Publicado en la revista "In Good Tilth" de Oregon enero 2014
Era el Día de Acción de Gracias y mi hijo de cinco años se sentó frente a mí en la mesa festiva. Aunque rodeado de dieciocho primos y familiares joviales, parecía completamente miserable. Con un bocado de relleno salado, debería haber sido feliz. En cambio, en segundos su cuerpo entero estaba hinchado como una frambuesa; rojo e inflamado. Sus ojos se llenaron de lágrimas y se dejó caer como una muñeca de trapo. Descubrimos que había pacanas en el relleno. Mi hijo estaba al borde de la muerte. Me apresuré a encontrar el Epi-Pen y mi esposo lo clavó en la pierna de mi hijo. Lo tiré y la sangre brotó de su pierna. Lo llevamos rápidamente al hospital, los dos llorando mientras mi hijo gemía en el asiento trasero. Mientras estaba conectado a esteroides y monitores, oramos a Dios por su vida.
No perdí a mi hijo ese día, pero esto sucedió más de una vez en los últimos cinco años y sucede miles de veces al año a las familias estadounidenses. Nuestros hijos podrían morir de comida. No teníamos alergias como esta cuando éramos niños. Algo ha cambiado y no es la genética. Ni mi esposo ni yo teníamos alergias a los alimentos.
Mi hijo desarrolló más alergias, incluida una de carragenina, un espesante de alimentos con algas marinas, que puede causar un crecimiento lento de úlceras y cáncer de estómago. Este fue el colmo para mí. Ya no "toleraría" las alergias a los alimentos. Cuando mi hijo deseaba que sus alergias "desaparecieran", en lugar de resignarse y dudar, me pregunté: "¿Y si pudieran? ¿Qué podemos hacer al respecto?"
Just this week my son accidentally ate a walnut in some granola. Instead of puffing up, being stabbed with an EpiPen and nearly dying, he said ��Mom, my tongue itches.” His stomach felt a little queasy. I called the doctor, gave him Benedryl and some Chinese herbs and he went to school two hours later. His allergy had been reduced from life-threatening to mild. In addition, his allergic reactions to Carageenan are completely gone. What made the difference?
We found out about GMOs. We ate organic for the past year. He chose to drink an organic green drink every morning to heal his stomach. His gut and therefore his immune system, is growing stronger and his allergies are disappearing. His walnut allergy has gone from a 19 down to a .2. This is not a scientific study, this is our family’s reality. His healing is a triumph over toxic food and resignation. It is a triumph of the human spirit.
El vínculo entre los OGM y numerosos problemas de salud infantil, tanto las experiencias personales como la investigación de la charla TEDx de Robyn O'Brien y la "Ruleta Genética" de Jeffrey M. Smith, junto con el amor por mis hijos, me inspiraron a crear Moms Across America, un nacional coalición de mamás imparables. Nuestro objetivo es capacitar a millones para que se eduquen sobre los OMG, etiquetarlos y ofrecer soluciones orgánicas y sin OMG. En asociación con LabelGMOs.org, compañera de tres hijos de OC, Kathleen Hallal, y con patrocinadores como NYR Organic, Dr. Bronner, Organic Valley, Nutivia, Nature's Path y cientos de madres en todo Estados Unidos, nuestro objetivo es transformar la comida. industria y el futuro de América. Nuestro lema es "Madres empoderadas, niños sanos".
Ahora sabemos que 1 de 2 de nuestros niños tendrán autismo en los próximos 20 años si continuamos al ritmo actual. Millones más tendrán alergias, diabetes y numerosas enfermedades crónicas. Sin embargo, cientos de madres han presentado testimonios en nuestro sitio web de que los síntomas de sus hijos de autismo, alergias, trastornos autoinmunes, asma, SII, obesidad y más drásticamente reducidos o desaparecieron después de liberarse de OGM en unas pocas semanas a unos pocos meses. No suprimiremos este descubrimiento. Lo compartiremos
Everything we do is because we love our families. Moms from 44 states took on leadership and marched in 172 parades this last julio 4th, carrying banners that said Moms Across America March to Label GMOs reaching approximately 1. 5 million people. This year our goal is 400 parades. We will reach 5,000 to 50,000 townspeople locally and tens of millions nationally in a single day. We will take part in the most patriotic, fun, festive, family-friendly event in America and march for health and freedom in America.
Todos queremos estar sanos, en cada ciudad, en cada estado, en cada país y en cada nación, queremos salud y bienestar para nuestras familias. Queremos esto porque amamos, especialmente a las mamás. Las mamás compran 85% de la comida y asumen la mayor parte de la planificación y preparación de las comidas para sus seres queridos. Las mamás son la fuente de nuestra salud y nuestro suministro de alimentos. Necesitamos que las mamás sepan sobre los OGM y las soluciones orgánicas. Te invitamos a apoyar la creación de salud y libertad en Estados Unidos al unirte a nosotros, donar, patrocinar y ser voluntario, porque este es nuestro país, nuestros hijos y el futuro nos pertenece.

The organization's mission is to educate and empower mothers and others with actions and solutions to create healthy communities and has had over 100 million impressions on social media and beyond. Zen instigated the first consumer-funded glyphosate testing in America which has led to over 60 countries and hundreds of cities, homeowners associations, and school districts banning or restricting the use of glyphosate. Moms Across America successfully petitioned Costco to remove Roundup from their shelves, leading to nationwide awareness of alternatives to Roundup and the benefits of regenerative organic farming.
Zen’s inspiration came from her three boys who had allergies, autoimmune, asthma, and autism symptoms, which greatly improved when they went GMO-free and organic. She then instigated a national and global movement to transform the food supply. Through the expansion of the nationwide and now global network, with over 100 million impressions over the past 11 years, her team discovered that thousands of other Moms are seeing the similar results from avoiding GMOs and eating organic.
Zen is the author of UNSTOPPABLE, Transforming Sickness and Struggle into Triumph, Empowerment, and Celebration of Community. She was also the director of a short film called El aumento de las comunidades and recently launched a new non-profit pilot program called “The Neighborhood Food Network” to create a parallel food system, one street at a time.
Zen has received numerous activism awards, has been featured in mainstream media news networks such as CNN, NBC, CBS and ABC, over a dozen documentaries such as BOUGHT, Secret Ingredients, Modified, and Common Ground, in hundreds of podcasts, and other media outlets. She has served on the board of the California Organic Products Advisory Committee of the Secretary of Agriculture and works with the former Minister of Agriculture of Japan and hundreds of activists in Japan to transform the global food supply.
Zen, formerly of Connecticut, New York City, and California, currently resides in North Carolina. She has three sons –Ben, Bodee, and Bronson, who grow food with her, along with thirty-six farm animals.
