The ever-increasing presence of Glyphosate
Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto’s ‘flagship product’ Roundup®–now owned by Bayer Pharmaceuticals [1], apparently has contaminated every last bastion of healthful food production and naturally-grown field crops.
The latest and most unfortunate producer of clean and organic grain products, Bob’s Red Mill of Oregon, has been sued over the findings of glyphosate in its “organic oatmeal.”

The ever-increasing confirmation of glyphosate in just about everything consumers put into our bodies, i.e., food, water, medicinal products—even vaccines, now is being confirmed in organic foods! Grains, in particular!
Dr. Anthony Samsel, PhD, is the researcher who verified finding glyphosate in vaccines, as he reports in the following video.

Currently, there is an online Petition “Tell the National School Boards Association: No More Monsanto Roundup Weedkiller!,” which consumers—parents, in particular—may want to sign here.
The above Petition claims,
In the U.S., more than 26 million pounds of Roundup are sprayed every year on school grounds, public playgrounds and gardens.
[Is that a form of corporate- and government-officially-sanctioned child endangerment?]

Someone should get a similar Petition going for all states road maintenance, etc. departments NOT TO SPRAY Roundup or any carcinogenic product(s) to destroy/kill roadside vegetation.
Personally, I think that’s a logical and public health issue, which should be made federal law enacted by the U.S. Congress. Where are the EPA and HHS on that national public health-impacting issue?
Finally, are there any remedial programs to eliminate the soil, earth and growing fields from glyphosate and its residues besides stop using it?
I found the following posted in December 2011by Sweet Bay Farm (TURNING DEPLETED CROPLAND INTO FERTILE PASTURE):
Our Remediation Plan
Glyphosate remediation was a big conversation topic at the Acres USA conference. By the end of the conference, the consensus landed on a “silver buckshot” approach. The approach was to do everything possible to (1) rejuvenate the beneficial soil organisms that will eventually degrade glyphosate and (2) add soil amendments that can help with detoxification. We were happy to learn that we’re already doing most of them! Here’s our plan:
- Inoculate seeds with beneficial microbes such as mycorrhyzae, nitrogen-fixing bacteria for legumes, etc.
- Spray microbe inoculants on the fields, especially inoculants that contain pseudomona bacteria. Pseudomona are easily wiped out by glyphosate, and some species are known to be detoxifiers.
- Include a microbe stimulant, such as molasses or sugar, in the spray mix. This gives the microbes an extra leg up.
- Bring back tillage. No-till farming, especially when combined with GMO crops, glyphosate, and few to no winter cover crops, tends to shut down the soil biology. Open the soils up to counteract this effect and to wake up the microbes.
- Amend the soil with humates. Humates are ancient organic matter that has decomposed as far as possible. It’s soft coal, known as leonardite or lignite in the drilling professions. Each microscopic humic acid molecule contains dozens of functional molecular groups and around 100 negatively charged sites that can bind with agricultural chemicals. Humates also add black organic matter (humus) to the soil and provide a nice home for microbes.
Is there hope for ridding the Planet of glyphosate, its toxicity and carcinogenic potentialities?
Yes, but only if farmers, all food growing and processing-manufacturing establishments demand certified glyphosate-free crops; and home gardeners STOP purchasing glyphosate-containing products to use like water, because it’s not safe. The lobbyist in the above video, when asked to drink it, said, “No, I’m not stupid!”
So, let’s take his admonition about being not stupid to heart: STOP USING ALL GLYPHOSATE-CONTAINING PRODUCTS.

However, if you think your health has been damaged by the use of Monsanto’s Roundup products, take note of the following law firm’s designation by the California Superior Court for the County of Alameda. The law firm has offices in Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Washington, DC.
