Are you ready to kick neurotoxins to the curb?

[SilentEchoes]

You can start by not eating them and clean up your diet. The next step is to remove neurotoxins from your personal care and cleaning products.

Edit: Would you be more motivated to change your lifestyle if you understood how Roundup is used and why it's poison?

Roundup kills any actively growing plant it's sprayed on. This means the leaves. Trees are generally resistant because of their trunk. My pine trees were decimated though.

Roundup is a systemic herbicide. It's taken up in the leaves and roots and transported throughout the plant. You can't wash it off. GMOs are genetically engineered to resist Roundup (e.g., soybeans, corn, sugar beets, canola, and cotton). Farmers artificially end the growing season by "burning down" the crop instead of waiting for the first freeze and the end of the natural lifecycle of the plant. It also makes harvesting more efficient. When a plant is poisoned it sends all of its energy into maturing seed - potentially increasing yield. This is how our wheat, barley, oats, rye, melons, sugar cane and many other food crops are managed.

GMOs can't be burned down with Roundup. Farmers use Paraquat to terminate the GMO growing season. Paraquat is extremely hazardous, it is a restricted use pesticide and you need a license to buy it. You won't encounter it unless you are unfortunate enough to be in the area where it's being used. The really disturbing thing is that Paraquat is aerially sprayed. Pesticides never stay where you put them. They drift, runoff in the water, move through soil erosion and bioaccumulate in our food systems and our bodies. Glyphosate has been found in breast milk.

Why is Roundup so dangerous? Glyphosate is an organophosphate pesticide (OPP) which contains cyanide. Here's Monsanto's patent - patents.google.com/patent/W...

Which reads: That cyanophosphonate derivative product can subsequently be hydrogenated to produce an aminomethylphosphonate derivative.

Scroll down to Citations and you will find glyphosate. Monsanto is skilled at hiding the peanut. ebi.ac.uk/chebi/searchId.do...

The TOXIC metabolite of Glyphosate is AMPA. sciencedirect.com/science/a...

Again, Monsanto hides the identity of glyphosate's toxic metabolite with nomenclature stating explicitly that it is NOT the same as the AMPA glutamate receptors on nerve cells - but it is.

N-phosphonomethylglycine (glyphosate) is practically insoluble in water and is formulated as a "salt" typically the mono(isopropylammonium) (“IPA”). Fun fact, the nerve agent sarin, also contains IPA.

An amine is an organic derivative of ammonia (NH 3) where one or more of the hydrogen atoms is replaced with a carbon group. When you replace a hydrogen with carbon you get CNH2. That's hydrogen cyanide. Hydrocarbons are compounds containing hydrogen and carbon. These are typically the chief components in many types of fuels. Exposure to these substances can cause significant health risks.

Please read this very informative link.

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK4...

From the label of the product I was poisoned with: ACTIVE INGREDIENT:

*Glyphosate, N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine, in the form of its isopropylamine salt 41.0% "Contains 480 grams per litre or 4 pounds per U.S. gallon of the active ingredient glyphosate, in the form of its isopropylamine salt. Equivalent to 356 grams per litre or 3 pounds per U.S. gallon of the acid, glyphosate. OTHER INGREDIENTS: 59.0%

100.0%

A gallon weighs 8.33 lbs. It's confusing how this is stated, but as I read it glyphosate makes up 3 lbs and IPA makes 1 lb of the compound. What is the remaining 59%? It's a surfactant called POEA (polyoxyethylene tallow amine) with known toxic effects - it's not regulated by the EPA and it's chemical make up is protected as a trade secret. It is labeled as inert or an adjuvant.

POEA was added to the original formulation of the herbicide glyphosate to aid in its application and effectiveness at controlling weeds.

Fact: as an herbicide, glyphosate is practically useless without POEA, which breaks down the cell wall enabling glyphosate to enter. We know detergents kill insects and fish. So what's really the herbicide/insecticide in the product? Isn't this regulatory fraud?

POEA is reported to contain PFAS (per and polyfluoroalkyl substances) a group of synthetic organofluorine chemical compounds that have multiple fluorine atoms attached to an alkyl chain.

There is a scientific principle that states: Similar compounds have similar modes of actions. Roundup in formulation is a nerve agent similar to Sarin.

If you knew something was poisoning you - would you keep eating it?

For what it's worth, there's no effing way Roundup Original II didn't cause my ALS or cause/contribute to your PD.

And then from your body! I have had mold in my home and mycotoxins in Urine. Lowered substantially by running air purifiers 24/7, and taking binders. Still there, but much reduced...

[Sampson7 in reply to rebtar]

What do you take for binders, please?

Where in the world can you get a list of these things? They seem to be everywhere and nowhere that would be naturally suggestive.

There's one I suspect. Laundry products that are conditioners like fabric conditioners things that stop cling too. Every time I'm anywhere near those packages it seems to be my hands become very slippery and waxy and dry that's the first clue the second clue is that will great many manufacturers of wrinkle products and laundry conditioners or fabric conditioners refuse to tell you what's in them. This is completely true about anything like dryer sheets. And just handling them out of the box or just even handling the box, no matter how I scrub and wash I can't get that slippery stuff off it's just layered on my hands and that's before the dryer. No things that are slippery that way are either going to be waxes and parabens, or they're going to be pfoas, and PF always are the forever chemicals that can never get out of your body once they're in you can't filter them you can't move them because nothing will grab on to them, ions do not affect them because their own ions grab and bond so incredibly effectively with such strength, that is exactly the property that renders them non-stick and permanent, your body cannot chemically detach or break down or filter them out. They just collect and clog and then eventually the functions of your cells and systems are so damaged that they attract your immune system or clog up your DNA by displacing DNA and our components (and chemical terms, and in DNA protein terms, called "mutation.") Get enough mutations and molecules who's conformation have changed and they can't be accessed or fit their chemical process partners now become junk in the road, your body will signal itself to attack and destroy the mutants. Now what's left and may turn into tangles, neurofibrary tangles, detritus, proteins with altered handles (conformations altered, the angles of bonds or the distances brtween bonds changed rendering the whole molecule completely different in many respects so that their physical chemical functions and interactions with other molecules can no longer work and so now they become troublesome garbage in the works, like a multi vehicle car freeway crash) proteins, amyloids, and just bulk that can't be grabbed. After a while the immune system decides that the cells are alien and must be killed. Or the cells themselves realize they cannot function and start their automatic self-destruct sequences, kind of like on Star trek, auto destruct... "programmed cell death". Other forms of the same set of processes can instead result in cancer.

Our unfortunate friend silent echoes is a perfect example of all of these, only his particular acute massive dosing had to do with all the manifestations that happen with a gross excess of chlorine in the molecules and it was sometimes with sulfur sometimes with nitrogen, combining with the carbon to muck up so many necessary processes, including utilization of oxygen. All those necessary molecules cell substances and elements conform in ways then that his normal processes cannot absorb and deal with, and then with all the crud, critical structures and processes fail and the whole thing snowballs in a hundred different directions. Where's my University Chancellor when I was in undergraduate back in the early '70s used to say, (he was a physician by traing) environmental pollution, but she predicted would be a major downfall of all of us in future decades eventually.

[SilentEchoes in reply to MarionP]

You are spot on. I'm female btw 😊. I don't know that it's feasible to compile a list. I don't buy anything synthetic if it can be avoided. EWG has a very good database to find out how different products rank. ewg.org/who-we-are

I became extremely chemically sensitive after my poisoning. I didn't just lose my sense of smell and taste, I gained the superpower of being able to detect noxious odors normal people can't smell and it triggers an asthma like episode that resolves when I get away from the triggering chemicals.

I still taste sweet, sour, salty, bitter, but not umami. This is regulated by the Trigeminal nerve. I'm over sensitive to strong bitterness and sour tastes.

After a while you learn what to avoid but sometimes I get ambushed by a situation I can't control or family that refuse to accommodate my needs. It seems people can understand and accept food sensitivity but not chemical sensitivity.

We have a long way to go in decreasing our dependence on processed and synthetic products.

[MarionP in reply to SilentEchoes]

Oh sorry. Next time I'll look closer.

How ignorant: Food sensitivity IS chemical sensitivity. There is no difference.

[MBAnderson in reply to SilentEchoes]

Thanks for bringing EWG to our attention.

[rebtar in reply to MarionP]

EWG environmental working group has lists of personal and household products rated for toxicity level.

Oh, now I see it was mentioned.

Check for mold in your home and mycotoxins in your body.

I lowered my mycotoxin load a lot using a citrus pectin supplement and running air purifiers.

[Sampson7 in reply to rebtar]

How does one check for mycotoxins in their body?

[rebtar in reply to rebtar]

There are two labs that I know of for urine testing: Realtime and Mosaic.

[MarionP]

Here are some really fun reading, since we were talking a little bit at some point about glyphosate. The article is centered around Europe, however glyphosate is used exactly for the same purposes and even much more broadly in the Western hemisphere, and especially in the United states. I've referred to the use of glyphosate not as a weed killer, but as an industrial agricultural crop desiccant which is used immediately prior to harvesting grains, wheat, etc. The article is a generic description but oh so fascinating. Think later I will go and have a little bit of Roundup beer.

Thank you for this information!! We have a friend who rents out part of his land to a garbanzo bean farmer. Several years ago he told us that the farmer, in the fall, sprays his garbanzo fields with Round-up to get the beans “dried out” so he can harvest.

I don’t know for a fact, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this “drying” method is used on other legumes besides garbanzos!!!

Moral of the “story” ~ another reason to eat organic,

I frequently look at the EWG sight and I have never seen legumes on their list. They have good and helpful information but we still need to keep doing our own research!! Nothing is full proof!!

Have a fabulous day!!!

[rebtar in reply to Lizzy9]

ewg now has beans lentils and peas, by brand.

[Lizzy9 in reply to rebtar]

Thanks for the update! I’ll check out what they say.

Have a fabulous day!!

Thanks for this. It took me back to this medical intuitive Thomas Moore who is huge on glysophate, plastics, and other toxins and what they do to the body, and on helping people clear them out. I may have to book in with him again (did it years ago, but was at a very very low ebb and was overwhelmed by the list of supplements, most of which were American and very expensive in the UK. And I wasn't ready to muscle test my foods, which is kind of a deal breaker when working with him. But I can see that it really can be contributing to PD so it is worth it.)
