Magnesium deficiency and glyphosate

Disclaimer: I’m not a doctor and this is not medical advice. By reading this blog you agree to use the information at your own risk.

Symptoms

Muscle spasms (muscle knots), anxiety, depression. Being under stress also uses up a lot of magnesium. By my observations at least half of Americans are under chronic stress.

Over the past 20 years, with the increased use of glyphosate, we have seen anxiety rates soar.

The toxic food connection

Since 1990 the amount of glyphosate used in the US on food crops has increased dramatically. 98% of corn grown in the US has glyphosate sprayed on it.

Glyphosate binds to many minerals so the body cannot use them. But it binds to magnesium the most. Glyphosate was actually used to remove minerals from pipes before it before it became a plant killer. Glyphosate kills all plants that do not have a glyphosate-resistant gene. In the US glyphosate can be sprayed on crops and they can be harvested 2 days later. Glyphosate works be getting into every cell and disrupting the Shikimate pathway, which is used to make energy for the plant.

We have several studies that show glyphosate is in the food system in Europe (see this blog), and we now have a study that shows it’s in the US food system. People can be tested for glyphosate in their urine, or for the metabolite.

Other studies from Europe have found glyphosate in the majority of people tested. https://thevaccinereaction.org/2022/07/cdc-finds-glyphosate-in-urine-of-majority-of-children-in-u-s/ Source: https://www.ewg.org/news-insights/news-release/2022/07/cdc-finds-toxic-weedkiller-87-percent-children-tested The August 2020 report: https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxprofiles/tp214.pdf

Fixes

I take 500mg of magnesium daily to restore magnesium levels, and 250mg per day for maintenance. I do feel a bit better. If you have side effects like loose bowels (magnesium is used as a bowel cleanser too) reduce the dose by half. Take Pepto Bismol to firm things up again.

Trust your gov’t

Trust your government. The US gov't said all these 30 chemicals and meds were safe but they were later banned or found to be dangerous. 2,4-d (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, a herbicide), acetamiprid, Agent Orange, asbestos, aspartame sweetener, cigarettes (actual ads would say doctors recommend them, and they are good for asthma), DDT (which they sprayed on people at the beach), DES (a synthetic estrogen given to pregnant moms), diazinon, epoxiconazole, flame retardant on clothes in the US, fluroxypyr, fracking, glyphosate, imidacloprid, isoproturon, lead paint, malathion, mercury fillings, microbeads, organophosphates, parathion, PCBs, pirimicarb, prochloraz, sucralose sweetener, tebuconazole, tetrachlorvinphos, thalidomide, Vioxx. **Do you really trust your gov't?** 4500 FDA drug recalls. https://www.drugwatch.com/fda/recalls/
