ACHENA Approved for 13 Hours

According to the National Pesticide Information Center (NPIC), glyphosate is one of the most widely used herbicides in the United States. It was first registered for use in 1974, and there are now over 750 Glyphosate-based herbicide (GBH) products for sale in the United States. The NPIC goes on to state that, based on the majority of studies, “glyphosate is not likely to be carcinogenic.” The Environmental Protection Agency agreed with that statement in their 2017 risk assessment draft. They determined that glyphosate is not carcinogenic to humans “when the product is used according to the pesticide label.” In the same draft, they admitted that “potential ecological risks” to plants, birds, and mammals were found due to spray drift exposure.

On the topic of “spray drift,” the NPIC reported that “glyphosate isn’t likely to vaporize after it is sprayed.” The spray carries on the wind, its denseness never lessening, and contamination has caused certified organic produce — never directly sprayed — to test positive for glyphosate. Worse, the toxic chemical does not sit benignly on the soil or plants, and is not easily washed off. The NPIC freely admits that glyphosate was “taken up by carrots and lettuce after the soil was treated with it.”

Independent researchers (from the University of Berkeley, the University of Washington, and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai) published a meta-analysis with supporting evidence in the July - September 2019 journal, Mutation Research. They came to the conclusion that there is “a compelling link between exposures to GBHs and increased risk for non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).” The highest exposure groups had an increased risk as great as 41%.

Kate Birch would agree with the independent researchers and argue further that illnesses other than non-Hodgkin lymphoma can be traced back to glyphosate exposure. A homeopath since 1994, Kate finally, in 2017, made the connection between her sudden-onset hyperthyroidism and a massive glyphosate exposure she experienced in 2006. Frustrated that homeopathic remedies had never fully cured her condition, she embarked on a glyphosate detoxification program that ultimately allowed her body to heal. Once the disruption caused by GBH was removed, homeopathic remedies did the rest. Kate’s eye-opening and life-renewing experience gave her the health and know-how to share her compelling story and what she learned along the way. In February 2019, she published her fifth book, Glyphosate Free.

Kate will present five, two-hour sessions – each will be packed with detailed information about:

• Exposure pathways: Which bodily systems are most disrupted by GBHs?
• GBH’s reach: What is the true extent of global GBH toxicity?
• Impact on homeopathic cure: How extensively do GBHs create an obstacle to cure?
• A solution: What can be done to remove the toxic overload of GBH?
  
  

Kim Elia will teach the sixth two-hour session and explain the history and politics of Monsanto, Bayer, and Round-up. He will discuss the history of GMO foods and the probable consequences of all the recent lawsuits against Monsanto and Bayer.

Max Ventura will offer a seventh bonus session for students in the course. She will discuss how statewide pesticides programs work, resulting in unseen pesticide exposure in our daily lives. She will look at the history of pesticide use and the resulting activism over past recent decades. By learning about what has proven effective, we won’t have to reinvent the wheel as we engage in actions to turn things around at the source. Max will also share her thoughts as to how we may look at our patients and their needs when they come to us after their doctors, in most cases, have not understood the source of their illness(es) and have left them with no help at all.

We'll conclude the course with a live Q&A session following Max's presentation, with suggestions to empower ourselves to address the pervasive problem of pesticides in our communities. Between Kate, Kim and Max, you will come to know almost everything there is to know about glyphosate – a difficult but necessary topic.

This seven session course is outlined as follows:

• Session 1: Glyphosate the Biome, Gluten and Tight Junctions
• Session 2: Glyphosate, Enzymes, Proteins and Digestive Pathways
• Session 3: Glyphosate, Neurotransmitters, Vagus Nerve, Acetylcholine and Cerebral Inflammation
• Session 4: Glyphosate, Adenosine, Immune System, RNA Viruses, Vaccine Injury and Cancer
• Session 5: Glyphosate, the Endocrine System and Effects on the Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Adrenal or Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Thyroid Axes
• Session 6: The History and Politics of Monsanto, Bayer and Round-up - rescheduled for November 26
• Session 7: Experiences in Pesticide Activism, Course Wrap-up & Empowerment
  
  

GBH infiltration has impacted our clinical outcomes, our food sources, and our entire planet in horrendous ways. Almost any diagnosis or symptom can be triggered by the far-reaching effects of GBH. It’s time to understand these devastating consequences and learn effective strategies on how to combat this toxic menace in order to help our patients and ourselves.
