crops have developed  resistance and farmers are sparaying more chemicals earlier and more often to reduce the weeds. 2) Agriculture journals are recommending farmers spray Roundup ( glyphosate) as a drying agent at harvest, to speed up the harvesting process. They spray non GMO, non organic crops such as wheat, legumes, peas, beans, tea, sugar and more. Glyphosate is also sprayed pre harvest and many crops such as beries and potatoes absorb glyphosate. You can see the complete list of allowable levels of glyphosate on our food and feed crops at EPA List of Allowed Levels of Glyphosate on 160 Food Crops

For more information on glyphosate, which a a patented antibiotic (weakens immune system), chelator (vitamin and mineral deficiency) and endocrine disruptor (infertility, sterility, micarriages and birth defects), go to our Data page.

 A written synopisis is below.

Around 19:00 Dr. Buckley explains:

Recent studies showed that glyphosate destroys the beneficial gut bacteria and allows the pathogenic bacteria to thrive. Glyphosate in our food and gut equals and increase of bad bacteria, especially clostridium botulinum infections.
The pathogenic bacteria overgrowth...and die off..releases waste products (what makes you feel sick) and the lipopolysaccarides released by pathogenic bacteria is a known agent to break down intestines. When the lining of intestine is broken down this allows the lippopolysaccarides to enter the  blood stream which alarms the immune system.  The immune system then releases interlucken 1B  a Cytocon. When this occurs on periperphary of body, that signal is transmitted through the vegus nerve from the gut to the brain.

This signals the immune cells of the brain, the microglia, to also secrete their own interleukin 1 B and glutamate in the brain and spinal cord. Glutamate is an excitotoxin and destroys neurons. This type of damage in the brain and immune system is being shown to be a major factor in all neurodegenerative conditions, including Alzheimer's, Autism, anxiety, depression, Parkison's, MS; and if it happens in the spinal cord this appears to be a major factor in ALS. Read more in his blog here.

Dr. Buckely recommends an organic Paleolithic diet,which is primarily vegetables,seeds, meat, fish, and small amounts of fruit, while excluding grains, dairy, starchy carbs or sugar, which feed the pathogenic bacteria. He agrees that adding raw organic sauerkraut (good bacteria) will offset the bad bacteria and help heal the gut, provided fungal overgrowth isn't excessive. My family eats 1-2 tablespoons of raw organic sauerkraut every day. Probiotic supplements also restore gut health but I reminded the audience in the video that many probiotic companies buy their probiotics from Dianesco which was bought out by Dupont (Dupont also makes the pesticides/herbicides sprayed on our crops, so they have a perfect profit circle). So make sure to ask before you buy.

By eliminating the toxin/antibiotic glyphosate from the food that goes into the gut (by eating organic) which destroys the good bacteria, adding in fermented vegetables and probiotics (good bacteria) and by starving the bad bacteria of sugar, we can restore our gut bacteria and therefore regain our health.

Doctors and health experts agree that the key to the health and survival of the human race is our gut flora. Without healthy gut flora we are all sure to get sick and likely die much sooner than is necessary. It is also key to our mental wellness...healthy decisions, relationships, and fulfilling on our potential in life and as a country. Moms Across America requests that everyone LOOK TO YOUR FOOD.

Are you eating as organic as possible? Good budgeting can result less expensive, more healthy meals by eating organic at home! (One source of support is a book called " 15 minute Healthy, Organic Meals for Less than $10 a Day")

Are you adding in good bacteria via feremented (cultured) foods with every meal? Raw organic saurkraut, organic yogurt or keifer, organic miso, organic kimchi or keifer water soda are the best sources of probiotics.

Are you diminishing the overgrowth of bad bacteria? Eliminating sugar and carbs upon which bad bacteria thrive restores your gut flora and improves your health.

If everyone takes responsibiliy for their own health and their children's in these ways, we can collectively reduce the impact on our families, communities and nation. We can turn this health crisis around and restore the future of America.

To be a leader for the health of YOUR community host an event with Moms Across America. ��Share this information and make a difference for generations to come! Some event ideas are:

1) Host a GMO Movie night or Cultured Food Party and empower your friends and neighbors.

2) Have a table/booth at your local Earth Day Festival in April and reach thousand.

3) Host a Moms Meetup mayo 2, 2015 and help cause a billion dollar shift to organic.

4) Be a leader for a group to join in 4th of July parades and reach tens of thousands in your town.

See our Events page for more info on all these events.  

Make sure to POST your event on MAA with your address as the host so we can send you free materials if/when we get enough sponsorship support!

Thank you for spreading the word!
