Fight Glyphosate In Your Gut

Glyphosate Detox

If we’re not directly eating glyphosate-sprayed crops, then we’re inhaling it, or drinking it (or even bathing in it). There is quite literally no way to escape the glyphosate chemical giant Monsanto (now owned by Bayer) has created. 

Here’s the steps to take to detox: 

1. Eating Cleaner Foods. 

  • Choosing the organic or pesticide-free label. 
  • Seeking out stores that sell local produce labeled pesticide free. *Shopping in-season helps to reduce the costs. 
  • Shopping the regular sales at THRIVE MARKET seeking out the CHOSEN brand. 
  • Getting meats and eggs from local farmers.
  • **Eliminating refined sugar – specifically GMO beet sugar is important as well!

“Herbs such as cilantro help us to eliminate metals such as lead and mercury. Herbs like turmeric and garlic help to lower the levels of inflammation that are often the underlying causes [of chronic diseases” -Dr. Robert Zieve, an integrative medicine expert and medical director of Partners in Integrative Cancer Therapies, in Prescott, AZ 

2. Sipping Ferments. 

Apple Cider Vinegar , Sauerkraut juice and Kombucha contain a beneficial bacteria that neutralizes glyphosate! That is absolutely amazing! 

Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, MD, ““With every mouthful of sauerkraut you’re consuming billions of beneficial microbes which will be killing the pathogens in your gut driving them out and replenishing the beneficial flora in your digestive tract.”

3. Regular Detox Baths (with filtered water).

1/4 cup of Epson salts or baking soda or apple cider vinegar on a regular schedule has helped tremendously ESPECIALLY during the weeks before harvest as the fields around us are sprayed intensively with Glyphosate. 20 minute soak – or for our kids “until they get ‘wrinkly’. 

4. Restore balance. Support Natural Detox.

We have added a new element to our routine. Toxic exposure is constant and even with a clean diet, sneaking in ferments (which is really hard to do with young children) and doing regular detox baths its not enough to overcome the hurtle of these health issues. We are calling in reinforcements. 
As a family we are adding Biome Medic a product specifically designed to tackle glyphosate toxicity to help flush harmful toxins, support “good” bacteria and repair your microbiome.
