Discover the Hidden Truths Behind Glyphosate and How it is Affecting Your Health
What is Glyphosate? If you don’t know then you are consuming three square meals a day of the most ubiquitous toxin in history. Glyphosate is a herbicide sprayed on crops to kill weeds. It is also permeating its way into your body. Glyphosate is affecting your health. And the health of your cats and dogs, especially if Glyphosate is being sprayed in residential areas.
My name is Patricia Bowerman, The Health Revolution Activist. I’m going to start this blog by giving you a little bit of background. I’ll then explain how Glyphosate is affecting your health and what we can all do to counteract that as much as possible.
The Way it Was
When I was growing up food was food. Fresh, tinned, boxed. We weren’t bothered. Horrible white bread. Processed meat. Sauces on everything. As a kid in America, we weren’t aware of toxins. We even drank water out of the hose pipe. Often it was someone else’s hose pipe!
In the mid to late 60’s organic food began popping up in Hippy shops. Full of bruises, bug bites and all sorts of shapes and sizes. Apples weren’t the red shinny ones all the same size we had become used to so organic didn’t really catch on. Until…
Why Were Cancer Rates Climbing?
Somewhere between then and now cancer rates have kept climbing, Autism is becoming more and more common, gut issues are almost expected now. Why?
Going back a bit, when I was dealing with a serious health issue, this experience led me to learn about Glyphosate and it made sense that there was a connection. Then in 2018, a court hearing in California showed a pesticide containing Glyphosate actually caused cancer. More hearings followed. I had been timidly speaking publicly about Glyphosate prior to that first court case but now, some of us with a lifetime of gut issues could get loud!
Glyphosate Destroys the Soil Micro Biome
Science has now shown us how Glyphosate, the poster child for pesticides, destroys the soil micro biome as well as our own! Further science shows it highjacks the main molecule in our body’s ability to make our master antioxidant, Glutathione. That molecule is Glycine which just so happens to be the main amino acid in our collagen production. By the way our body makes 28 types of collagen. Pretty important! That’s a lot of high jacking.
Glyphosate penetrates the crop it’s sprayed on destroying the vitamins, minerals and amino acids in the crop as well as the shikimate pathway. This pathway is how plant cells communicate.
Human bodies are 10:1 more bacteria cells than human cells. These bacteria cells have a shikimate pathway. Think leaky gut! Glyphosate is IN our food. It does not wash off, peel off, or cook out. It’s a myth that we can wash pesticides off our produce. Glyphosate also penetrates the soil which the worms are smart enough to vacate! Without worms our soil is seriously lacking in nutrients.
So, What Do We Do?
If you cannot afford to buy all organic then prioritise your shopping.
Wheat gets two sprays. Are you gluten intolerant? I say you are glyphosate intolerant! Try this and see…Only buy organic flour. If you buy bread make sure all the ingredients are organic which should be flour, water and salt.
The best bread is sourdough that you make yourself. The correct sourdough fermentation process is like predigesting. It modifies the gluten. But you must use organic, sprouted, wholegrain wheat which is stone ground. Super healthy! Well worth the effort.

Back to Shopping…
Apples get a minimum of fifteen different pesticides. We all love our hummus. Chickpeas get loaded with Glyphosate. Lentils are like little Glyphosate pills. Rapeseed oil is gorgeous except it gets laden with Glyphosate. When is the last time you saw even a single bee in a field of rapeseed?
I’ve been speak publicly about glyphosate for seven years now and the responses I get from people are:
‘We have so many people in the world to feed now so we have to spray these toxins.’
How does this make sense? This is propaganda straight from Monsanto. There are a good many farmers around the world yielding healthy crops in abundant numbers who are not using pesticides.
‘Organic is too expensive’
is another objection I often hear. On the face of it that may be true. Tesco has a selection of apples priced at £1.70 for five organic or £1.50 for six sprayed. The difference is one apple and 20p. If you could see the toxins on an apple would you feed it to your children. Think Snow White. Pay now or pay later.
What Can We Do? It Begins With You and Me!
One recent study found that people who ate an all-organic diet for just six days reduced the amount of glyphosate in their bodies by 70%. That’s reducing what’s coming in but we also need to flush out the build up in our cells. Contact me for details on ways to do this.
If you want to stop Glyphosate affecting your health, your children’s health, and your pet’s health, you need to take action.
The good news is you can access the Soil Association, Pesticide Action Network, and the Environmental Working Group for up to date information about which foods are safe.
Learn more about banning Glyphosate in your area. Petition your town to ban Glyphosate using this link: https://www.pan-uk.org/pesticide-free/?
Have a chat with your local produce shop and ask for organic options. This will bring the price down and give us more options. Shops only stock what we buy. Stop buying toxic if you want to stop Glyphosate affecting your health.
Are you spraying weed killers in your back garden? Safe alternatives are:
Cheap white table salt sprinkled on wet ground or pea gravel kills weeds.
Cheap white vinegar mixed with salt and washing up liquid can be sprayed. One gallon vinegar, one cup of salt and 1/4 cup washing up liquid, mix and spray.
Fermented nettles are free and affective. Fill a bucket with nettle leaves and cover with water. Place a loose lid on and leave for four weeks. Bottle up and use.
