Hi All,
We had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Don Huber yesterday at the Back to Your Roots Annual Conference in Regina, SK. Dr. Huber spoke about his controversial research into glyphosate, and I feel strongly compelled to share with you folks that after his presentation, and visiting with him throughout the evening over supper with other speakers and brilliant minds from various walks of agricultural life asking him questions, my wife and I are 100% convinced that glyphosate is the plague he claims it to be.
There are so many studies published worldwide about negative effects on plant, animal, microbial and human life, which never get published on this content coincidentally, to say nothing for the man's 50+ years of experience, that I cannot imagine anyone being able to stand toe to toe with him and dispute his claims. Many have done it via the web or publications in North America, but from what I've seen, the most vocal critics all have ties back to the Mother Ship.
Dr. Huber answered questions from farmers, gardeners, input suppliers and scientists for hours, always with confidence and conviction, looking you square in the eye and never wavering while putting it in terms that you could easily understand. Rare for a scientist.
This is an article I found on the Green Pasture website which Dr. Huber wrote about some of his findings.

What stood out to me about his presentation was the history of glyphosate - it was first patented in 1968 by the Stauffer Chemical Co. as a metal chelator(antimicrobial). By chelating a broad spectrum of minerals, it basically ties those minerals up, which eliminates enzymes. Enzymes rely on certain minerals, particularly Zinc, Manganese and Boron(among many others), so when they are tied up(chelated) by glyphosate, they are unavailable to the host.
Without enzymes you can't digest things. Without the Lactase enzyme you cannot digest Lactose. Anyone familiar with lactose intolerance?
This basic action, which is the very action glyphosate was patented for, is the first domino pushed over that creates an absolute mess of disease and illness throughout our food system, and the world.
In my opinion, we have to go away from it's use, and get back to building soil fertility to reduce weed/pest pressure so we do not have to rely on chemical inputs nearly as heavily as we do now. When glyphosate residue is being found in the placenta of newborn HUMAN babies, something is very wrong. Please give this some thought, it has been effecting us for a long time, and will continue to do so until we do something about it.
