A new study, by senior study author Ramnik Xavier of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard on the maternal human microbiome, provides support for what we have been saying for a decade; "Pregnant mothers need to eat organic food!"

Evidence of horizontal gene transfer between human maternal microbiome and infant gut microbiome

Original article by Cell Press

Researchers have discovered a new mode of vertical mother-to-infant microbiome transmission, where microbes in the maternal gut shared genes with microbes in the infant gut during the perinatal period starting immediately before birth and extending through the first few weeks after birth. This horizontal gene transfer allowed maternal microbial strains to influence the functional capacity of the infant microbiome, in the absence of persistent transmission of the microbial strains themselves.

Such a large-scale integrative analysis, presented diciembre 22 in the journal Cell, provides a series of high-resolution snapshots of gut colonization dynamics that influence infant development both before and after birth.

"This is the first study to describe the transfer of mobile genetic elements between maternal and infant microbiomes," says senior study author Ramnik Xavier of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. "Our study also, for the first time, integrated gut microbiome and metabolomic profiles from both mothers and infants and discovered links between gut metabolites, bacteria and breastmilk substrates. This investigation represents a unique perspective into the co-development of infant gut microbiomes and metabolomes under the influence of known maternal and dietary factors."

I spoke with Dr. William Davis today, bestselling author of the Wheat Belly books, Undoctored and Super Gut, about reclaiming lost microbes and youthfulness. What does this mean? Let’s dig in further.

As we learned from my last interview with Dr. Davis on his book Super Gut, there are beneficial bacteria that our grandparents and ancestors had in their microbiomes that most of us do not have! Why is that? It is mostly because of the overuse of antibiotics that kill off pathogenic bacteria and beneficial bacteria, and due to the extensive amount of environmental toxins we encounter every day. The problem is that when certain stains are killed off, they’re gone. Herein lies the problem. These strains were highly essential for having things like deep restful sleep, restoration of youthful muscle and strength, increased collagen and moisture in our skin, increased libido, preservation of bone density, and even creating deeper levels of empathy and love.

I was invited to travel recently and fly cross-country for two work events. I used to love to travel, but the idea of being stuck in a metal container with intense Wifi bouncing around for hours, with hundreds of people, many of them potentially sick, has me very selective regarding my agreements. An additional concern was then added from a conversation at a dinner party. The subject of flying came up with the President of the US Freedom Flyers. An American Airlines pilot, 37-year-old Josh Yoder, informed me that the rates of disability in pilots at American Airlines increased 300% during the first six months of 2022.

We live in a time when it has never been more important to have a healthy immune system. Certainly, the last 2-1/2 years have taught us this. There will undoubtedly be more pandemics in the future. Did anyone notice that not one single major public health official took the step to tell us what we most needed to hear that robust good health is our best defense against infectious disease? Today, I spoke with Dr. Chris Chlebowski, author of El virus y el huésped, his new book which shows us how to take control of our health and decrease susceptibility to infectious viral disease before it strikes.

en The Virus and the Host, protect yourself from infectious disease by reducing toxicity, improving immunity, and minimizing chronic illness, Dr. Chlebowski offers practical and understandable information on viruses, protozoa, bacteria, parasites, and fungi and what each of those pathogens is and what they are not. He shares how viruses are different and what we are still learning about them. He also talks about some of the major toxins that wreak havoc on our immune system. He shares how chronic disease interacts and can predispose us to poor outcomes from acute viral infections, like Covid 19.

Es probable que hayas visto el Programa Nacional de Pruebas de Almuerzos Escolares resultados, que muestran que el 93.18 % de las 43 muestras de almuerzos escolares analizadas dieron positivo para glifosato, el 74 % dio positivo para otros pesticidas nocivos, el 100 % dio positivo para metales pesados neurotóxicos, altos niveles de medicamentos veterinarios y Se detectaron hormonas y bajos niveles de nutrientes. En resumen, la comida con la que estamos alimentando a los futuros líderes de nuestro país es pésima.

Cada día se sirven 30 millones de comidas transgénicas a nuestros niños y, para una gran cantidad de ellos, el desayuno y el almuerzo que comen en la escuela son los únicos alimentos que comen cada día. Dependen únicamente de la calidad y la densidad de nutrientes del programa federal de comidas escolares para su nutrición, lo que apoya o disminuye su desarrollo cerebral, salud mental y funciones corporales.

Una película japonesa con un gran impacto en el suministro de alimentos estadounidense

El gobierno japonés posee el centro de distribución de cereales más grande del mundo. Tiene su sede en Convent, Luisiana, Estados Unidos. 

The distribution center Zen Noh Agriculture purchases hundreds of millions of pounds, over four billion US dollars worth of GMO and non-GMO grains annually, from American farmers and ships them to China, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, and South East Asia.

In other words, the Japanese government owns an outsized stake in the American midwest agriculture system. This is why American Presidents and corporations put enormous pressure on the Japanese government to accept our GMO grains sprayed with glyphosate. The Japanese government, in response to the US and Monsanto’s demands, drastically deregulated glyphosate. Japan’s allowable levels of glyphosate residues are as much as 95% higher than China’s. As a result, Monsanto’s and US grain products have had not only devastating health effects on the people living in Japan but on America as well.

Ningún otro mercado, ni siquiera el de las madres estadounidenses, está tan intrincadamente conectado con el sistema agrícola estadounidense como el japonés.

El hecho es que si el gobierno de los EE. UU. fuera responsable de la producción de alimentos seguros, no produciría cultivos transgénicos tóxicos y los exportaría a ningún país. Y si el gobierno japonés fuera responsable de la seguridad de su gente, no les permitiría entrar a su país. Sin embargo, la presión política de los EE. UU. es enorme. ¿Triunfará la gente en la protección de su suministro de alimentos?

In case you missed it, on octubre 16, 2022, World Food Day, Regeneration International hosted a series of extraordinary interviews. 

One of them, The New MDS: Moms Doctors, and Scientists - What’s Making Our Children Sick?, according to Ronnie Cummings, director of the Organic Consumers Association, was one of the best interviews he has seen.

Como se vio por primera vez en Sustainable Pulse:

Indiana University School of Medicine researchers are learning more about the effects of herbicide exposure during pregnancy, finding glyphosate in 99 percent of the pregnant women they observed in the Midwest. In the study, published recently in Environmental Health, higher glyphosate levels were associated with lower birth weight and may also lead to higher neonatal intensive care unit admission risk.

This is the second small-scale study the researchers have conducted with significant findings. The team’s previous study, published in 2018, was the first study to confirm glyphosate in 93 percent of pregnancies which found associations with shortened pregnancies. Other recent studies have also confirmed their findings.

“Pesticide exposure in pregnancy, especially in early pregnancy, can imprint DNA and alter gene expression,” said Paul Winchester, MD, professor of clinical pediatrics and the study’s lead author. “But little is known about how these chemicals can impact fetal development in humans.”

“Como neonatólogo, veo cada vez más bebés con problemas como bajo peso al nacer, así como madres con problemas como obesidad o diabetes gestacional”, dijo Winchester. “Necesitamos seguir estudiando estos herbicidas a largo plazo para descubrir cómo podrían estar causando estos problemas y qué podemos hacer para prevenirlos”.

Los investigadores esperan estudiar la exposición al glifosato en un grupo más grande de mujeres embarazadas con el tiempo.

Este estudio fue un esfuerzo de colaboración con Franciscan Health en Indianápolis, la Universidad de California en San Francisco, la Universidad de Arkansas para Ciencias Médicas y la Facultad de Medicina de King's College London.

Treinta millones de comidas escolares modificadas genéticamente se sirven diariamente en Estados Unidos a nuestros niños.

La prueba de 43 muestras de almuerzos escolares muestra:

• el 93 % de los artículos del almuerzo escolar contenían glifosato cancerígeno, disruptor endocrino y causante de enfermedades hepáticas.
• 74% de las muestras contenían al menos uno de 29 pesticidas dañinos.
• 4 Se encontraron hormonas y fármacos veterinarios en 9 muestras de almuerzos escolares en niveles de hasta 130.76 ng/g.
• El 100% de las muestras de almuerzos escolares contenían metales pesados en niveles de hasta 6,293 veces más que los niveles máximos permitidos por la EPA en el agua potable.
• La mayoría de las muestras eran abismalmente bajas en nutrientes.

Se ha descubierto que muchas de estas toxinas contribuyen o causan trastornos del desarrollo neurológico, daños en el sistema inmunitario, trastornos hormonales, cáncer, enfermedades hepáticas, tumores y más.

Sin los nutrientes adecuados, los cerebros de nuestros hijos no funcionarán correctamente y sus cuerpos no se desarrollarán como es necesario. A menudo, los niños con problemas de aprendizaje y de comportamiento tienen deficiencia de uno o dos minerales o vitaminas; cuando esos nutrientes se agregan a su dieta, sus problemas mentales, físicos y de comportamiento disminuyen. Incluso el comportamiento violento se suspende. Nuestros niños deben tener una alimentación rica en nutrientes adecuada.

Para millones de niños desatendidos, las comidas escolares son las únicas comidas que consumen. Los almuerzos escolares contienen muchos ingredientes de cultivos transgénicos, como maíz, soja y azúcar de remolacha azucarera, y se procesan con aceites transgénicos, como canola y aceite de soja. La mayoría de los cultivos modificados genéticamente están diseñados para resistir productos químicos tóxicos como el glifosato, el glufosinato, el dicamba y muchos otros productos químicos nocivos. 

El trigo, los guisantes, los frijoles, la avena y otros ingredientes de granos que se encuentran en los almuerzos escolares, como en los panes para perros calientes y hamburguesas, el recubrimiento de pan rallado, la pasta, las masas de pizza, etc., se derivan principalmente de cultivos convencionales que a menudo se rocían con glifosato como agente secante antes de la cosecha; esta práctica genera altos niveles de residuos de glifosato en los alimentos. Se han analizado miles de muestras de alimentos para detectar glifosato; no tenemos conocimiento de tales pruebas en los almuerzos escolares.
