Making the Connection: How Herbicide Use Correlates to Modern Disease

July 3, 2018 – Dr. Stepanie Seneff of MIT, has conducted research for a number of years to identify correlations in modern disease and attribute them to a trajectory on environmental changes. She has done so with regard to the widely used herbicide “Roundup” and its constituent chemical glyphosate. What Dr. Seneff discusses is how glyphosate is “mistaken” in the body for a glycine and how proteins can become misfolded–leading to a number of illnesses–including prion disease, or mad cow disease.

In her research, she found what appears to correlations between the timing of the increased use of the widely used herbicide–Roundup–and its chemical constituent “glyphosate” and increase in the trajectories that she believes correlate with the uptick in modern diseases including: cancer, non-hodgkins lymphoma, diabetes and even autism. The prevalence of glyphosate is now detectable in the food and water supply, even falling rain. More maddening, is that Europe sets lower thresholds as to what is acceptable in their food and water, but not the US.

Moreover, the World Health Organization research arm, the IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer) in 2015 had issued a paper that classified “glyphosate” as a “probable” human carcinogen–thereby stirring controversy over a purported cancer link–and the issue is currently still in litigation. Ongoing lawsuits are dotting the nation as injured and dying plaintiff’s want their day in court.

What Dr. Seneff is saying, is that glyphosate is insidious, and as a metal chelator, which was the original purpose of the chemical’s invention–as a pipe cleaner, it pulls out unwanted heavy metals and deposits them in the target organism–those who come in contact with it, as well as the environment.

Although Dr. Seneff readily admits that “correlation does not equate to causation”–yet, the findings are striking. Never before has such environmental and chemical persistence been found in food, water and even vaccine substrates which she believes deposits heavy metals into the children, causing permeability in the gut and crossing the blood-brain barrier due to the heavy metal and chelation effect of the chemical. Research done by Dr. Seneff and her colleagues have even detected glyphosate in bones of animals tested, and are working on acquiring access to human bone to detect cumulative effects of the chemical.

Ongoing litigation by those who claim they have been harmed by Monsanto’s Roundup, and its active chemical glyphosate are fighting a fierce battle across the nation. For more information, on this story and the ongoing litigation, contact us at info@TheLegalEdition.com
