The Precautionary Principle

(I received this newsletter from the good folk at GMOs Revealed. I don’t know if the free soap offer applies outside the USA but I thought the newsletter worth sharing for the Precautionary Principle alone.)

Hi Tom,

In the wake of the Dewayne Johnson case, where it was found that his cancer was caused by glyphosate – the key ingredient in Roundup weed killer, we’ve been hearing a certain story over and over again.

The story goes like this:

A citizen begs their local government and/or school district to stop using Roundup in public areas and on school grounds, citing research and the fact that the World Health Organization classified glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic to humans” way back in 2015…

The citizen’s pleas fall on deaf ears, and use of the toxic weed killer continues.

Dewayne Johnson wins his case… and suddenly these same schools and government entities are discontinuing their use of Roundup, or at least reviewing their practices.

While it’s good that they’re taking action now, in some cases it’s only after years of requests from people in the community… Many are voicing complaints that these belated choices are being made in the spirit of risk management, rather than actual concern for citizens.

And it begs the question: What will they replace the glyphosate with??

Some think it will just be replaced with something even worse that hasn’t had a court case against it… …yet.

But a handful of school districts, mostly spurred by grass roots campaigns led by parents, may be on the right track.

They’ve adopted something called the “precautionary principle.”

The idea is that products that have not been proven to be safe for humans shouldn’t be used around humans… simple enough, right?

After all, medications go through rigorous testing to prove that they’re safe before being released to the public… In fact, these regulations go so far as to deny terminally ill patients access to potentially life-saving medications until they’ve been approved.

And yet they doused the grass where children play with a questionable chemical just because it hadn’t yet been proven harmful…often continuing to do so even now that it has.

Margaret Reeves, a senior scientist at the Pesticide Action Network of America puts it like this:

“If there was a horrible pest about to destroy a farmer’s whole crop, and this was the only tool available to stop it, that would be one thing — but here, the threat is, what? Weeds? How do you weigh that against the human health risk? They’re applying a carcinogenic chemical out of cosmetic concerns.”

As Bayer faces an estimated 11,200 more lawsuits and Roundup continues to be in the news, this is the perfect time to spread the movement to get these toxins out of our everyday lives…

Contact your school board, your local government, and even private entities to ask them to stop using Roundup and adopt the precautionary principle.

The movement can start with you.

Sincerely,

The GMOs Revealed Team

P.S. The precautionary principle belongs in our homes as well.

You already know that you need to check the labels on what you eat, but there’s something else in your home that is often loaded with toxins…

I’ll give you a hint, it’s absorbing into your skin all day, every day.

Your laundry products are very likely the top source of toxins in your home… historically, natural products have not been as effective as the toxic ones, but that’s not the case anymore.

We found a company called MyGreenFills… They are working hard to have a positive impact on the world by cutting down on plastic waste, giving honest work to oppressed communities, and providing natural, toxin-free laundry products that work just as well as their poisonous counterparts.

We’ve arranged for our subscribers to be able to try 50 free loads. Click here to give it a shot and see what other folks have to say about it.

Ryan’s Rule

Katrina, my rep at Morlife from where I purchase a great many of my powders, and I were talking at length. She asked me to share with you Ryan’s Rule, a piece of Queensland legislation. If you are in a hospital and you are not convinced that the care being administered to your child is appropriate to their individuial needs you can ask for Ryan’s Rule to be invoked which necessitates a complete change in the medical staff on your child’s case. Keep that in mind! https://www.health.qld.gov.au/cairns_hinterland/html/ryan-home
Oh, and a similar provision applies in NSW too. Ryan’s Rule applies within Queensland only, but there is a similar system called REACH in NSW and CARE in the ACT.

Proteolytic Enzymes

Systemic proteolytic enzymes are hot. Even medical doctors are looking at proteolytic enzymes for autoimmune conditions, post-surgical recovery, viral infections, asthma, and much more. 

Systemic enzymes formulas are not to be confused with digestive enzyme supplements, which you take with meals to compensate for all of the enzyme dead cooked and processed foods you eat. 

Unlike digestive enzymes, systemic proteolytic enzymes are a different formula and are taken between meals on an empty stomach so that they enter your bloodstream and travel throughout your entire system, breaking down undesirable proteins, optimizing your blood, and assisting with intelligent, adaptive healing in every organ in your body. Proteolytic enzymes support your body’s ability to:

Control inflammation throughout the body, not just in your joints.
Assist in the break up and removal of mucus in your lungs.
Maximize the ability of your lungs to take in oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.
Nutritionally support the repair and rebuilding of the cardiovascular system.
Optimize blood flow.
Assist your body in preventing and dissolving blood clots.
Help your body dissolve plaque in your arteries and dental plaque in your mouth.
Clean up your immune system.
Minimize the impact of allergies.
Improve the ability to exercise or perform athletically and speed up recovery times.

And these benefits stem from one simple ability: the proteolytic enzymes in this formula facilitate the breakdown of questionable proteins in your bloodstream and in the soft tissues of your body. 

For example, they help with illness. Just about everything that makes us sick (from invading pathogens to cancerous cells) is either a protein or is protected by a protein and is therefore subject to control by proteolytic enzymes. Select proteolytic enzymes have the ability to digest and destroy the protein-based defense shield of many pathogens, allergens, and rogue cells, thereby assisting in their ultimate elimination. And in addition to everything else, since they make their way into your bloodstream and soft tissue, they support the breakdown of circulating immune complexes stashed throughout your body, thus lessening the chances of allergic reactions, autoimmune disorders, and systemic inflammation.
