Amazing stories discovered in the lawsuits against Bayer/Monsanto

14m · Published 13 Apr 21:00

In this episode, at a Real Truth About Health conference, Jeffrey tells some amazing stories that have been discovered during the recent and ongoing lawsuits against Bayer/Monsanto:

  • Monsanto's "Discredit Bureau" which worked under the mission statement, "Let Nothing Go" and was a financial line item in their budget.
  • The story of IBT or International Biotest Labs who did about 35 - 40% of all toxicology testing for industry and was considered the "go to" lab to get your pesticide approved.  It was found through a DOJ investigation that about 80% of all tests run through IBT were falsified and invalid.
  • The story of James Parry, one of the leading scientists on genotoxicity, was hired by Monsanto and declared glyphosate, the main chemical in Roundup, genotoxic.  Monsanto would not accept any of his findings and hid them from the EPA.
  • The story of Marion Copely, an EPA executive, who was dying from cancer and during her last days said that her investigation showed that there were 14 ways that glyphosate could cause cancer.

Jeffrey Answers Audience Questions

28m · Published 06 Apr 14:00

In this episode, Jeffrey speaks at a Real Truth About Health conference and answers several audience questions like:

  • Are fruits GMO?  That is, should we avoid "seedless" fruits like watermelon or grapes?  Are they GMOs?
  • I see some food products with "Organic" labels and others with "Non-GMO". Does it have to have the word, "Non-GMO" to be non-GMO?
  • We grew up eating locally grown corn which was probably sprayed with pesticieds.  Do we still have pesticides in our system as adults?  How long does it take to get rid of pesticides in the body?
  • How do we get our cities and local municipalities to stop spraying Roundup and other pesiticides on local parks and other public places?
  • And many more...

GMO Soy and Monsanto's Blatant Public Deception

8m · Published 30 Mar 14:33

In this episode, Jeffrey speaks at a Real Truth About Health live conference. Jeffrey discusses two specific instances where Monsanto conducted their own studies on GMO soy which showed no differences between naturally grown soybeans and Monsanto's GMO soybeans. 

Unfortunately, both studies were rigged by Monsanto to show these non-differences and, in fact, these early Monsanto studies were used as models for how to fool the public in "scientific" studies.

Jeffrey's Best (and Most Outrageous) Stories from 25 years of Non-GMO Activism (Part 4)

12m · Published 23 Mar 17:22

In this episode, Jeffrey talks about how, in the early Monsanto studies, rats were fed GMO corn and they developed serious issues in their physiology during this 90 day study and Monsanto decided to hide those facts when the study was released. A former Monsanto scientist became concerned because in South Africa, GMO corn was being fed to humans who, historically, have eaten corn as a regular staple in their diet.

One landowner/farmer in South Africa was feeding his workers the GMO corn and many of the workers got sick with severe headaches, flu-like symptoms and inflammation; eventually, some of the workers died from eating the GMO corn.

Jeffrey's Best (and Most Outrageous) Stories from 25 years of Non-GMO Activism (Part 3)

15m · Published 15 Mar 19:00

In this episode Jeffrey tells a couple stories surrounding the myth that "GMO's are needed because they will feed the world"--a common talking point from the biotech industry that has been shown, through scientific studies, not to be true.

In his first story he talks about how he sat across the table from a Monsanto molecular biologist at a Lindy Hop workshop in St. Louis (Jeffrey loves to dance). Jeffrey asks a series of pointed questions that end in no response from the biologist.

In his next story, Jeffrey discusses how Monsanto convinced cotton farmers in India to buy their very expensive GMO cotton seeds.  After one season, not only did the cotton seeds not produced but they caused a series of health problems and financial collapses that ended in the suicides of 250,000 farmers. 

Did The US FDA Really Have No Safety Guidelines For GMOs Before They Were Released?

10m · Published 07 Feb 17:11

In this episode Jeffrey discusses how in 1999, during a biotech conference, Monsanto decalred that within 5 years they wanted to create a world in which 100% of all commercial seeds would be genetically engineered and patented. 

They did not achieve that goal mainly becasue of one person, Arpad Puzstai whose research confirmed the dangers of GMOs to human health.

Besides Arpad nobody else was talking about the dangers of GMOs to human health and so Jeffrey's main task then, and still is today, is to discredit the biotech industry and to make the public aware of the dangers of GMOs.

This episode is about how Jeffrey has spent the last 25 years doing exactly that and the stories surrounding his efforts.

The Real Truth About Gene Editing - 7 Things That Can Go Wrong

13m · Published 31 Jan 18:42

Gene editing is a new form of creating genetically engineered crops, and it is cheap and it is easy. This means that the number of GMOs that could be introduced, not only into our food supply, but into the environment, can be catastrophically large. 

One critical issue with GMOs, including genetic editing, is that it is prone to side effects. The biotech industry wants to pretend that gene editing is safe and predictable and just like breeding, and they've convinced governments, in some cases, to turn a blind eye.

In this episode Jeffrey will share with you the real truth about gene editing and the seven reasons why things can go wrong in the process.

The 7 reasons:

  1. Cutting the wrong place
  2. Sloppy repair
  3. Mixing genes
  4. Mutant proteins
  5. Insertion damage
  6. Mutations from the process
  7. Epigentic inheritance

IRT has created an excellent video with educational graphics that give a clear and understandable breakdown of this complicated technology.  WATCH THE VIDEO HERE.

 

The New Movement to Protect Human Health and the Environment from the Existential Threats of GMO 2.0

39m · Published 24 Jan 22:00

In this episode, Jeffrey gathers with the community of Sir Richard Branson's Necker Island to give a presentation on the existential threat that has been brought on by GMO 2.0.  

Some of the points he covers:

  • At this point in time we now know that 51% of Americans and 48% of the world's consumers now believe that GMO foods are unsafe.  This is critical because this is the tipping point IRT has been working towards for the last 25 years.

  • There are 3 main threats to health in the production of GMOs that we need to be concerned with:
    -> The creation of GMO foods causes massive collateral damage in the DNA which can lead to allergens, toxins, carcinogens, and new diseases.
    -> Some GMOs are created to in order to withstand sprays of Roundup which would normally kill them.  That Roundup is absorbed into the food that we eat and Roundup has been named as a probable carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)
    -> There are certain types of GMO corn that produce a toxin that will kill insects when they eat the corn.  We eat this toxin when we eat the GMO corn and this toxin has been known to poke holes in human cells which can lead to leaky gut.
  • The outright lies, deception and rigged research that Monsanto/Bayer has committed over the past decades in order to change public policy at the FDA in favor of GMO foods.

  • With new technologies such as CRISPR, gene editing has become easy and cheap to perform.  With these technologies readilly available a high school science student could create an organism that could wipe out species.

  • And much more.
 

What Caused the European Food Industry to Commit to Stop Using GMOs?

22m · Published 11 Jan 19:00

In this episode of the Live Healthy Be Well podcast Jeffrey begins by telling the story of how some animals refuse to eat GMO feed. 

In addition, he also tells the frightening story of Arpad Pusztai, the scientist and leading researcher in his field who was fired and had a gag order placed on him for revealing the science on the dangers of GMOs. And even more interesting, is how Arpad's research led to the European Union committing to stopping the use of GMOs.
