Round Up is Wrecking Ball on the Human Body

Round Up is Wrecking Ball on the Human Body

Dr. Stephanie Seneff, an MIT senior research scientist, and environmental toxins expert are known for having documented the link between glyphosate and autism. She also believes that glyphosate is responsible for many other chronic diseases whose rates have soared in recent years, since the introduction of glyphosate. Dr. Seneff labels glyphosate as “the most significant chemical used today,” and one that has the effect of a “wrecking ball” on the human body. 1

Exposure to glyphosate has been shown to have the following effects on human physiology:  2  3

  • acts as an antibiotic (glyphosate was patented as an antibiotic)
  • chelates important minerals (iron, cobalt, manganese; glyphosate patented as a mineral chelator)https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0300483X09003047
  • decimates the microflora and its ability to produce essential amino acids like tryptophan that converts to serotonin
  • disrupts the microbiome in the intestine, by disrupting the shikimate pathway, causing a decrease in the ratio of beneficial to harmful bacteria
  • inhibition of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes
  • disrupts sulfate synthesis and sulfate transport
  • impairs methylation pathways
  • interferes with synthesis of aromatic amino acids and methionine, which leads to shortages in neurotransmitters and folate
  • inhibition of pituitary release of thyroid stimulating hormone
  • toxic and endocrine disruptors in human cell lines  4

Glyphosate exposure has also been associated with the development of various cancers.  The World Health Organization International Agency for Research on Cancer published a summary in March 2015 that classified glyphosate as a probable carcinogen in humans.  5  The possible cancers linked to glyphosate exposure include:

  • non-Hodgkin lymphoma
  • pancreatic islet-cell adenoma
  • renal tubule carcinoma
  • skin tumors

Detoxing Glyphosate

Based on the scientific studies to-date, there are a number of natural substances that have shown positive results in detoxifying and reducing the toxic effects of glyphosate exposure.
