For the first time ever, on Monday Sept 22, Dr.OZ took a stand and started a petition for America to stand up against toxic chemicals.



40,000 people signed the Dr.OZ Petition to the President in ONE day! 
What if we could make it 100K in a week???!!!
We are SERIOUS about stopping this toxic product Enlist Duo from being sprayed on our food crops and near schools!



Enlist Duo contains Glyphosate (an antibiotic, chelator and endocrine disruptor...read: weakened immune system, vitamin and mineral deficiency and birth defects and infertility...yes, really) AND 2,4-D ( half of Agent Orange, you know, the chemical that killed 400K in Vietnam and gave birth defects to 500K more) and they want to SPRAY THIS ON OUR FOOD...and on fields just feet away from our schools!

Dr.Oz said "I am very concerned we are at the beginning of a catastrophe."
WE could avert it.
We could share, text, call and ask every friend we know to SIGN this petition.



I was invited to be on the  show and share our message on the stage with Dr. Oz.

It was an eye opening experience. Dr.Oz's courage and committment is in disputable. The Dr.OZ staff are brilliant, committed and impeccable in their attention to detail. I was deeply honored to be a part of the show and be a voice for Moms. It is a groundbreaking episode and moment for America...this is what Dr.OZ did represents for our cause:

A major day time TV figure explains how GMOs=more pesticides.

A prominent doctor  takes a stand against toxic chemicals! 

A mainstream talk show host inspires mainstream America to GET INVOLVED and sign a petition!!!

What a joy to be a part of this.

My story about my children, whose health issues;allergies and autism symptoms, all improved greatly by going GMO free and organic, is OUR story, the story of Moms all across America who are realizing what has happened to their kids. Although criticized for being anecdotal, I ask the reader...who do you trust more? A mom who's only special interest is the well being of her family? Our a corporate chemical giant or GMO scientist who stands to lose their bonus for their beach home?

What I say, what hundreds, if not thousands of our moms say now, about their children's symptoms of allergies, autism, asthma, auto immune disorders and more, all getting better by going GMO free and organic is REAL. No GMO scientist, skeptical reporter or paid blogger is going to convince any of us that what we see before our very eyes is not real. Isn't that what science is about? Observing the reality? 

Why do we share this? We share because Moms care. It is not enough for my children to eat organic. My son's future spouses are out there somewhere, eating the 85% of processed foods which are GMO and sprayed with Glyphosate. We know the third generation of rats that ate GMOs were sterile and that pigs who consumed glyphosate on grains miscarried 30% more and had higher birth defects and smaller litters.

I want my son's future spouses to be able to procreate if they wish someday, and to experience the profound love that it is to have their own child. That love is is what life is all about. It is why Moms do what we do. And we will not stop, we will not give up. The love for our children will never end!

A Report on the Food Safety and Sustainable Agriculture Forum 2014

Beijing, China.



Nirvana Resort, Beijing,China



Food Safety and Sustainable Agriculture Forum Speakers and Organizers

China buys 50% of the GMOs in the world. They are also the world’s largest producers of glyphosate, which GMOs are engineered to withstand. 

China has been told by chemical companies that “American mothers have been feeding their children GMO food for nearly 20 years with no ill health effects.”

However, both GMOs and glyphosate have recently been linked to numerous, horrendous birth defects and skyrocketing illness.

julio 25-26^th 30 international experts gathered in Beijing, China, to an audience of 400 Chinese people interested in the future of China’s food safety and sustainable agriculture. I was deeply honored to attend and speak for many reasons. 

1. I am not a farmer or scientist. To be included to speak before such an influential country with such esteemed scientists and farmers too numerous to list in one sentence, was incredible.  This was made possible not only by the sponsor of the event, but by the supporters of MAA, you Moms and leaders who hosted events, posted, emailed and called on support of our cause, making Moms Across America a coalition that the world has quickly recognized as Unstoppable! THANK YOU!

2. As a half Chinese and half French American mother, I am very proud to be a part of an event coordinate by the country of my mother’s culture and grandfather’s homeland. China's influence in this cause is tremendous.

3. Being able to express the testimonials of the mothers I represent brings me to tears if I think about it.

Moms, as I spoke and shared your testimonials, I assure you, your struggles and triumphs were heard. What you are doing makes a difference not only for your child and family, but for the world. 

Our stories need to be heard for the health and survival of the human race. Being able to share them to a captive audience with the power to do something about it, restores my faith in humanity. Thank you for making this possible.

Bob Streit said at the conference in China "There are two groups the chemical companies and Monsanto do not want to wake up, Mothers, and China. And here we are."

We can do this. We must do this, but most importantly the fact that we choose to do this, means that we are a species deserving of this precious earth. The fact that hundreds of courageous humans gathered to share, learn, plan actions and make a difference together, and that thousands, maybe millions more are working together, makes me proud to raise my sons on this planet.

Many times I am not proud. The information I learned and shared had me confused and ashamed of the actions of human beings. It is baffling that:

Chemical companies that make the poison pesticides which are sprayed on GMO food and as a drying agent on non GMO foods (except organic) are claiming that we must have GMOs to “feed the hungry” yet they completely ignore that we make more food than we need and waste 40% of the food we do eat.  Summarized from  Hans Herren, Switzerland

Nicholas DeFarge of France, Seralini’s Team reported that the only study on Roundup (not just glyphosate)  in the world showed that the adjuvents ( other chemicals) in Roundup make glyphosate 1000 x MORE toxic, resulting in 0.1ppb of glyphosate in the water fed to rats causing sex hormone changes and liver damage in rats.

0.1ppb is half of what is allowed in drinking water in EU and 7 thousand times lower than what is allowed in the USA. The frightening thing is we currently cannot detect lower than 0.5ppb in our drinking water.

Dr. Medardo Avila- Vazquez from Argentina shared that birth defects have tripled in just 9 years, from 1997-2008 in GMO/Glyphosate farming communities.  Currently 21-23% of women have miscarriages, whereas in non farming areas, such as cities, only 3% have miscarriages. Of the women who have miscarriages 9 out of 11 show a positive link to pesticides.  33% of deaths are due to cancer with increased rates in mothers and children by fields. There has been a 258% increase of stomach and pancreatic cancer since GMOs/Glyphosate has been sprayed on their local farms.

Although there has been a 858% increase of toxic agro chemicals, there has been only a 36% increase in yield. This increase in yield does not include the loss of jobs and sustainability however, from chemical companies buying land from under small family farmers and forcibly evicting them off the land.

And yet it is inspiring that:

Elena Sharoykina, Russia shared that Russia has BANNED GMOs. It is unlawful to even print propaganda about GMOS. Putin has made it clear that Russia “will protect it’s citizens from GMOs.”

Elena on the right and Nadja ( translator) on left from Russia

Henry Rowlands UK, shared the expansive plans the Global GMO Free Coalition has to connect and support organizations around the world. We ARE all working together and we ARE unstoppable!

Gottfried Glockner, from Germany, a cow farmer stood his ground against Syngenta lawyers and maintained his integrity by not selling out to their bribes. He remained imprisoned for 18 months after he reported that his cows were harmed and died from BT Toxin GMO corn. He has since won his freedom and his farm back.



Gottfried was imprisoned for 18 months and continues to fight.

Monika Kruger from Germany  shared that charcoal, humeric acid and SUARKRAUT JUICE are being used to heal damaged stomachs of cows who ate glyphosate sprayed GMOs. So treat yourself to raw organic saurkraut with every lunch and dinner! see www.culturedfoodlife.com my favorite website for learning about the importance of cultured foods.

Maewan Ho from the UK explained that  the old science assumed that one could alter DNA  (like a replacing Lego) and have only linear changes, but  now we know that DNA and RNA communicates with cells, protein and genes in the body in a circular, holistic manner. Like living things on the earth, what is happening in our body affects everything around it.  This new perspective gives us new understanding of why GMOs and glyphosate have such an impact on various functions of the body and restores our faith in scientists who are working for the best of life on earth.

While we were at the conference, Ib Pedersen's and Monika Kruger's paper on the deformities of piglets whose mother's were fed GMO soy sprayed with Glyphosate, was released.

See the study information here;

Here are two important links of Ib Pedersen discussing his work and his government's reaction.
For anyone ever interested in becoming pregnant, or your children being able to reproduce, this information is essential.

As I left the conference, I felt a deep sadness to part from what I could only describe as an immediate sense of family. Yet I was filled with inspiration, joy and confidence for the future we are all creating.

I am completely confident that our efforts for health and freedom will prevail, that your efforts to share with your community about GMOs and Glyphosate (and all toxins) is exactly what we need to be doing and is exactly what will have us be successful. Moms are the voice of our communities because a mom’s motivation comes only for what is best for her family. 
I ask you not only to continue, but to step it up.
Ask yourself, what else could I do? 
What is something NEW that I can do to share about GMOs/Gyphosate and Organic food today? 
Join us and host an event on www.momsacrossamerica.com! 

Your support supports a world of health and freedom.
Thank you!
With Love and Gratitude,

Zen honeycutt
Moms Across America.

P.S.  Stayed tuned to our Facebook page for what's next with the EPA and glyphosate!

Moms Across America reads this and is outraged by the lack of precaution the EPA chooses to exercise.

They are NOT protecting our children, but instead choosing to give more importance to the "studies" that show that glyphosate is "safe" by the chemical companies than on independent, world renowned, ( including MIT)  scientists, doctors and moms. This is erring on the side of corruption, not protection.

We gave them studies CLEARLY showing the destruction of the gut bacteria of chickens at .10 ppm by glyphosate, endocrine disruption and testimonials from moms that warrant immediate investigation into glyphosate. 

We will continue to do whatever it takes to protect our children.

Today we go to the EPA, we will stand out side with our message "Recall Roundup!"  and we will offer the EPA and Washington DC Senate staffers an opportunity to find out for free, how much glyphosate is in their body.

If it's so safe, what's the harm in being informed? 

We ask for your continued support of our campaigns. Please chip in and donate to cover transportation and materials.

We are a national coalition of Unstoppable Moms! 

Thank you to ALL Of our supporters!

Nunca en mis sueños más locos me imaginé sentarme con la EPA en Washington DC con un equipo de estimados científicos Ph.D, abogados y madres tan apasionadas como yo por una sustancia química llamada glifosato, que se rocía sobre los OGM y nuestros alimentos. cultivos.

Dr.Michael Hansen, scientist Consumers Union and Aimee Simpson lawyer Beyond Pesticides (not photographed) joined us at the EPA. Also with Anne Dietrich: President Truth in Labeling Coalition,  Sarach Cusack, DC MAA, Alexis Baden-Mayor Lawyer, Organic Consumers Asssoiciation, Zoe Swartz; PA and East Coast Leader MAA, Zen Honeycutt, Founder MAA, Dr. Kristen Pullen scientist Natural Resources Defense Council.

But there we were. Because of your support, your generous donations, your 10,000 + phone calls in 3 days, your posts about and emails to the EPA to recall Roundup, they took us seriously. 9 members of the pesticide Re-Review board listened to 11 of us for 2 hours instead of 1. They listened to your testimonials and the statistics of our health crisis in America. It was intense.

Como estaba bien preparado con una carpeta llena de estudios que Nanette había reunido y habíamos repasado cada punto con un abogado y un científico durante tres horas antes de la reunión, estaba firme, resuelta y clara en nuestras demandas. Hablé con todo el amor de mi corazón por mis hijos y con toda la convicción que las madres tienen en todas partes mientras les contaba las 10 razones por las que deberían retirar del mercado Roundup y los 12 puntos de los daños colaterales propuestos del glifosato.

Sólo para nombrar unos pocos:

El glifosato es un ANTIBIÓTICO patentado. Destruye las bacterias intestinales, donde se encuentra el 70% de nuestro sistema inmunológico.

Sostenemos que esto se correlaciona directamente con la enfermedad de Crohn (intestino dañado), que ha aumentado un 79% sólo en los últimos diez años en niños ingresados en hospitales. La colitis (úlceras de estómago) también se ha triplicado durante este tiempo. Las alergias, el autismo, el sistema autoinmune y el asma ahora afectan a 1 de 3 de nuestros niños.

Es un disruptor endocrino reconocido que causa defectos de nacimiento, infertilidad y esterilidad. 

Actualmente, Estados Unidos ocupa el puesto número 1 en el mundo industrializado en cuanto a muerte infantil el primer día. Tenemos un 50% más de bebés que mueren en su primer día de vida que en todo el mundo industrializado combinado. 

Esto se correlaciona directamente con los cerdos que comieron alimento rociado con OGM/glifosato y perdieron el 30 % de sus crías. Aquellas cerdas con niveles de glifosato 3 X INFERIORES que los niveles de nuestra mamá en la leche materna, tuvieron 5 X MÁS ALTOS defectos de nacimiento, abortos espontáneos y pérdida de crías.

El glifosato ROMPE LA BARRERA DEL SALVADO EN SANGRE: permite que las toxinas entren al cerebro.

Hoy en día, alguien muere de Alzheimer cada 67 segundos en Estados Unidos.

Dentro de 20 años, 1 de 2 de nuestros niños tendrán autismo si continuamos a este ritmo.

El glifosato es un QUELADOR: retiene o "hace que no estén disponibles" los nutrientes vitales de cualquier ser vivo.

La deficiencia de vitaminas es constante en los pacientes con cáncer. El cáncer es ahora la principal causa de muerte entre los niños estadounidenses en la actualidad.

Cada año mueren más niños de cáncer que todas las víctimas de 9/11.

Se espera que 1 de 2 hombres y 1 de 3 mujeres padezcan cáncer en Estados Unidos. Más de 117 millones de estadounidenses padecen cáncer.

Vea las estadísticas completas de daños colaterales propuestos presentadas a la EPA aquí.

Mientras compartía estas estadísticas, todos se dieron cuenta del enorme costo para la salud de Estados Unidos y de cómo se eliminó el beneficio del glifosato químico.

Their eyes displayed dismay, understanding and even searched for more. I saw that we have EPA members on our side. They may not be able to act now, but they want to. They want us to push on and give them the reason to make a bold change. They want their children to be safe as much as you and I.
In other eyes, I saw denial, refusal and resistance. Their resignation weighed heavily in the air. I heard reasons, explanations and infuriating avoidance. I saw fear of change.
Some of the board members refused to see just how urgent this is. They refused to see that we are breastfeeding our babies RIGHT NOW, today and we need for them to be safe. NOW.
Despite our compelling binder of studies  and undeniable evidence through testimonials of mothers of risk of harm, they did not agree to our request to recall Roundup, or revoke the license of glyphosate. They did not agree to issue a simple statement advising mothers to eat organic. 
They did agree however, to continue working with us, to give us the protocol  for the upcoming scientific study of glyphosate in breast milk which was funded as a result of our preliminary testing, supported by Sustainable Pulse. They did agree to ask Monsanto for their breast milk testing that we have word they are conducting. They did agree to include include that study in their review of glyphosate, which happens only once every 15 years.

Espero que comprendan cuán profundo es su apoyo para que su decisión pase de ser una que apoya las ganancias de las corporaciones a otra que proteja la salud de nuestros niños. Podemos hacer historia juntos.

Please continue to send the EPA your demands to recall roundup at [email protected], we will save and collect your experiences and forward them.

Por favor haga una donación en www.momsacrossamerica.com/donate para apoyar más viajes a Washington DC.

Podemos hacer esto. Nuestros próximos pasos son acudir a los altos mandos, al Senado y tomar acciones locales para que el condado y el estado prohíban el Roundup. Y para mantener la presión sobre la EPA.

Each voice, each call, each purchase of organic food, is a step in the direction of health and freedom for generations.
We thank you, wholeheartedly, for your support.

Los resultados de la prueba de glifosato están dentro y los resultados, teniendo en cuenta que la mayoría de las madres y simpatizantes evaluados conocen muy bien los OMG y el glifosato y los han estado evitando durante varios meses o años, son alarmantes.

GRACIAS a todas las madres y simpatizantes que generosamente gastaron el tiempo y el dinero para enviar sus muestras de orina y agua. Gracias a Sustainable Pulse por financiar las pruebas de las muestras de leche materna y a las madres que pagaron por enviar sus muestras durante la noche. .

Resumen:

Once a year in Southern California, the masses of people, 70,000 approximately, converge upon the Anaheim Convention Center to buy and sell natural foods at the NPEW or Natural Products Expo West. I had the opportunity to report on the show as a host of the Weekly Women GMO Free News Show.

You have never seen so many Non GMO Project Verified and USDA Organic  seals in one place. You have never seen so many delightful, happy people talking about how their products are GMO free, organic and Gluten free! As a mother of children with multiple allergies, this is a thrilling development. Trying to find all three, GMO free, organic and Gluten free is like trying to find a needle in a hay stack even in a health food store even in one of the most affluent areas of America. Most products are either gluten free or organic, not both. Or they are Non GMO Project verified but not gluten free or organic.

Why is it so hard to find these foods?

Or more importantly why do we even need gluten free, non GMO and organic?

Is it just a trend or marketing ploy?

When I asked the food manufacturers, many of them said “Organic is the future.” I was surprised that they did not elaborate, talk about pesticides, glyphosate or GMOs. Some like “Good Boy Organics” are fully aware and are actively supporting the grassroots movements. They even go a step further and have BioDynamic pasta sauce! Check it out!

But many others, I suspect, do not know why the trifecta: non GMO,organic and gluten free is so crucial to moms.

1 out of 2 American children now has some form of chronic illness such as asthma, allergies, auto immune disorders, autism, diabetes or obesity. If you do the math, based on past diagnosis, 1 out if 2 children will have autism in the next 20 years. This is a crisis. This is urgent. Moms across America are struggling daily with health and behavioral issues and we want solutions.

Many of us now believe we know those solutions, and the winning food trifecta is a key role.

No GMO

In addition to the over 1300 studies showing GMO harm, found on www.GMOfreeUSA.com, the recent evidence from the *Papel de Samsel y Seneff shows a very strong correlation between glyphosate, the active chemical ingredient in RoundUp and these skyrocketing children’s health issues, (the most widely used pesticide/herbicide in the world) especially autism. Most GMOs are genetically engineered to withstand Roundup, are sprayed repeatedly during growing and these chemical does not wash off. A new Soybean paper showed GMO soy with drastically higher levels of glyphosate, proving it does not evaporate in the sun either. Soil testing has shown glyphosate to still be active a year after use.

Glyphosate has been show to destroy gut bacteria at .10 (one tenth) of a part per million in chickens.

The gut bacteria are the stronghold of 70% of our immune system. If you destroy the gut bacteria, which is likely what is happening when you eat the America diet which is 85% GMO and contaminated with glyphosate, your body’s gut bacteria can no longer produce Tryptophan*.

Without Tryptophan your body cannot produce Seratonin or Melatonin*. Seratonin makes it possible for the body to regulate insulin, so without healthy gut bacteria we are more likely to develop diabetes.  We know that diabetes has increased so much in America that in 13 years we will have no money left in the federal budget for anything except diabetes.

 Melatonin influences sleep, happiness, satiation when eating, impulse control, bi-polar behavior and even acts of violence. Obesity now impacts 40% of Americans, our kids are three times more likely to be drugged for mental illness than kids in other countries, and on average, there has been a school shooting in America every other day this year.  Violence and mental illness is beyond control. Something is impacting the health of America. The USA is the  #1 country in the world in expenditures for health and last on the list  of the top 17 most developed country in actual health results.

orgánico

Organic means Non GMO seeds. It also means toxic pesticide free and glyphosate free.

Non organic is not just a more affordable chice, there is a cost: glyphosate is allowed to be sprayed on the soil before planting non organic crops and directly on many staple crops at harvest as a drying agent. They spray it directly on the non organic food crops we eat! We have recetly learned that the EPA has allowable levels of glyphosate on over 160 foods at hundreds of times higher than has been destroy gut bacteria. See the full list here.Sweet potatoes glyphosatelevels are 3ppm, Potatoes, 5ppm, tea 7ppm, corn 13ppm, and our live stock eats grains at 400 ppm. Glyphosate collects in the tissue of meat, making organic meat a very important choice.

Sin gluten

People with gluten sensitivity report irritability when they consume gluten/wheat. Huge numbers of children with autism have shown dramatically better behavior when gluten is removed from their diets. Many are also reporting autism symptoms dissapear when they eat completely organic. Moms Across America has over a hundred testimonials, many of them about autism.

Glyphosate is sprayed on wheat as a drying agent. Wheat is one of the number one foods of the American diet, in cereals, sandwich breads, pasta, commonly eaten at every meal. Gluten intolerance and Celiac’s disease now affects 18 million Americans. Reports by Samsel y Seneffs show that is most likely not just the highly refined processing of wheat/gluten, that is impacting health, but the glyphosate. This is why the trifecta of Non GMO,organic y gluten free is so important, and why the companies who choose to make these foods, that are ALL THREE, despite the difficulties, are not a trend or duping me with a marketing ploy. They are the winners.

Here is a big winner in our house: Mary's Gone Cracker's GF, organic and Non GMO Project Verified Double Chocolate Cookies

The additional good news, is that in the process, you avoid other toxic chemicals of which we still do not know the effects. Non organic apples are sprayed with 21 different pesticides, strawberries 184, and coffee has tested positive for hundreds of toxic chemicals, more thanany other crop.

So when I find a food company that is Non GMO, organic gluten free and excuse me if I am chirpy, super excited and highlighting them like they are heros of the universe. Because considering that my children are my universe, they are.

Here is OH Yes! Pizza that is Gluten Free and Organic (and therefore GMO Free).

Here are some great finds at the NPEW:

 Next blog will be about the other heros of food, the makers of probiotics, raw organic fermented veges, kombucha and keifer.  We CAN heal our guts and heal from multiple allergies.  Find our more about cultured foods in our next blog.

Here's too good healthy eating!

China tiene un doble estándar con respecto a los OGM. Si bien sus funcionarios tienen un letrero que declara con orgullo que el aceite en su cafetería está libre de OGM, las cafeterías escolares para los hijos de los ciudadanos no.

The sign in the accompanying photo hangs in the corridor of the Ministry of Education building in Beijing. It begins, “Our Canteen Does Not Use Food Containing GM Ingredients.” It further states, “The issue of whether GM food is harmful to human health is currently without consensus within academia. GM food has only appeared [in China] for a short period making it very difficult at present to appropriately assess it's impact on long-term safety. Further research and longer time is required for verification. To eliminate the concerns of diners, and to assure the safety and health of our staff members, our Ministry of Education Office Canteen temporarily will not use food oil containing GM ingredients and GM food materials. Please enjoy your food without any such concern.”

Los funcionarios deben ser conscientes de las posibles implicaciones para la salud de los OMG. ¿Pero son conscientes del mayor riesgo para los niños? Tal vez no saben cómo, en los EE. UU., Que cultiva muchos de los cultivos de OGM que China importa para procesar el aceite de soja con OGM, ¿tiene un nivel permitido por la EPA de 40 ppm de glifosato? El glifosato se rocía sobre los OGM: aceite de canola, algodón, maíz y soja, y como agente de secado en cultivos que no son OGM, como el arroz, el trigo, el maíz, la soja y el azúcar. Y. 10 se ha demostrado que una décima parte de una parte por millón destruye las bacterias intestinales, que es el fuerte soporte de nuestro sistema inmunológico. El glifosato se ha relacionado con el autismo, las alergias, el autoinmune, el asma, la diabetes, la obesidad, el TDAH, los alzheimers y la depresión ... ¿todos los problemas de salud que se están disparando en los niños de Estados Unidos? O ellos? ¿Es por eso que ellos mismos los están evitando?

Moms Across America tiene cientos de testimonios de mamás cuyos hijos están mejorando al irse sin OMG / glifosato. Deseamos que los padres de China también lo sepan. Deseamos que los funcionarios en China entiendan el posible peligro que ponen a su país al permitir que los OMG / glifosato entren en sus cafeterías escolares.

Nuestro país sirve a nuestros niños 31 millones de comidas transgénicas en las escuelas por día. Debe haber cientos de millones más en China.

Es muy probable que cada artículo alimenticio anterior contenga OGM y / o glifosato a niveles miles de veces más altos de lo que se muestra que daña a los animales. ¿Quieres pruebas? Pídale a la FDA que produzca pruebas y resultados.

Y aquí hay una tabla de los niveles permitidos de glifosato permitidos en nuestros cultivos alimentarios:

Una enfermera de la escuela dijo:

"Nuestra escuela en Arkansas tiene 170 de nuestros 600 niños en Educación Especial y esto no incluye a los niños con autismo que están en las aulas regulares. 50% de todos nuestros estudiantes tienen asma o alergias. Ellos TODOS estamos comiendo estas comidas transgénicas y para muchas de ellas son el único alimento que obtienen porque estamos en un área de bajos ingresos y siempre tienen hambre. La comida no tiene suficiente valor nutricional y están siendo devastadas, creo. porque es OGM y productos químicos. Nuestros niños están siendo devastados. Esto tiene que parar ".

 Esto es lo que dicen nuestras mamás.

Testimonios de mamá:

• "Mi hijo ha tenido autismo severo. Como madre soltera que gana alrededor de 40 K, es difícil, pero solo comemos productos orgánicos porque descubrí los OGM hace aproximadamente 2 años. Cuando nos volvimos orgánicos, después de aproximadamente 2 semanas, mi padre pensó que le estaba dando a mi hijo un nuevo medicamento, porque él vio tales mejoras, pero le dije "No, simplemente se volvió orgánico". Este año ingresó a la escuela secundaria y ninguno de sus maestros pudo decir que alguna vez tuvo síntomas graves de autismo. Está en las clases regulares y le está yendo bien ". - Cindy, MAA

• "Fui libre de OGM y después de aproximadamente un mes, mis síntomas de Fibromyaglia desaparecieron". - Belinda

• "Tuve una enfermedad autoinmune durante 8 años. Estaba tomando diferentes medicamentos para la misma y realmente me operaron. Fue una pesadilla viviente. Tomé los OGM de mi dieta casi por completo hace 8 meses y los síntomas algunos de mi familia piensan que estoy loco por publicar tantas publicaciones de alimentos sobre los OGM, pero sé de primera mano lo devastadores que son los efectos. Los médicos dijeron que no hay cura para mi enfermedad. Encontré la cura ... deje de comer OGM !!!! "- Morgan M.

• "Mi hijo tenía un sarpullido alrededor de la boca de vez en cuando, pero desde que dejó los OGM ya no tiene ese problema. La barriga de mi hija solía hincharse después de las comidas y le dolía el vientre. Ella no tiene esos después de las comidas desde que abandonamos los OGM. Solía sentir que mi piel se erizaba, pero ya no lo tengo desde que no los OGM ". - Laurie O., WA. , MAA

•  “Mi hijo come ahora sin OGM y orgánico y ya no vomita después de comer. Creo que las publicaciones de las mamás sobre los OGM en Facebook salvaron la vida de mi hijo ". - Jennifer L.

• Mi hijo de 7 años fue diagnosticado con asma y necesitó anteojos dentro de dos semanas. Empecé a aprender sobre el asma y las formas naturales de controlarlo. Luego me enteré de los OMG. Quité a mi familia de los alimentos / bebidas transgénicos. Mi 7 año pasó de necesitar un nebulizador 3 x al día para nada. Su asma desapareció. También ya no tenía el estigmatismo que requería anteojos. El ojo que el Dr. dijo que debe haber tenido "algún tipo de inflamación" que ahora desapareció por cualquier razón. La razón fue eliminar los OMG de nuestras dietas. Fue recomendado para retención el año pasado. Este año, él está en la cima de su clase. Karen L. ~ Mamás en todo Estados Unidos

We understand China is rejecting SOME GMO crops see link here: http://rt.com/news/china-rejects-us-corn-087/ 

pero de madre a padre-oficial, le pedimos que reconsidere rechazar todos los cultivos de OGM. Entendemos que, debido a la oferta, tendrá que ser un proceso lento, pero POR FAVOR comience con sus escuelas. No queremos ver a los niños de China terminar como los niños de América.

Se proyecta que 1 de 2 niños tendrán autismo en los próximos 20 años o antes. Esto no puede suceder. ¿Cómo será nuestro país? ¿Cómo sería nuestra sociedad, fuerzas armadas, fuerza laboral y economía? ¿Quién se encargará de los padres ancianos o de los hijos y continuará con el éxito de nuestros países?

 Para los funcionarios que desean obtener más datos científicos, aquí hay un estudio sobre cómo el glifosato contribuyó al crecimiento excesivo de bacterias mortales al destruir las bacterias intestinales benignas en niveles inferiores a lo permitido en nuestros cultivos alimentarios.

HAGA CLIC AQUÍ para estudiar pollos y glifosato.

Instamos a todos los países a que dejen de permitir aceites, alimentos, cultivos y alimentos para animales transgénicos en su país, pero particularmente a China, ya que importan tantos alimentos transgénicos para alimentar a tantos. Tienes la mayor influencia en la industria de GM. Escuche los gritos de la madre estadounidense que, desde la introducción de los OGM y el glifosato en nuestro suministro de alimentos 20 hace años, está lidiando con la disbiosis intestinal en sus hijos a niveles extraodinariamente altos, lo que resulta en autismo, trastornos autoinmunes, alergias, SII , Enfermedad de Chrohn, y contribuyen al asma, depresión, bipolar, actos de violencia, obesidad, diabetes y posiblemente el aumento de cánceres infantiles.

No se ha demostrado que los estudios a largo plazo demuestren que los OGM y el glifosato, que se encuentran en el 85% de nuestros alimentos procesados, no son responsables de que EE. UU. Sea el ÚLTIMO en la lista de los 17 países más desarrollados para la salud.

NO se han realizado estudios para demostrar que los OMG y el glifosato no son responsables del deterioro devastador de la salud de nuestros hijos.

Creemos que los OGM y el Glifosato están comprometiendo a toda una generación de nuestros niños, porque vemos los resultados todos los días.

Millones de madres, 1 de 50, luchan todos los días con niños que no pueden controlar su comportamiento en público o en el hogar, que actúan violentamente hacia los miembros de la familia, manchan heces en las paredes, tendencias sexuales inapropiadas, tics y movimientos incontrolables, no puede controlar su micción incluso cuando son adolescentes. Los niños que no mostraron ningún problema de salud y de repente no hablaron, no hicieron contacto visual o cuyo desempeño en la escuela se desplomó repentinamente. Nuestros niños están siendo comprometidos por el autismo. Sufren de una miríada de problemas de salud. Hay una epidemia silenciosa en los Estados Unidos. 1 de 2 de nuestros niños ahora tienen alguna forma de enfermedad crónica en Estados Unidos. Pedimos, como madres, para ustedes, padres, funcionarios en China y en países de todo el mundo, que protejan a sus hijos de nuestra raza humana.

Thank you.

"Mi historia incluye algunas cosas que podrían molestar a algunas personas, lo siento si es así, pero es la verdad. Estoy compartiendo algunas cosas muy personales con ustedes porque soy real y los efectos de los OMG en mi vida han sido profundos". Si los OGM fueran etiquetados, podría haber salvado la vida de mi hijo.

Todo comenzó hace unos tres años en el otoño de 2010, alrededor del Día de Acción de Gracias, cuando nuestro hijo tenía 22 años. Se había mudado con mi esposo y yo casi tres años antes. Me dijo que tenía problemas gastrointestinales, predominantemente diarrea que no parecía desaparecer. Al principio pensé que era un posible virus intestinal que desaparecería por sí solo. Lo animé a tomar muchos líquidos y comencé a preguntarle qué había estado comiendo.

Después de que las vacaciones de Navidad habían ido y venido, Joe no estaba mejor. Había limpiado mi refrigerador de todo lo que había expirado. Mi esposo hizo un poco de mantenimiento en nuestro lavaplatos e incluso lavé temporalmente todos los platos a mano. Nada parecía ayudar.

Después del comienzo del año nuevo, Joe fue al médico para averiguar qué estaba causando su enfermedad. Los resultados de las pruebas para bacterias, virus o parásitos se realizaron y todo se mostró "normal". Era cualquier cosa menos.

No había oído hablar de los OGM, ni sabía mucho sobre lo que se estaba haciendo con nuestra comida. Ojalá supiera entonces, lo que sé ahora y eso es lo que me obliga a compartir esto con ustedes. Sin embargo, no aprendí sobre los OGM hasta mucho más tarde en mi historia.

El marzo 4, 2011, era el 23 cumpleaños de Joe y también fue el día en que se quitó la vida.

I did a tribute to Joe, one week after his memorial service.  In Memory of Joe show notes share Joe’s picutre and the credits for the music used in the tribute.  It was a special edition of my podcast, Ba Ba Blacksheep. See the link below for podcast.

 ¿Sabía que el suicidio afecta al 20% de las personas en los Estados Unidos?

Recent research suggests a connection between our intestinal flora and our brain, especially with respect to depression.

OMG Triptófano Seratonin - Jeffrey Smith, Director Ejecutivo del Instituto de Tecnología Responsable entrevista a Stephanie Seneff, PhD

Estaba alimentando a mi hijo con alimentos llenos de toxinas y productos químicos que nunca hubiera imaginado que estarían permitidos en nuestra comida. Así que una parte de mí siempre se sentirá culpable por no haber aprendido más y cambiar la dieta de Joe a orgánica ". -Diane

¿Cómo podría haberlo sabido? Ella no pudo! NADIE piensa buscar ingredientes que no conocen. NADIE puede saber si un ingrediente está en un producto si no está etiquetado. ¡NADIE puede conectar un ingrediente potencialmente mortal a la enfermedad de un miembro de su familia si NO ES ETIQUETADO y NO SABEN que se lo están alimentando! ¡NINGUNO!

Esto es exactamente por qué la oposición NO QUIERE los OGM etiquetados, sin embargo, no quieren que podamos vincular sus ingredientes con nuestras enfermedades. Porque entonces pierden dinero.

Las madres no permitiremos que el dinero o la negación nos detengan. Tenemos el don de gab. Venimos del amor. Compartiremos.

Agradecemos a Diane por su coraje, autenticidad y extraordinario acto de generosidad al compartir esta historia y al crear un sitio web para empoderar a otros.
