Have you seen the trucks spraying Roundup or Rodeo (glyphosate-based herbicides) on your street yet?
If not, they are coming! In Orange County, CA in previous years, they have sprayed 65,000 pounds of glyphosate alone, 265,000 pounds of herbicides and pesticides. All those chemicals dissipate into the air and come down as pesticide rain or drain into the ocean. Either way, we are poisoning the planet with these chemicals. This is happening in your town too. But we can stop this.

It is obvious that our federal government is not going to protect your family from toxic chemicals.  The current budget proposal will fire 25% of the workforce at the EPA, cut back 31% of their budget, cut 9 staffers focused on endocrine disruptors, and yet hire 10 security detail for new EPA head Scott Pruitt.

Why are they protecting Scott Pruitt but not our babies from sex hormone disrupting chemicals? This is INSANITY!!!!

Some people feel the situation is hopeless.
But that is not true.
YOU are the hope.
WE are the hope.

Two years ago, in January of 2015, representing mothers, I had the opportunity to stand before the Monsanto shareholder meeting and say, "Mr. Grant, you and the EPA say you have hundreds of studies showing the safety of glyphosate. So I requested them by FOIA. Here is an example of just one on white shrimp. The study you commissioned found that white shrimp died at levels above 5.2 ppm of glyphosate in just 4 days. Another study shows that glyphosate remains viable in dark salty water for 315 days.

What's in our womb? Dark salty water. 

What's the size of a six-week old fetus? The size of a shrimp.

How much glyphosate is allowed on sugar? 25 ppm.

Pregnant mothers crave sugar!

You MUST be responsible for the contamination of pregnant mothers and the poisoning of our fetuses!

As a sea of shareholders looked at me uncomfortably, I compared the Danish Ib Pedersen pig study of 30,000 pigs to the current 30% infertility rate of young couples in America.  When the pigs were repeatedly exposed to low levels of glyphosate, there was a 30% increase of birth defects, smaller litters and miscarriages; exactly correlate to our human reproductive issues, which were highest in recorded history in 2014. The anguish and urgency of the situation compelled me to speak out to the shareholders, but I alone could not conduct scientific studies, I alone could not enforce laws.

Zach Bush is co-founder and CEO of Biomic Sciences, LLC, the manufacturer of Restore. He is also Director of Clinical Affairs at the Revolution Health Center in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Recently, Zach and his colleagues published a paper in the Journal of Clinical Nutrition & Dietetics, entitled "Protective Effects of Lignite Extract Supplement on Intestinal Barrier Function in Glyphosate-Mediated Tight Junction Injury."

This paper is a technically challenging read for the layperson, but it contains several powerful��before and after images (Figure 3), which should convince anyone that lignite produces a significant change to cells of the stomach lining after they've been "insulted" by glyphosate.

Many who have purchased Restore from us, which has lignite as its active ingredient, say that this change is a very positive one!

Informe de la gira de conferencias de Japón, marzo 1 - 10

Por Zen Honeycutt, Mamás en todo Estados Unidos

marzo 21,2017

Esperaba ir a Japón para hablar sobre el trabajo de Moms Across America y advertir a las madres sobre los riesgos para la salud de los OGM y las toxinas para que pudieran evitarlos. Teniendo en cuenta la dieta asiática, estaba seguro de que su salud era mucho mejor que la nuestra. Me sorprendió descubrir que los problemas de salud de los niños japoneses, coreanos y filipinos habían superado por mucho a los niños estadounidenses. Más de 500-800 madres se reunieron para mis presentaciones en cada una de las 5 ubicaciones, donde aprendí por qué la multitud era tan grande. 

Japanese children have developmental delays 2x higher than the US. Korean children have autism and developmental delays 2-3x higher. According to the Autism Speaks of Philippines, at least 1 million, or 1 out of 33 children in the Philippines had been diagnosed with autism in 2014 (more without healthcare are likely to have symptoms), which is far worse than our current 1 out of 68 children. I was crushed. I was Angry. I was Outraged.

We want to make sure you are fully informed about the important issues being raised at the National Organic Standards Board meeting in April.

YOU can comment until marzo 30.

New developments do not bode well for Monsanto.

1. A huge win for consumer activists; Monsanto's Roundup and hundreds of other brands containing glyphosate will soon be labeled a "carcinogen" according to a newly passed California State ruling.

2. An EPA staffer, Jess Rowland, has been accused of colluding with Monsanto to downgrade carcinogenic effects of glyphosate. New York Times article aquí.

3. Monsanto has been accused of ghostwriting the Roundup cancer studies which show "safety." 

4. New studies show that Roundup causes liver disease and glyphosate-based herbicides are decisively linked to cancer in Argentina. Another shows endocrine disruptors such as those found in Roundup and glyphosate-based herbicides are the major contributing factor to the drastic decline of the quality of men's sperm.

5. In a groundbreaking turn of events, Moms Across America has been informed that the EPA has confirmed that The National Toxicology Program will, in fact, assess the final formulation of Glyphosate-based herbicides and the EPA will take their assessment into consideration for their review and decision on whether to renew or revoke the license of glyphosate.

Apparently, Bayer is reconsidering their $66 billion dollar offer to merge....

Could this be the beginning of the end of Monsanto?

Have you heard about the passionate crowds filling town hall meetings across the country this week? Maybe you were one of them. If so, send us your story!

More than 1,000 people showed up to Chaffetz’s town hall in Cottonwood Heights, a Salt Lake City suburb and created such a stir the national media picked up the story.

In Michigan, a People’s Campaign member visited Rep. Dave Trott’s office only to be turned away and told by local police that they were trespassing after requesting a meeting. “It’s illegal to go visit your congressperson now?” they wrote in a Facebook live post that has gone viral. Refusing to back down, they held their own town hall. When Rep. Trott refused to show, they put a live chicken at the front of the room to symbolize his unwillingness to participate in the democratic process.

Estalla la oposición comunitaria a Monsanto en el condado de Pima

Tucson, Arizona: febrero 16, 2017 - La comunidad del condado de Pima dice no a Monsanto y sí a las comunidades saludables y seguras. Después de que Monsanto abandonó su oferta por una exención fiscal, los ciudadanos preocupados no se rinden y están más decididos que nunca a mantener fuera a Monsanto.

La comunidad realiza un foro público, un mitin y una conferencia de prensa para rechazar el 'Proyecto Maíz' de Monsanto

Stand Up Against Monsanto Public Forum, Biblioteca Pública de Oro Valley, 1305 W. Naranja Drive.  

El Foro Público exigirá que Monsanto se mantenga fuera del condado de Pima. Melissa Diane Smith, residente del condado de Pima, quien ha hablado en casi todas las reuniones del distrito y de la junta, afirma: “La presión de la comunidad solo aumentará ahora para mantener a Monsanto fuera, la gente está lista para luchar para proteger nuestro precioso desierto, nuestra salud y nuestro medio ambiente. " Los oradores del foro incluyen:

"Infuriating" is not sufficient to describe today's Monsanto shareholder meeting.

In a small room, at the Research and Development facility on Chesterfield Parkway, MO, perhaps 60 people sat in a room with many empty seats, with no audio-cast available for other shareholders. The board and the accounting firm were present. CEO Hugh Grant and David Snively, Executive Vice President and General Council sat at the head of the room.

Anne Temple, Moms Across America Midwest leader, and I sat on the right side with our "hosts" Cami and Billy, near the microphone.

As mothers, we are extremely concerned about the rise in childhood illness, including Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) in children and teens and our family members.

You probably already know that 80% of genetically modified foods, which are in 85% of our processed foods in America, are engineered to withstand Roundup weedkiller. Many do not know, however, that Roundup is also sprayed as a drying agent on nonGMO, non-organic food, and feed crops, for example; wheat, garbanzo beans, lentils, dried beans, tea, sugar and many grains. The EPA allows this chemical product to be sprayed on 158 of our food and feed crops because they have been told it is safe by the manufacturer, they do not conduct their own tests. Food testing has shown levels from 29 ppb in beer, 1500 ppb on Cheerios, 3500 ppb on garbanzo beans,  to 1.67 ppm on oatmeal baby food. It only takes 0.1 ppb to destroy gut bacteria and levels lower than what is allowed on our food cause liver damage. Glyphosate does not wash or peel off.
