Depuis près d'un an, les paysans du nord du Ghana peuvent cultiver et commercialiser un niébé génétiquement modifié, conçu localement. Mais cette évolution n'est pas perçue d'un bon œil par l'ensemble de la communauté agricole ghanéenne. Certains fermiers craignent notamment d'être dépossédés de leur organisation traditionnelle. De notre correspondant à Accra,Plus de résistance face aux ravageurs de cultures, moins de pesticides, un rendement jusqu'à quatre fois supérieure à sa variété traditionnelle : voici les promesses du Niébé Bt, cette légumineuse génétiquement modifiée, commercialisée depuis juillet 2024 au Ghana. Jerry Nboyine est l'un des chercheurs ghanéens qui ont conçu cette variété : « C'est le fruit d'un travail collaboratif avec le Burkina Faso et le Nigeria. Nous avons négocié ensemble auprès de Bayer-Monsanto pour avoir accès au gène avec lequel nous avons développé le niébé. »Selon le chercheur, les premières récoltes en octobre 2024 ont été un réel succès, malgré une sécheresse intense, provoquant de nombreuses pertes chez les fermiers ayant planté le niébé traditionnel. Mais, au-delà du rendement, Jerry Nboyine espère surtout préserver la santé des agriculteurs. « Les fermiers ne souffriront plus de l'empoisonnement lié à l'usage de pesticides. Même chose du côté du consommateur : l'empoisonnement dû aux insecticides présents sur le niébé que l'on a acheté appartiendra au passé », estime-t-il.Inquiétudes et réglementationD'autres acteurs de l'agriculture ghanéenne craignent au contraire que ces nouvelles variétés provoquent une multiplication du risque sanitaire. Parmi eux se trouve l'association des fermiers paysans du Ghana, forte de plus d'un million de membres à travers le pays. Awal Wepia en est le président. Il craint également une dépossession de la production au profit de multinationales du génie génétique. « Cela risque de détruire notre système traditionnel de distributions de graines. Nous avons des producteurs de graines, si on introduit les cultures OGM, bien entendu que cela va supprimer leur travail, met-il en avant. Les vrais problèmes à régler sont l'irrigation, la valeur ajoutée des cultures, la mécanisation et le marketing. » Réunies en coalition, les anti-OGM ont saisi la justice ghanéenne à deux reprises, sans succès.Les tribunaux ont néanmoins insisté sur la nécessité de respecter le droit en vigueur, par un corps législatif complet. « Nous avons la loi de biosécurité, également la réglementation sur la biosécurité, qui prévoit les lignes directrices sur ce que l'on peut cultiver. Nous sommes aussi signataires de nombreux protocoles internationaux en vigueur dans le monde entier », détaille Samuel Amofa, chargé de communication à l'autorité nationale de biosécurité, la NBA. À ce jour, le Ghana a autorisé la commercialisation de 14 autres cultures OGM de maïs et de soja.À lire aussiGhana: l'opposition manifeste contre la destitution de la présidente de la Cour suprême

In today's episode, I interview Josh Dech. In our conversation, Josh discusses the critical role of gut health in overall well-being, emphasizing that gut health impacts not just digestion but various aspects of health, including fertility. He shares his journey from being a paramedic to a holistic health practitioner, highlighting the importance of understanding inflammation, dysbiosis, and the gut microbiome. Josh challenges conventional medical perspectives on chronic diseases and discusses the significance of dietary choices, the role of probiotics, and the hidden threats posed by parasites. He advocates for a comprehensive approach to gut health, including the five Rs of gut health, and stresses the importance of working with health professionals for optimal results. Be sure to tune in! Takeaways Gut health impacts everything, not just digestion. Inflammation is a sign of the body wanting to heal. Dysbiosis is an imbalance in gut bacteria. Symptoms can indicate underlying issues. Diet plays a crucial role in gut health. Conventional medicine often overlooks root causes. All diseases have a root cause. Probiotics can be beneficial but vary in effectiveness. Parasites can significantly affect gut health. Working with a professional is essential for healing. Guest Bio: Josh is a Holistic Nutritionist specializing in Crohn's and Colitis, and other related gut issues. After reversing over 250 cases of bowel disease, previously thought to be impossible to fix, he's been connected to some of the world's most renowned doctors. He's since been recruited to the Priority Health Academy as a medical lecturer, helping educate doctors on the holistic approach to gut health, and inflammatory bowel disease; and has launched a top 2.5% globally ranked podcast. https://gutsolution.ca https://www.instagram.com/joshdech.health/ For more information about Michelle, visit: www.michelleoravitz.com Click here to get free access to the first chapter in The Way of Fertility Book! https://www.michelleoravitz.com/thewayoffertility The Wholesome FertilityFacebook group is where you can find free resources and support: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2149554308396504/ Instagram: @thewholesomelotusfertility Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thewholesomelotus/ Transcript: Michelle (00:00) Welcome to the podcast, Josh. Josh Dech - CHN (00:02) A pleasure to be here, Michelle. Thanks for having me on board. Michelle (00:05) Yeah, I'm very excited to pick your brain. We just had a little pre -talk. I'm excited to really get into all the details of the gut nowadays we're starting to see just how impactful it is, but not just for digestion, which is like most of the time when you hear about gut, you think, okay, how's my digestion? It's about everything. It's kind of like the center of everything. It impacts fertility. But before we get into that, I'd love for you to share how you got into this work. Josh Dech - CHN (00:36) I'd love to. Sure. You know, I think my entire career, I often like to describe it as a series of accidents just pushing me into one direction or another. And I used to be a paramedic and I loved it. You know, I love being in healthcare, but it wasn't very long until I realized it was actually sick care. It wasn't what I wanted to actually be doing. You know, I picked the same people up for the same things. Maybe 20 % of your calls were actually trauma, like car accidents and stuff like that. The other 80 plus percent was medical. So we're talking people coming in for the same issues, heart issues, diabetic issues, strokes, very preventable things. Almost 99 % of them would be preventable through just simple lifestyle, nutrition and basic changes. And, you know, I ended up leaving that career after a short little stint and got into personal training in my early twenties. And that was more what I wanted to do. And I was a woman who came to see me at age 57, right at the beginning. And this is, this story is just, it'll knock your socks off because it really shows you what's possible. So she's 57 years old. She came to see me. She was on 17 pills and a shot of insulin for breakfast. She had nine more pills and insulin for bedtime. So we're talking 26 pills a day, two shots of insulin. She had CPAP machine to sleep. She had high blood pressure. She was on disability at work as well on the list. So 27 floors up, but there was a fire. She had to stand there and wait for someone to come get her because she couldn't physically take the stairs. And that was the state of her health at 57. And so here we are two years later, she's 59 years old now. Michelle (01:54) my God, wow. Josh Dech - CHN (02:02) She's off all but two medications, no longer needs CPAP. She's no longer on disability, high blood pressure gone, it's totally normalized. Even her eyesight improved. She got her glasses prescription downgraded. And now he or she is 59 years old, Michelle, it gets even better. I told you, knock your socks off. We entered into her first weightlifting competition and she broke a world record in the raw power lifting federation in Canada at 59 from previously being on disability. And this is the power. Michelle (02:14) Wow. Yeah Josh Dech - CHN (02:30) really truly the human body to go from 26 pills and insulin and disability to breaking world records right till she was in her mid 60s 62 63 when she retired from weightlifting but that's what the body can do it's consistently all the time it is working to heal you to improve you to rebuild you to build you stronger yet somehow we find ourselves continually going back the other way i'm getting it must be because i'm older it must be because you know i'm just getting sick it must be just genetic it must be this must be that She was told all of her shit was genetic. None of it was. Her body was trying to heal her but it wasn't given the tools conditions and circumstances to do so until it was and then it did. And this is the power of we'll say holistic health is a super broad overarching spectrum but dealing with basics of nutrition and gut health and wellness at its root we can see that the body is so capable of healing itself and it's the most important thing you could ever do is give your body what it needs. Michelle (03:01) Yeah. Josh Dech - CHN (03:29) That's sort of how we got here. Michelle (03:29) That is so powerful. Yeah, I that's so powerful because I, well, I think that the big thing that really gets in the way is kind of how we view our bodies or how we're taught to view our bodies. I want to say that we're conditioned to view our bodies because I think on an innate level, we do know that we can heal ourselves. There's definitely like an innate knowing that you have and intelligence that you connect with with your body. But most people do not know based on how we're educated that their body can heal itself and that there is a choice outside of the 26 pills. Josh Dech - CHN (04:02) Yes. Yeah, right now you've been told there's nothing you can do right now you've been told your issues are genetic right now you've been told your only hope is medications to manage the symptoms there's nothing that can be done. But we need to understand as I learned throughout my career going back to school now specializing in gut diseases. Our guts really are at the epicenter of most of these things. And once you understand how it works, how it's connected, and how it's responsible for every aspect of your well being. I argue sometimes that it well may be more important than our DNA. And once we can understand this concept, then we can start to look outside of what we think we already know, what we've been told. It unlocks a whole new, a whole new world for you. I'm singing a lot of it in my head now, a whole new world, but it opens all this stuff up for you. And then everything is possible. Everything you've been told becomes something of the past. Your whole paradigm begins to shift. And finally, you can look at yourself and go, wait a minute. Michelle (04:37) You Josh Dech - CHN (05:03) wait a minute, there, I don't have to be on these medications. I don't have to just deal with this. I don't have to just live with this because my body is trying to heal me. What is it trying to heal me from? And then you start unraveling. That's the thread that pulls apart the whole sweater. Michelle (05:17) Yeah. And also inflammation is kind of at the heart of this because I know that it can impact so many things. know for fertility, it can impact your uterine lining. It can impact egg quality. it's very much linked with things like endometriosis. I mean, there's so many things and it just goes on and on and on. So let's talk about inflammation because that's really at the heart of all of this. Like when you address the gut health, actually addressing inflammation. So talk about that. Talk about the Western approach to that and how you see inflammation occurring in the body. Josh Dech - CHN (05:55) Yeah. Inflammation is always a reaction. Your body is healing you from something. And in the Westernized world, here's what I'll say. Imagine you're out going for a walk and you step on a nail and the nail goes right through your foot and you go into your doctor. The doctor looks at that nail and goes, wow, it is really swollen, really inflamed, but it's kind of just part of your body. Now there's nothing we can do about it. So what we're going to do is give you numbing cream for the pain. And if it gets infected, we can manage that as things get worse. In worst case scenario, we'll just cut your foot off. That's absurd. may, you'd lose it. You slap the doctor, but here we are, we're going in and you got say a gut disease where I specialize like Crohn's, colitis and other gut disease. You go into your doctor, they go, wow, that inflammation is really bad. It's just genetic. It's part of your body. There's nothing we can do. We're going to manage it with quote numbing cream. So medication, anti -inflammatories. And when you get infected, we'll treat it as it comes up. And if worst case scenario, we'll just cut the organ out. You should be slapping your doctor just like you would if it were your foot because it makes no sense. Inflammation, the very fundamentals of it is your body healing you from something. So let's apply this to Crohn's and colitis, right? Where I specialize is Crohn's, colitis and severe IBS. People are told it's genetic, it's autoimmune, there's nothing you can do. It is what it is. well, it will manage it or hopefully not cut out your bowels. Looking at this, it's not just genetic. It's not just autoimmune. It's not just unknown. And I can break those down in about two minutes there, Michelle, really for you to basically, those are the three legs that Western medicine stands on to say you have to medicate it. I can break those with their own data and say it doesn't make any sense. But the idea being these inflammatory conditions we're told we're stuck with, yet we can reverse them 99 % of the time to full healing. Inflammation is your body healing you. We have to ask what is it healing you from? So in the case of your intestines, they will, it's autoimmune and genetic, it's attacking your own body. Well, what if, what if your body is attacking something like your microbiome and your own tissues are caught in the crossfire, right? You get a nail in your foot, your body's not attacking your foot. That's not why you're inflamed. It's creating white blood cells or immune activity in response to attack the nail that's in your foot. Michelle (07:50) Mm Mmm. Josh Dech - CHN (08:13) We don't question that. go, obviously it's infected. There's something that's wrong. When we get a condition like Crohn's or colitis or some other inflammatory condition, we go, it's attacking me. That doesn't make any sense at all. Michelle (08:13) Mm That's so interesting. So how do you see that specifically Crohn's is it the gut microbiome imbalance that's causing all of this? I think it's fascinating that you're saying this because I always talk about like symptoms being your friend. And it's actually just one of the intelligent aspects of your body to give you the alarm, to give you a heads up. Hey, pay attention. Josh Dech - CHN (08:36) Yeah. Mm Michelle (08:52) So it is really fascinating to look at it that way rather than a nuisance. Josh Dech - CHN (08:52) Yeah. Yeah, I see it cascading down as a few different things. So number one, we all have dysbiosis now. Dysbiosis just means an imbalance in bacteria. But we know through the work of someone like Justin Sonnenberg that we can see what's called inherited dysbiosis. Our microbiomes are passed down from our mothers and her grandmother and her great, great grandmother before that. We get these dysbiotic states handed down and the more toxic our world gets them, the the dysbiosis becomes. Michelle (09:06) Mm Josh Dech - CHN (09:26) So think of it this way, Michelle, great, great grandmother, we'll just round number just to visualize easier. Say they have a thousand microbes. Great grandmother gives birth to your great grandmother, who's given 800, who gives birth to your grandmother, who gets six, to your mother, who gets 400, to you, who gets 200 microbes. You now have inherited dysbiosis. Of course your gut's getting worse, which explains the rise of gut disease we've seen over the last... 50 to 75 years, we've seen these numbers compounding gut disease getting worse in the 1950s, Crohn's and colitis. There was about, I think it was maybe five or 10 in 100 ,000 people had this disease. To the 1970s, you're now 25 to 40 in 100 ,000 who have the disease. 1990s, you're about 150. And now today, it's 456. Almost 5 % of people now have bowel disease in North America. And so what we're seeing now is this continual growth from like whatever it was, 0 .0005 % to 5 % growth in bowel disease is because great great grandmother had a thousand, now you've got 200. This is inherited dysbiosis. And there's a direct correlation to the amount of pesticides we use, to the chemicals we put on our food, to everything. And now what happens, this dysbiosis, this is the moat around the castle. This keeps the bad guys out. Michelle (10:39) Mm -hmm. Yeah. Josh Dech - CHN (10:49) This is your defense mechanism. 90 % of your immune system is made there, or 70 to 90%, I should say, up to 90 % of your neurotransmitters, what your brain needs, all these leaks that happen in the gut when we're inflamed, it opens up the door for toxins to travel anywhere in the body through your lymphatic system or your bloodstream. And so we have our defenses lowered from 1 ,000 to 200, say. We don't have the same robustness to our body. Michelle (10:54) Mm Josh Dech - CHN (11:16) which means other invaders, mode is empty, invaders can enter the castle. So now we've got three big issues that really are the roots of bowel disease. Number one is going to be microbial imbalances. So this is that dysbiosis we inherited, which lets in overgrowth of fungus, which should be in our gut, but in smaller levels it overgrows. We see overgrowth of E. coli, a big one I see. Michelle has parasites. I'm talking three, four foot worms coming out of people, which yeah, which. Michelle (11:20) Hmm. Mm God. Josh Dech - CHN (11:45) has never been detected and will never be seen on your blood work from your doctor. So we see microbial imbalances. We also see toxins which contribute to this number of 200. So pesticides in 1990, right, we had let's go back to the 50s. We talked about say five or 10 in 100 ,000 to 1990 where it was about 150 to today where it's almost 456 per hundred thousand people with bowel disease. In the 1950s there was a handful of pesticides for use. 1990s it was 700 to 900, today it's 18 to 20 ,000 different pesticides approved for use in North America. And so this is a direct correlation, also looking at processed foods and packaged foods and seed oil consumption, the decrease in natural foods like eggs and animal fats, the increase in these artificial foods that we're now taking in. I'm not even arguing are animal fats good or bad for your heart, what I'm saying is we've eaten less of them than ever before and have more diseases than ever before. Michelle (12:39) Mm -hmm. Yeah. Josh Dech - CHN (12:41) And so we have to look at these correlations and go, wait a minute, something is up. Now I'm a big fan of red meat and fatty tissues. I eat a lot of fat and a lot of meat and my body's amazing, my blood is great, right? But this is what we see, microbial imbalances, toxicity from foods, from the environment, from other places. And then we have again, a dietary nutrient deficiency. So diets, 60 to 80 % of the standard American diet is processed, refined. comes from a bag, a freezer, a box or a drive -through. We have nutrients in our soil. Back in 2008, there was a study from the University of Texas who estimated you need eight oranges today to get the same level of nutrition that your great great grandmother would have out of one single orange due to tilling of the soil, the pesticides, right? Modern farming. So we have dysbiosis, which leads to toxins coming out or your toxins contribute to this as well. We have nutrient deficiencies because our food is more fake. Michelle (13:22) Yeah, crazy. Josh Dech - CHN (13:36) And then we have microbial imbalances overgrowing. No wonder your body's throwing a fit. Because since the beginning of time, whether you believe it was 5 ,000 years or 500 billion years, since the beginning of time, we've never had these issues. In fact, still today, the further away you go from the Western world, where we're eating all this food and covered in these toxins and these chemicals, the further away you go, the less disease you see. There's a direct correlation to living back naturally. Hunter gatherer tribes, they're like, what is infertility? What do mean back pain? what are arthritis, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, kidney disease, liver disease, diabetes. What are those? They don't skin issues, acne. These are things we call normal. They've never seen it before. And this is why this is how we get disease. Yeah. Michelle (14:16) Yeah. That is so crazy. I mean, it's really crazy. It's crazy to think about and it's crazy that this is acceptable and that there's no regulation and nobody's really protecting the health of the people. mean, enough is enough. Like it's just so frustrating because we, because people know that it's bad. They know it and they do it anyway. And, and in many countries, many of these pesticides are banned and they know that it can impact fertility. Now they're linking a lot of them. Josh Dech - CHN (14:33) I hear you. Michelle (14:50) So it's so frustrating. It's so frustrating for me to see my patients having to climb an uphill battle just so that they can protect their reproductive health. Like it's just crazy. And also it's interesting that you were talking about how the dysbiosis has passed on from situations or conditions such as Crohn's disease. Josh Dech - CHN (15:03) Yeah. Michelle (15:15) And it's interesting because like people would say, it's inherited, it's DNA. You would think that it's kind of the DNA, but it's actually, you're saying that it's the dysbiosis that's being passed on. I'm sure there's some level of DNA, like susceptibility as well, but that's kind of an interesting take or an understanding of it because you're like, okay, like that's not something that people thought about. And we know very well. Josh Dech - CHN (15:33) sure. Well, I'd love to... Michelle (15:43) that the mother passes on her microbiome to the baby. Josh Dech - CHN (15:48) She does. Yeah. I'd love to break those three things for you I could Michelle and just a matter of minutes. You know, we look at IBD Crohn's colitis. It's just genetic. It's autoimmune or there's no known cause. Well, we just talked about number one. These are the three pillars that stands on for your doctor to say it's meds for life or surgery. That's what they have. Michelle (16:06) So you're saying this is the perspective of medicine, what you just said. Yeah. Yeah. Josh Dech - CHN (16:11) Yeah, sorry, let me clarify. So if you've been diagnosed with Crohn's colitis or even IBS, you've been told it's genetic or it's an autoimmune condition or there's no known cause. That's what your doctors told you to date. And they say your best bet is medication or surgery. That's your only hope. What I'm saying is none of that makes sense. And I'll tell you why idiopathic means no known cause. We just talked about seven different causes inherited dysbiosis increase in toxins and chemicals. The last hundred years we've had 80 to 100 ,000 new chemicals added to our lives, most of them in our food. And so what you put in your gut, you're going to tell me doesn't affect my gut. That's nonsense. That's number one. So there has to be a cause because we've seen cases, even looking at the data per CDC, about 3 million cases worldwide in 1990. Today it's seven to 8 million. So cases have doubled, almost tripled in the last 30 years. So there has to be a cause. So it can't be unknown. Like they say it is number two. Michelle (17:08) Yeah. Josh Dech - CHN (17:11) They say that it's just genetic. Well, 50 % of those seven or eight million cases, North America is less than 5 % of the population. They have 50 to 60 % of all the world's cases of bowel diseases. So when 5 % has 50 % in the last 30 years where it's blown up, it cannot just be genetic. That would take thousands of years and most of those things weed themselves out of the gene pool. The last one is it's autoimmune. Well, looking at the actual antibodies per studies, the ones that we see, even like P. Anka, we call it. This one, 70 % of those with ulcerative colitis will have this antibody. Well, it can be caused by mesalamine, a drug they use to treat Crohn's colitis, by stress, by fungal infections, by other bacterial overgrows, antibiotics. These antibodies, only 40 to 60 % have any antibodies at all. And the ones that do, can be very well explained by nearly anything else that can go on inside the body, such as dysbiosis states, parasites, infections, antibiotic use, the very drugs in Miran, azathioprine, the ones they use to treat Crohn's and colitis can cause these antibodies. So it can't be autoimmune. And even if it was truly autoimmune, at least 50 % don't have any antibodies at all, but you're treating it like it's autoimmune. So the three pillars they have to stand on, Michelle, to say you need drugs for the rest of your life. Michelle (18:23) Wow. Josh Dech - CHN (18:34) There's no hope for you. Your life is basically ruined. It's management or we cut the organs out. None of it makes any sense by their own data. And this, this little perspective shift changes everything. Michelle (18:41) No. My God, this is so important. It's so important that people hear this because I think that we just take it for what it is for truth, absolute truth. When we go and I've had, I've had the same situation for my irregular periods, but you know, it could be anything. And then you're going and you get an answer that, you know, just doesn't seem to feel right. And you talk about the possibility to cure diseases. Can all diseases be cured? Josh Dech - CHN (19:12) Yeah, it's really interesting because I like to throw that question out there because the word cure is sort of a dirty word in the Western world. It's not something they are. And most doctors are because it's a huge claim to make. I cannot legally in my practice, because I'm not a medical doctor, right? I work with doctors, I'm a physician's consultant, and that's all great, but I'm not a doctor. I cannot legally use the words cure, treat, or heal in the context of what I do. But what I can say is this. Michelle (19:20) Yeah, people are afraid of it. Yeah. Yeah. Josh Dech - CHN (19:43) I believe all diseases have a root. Disease is not innate to your biology or DNA. We even talk about genetics, right? Let's go back to the genetic weak link of bowel disease. Sure, you get five people in a room, Michelle, you expose everybody to mold. One gets really bad periods. One gets Crohn's or colitis. One gets asthma. One gets Parkinson's disease. Another one gets nothing. Because when your genes are exposed, say dysbiosis, it puts stress on the genetic links, the genetic chain. When you're toxic or infected, it puts stress. There's a study called neutrogenomics, which is nutrients and genetics and their correlation and reactions together were depleted. So these genes are getting stretched and pulled on the chain. The weak link is the one that snaps first. So there's no doubt there's a genetic component to bowel disease or what you're dealing with, but there are things that are stressing that chain. If you can pull down the stress and give your body what it needs to simply function normally, you're going to be just fine. Michelle (20:28) Mm. Josh Dech - CHN (20:42) Your body's gonna do what it has to do. It's gonna heal itself. And these quote genetic conditions sort of just go away because they were never really genetic. It was just exploiting what may have been a weak link. You go, well, I had my gene tested. I've got the MTHFR, so I can't methylate. I can't do this. Every form of natural nutrients that comes from the soil, that comes from animal meat, that comes from the earth in any way, your body will use a methylate. It's all the artificial or fortified versions. It's the folic acid. They spray on the grains and crops. It's not the actual nutrients from earth. It's the artificial stuff you can't use. So don't beat yourself up about it. Just grow your own food. Michelle (21:11) Mm -hmm. Right. Correct. Yeah. Ooh, I love that. It's so true and it's so nice to hear it put in that way for people listening to this that's a huge issue for a lot of people trying to conceive because for so long, they've been having folic acid and also if they're eating grains, even if they don't want folic acid, it's kind of like shoved in our faces. So we're forced to eat it. Yeah. Josh Dech - CHN (21:41) Yes, and folic acid is basically poison. I mean, we know, right? Tested like MTHFR, popularized gene, there's a snip in there, changes your morphology, how your genes will activate. 44 % cannot use folic acid, but doctors give folic acid to 100 % of women who are pregnant. Why? If you can't use the folic acid, it actually can cause blood pressure issues. It can cause all kinds of issues, cognitive impairment, anxiety, depressive issues, gut issues. Michelle (22:02) Yeah. Josh Dech - CHN (22:10) probably fertility issues, right? I can't speak to that one specifically, but I would guess through the chain of events. Well, there you go. So you're being given a drug that almost 50 % of the population can't, I call it a drug because it's artificial, that you cannot use that can cause other health complications. Well, no wonder you have gestational diabetes. No wonder you have hypertension. No wonder you have these, you know, prenatal conditions. The Western world treats pregnancy like a disease state. You are sick. We have to treat you, but it's not. Michelle (22:14) Yeah, yeah, it does. For some people, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Josh Dech - CHN (22:40) In the inflammatory markers you get from pregnancy, all these different things, they're actually normal and they're actually a biological beneficial process, which is also connected to your gut, oddly enough. Michelle (22:52) Everything's connected to your gut. So talk to us. It really is. The more I do this, the more I realize this. It's kind of like just everything's the center. Even Chinese medicine, the spleen and stomach are the digestive couple. And every couple, there's like a yin and yang pair of organs. Every one of them has a different direction. The spleen and stomach is the center. It's kind of like where everything comes from. Josh Dech - CHN (22:54) All of it. Mm Michelle (23:20) So it really is so important and that's, it really comes down to your gut health. So talk to us about like what people can do and really how like kind of take us through like the inflammatory process or the anti -inflammatory approach to your gut. Josh Dech - CHN (23:38) Yeah, first thing is we just have to remove the nail. That's it. You know, your body is reacting to so much and I describe it like this. Picture your body's like a cup of water. I I got a cup of water next to me here. So picture this cup gets full and fuller and fuller. As the cup starts to fill up, you start to develop symptoms. I'm having menstrual issues. I'm having PMS. I'm having some infertility. I'm having some skin issues. I'm not sleeping. I'm having anxiety, depression, gut issues, et cetera. These are the symptoms you develop. Michelle (23:41) Mm Josh Dech - CHN (24:07) Now when that cup finally overflows, you now go into your doctor and they say, you have this disease. Cause they're looking at everything that's gotten wet. go, yep, this is just a condition you have. The floor is wetiosis. All right. And they go, this is just what it is. We don't look at what led to it. We don't look at what contributed instead. We go, yep, it's just part of your disease process. It's part of your body. Here's some management for your symptoms. This is numbing cream on the foot. That's what it is. Rather than taking the nail out. Michelle (24:07) Mm Josh Dech - CHN (24:35) And so we're looking at disease, understand something's filling your cup. And this is how we can begin reversing it. Number one, we have to look at one, what is filling the cup? So this is going to go back to your environment, back to your gut, your microbes, that when the defenses came down, the moat was empty. What came into the castle? That's number one. Number two, how do we drain the body? Cause everyone talks about detoxing. You'll hear 10 day detox, seven day detox, 24 hour detox is always something to sensationalize. But there's all these detoxes. Michelle (25:01) Mm Josh Dech - CHN (25:04) Yes, your body is detoxing constantly on its own and yes, sometimes it can use some support. There's a good reason for that. But something we often miss is called drainage. Detoxing is gathering the trash. Drainage is bringing it out to the curb. So yes, your liver, your kidneys, your bile ducts are one that most people miss, gallbladder and bile ducts. That's one of the most crucial parts of healing and inflammation. We have to look at your skin, your sinuses, your lungs. Michelle (25:19) Mm Josh Dech - CHN (25:31) Lymphatics, even your blood, these are all drainage or detox pathways. They help move and transport and organize toxins, but also get them out of the body. So sinuses, skin, lymphatics, et cetera. This is drainage. If we don't have this properly supported, I don't care how many parasite protocols you take or antifungal meds you take or how many detoxes you do. If it's not getting out of the body, it's just moving or it's still collecting. And so it's continuing to fill your glass. Right? Michelle (25:56) Right. Josh Dech - CHN (25:58) Your doctor looks at all the things filling up your glass. They don't use it to figure out what's happening or what's causing it. They use it, what's called diagnostic criteria. So they are looking simply to check the symptoms, do their tests in order to meet what fits this box. Once you have enough checks to color in this box, we then can give you these drugs in this order. If they don't work, snip, snip, here's your surgery. And the idea is again, disease is innate. Michelle (26:23) Mm Josh Dech - CHN (26:25) You just have these symptoms, therefore you just have this condition. There's nothing we can do. And here's how we'll manage. Rather than looking at your symptoms that led to the disease in reverse engineering the process, what is filling your glass and preventing it from emptying? If Western medicine did that, they'd be bankrupt, which is probably why they don't. Because you're talking the three biggest industries, Michelle, in North America are healthcare, so hospitalization, health insurance, and pharmaceuticals. It makes up 18 % of the entire US GDP. So 18 % of the entire income of the United States of America is healthcare. Yet they are the sickest country on earth. Six out of 10 adults have some kind of chronic illness or chronic inflammatory condition. Six out of 10, it's $4 .7 trillion a year to manage disease. It'd probably be more like 50 to 100 billion. So pennies on the dollar really, if you actually cured everything. So there is a huge financial incentive to not actually hear anybody. That's messed up. Michelle (27:26) That's so crazy. I mean, I think it's so messed up. I mean, it's really messed up. think a lot of people know this and there's definitely a lot of money moving around between the food industry and the pharmaceuticals, which I mean, you know, like why. Josh Dech - CHN (27:44) Yeah, yeah. You get a CEO who goes from Bayer Monsanto, who by the way, just paid out $11 billion with a B, $11 billion in lawsuits because their glyphosate product caused so many cases of cancer. There's over a hundred thousand lawsuits pending. They paid it over 11 billion with another 30 to 40 ,000 lawsuits still pending. And guess what? They're still allowed to use the product. Even though it's been proven hundreds of thousands of times to cause cancer and other dangers. because super unethical, we live in a horribly unethical system based on lobbying. Get one more for you. There's a chemical called chlorpyrifos. It's an organophosphate. Organophosphates are nerve agents. If you've ever heard of sarin gas, for example, used in the Tokyo subway attacks in the eighties in Syria against the Halabja people, it's a nerve agent. It is a toxin, organophosphates, particularly sarin gas. Michelle (28:15) It's so unethical. Yeah. Mm Josh Dech - CHN (28:41) Well, there's 800 plus organophosphates of the same class, these nerve agents that are used on our food. One recently was re -approved for use called chlorpyrifos just back in November 23 or December 23, was re -approved for use. Well, this was being explored in the 1930s and 40s by Nazi scientists as chemical warfare on humans, but they put it in our food. Then you get people going, well, the poison makes the dose. Okay, I get that. Yeah, if it was. Michelle (28:47) Mm man. Josh Dech - CHN (29:09) microns of chlorpyrifos, your body would get rid of it. But we got over a billion pounds of chemicals every year on our food that we consume. We've actually consumed now four times more pesticides per person than we used to in the 90s, because there's so many more of them. The poison that know, the dose makes the poison. Yes. But we've also 17 times our dose, of course, we're so toxic, of course, everyone's poisoned. And so these are the things we have to consider. Michelle (29:34) Yeah. Josh Dech - CHN (29:37) But circling back, these are the toxins contributing to your glass filling up. So you want to empty the bathtub, turn off the tap, right? So let's put a hole in the toxins. Simple as the clean 15 and dirty dozen list from the EWG, Environmental Working Group. Go organic where you can, or just don't buy it, right? There's a lot of other ways. It doesn't have to have the organic label. I don't buy all organic. There's a farmer's marketing in my house. Michelle (29:45) Yeah. Right. Josh Dech - CHN (30:02) And I talked to the farmers, they do one fungicide spray at beginning of the year on the ground, and then all their crops grow. That is a risk reward ratio I'm willing to accept. It's the same price, but there's one spray instead of the average strawberry has like 12 pesticides on it. And so that's what I'm willing to accept for myself. And I will adapt to the rest. And so turn off the tap, start changing out the toxic environment, start making some of these better modifications. One of the top toxins or pollutants for humans is actually recirculated indoor air. Open your windows. Michelle (30:03) Mm Mm Josh Dech - CHN (30:32) Just where you can, open them up, let some fresh air come in. And this we can start, this is turning off the tap. Then we can open our drainage and detox pathways. And then we can begin removing the invaders that came into the castle. And then we can begin repairing and rebuilding the walls and everything that was destroyed after these invaders came in. That's sort of the process affectionately typically referred to as the five Rs. There's sort of an acronym we can use in there for that, but that's the idea. Michelle (30:33) Hmm, yeah. Yeah. And a lot of people just say, then I'll just get probiotics. But then I, I'm learning, you know, that not are created equal. So I wanted to get your thoughts on that. Like I just, the different types of probiotics, everything comes out. Another company says, ours is special because of this, that, and the other. Then there's a spore based probiotics, which are more likely to survive our entire tract. So. Josh Dech - CHN (31:04) Mm. Yes. Michelle (31:26) I'd love to pick your brain on that. Josh Dech - CHN (31:29) I'd love to sure. So spore based probiotics, they're more like seeds, and they're typically coded to get to the large intestine. This is where 90 % of your intestinal bacteria actually live is in the large intestine right where it connects to the small intestine and that whole area there. That's where most of them live. And so the spores will get there the like seeds that plant and grow trees that bear fruit. We have other probiotics, which you're right, not all are made equally, a lot of them will come in, they're dead, but you still can get benefits. If you think about Let's go to pro, pre and post biotics, right? The three things I think we often get mixed up. I think of it like fish in a fish bowl. Probiotics are the fish, the living organism that swim around in the bowl. Prebiotics are fish food and postbiotics are what the fish poop out. If you look at your bacteria the same, they're your fish in your fish bowl, the living organisms, the probiotics are the fish. This is what moves around and engages with your body. They do so much for you. They produce vitamins and minerals and nutrients. Michelle (32:04) Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm. Josh Dech - CHN (32:28) help balance hormones and detoxify and help with your immune system. They do all kinds of great things, mostly through how they signal to the body. But then your prebiotics are what they eat. So this is going to be your fibers, it's going to be your carbs and starches, some proteins, there's going to be some things that they will consume, which creates the post biotics your body likes, the short chain fatty acids and minerals or the vitamins and all these things. And so we consume probiotics, a lot of them we eat are dead. So you're still getting the postbiotic or the bacterial poop, if you will, of all the benefits, which come in, come out in a couple of days. It might be very short term and they're kind of out the door, but along the way they can have a lot of really good beneficial signaling to the body, to the immune system. It's like a radio signal. They come in and out beep, beep, beep, beep, they send signals back and forth. Your body makes changes. On the other hand, what a lot of people don't recognize is maybe if you have a condition like SIBO, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, Michelle (33:00) Mm Mm -hmm. Josh Dech - CHN (33:25) you have a bacterial overgrowth. Sometimes adding probiotics in, there are classes of bacteriums called bacteriocins, which will kill bacteria. So they might be beneficial in SIBO. For example, lactobacillus reuteri or rooteri, call it tomato tomata. But this one can act as a bacteriocin has been shown in clinical to be beneficial in a lot of cases for SIBO to reduce the bacteria. On the other hand, some might contribute to the problem. I had a client with parasites. Michelle (33:42) Mm Josh Dech - CHN (33:55) And she was consuming a lot of probiotics, which were higher in histamines, which contribute to the issue because parasites also can create histamine issues. Even bone broth was bad for her gut because it's high in histamine. And so it made her issues worse. so considering we got probably a thousand, maybe 2000 species, seven to 9 ,000 strains of bacteria makes 15 to 20 million different bacteria. In fact, there's a hundred, think it's 130 times more DNA in your gut bacteria. Michelle (34:07) Mm -hmm, right. Josh Dech - CHN (34:25) than you actually have in the rest of your body. 23 ,000 genes or so in your human genome, 3 million genes inside of your bacteria. So you take this handful of probiotics out of 3 million different genetic strains, it's like a grain of sand on a beach. It may help, it may not. I wouldn't rely on them as a fix all. And there's a lot of ways in there where you can actually cause more problems. You could put black sand on a white beach and you're gonna notice it until it gets mixed in and disperses enough. It can create a problem. And so we have to really Michelle (34:39) Yeah, yeah. Josh Dech - CHN (34:54) keep an eye on what we're putting into our body. I think throwing probiotics in sort of willy -nilly can lead to a lot of issues. Michelle (35:02) Yeah. What about a Sporebase, which are better for SIBO? What are your thoughts on that? Josh Dech - CHN (35:07) Well, spore based, see they're better for SIBO. I've heard that as well. I think my initial thought is look, they get to the large intestine, less so the small intestine. So we're not contributing to the small intestinal issues. But one of the contributors I do see of SIBO, for example, would be parasites. They tend to hang in the bile ducts, like we talked about there, the all important drainage pathways in the liver of the appendix and what's called the ileocecal valve. So right where your small and large intestine will actually connect. Michelle (35:16) Mm Mm Mm -hmm. Josh Dech - CHN (35:37) Parasites can hang out in these issues actually messing with your valves. So even if you have spores going into the large intestine, they can still backflow because the valves will say are broken or jacked up can get into the small intestine. And a lot of SIBO conditions are fecal microbes. So large bowel microbes getting into the small intestine where they should not be. And these areas can cause a lot of problems now too. So I don't know if I'd say they're better for or maybe just less bad then, but maybe it can contribute to the problem. It's hard to say. Michelle (35:40) Mm. Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm. Yeah. Josh Dech - CHN (36:07) But ultimately, know, SIBO is a really nasty condition to have to deal with, but I've seen it as one of the roots that can develop into Crohn's or colitis as well, other bowel diseases. Michelle (36:17) Wow. And what about parasites? So what are some of the things that you can do to, because a lot of times you won't see that in like more generic tests. Josh Dech - CHN (36:27) Yeah, they're very difficult to detect parasites. Even some of the best testing you'll get for stool testing, you're 40 % accurate unless you're finding ovum, live worms or protozoa eggs, et cetera. You know, there's about a million different types of parasites estimated that are available on planet earth. About 1400 can infect humans and you know, it's like, well, I've taken ivermectin or I've taken babendazole or fembendazole some kind of Zol, which is supposed to be good for parasites and they can be. Michelle (36:35) Mm Josh Dech - CHN (36:55) But of the 1400 types, you might not be targeting more than three or four. And again, if your drainage pathways aren't open, you're not really going to be successfully clearing stuff. And so we're looking at parasites. say testing is relatively inaccurate. We have to go by symptoms and even blood, blood chemistry. It's not something I'm an expert in, but I do know people who are very proficient in what's called functional blood chemistry. Well, they'll look at your blood work and go, definitely you have a parasite and here's where I think it is or what type I think it is, which To me is like wizardry. I just have no idea. I'm not that good at blood work, but it's really amazing art. so testing is not amazing for them. Most doctors believe parasites are a third world problem because that's what they were told 20 years ago in med school. But look what we have, the level of immigration we have, the level of import export we have, the level of accessibility for traveling all around the world that we have. Maybe if they used to be, but they're everywhere now to the point where if you've got a pulse, you probably got a parasite. Michelle (37:32) Mm Mm Josh Dech - CHN (37:51) The question is, it causing you a problem right now or not? Because parasites, fungi, bacteria, viruses, they all live in harmony in a healthy gut. With great great grandmothers, 1000 microbes. But now we've got 200 microbes, this dysbiotic state, these opportunistic parasites or fungi or bacteria now overgrow because they have the room to do so. Nothing's keeping them in check. And now they're a problem. So this isn't to say parasites are all bad. Sometimes they're very, very good. Michelle (38:19) Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm. Josh Dech - CHN (38:21) but they're now becoming problematic because we're all so sick. Michelle (38:24) So what do you do and what are some of the symptoms that people can have? Josh Dech - CHN (38:28) so many. So we look at parasites, again, going through symptomatology, I like that we bring this through, because symptoms often speak louder than testing. That's something you have to keep in mind. Again, a parasite test at 40 % accuracy can come back negative 10 times in a row. So we have to look at, you know, abdominal pain. Do you have pain when you palpate or press around the liver, the gallbladder? Do you have all your organs? So looking at tonsils, appendix, gallbladder, if you've lost those, there may be a parasite route. Michelle (38:38) Mm Mm Josh Dech - CHN (38:58) back pain, hip pain, like joint pains, seasonal allergies or other allergies that seem to come up. If you have gut issues and gut symptoms, for example, that may be come and go. So every couple of weeks up and then they're down or seasonally, for example, this could be parasites due to their life cycles, high cholesterol or liver enzymes that are elevated, frequent sinus infections, anemia, because parasites will actually eat iron. They can eat like lungs, liver, kidneys, they can eat iron, they can eat lymphatic fluids if you've got lymphatic issues, mumps chronically, tonsillitis chronically, these can be parasitic issues in nature. Even infertility. Parasites love especially female reproductive organs. So PCOS can sometimes be a parasitic issue at the root or a metabolic issue which may have a parasitic component because parasites can get to these areas in your body. actually encapsulate them in a cyst or a tumor, hence cancers, which is actually a protective mechanism or thought to be protective, where it's trying to enclose these things in rather than DNA mutating and causing a problem. We can have anxiety, depression, hair loss, early hair loss, liver enzymes are elevated, think I mentioned that, psoriasis, eczema, really classic symptoms, rashes and hives, that's just a handful. There's probably 50 or 60 symptoms that could be parasites. but we have to go back to context. You know, have rashes and hives, okay, well could be something else. There could be parasites. Let's look at the rest of the symptoms. I'm not saying if you have one of these things or all these things, I mean, if you have all these things, probably parasites, but if you just have a few, it could be something else, but I wouldn't rule parasites out. Michelle (40:34) Mm And what do you usually do to treat them? Josh Dech - CHN (40:43) Great question. This is something that can be very finicky. Again, a lot of people I talk to, you're hearing this going, I've taken a parasite protocol, I've done a cleanse, it didn't help. You're trying to evict tenants from the building. Are the doors unlocked? And so if you're trying to get rid of parasites, is your drainage open? So we have to work on drainage support. What we do with clients, it's a combination of a lot of things. There's supplementation, there's nutritional, there's lifestyle. Sometimes it's a combination of acupuncture enemas, like coffee enemas. Michelle (40:57) Mm Mm Josh Dech - CHN (41:13) There's a lot of different things we can utilize the open drainage pathways, but everyone's different. And it's something that it really should be done on a supervision. I know you're hearing this right now. Go, I can do that. I can do acupuncture might help you. It might not. It is, but I don't want you putting yourself in the hospital. I have to say that because we can move too many toxins too quickly. You can actually create a commonly known Herc's Heimer reaction, Herc's H -R -X. And this Herc's Heimer reaction is just Michelle (41:13) Mm Mm Yeah, that's important. Yeah. Josh Dech - CHN (41:41) Basically, you're taking too many toxins, you're mobilizing them and your body can't get rid of them properly and you're making yourself very ill. So this is definitely a professional supervision issue, but these are things we can do. So number one is drainage in tandem with or post actually getting rid of or reducing your toxic loads for no longer, right? Turn off the tap. We have to open the drainage pathway so things can get out. We have to begin removing very systematically the problem. I've got clients say 10 of them who are taking the exact same parasite protocol for parasites. Michelle (41:45) Mm -hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Josh Dech - CHN (42:11) but what they're actually doing is that they're taking them 10 different ways, right? Some of them are tapering in one day on, seven off, one day on, six off, one and five. Some are doing full moon protocol. Some are high dose, some are low. Some are cycling through. Some are consistent dosing. Everyone's different based on their presentations and going the wrong way can make people very, very sick as well. So it's a bit of a tailored and catered process, but the gist would be drainage support. antiparasitic, supporting what your body lacks or needs, mitochondrial support, so cellular health and cellular well -being, because that's really where drainage and detoxing starts, is at the cellular level, not the macro level so much. And this is sort of a brief overview of that might look like. Michelle (42:55) So interesting. And another question that I have, a lot of times you'll hear about the keto diet and how I'm not big on fad diets in general, because it's like everything's customized, but you hear about the benefits for some people. The thing with that is that there's barely any fiber. It's really, really low in fiber. So I just wanted to get your take on that. Josh Dech - CHN (43:05) Sure. Sure. It was really interesting. Look at someone like Michaela Peterson, right? Does an amazing job with the lion diet, which is basically red meat, salt and water. I am not against it. I think it's a great therapeutic diet. I'm not sold entirely. I've met with some amazing carnivore doctors and specialists, but I will say I don't believe plants are inherently bad for humans. I do believe an animal based diet tends to be better, but the question has to be asked, is it the pesticides and the chemicals on our food that makes plants the problem? Is it plants themselves? Is it the GMOs and the crops that never existed even 100 or 500 years ago that were not accustomed to eating? The arguments can be made for dairy, where humans have only really domesticated dairy animals for 10 to 15 ,000 years. So are we really adapted to eating dairy? Have we developed or evolved these enzymes and processes to properly assimilate dairy? So the argument about plants versus animal -based I can put it on a very macro level without getting to the nitty gritty and say this. The bigger fish in the bowl, we talked about prebiotics, they eat fiber, right? The bigger fish in the fish bowl will eat first. If you have an overgrowth of bad bacterium, we'll say, we'll say opportunistic, they're causing you problems and they eat first, they poop out problematic things. So going to the lion diet, you're not gonna get nearly as many microbes eating meat, for example, as they would fibers or starches or sugars. So if you cut those things out right away, you've reduced the poop or the byproducts, we call them endotoxins of these microbes by simply cutting fiber. And so you may be starving some out, you may be just not getting over gross, you may be no longer contributing to poisons or toxins so much. And there's two arguments to be made. Well, the beef or the animal might filter the toxins. The other argument is what's called bio magnification, which is where it condenses all these toxins in the tissues, which you then consume. But you can't argue with the data, millions of people. Michelle (44:49) Mm Mm Josh Dech - CHN (45:15) all over the world go carnivore or keto and feel better. The question is, do I believe carbs are inherently bad for you? No. Do I believe they should be more sparingly? Yes, just simply biologically. but, but, but this is the big but, we have to understand that your current state of health and how it's utilizing what you're putting into it makes all the difference. You could put gasoline into a car and it's going to drive for miles. You put gasoline into a car that's on fire and it's going to make a bigger fire. Michelle (45:19) Mm Mm Mm -hmm. Yeah. Josh Dech - CHN (45:45) So it's not the fuel source necessarily that I believe is the problem as much as the body you're putting it into and what's going on on a microbial level. Michelle (45:51) Yes. that's so important. And I think that, yeah, a lot of what you're saying is so important, but that's really the key crux of it is that your body and your body's condition and your snapshot in time at this moment has unique needs, even unique to five years ago, the same body, which actually it's a different body because the body changes all the time. So it is really important that you work with somebody. Josh Dech - CHN (46:04) Yeah. Michelle (46:17) and not do this at home on your own and not self -diagnose because it could be very tempting to do. This is great information, but just hold yourself back from self -diagnosing. Reach out to people like Josh. So actually my next question, if people do want to work with you, how can they reach you? How can they find out more about your work and what you do and get help with their own gut and inflammation? Josh Dech - CHN (46:19) Yes. Yeah, I'd love to be able to help Michelle. The quickest way to reach me, you can find everything you need through our website, gutsolution .ca. We got clients in 26 different countries and all the concurrent time zones. So don't worry about where you're located. We can help. That's gutsolution, all singular, .ca for Canada. You can find our podcast, Reversible, where it's about the gut. It's all how all things impact the gut and vice versa. Michelle, we had you record an episode there recently and it's how our gut and our world interact. It's called Reversible. Reverse Able, the Ultimate Gut Health podcast. And there's also one we released recently about, I'd say six or eight weeks ago, it's called Reversing Crohn's and Colitis Naturally. And it's all about just Crohn's, Colitis and the cruxes and the roots and how we actually get at the root causes of these. But all that can be found, the website, the podcast, contact, help information can all be found at gutsolution .ca. Michelle (47:37) And how do you work with people? Josh Dech - CHN (47:38) Yeah, contrary to what most people believe, we don't actually need to see you in person at all. Strictly through symptoms, I get photos if we need them. We'll have you take pictures of your fingernails, pictures of your tongue, for example. It's part of Chinese medicine, as you know, can give us lots of information. We look at blood work. We'll look at your symptoms. We'll look at you as an individual. And we'll spend, I'll spend 30 minutes to an hour on a first call. We get someone through the program and register. There's probably 100, 200 different questions. Michelle (47:49) Mm Mm Josh Dech - CHN (48:08) Extremely thorough intake we do secondary interviews then we do programming and we actually work with you on a weekly basis for 16 weeks very hand -holding process and that's what it looks like because Dealing with bowel disease, know that things can change in an instant You can go from healthy to a flare or healthy to sick to constipation to diarrhea What your doctor does is here's a med see me in three to six months. We'll see how you're doing That doesn't help. You're barely managing and your body can be so finicky Michelle (48:33) Mm Yeah. Yeah. Josh Dech - CHN (48:37) And so our job is 16 weeks. And I'll tell you, Michelle, we had a lady recently came out of our program was working not with myself, actually, with Curtis, one of our other specialists. And 16 weeks, she came out after 15 years. She was diagnosed in 2013, a couple of years of bowel disease before that. Her colon was so severe, she described it as squirrels with razor blades running around on her insides. So severe, they were on the cusp of cutting her bowels out. 16 weeks, she came back, her doctors jaw on the floor is like, I've never seen anything like this. Michelle (48:58) my God, wow. Yeah. Josh Dech - CHN (49:06) perfect colonoscopy. had one little speck left that we're still obviously going to be fixing, but it took 16 weeks. That's it. And not everybody responds as well. Some respond quicker, but this is what's possible. And I just really want to encourage just if you're listening to this right now, you're like, I've got Crohn's colitis or even severe IBS. I've been told it's genetic autoimmune. There's no known cause. So much can be done. Just start with the website. There's podcasts on there. There's information on that. There's videos on there. Michelle (49:14) Wow. Yeah. Josh Dech - CHN (49:35) There's so much about it that we just want to creak that door open for you and show you what's possible. But again, just head to gut solution .ca and do some diving. Michelle (49:44) Awesome. Josh, this is amazing. Really, really amazing. And also so important. I can't even stress it enough. I see it a lot even in my patients that come in. and something that I think everybody listening to this, if you're trying to conceive, you have to go check out Josh and listen to his podcast and learn more because I think it's just so valuable. So thank you so much for coming on today. This is great. Josh Dech - CHN (50:07) Thank you. It's been a pleasure, Michelle. And if I could leave one little nugget, if you're considering, if you're trying to conceive or have plans in the future, get ahead of the gut because you can, we talked about great grandma passing down this dysbiosis to you, you can pass down disease to your children. It'll be called genetic. I've seen babies, know, infants. I'm talking a couple of months to two, three years old with bowel disease because we just didn't know ahead of time that we need to be dealing with our gut issues before having children. because these are the issues we can pass. All those opportunistic microbes, the fungi and parasites, they will come from you to your baby. And this goes both ways. The sperm quality has a lot more to do with it than we used to. We used to say, well, everything's up to mom. It is in development, but even the sperm quality, if mom or dad have gut issues, there's a much higher risk for your baby having some kind of issue down the road. And I just really want to encourage you, if you think there might be gut stuff where you know there's a diagnosis, start there. long before conception, only will it help in your ability to conceive but to carry a baby to full term and have a healthy baby to give them the best possible future. That's where we start. We have to start in your guts. Michelle (51:20) So important. Thank you so much, Josh. Josh Dech - CHN (51:23) A pleasure, Michelle. Thank you for having me.
Décision attendue ce jeudi de la Cour d'appel de Paris dans le procès mené contre Bayer-Monsanto et 13 autres groupes agrochimiques qui ont fourni l'agent orange à l'armée américaine. L'agent orange, c'est cet herbicide ultra-toxique utilisé pendant la guerre du Vietnam. Le quotidien français La Croix a rencontré Tran To Nga, la franco-vietnamienne de 82 ans qui a lancé ce long combat judiciaire. Elle raconte comment, en 1966, alors que la jeune journaliste se rend dans le nord du pays – le Sud est alors soutenu par les États-Unis contre l'insurrection communiste du nord, elle reçoit « du poison », l'agent orange, déversé par des avions alors qu'elle sort d'un abri.Des années plus tard, Tran To Nga perd son premier enfant de 17 mois, les deux suivants naissent avec des malformations cardiaques... et les médecins lui découvrent un cancer du sein, du diabète et une tuberculose : « Je pensais que c'était dû à ma vie de résistante », explique-t-elle, « mais ce n'est que plus tard que j'ai compris que c'était lié à l'agent orange ». Un rapport, en 2003, révèle que quatre millions de Vietnamiens ont été contaminés.En 2009, Tran To Nga rencontre l'avocat français William Bourdon et le collectif Vietnam Dioxine. Aux États-Unis, toutes les tentatives de faire condamner les grandes entreprises américaines ont échoué. Tran To Nga accepte, en tant que victime française, devenir porte-voix et déclencher la mobilisation. Un premier procès a lieu en 2021 au tribunal d'Évry, qui se déclare incompétent. Aujourd'hui, on attend le résultat de la procédure d'appel. Si la décision de première instance est infirmée, explique un des avocats de Tran to Nga, « cela ouvrira la porte à un vrai procès sur le fond ». Tran To Nga, que Heike Schmidt a interrogé pour RFI.À lire aussi«Agent orange»: l'action en justice contre Bayer-Monsanto et 13 autres groupes jugée «irrecevable» en appelEn Russie, la centrale nucléaire de Koursk en état d'alerteL'Ukraine continue sa percée en Russie, et à 50 kilomètres des combats, la centrale nucléaire de Koursk est en état d'alerte. L'envoyé spécial du Figaro s'est tendu sur place, enfin presque – le maire de Kourtchakov l'a emmené sur une petite embarcation, naviguant sur le lac réservoir créé il y a un demi-siècle pour refroidir les quatre réacteurs. La structure, écrit le journaliste, « évoque celle, funeste », de Tchernobyl – les deux centrales datent de la même époque.En ville, les militaires ne sont guère visibles : « il s'agit manifestement de ne pas créer d'effet de panique dans la population ». Mais un régime d'alerte antiterroriste a été imposé. Il y a une semaine, un des responsables de la contre-offensive russe affirmait que « l'armée ukrainienne avait prévu de prendre la centrale de Koursk vers le 11 août, après quoi leur intention était de lancer un ultimatum à la Russie ». Mais le Figaro estime qu'« il ne semble guère avéré, à ce stade de leur opération sur le territoire russe, que les forces ukrainiennes aient la volonté – ni sans doute les moyens – de s'emparer de la centrale de Koursk ». À lire aussiGuerre en Ukraine: «Les Russes avancent lentement, mais de plus en plus vite» dans le DonbassTim Walz accepte officiellement l'investiture démocrateAux États-Unis, troisième jour de la convention démocrate à Chicago, avec l'intervention du colistier de Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, qui n'a pas manqué de qualifier Donald Trump de « bizarre » et de « dangereux ». Le New York Times rappelle que depuis qu'il a rejoint le ticket démocrate, il s'est « empressé de s'attaquer » à l'ancien président, dans « un mélange de sarcasmes mordants et de commentaires plein d'esprits ». Le Soir estime que le nouvel objectif démocrate est de « ridiculiser Donald Trump », et qu'il fait florès – « tous les leaders démocrates alimentent un filon inépuisable ». Avec un Donald Trump qui répond, comme lors d'un meeting lundi 19 aout dernier où il s'est défendu d'être bizarre – « c'est lui qui est bizarre ».Une tactique qui pourrait, selon le quotidien belge, s'avérer plus efficace que les avertissements sur « le danger pour la démocratie » que poserait le candidat républicain - et sur lequel insistait Joe Biden lorsqu'il était lui-même candidat. Maintenant, avec Kamala Harris, c'est plutôt la notion de liberté que les démocrates mettent en avant : « Plus que toute autre chose, choisissons la liberté. Pourquoi ? Parce que c'est le meilleur des États-Unis », a encore martelé la nuit dernière à Chicago la célèbre présentatrice Oprah Winfrey, rapporte le Times.Kamala Harris, elle, était montée sur scène lundi au son du Freedom de Beyoncé : « Les démocrates reprennent aux républicains l'étendard de la liberté », titrait ce mercredi Le Monde. Liberté du corps des femmes entre autres : le Washington Post note qu'à Chicago, les intervenantes ont partagé leurs histoires personnelles d'avortement, de fausse couche et de stérilité ; ce qui « reflète la volonté croissante des candidates de parler de leur passé reproductif, autrefois considéré comme un handicap ». Et puis « la lutte pour le droit à l'avortement est considérée comme un sujet gagnant pour les démocrates ».Bref, à Chicago, « celles qui ont laissé leur marque furent des sénateurs, des gouverneurs, des députés, des femmes » remarque le Corriere della Sera : Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. « Kamala Harris mène le tournant interne des démocrates : le parti dirigé par des femmes », titre le quotidien italien.À lire aussiÉtats-Unis: Tim Walz accepte l'investiture des démocrates et devient le colistier de Kamala Harris

El 1ro de abril México debía convertirse en un país libre de glifosato, un herbicida muy utilizado en la agricultura mexicana para el maíz, fríjol, hortalizas o los cultivos de aguacate. Sin embargo, el presidente López Obrador pospuso la medida ante la ausencia de sustancias alternativas. Todo inició en 2020 cuando el gobierno mexicano emitió un decreto que prometía el abandono gradual del glifosato hasta su prohibición definitiva el 1ro de abril de 2024, al mismo tiempo que se buscaba suspender la importación de maíz transgénico.El decreto pedía entonces al Consejo Nacional de Humanidades , Cencia y Tecnología de México (Conahcyt) buscar alternativas saludables a los 25 millones de litros de glifosato que se vaporizan anualmente en los campos mexicanos. Esta alternativa sin embargo no ha llegado aún, por lo que se seguirá usando glifosato, como lo pedía el Consejo Nacional Agropecuario, CNA. Dicha organización, que representa la agroindustria mexicana, presionó al gobierno, junto con Bayer-Monsanto para evitar que entre en vigor la prohibición del glifosato en México una vez concluida la fase de transición de tres años.“Estimamos que más de tres millones de productores utilizan glifosato en México y la mayor parte son pequeños, pequeños y medianos productores. No se ha encontrado ninguna otra molécula que tenga los beneficios que tiene el glifosato y si se encuentra que hay algo que es mejor, pues enhorabuena”, decía a RFI a finales de marzo, Juan Cortina, presidente del CNA.“El año pasado, las autoridades mexicanas solo autorizaron la importación del 64% de las cantidades de glifosato que se pedían”, afirma Cortina, quien agrega que esta política “ha generado un mercado negro”.“No es que no haya [glifosato]. Sí lo encuentras, pero lo encuentras más caro, y no solo eso, ahora lo que estamos encontrando es el glifosato barato chino, que no necesariamente tiene la calidad y las características que uno le gustaría”, apunta Juan Cortina. “No hay alternativas” al glifosato, concluye. En México como en Estados Unidos, Suramérica o Europa sin embargo se han alzado voces para evitar el uso del glifosato por sus efectos nocivos. Se han encontrado por ejemplo rastros de este herbicida en las abejas en la región de Yucatán, donde se usa masivamente el producto en los cultivos de soja.“Mencionar que las empresas, en particular la empresa conocida Monsanto que, desde los años 80 estaba iniciando la investigación en el uso de glifosato como herbicida conocía de sus efectos y daños potenciales en la salud, usando modelos animales y también en diferentes aspectos ecológicos como en los polinizadores. Sin embargo, siguió la investigación”, recuerda el investigador en biotecnologías del Conahcyt Emmanuel González.González recuerda el “gran cúmulo de investigaciones que apunta a daños en sistema biológico”: daños a la salud de ratas hasta en tres generaciones en animales expuestos al glifosato con aparición de tumores, alteraciones a nivel de órganos como hígado, estómago y sistema endocrino.“Conocemos las investigaciones de colegas argentinos que han hecho levantamiento de datos y censos en poblaciones argentinas que están muy cercanas a zonas agrícolas que son rociadas con glifosato y donde se han encontrado mayores tasas de diferentes tipos de cánceres”, subraya el investigador, consultado por RFI.Entrevista completa:Desde la sociedad civil mexicana, organizaciones como la ONG Greenpeace o el colectivo Semillas de Vida respaldan la prohibición del glifosato.Otros países enfrentan también los mismos obstáculos para prohibir el herbicida de Monsanto. El presidente Macron por ejemplo prometió en 2017 que Francia prohibiría el glifosato en un plazo de 3 años. Una promesa finalmente abandonada en medio de fuertes presiones del lobby agropecuario. A nivel europeo también se observa una menor ambición en materia ecológica. El año pasado, la Comisión Europea reautorizó por 10 años la comercialización del glifosato, aunque con algunas restricciones para su uso.Entrevistas: >Juan Cortina, Consejo Nacional Agropecuario.>Monserrat Téllez, activista del colectivo 'Semillas de Vida' que lucha contra el glifosato y el maíz genéticamente modificado. Entrevistada por Ubaldo Bravo.>Emmanuel González, investigador del Conahcyt, especialista en biotecnologías.
En una clara defensa de los intereses de grandes corporaciones –como Bayer-Monsanto–, el gobierno de Estados Unidos solicitó a México establecer ya un panel arbitral sobre maíz genéticamente modificado, tal como había amenazado en meses previos.
La nueva Ley General de Humanidades, Ciencias, Tecnologías e Innovación prohíbe la transferencia de dinero público a las grandes corporaciones –como Kimberly Clark, Bayer-Monsanto, BMW, Intel, entre otras– a través del Conahcyt, que hicieron ilegítimamente los gobiernos de Fox, Calderón y Peña, señala en entrevista la doctora Álvarez-Buylla

Se video av dette intervjuet på Pusterom.comJan Kerr Eckbo har en bachelor- og mastergrad, samt at han begynte på en doktorgrad i naturvitenskap - alt ved Stanford University i USA. Han forteller hvordan den spanske og tyske staten sammensverget for å skjule over 1000 dødsfall på grunn av sprøytemidler i Spania. Selskapet bak dette, Monsanto, har aldri blitt straffet og selger fortsatt produktet Roundup, men med andre ingredienser. Eckbo forteller at statene de senere årene har godtatt høyere grenseverdier for skadelige stoffer. Han selv har vært i dialig med Norges miljø- og biovitenskapelige universitet på Ås, angående norske myndigheters godkjenning av det svært giftige stoffet Malation i myggmidler.Jan Kerr Eckbo:› Maktens narrespillKilder i nevnt rekkefølge:› Monsanto (søk) • Monsanto cancer (søk)› Bayer Monsanto (søk)› Roundup (søk) • glyphosate cancer (søk) • Glyphosate (søk) • Glyphosate risks (søk)› Factbox: Fake olive oil scandal that caused Spain's worst food poisoning epidemic in 1981› Victims of a 1981 mass cooking-oil poisoning occupy Madrid museum, threaten suicide› malathion (søk)› fhi.no: Regjeringen etablerte Statens institutt for folkehelse (SIFF) med 18 ansatte ved hjelp av en gave på 1 million kroner fra Rockefeller Foundation› Our prescription drugs kill us in large numbers› link between food and cancer (søk)› nytimes.com: Science watch; New study affirms link i cancer and dietRelaterte AJP-episoder:› AJP 91 | Jan Kerr Eckbo — Sammendragene i klimarapportene er usanne› AJP 89 | Jan Kerr Eckbo — Legemiddelindustrien bruker mafia-metoderLast ned episodenInnspilt: 2023-06-12Publisert: 2023-12-07Støtte Antijantepodden?Liker du arbeidet vi gjør, og vil bidra til at vi lager flere episoder?Finn ut hvordan du kan gi noe tilbake ved å gå til antijantepodden.com!Meld deg på vårt nyhetsbrev

C'est l'un des pesticides les plus controversés et les plus utilisés dans le monde. Le glyphosate, de formule chimique C3H8NO5P, est un herbicide systémique capable d'éliminer un large éventail de plantes, ces dernières comprenant aussi bien des mauvaises herbes que des plantes cultivées. C'est la marque Monsanto qui l'a d'abord commercialisé en 1974, avant que le brevet ne devienne public et permette à d'autres marques de s'en saisir après 2000. Le 13 octobre 2023, les pays membres de l'Union Européenne ont débattu sur les dangers du glyphosate sans parvenir à s'entendre.Pourquoi le débat est-il rouvert sur l'autorisation du glyphosate ?En 2015, l'Autorité européenne de sécurité des aliments, l'Efsa, rendait les résultats de son étude sur le glyphosate. Elle estimait que les niveaux d'exposition au pesticide rendaient improbable le risque cancérogène chez l'homme, alors même que le Centre international de recherche sur le cancer classait la même année la substance comme probablement cancérogène.En octobre 2017, une initiative citoyenne européenne recueillant 1 070 865 signatures a été déposée devant la Commission européenne. Elle mettait en avant les risques liés au glyphosate et demandait son interdiction. Mais, s'appuyant sur les résultats de l'Efsa, la Commission européenne a tranché pour une autorisation jusqu'en décembre 2022, pour laquelle la France avait exprimé son désaccord.Cette autorisation a été réévaluée et prolongée jusqu'en décembre 2023. Les États membres de l'UE discutent donc activement de l'intérêt de renouveler ou non l'autorisation d'utilisation du glyphosate.Un sujet complexe et controverséCe qui rend le débat si complexe, c'est que les preuves scientifiques sur la dangerosité du glyphosate ne sont pas concluantes ou, au mieux, divergentes. La Commission européenne estime que les nouvelles informations relatives aux risques pour la santé ne devraient pas être disponibles rapidement, ce qui l'a conduit à proposer le 13 octobre 2023 une autorisation de 10 ans supplémentaires.Le poids économique du glyphosate pèse largement dans la balance. Une interdiction de ladite substance, peu onéreuse et très efficace, pourrait amoindrir considérablement les rendements des cultures et pousser les agriculteurs vers des alternatives plus coûteuses. La pression de Bayer-Monsanto auprès des décideurs est également un biais majeur, au vu de la puissance économique du groupe.Au sein des membres de l'UE, les pays les plus riches comme la France tendent à promouvoir une interdiction, tandis que les pays plus faibles économiquement s'avèrent plus réticents à prendre des mesures aussi strictes. Alors que l'UE adopte volontiers le principe de précaution en termes de réglementation des produits chimiques, elle se heurte ici à des considérations économiques cruciales et à des données scientifiques non convaincantes.L'avenir du glyphosateSous réserve d'acceptation de la majorité qualifiée, le glyphosate sera toujours autorisé après décembre 2023, ce qui n'empêchera pas les États désireux de s'en passer de promouvoir des alternatives plus saines.

In this 179th episode of the Live Healthy Be Well, we are re-broadcasting a recent interview Jeffrey did with Nancy Pearlman of Environmental Directions Radio. Since 1977, Nancy has hosted and produced this longest running environmental radio show. In this radio show Nancy and Jeffrey discuss: The connection between GMOs and Bayer/Monsanto's chief herbicide, Roundup which contains the dangerous chemical glyphosate. How Roundup ready corn, which has been genetically modified to survive after being sprayed with Roundup, has been linked to organ damage in rats that were fed the corn. How BT Toxin corn, another genetically modified product created by Monsanto, has been linked to inflammatory bowel disease, various cancers, obesity, anxiety, diabetes, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, high blood pressure, autism, insomnia, celiac disease, kidney problems, all sorts of birth defects, intestinal infections and senile dementia. How the biotech industry has convinced the world that GMOs are needed in order to feed the planet and how this is an outright lie. What is GMO 2.0? IRT's six-minute animated journey, Seven Reasons Why Gene Editing is Dangerous and Unpredictable. The dangers of GMO 2.0 to the human and global microbiome illustrated in the 16-minute documentary, Don't Let the Gene out of the Bottle.

In this 174th episode of the Live Healthy Be Well podcast, Jeffrey Smith discusses the potential health risks associated with genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and the herbicide Roundup. He emphasizes the connection between leaky gut syndrome, autoimmune diseases, allergies, inflammation, cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and autism, suggesting that the prevalence of leaky gut may be linked to the consumption of BT corn, which contains the BT toxin. In addition, Jeffrey also speculates that BT genes from GMOs could transfer to gut bacteria, turning them into toxin-producing factories within the digestive tract. Roundup, the primary herbicide sold by Bayer/Monsanto, which contains glyphosate, may contribute to digestive disorders, cancer, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and reproductive issues. Many studies show harmful effects on animals exposed to GMOs and Roundup. The Institute for Responsible Technology is working to protect you & the World from GMOs (and while we're at it, Roundup®...)

The Tom Renz Show – We are fighting to expose the corruption of Big Pharma, Bayer Monsanto, and Merck, who are paying off politicians to vote against informed consent to experiment on our families, inject our children with medicines without our knowledge, and effectively turn us all into lab rats. This is criminal, it's unconstitutional, and it violates Nuremberg...
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.

Many visual artists start by envisioning scenes or images, or they work from sketches, photos or memories. Kirsten Stolle has spent a decade taking artistic inspiration from agrochemical companies. She pulls and manipulates imagery and text to spotlight what she calls the greenwashing and troubled histories of Bayer-Monsanto and Dow Chemical. In this episode, Stolle talks with Matt Peiken about the seeds of her artistic inquiry, the heavy research fuelling her work and the line she straddles between artistry and activism.

Glyphosate is one of the most common ingredients in herbicides, and the main ingredient in Bayer/Monsanto's infamous weedkiller: Round Up. The latter is one of the worlds most widely used herbicides with various applications including: weed control in agriculture, vegetation control, as a crop desiccant, in consumer home gardens and lawns, and in massive aerial spraying to control illegal crops. It is also used extensively in home gardens and lawns, landscape, ornamental nursery, forestry, roadside and turf management. In 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified glyphosate as probably carcinogenic in humans"; studies had confirmed it caused cancer in lab animals. However, the EPA maintains that glyphosate is safe for human use, despite multiple studies demonstrating otherwise. RoundUp and glyphosate-based products have had devastating impacts on our food systems, agriculture, public health, and ecosystem in the broadest sense. Join Kelly Ryerson as she reveals truths about glyphosate, what we need to do about it, and how we can create the better world we seek. While glyphosate continues to be a planetary health emergency, we as a collective, can catalyze change by making informed consumer choices and advocating against chemical products and farming practices that cause irreparable harm. While several plaintiffs have recently succeeded in winning massive verdicts in court, to redress harms they suffered from Roundup, it will take many more of us to fully eradicate not only Glyphosate, but all toxic chemicals for the sake of planetary health. Kelly Ryerson, Founder of Glyphosate Facts [http://www.glyphosatefacts.com], works at the intersection of agriculture, nutrition and health as a writer, speaker and policy consultant. She started the news site Glyphosate Facts as an educational resource to help spread awareness of the health impacts of chemical agriculture.

WE'VE GONE AND DONE IT! EIGHT HOURS LATER, THE MONSANTO SEASON IS COMPLETE! This episode goes over Bayer's disastrous acquisition of Monsanto, how the antitrust division of the US government is simply set up to fail, and we have a look back on all of the hee-hees and haw-haws of the Monsanto season. After sitting in that studio for hours on end with Bluid and Amy, I think we deserve a little retrospective as a treat. I hope you're all feeling emotionally ok after this season. Drink some water.

In a decision that ricocheted around the world this month, the European Commission announced it had blocked the $8 billion Illumina-Grail merger. Arguing that Illumina's acquisition of Grail, a cancer-testing company, would stifle innovation, Commissioner Margrethe Vestager appeared to be harking back to a theory of harm that was the talk of the town back in the late 2010s, when the Dow-Dupont and Bayer-Monsanto deals were making headlines. More importantly, though, the European Commission's decision leaves the EU out of sync with the US, where a court has overturned a regulator's attempt to block the deal.
GMO/Toxin Free USA's Fork the System PodcastEpisode 001 Glyphosate & Roundup: Poison in Our Daily BreadIt's not surprising that glyphosate, the so-called active ingredient in Bayer-Monsanto's Roundup weedkiller, is found in foods made with glyphosate-tolerant GMO crops like corn, soy and canola. But why is glyphosate herbicide showing up in non-GMO and organic foods too? In this episode of Fork the System, GMO/Toxin Free USA staffer Nomi Carmona hosts a conversation with Henry Rowlands, founder of The Detox Project, about the results of the most comprehensive glyphosate testing of food products ever conducted in the United States. The Detox Project's most recent report, The Poison in Our Daily Bread, shines a light on the true levels of cancer-causing glyphosate contamination in essential foods, like whole grain and whole wheat breads, sold by some of the top grocery stores in the country, including Whole Foods Market, Amazon, Walmart, and Target.What more can we do to avoid carcinogenic glyphosate in our food? As consumers and as activists, what can we do to help beat back the rising glyphosate contamination of our food supply?

La manifestation contre Bayer-Monsanto a réuni à Vaise environ 2000 personnes. Le groupe pharmaceutique et agrochimique allemand est visé par de nombreuses organisations comme Youth for The Climate, Extinction Rebellion ou les Faucheurs-Volontaires. Manipulation autour de la dangerosité du glyphosate, développement de nouveaux OGM, pesticides... tels sont les principaux griefs pointés contre un groupe qui, en 2021, a engrangé un bénéfice net d'un milliard d'euros. Bayer a réagi aux actions menées via un communiqué. « Le collectif des Soulèvements de la Terre a posé il y a quelques semaines déjà un ultimatum à l'encontre de l'implantation de Bayer en France. Cette méthode et les menaces qui l'accompagnent sont en contradiction complète avec la volonté de dialogue dont Bayer fait preuve sur ses activités » commente le groupe allemand. Lors de cette manifestation, nous avons rencontré Gérard Boinon, paysan toute sa vie, empoisonné par les pesticides en 1984. Il est aussi l'auteur du livre « Le Berger des Mésanges Bleues ».

Yanis Varoufakis ist in Deutschland den Zuschauern des eher unterhaltenden Teils des öffentlich-rechtlichen Fernsehens bekannt ob der Mittelfingeraffäre, bei der er das empörende Körperteil doch tatsächlich uns Deutschen, ja, uns allen Deutschen, gezeigt haben soll, ob unserer Haltung gegenüber den Griechen, ja, allen Griechen, in der Finanzkrise nach 2008. Es war nur ein Böhmermann-Fake dessen Empörungspotential zehn Jahre später niemand mehr nachvollziehen kann, der seitdem einmal in Griechenland Urlaub gemacht hat und auch nur mit einem Griechen geredet hat.Lesern des Politik- oder Wirtschaftsteils deutscher Tageszeitungen ist Yanis Varoufakis wiederum als griechischer Finanzminister für stolze sechs Monate in 2015 bekannt, in denen er es doch tatsächlich wagte, konstruktive Lösungen für die Probleme zu finden, die sein Land durch den Kollaps eines wohl konstruierten Systems von Investment- und Zentralbanken bekam. Dieses System hatte Griechenland schon in den neunziger Jahren als Spekulationsleckerbissen auserkoren und nun, 20 Jahre später, halb verdaut, wieder ausgekotzt; mit allen seinen 11 Millionen Einwohnern. Am Tisch sitzend mit sechsundzwanzig europäischen Finanzministern um Lösungen zu finden, musste Varoufakis feststellen, dass er auf der falschen Party war. Wollte er doch als Grieche seinen Landsleuten den Lebensunterhalt retten, saßen ihm gegenüber jedoch diejenigen, die die Spekulationen derjenigen finanziert hatten, die die ältesten Demokratie der Welt mal ebenso ruinierten, um sich mit den Gewinnen den nächsten Appetit zu holen. Denn der Spekulant ist niemals satt und konnte sich aktuell nicht zwischen dem nächsten Milliarden-Dollar-Leckerlie entscheiden: italienische Pizza oder spanische Paella? Sowas will finanziert sein, vermittelten die Finanzminister in kompliziert verklausulierten Phrasen, da bleibt leider nichts übrig für Gyros in Pita mit Pommes. Ist auch nicht gesund, sagten die Gesundheitsminister aus Deutschland und Frankreich, setzten die Griechen auf Diät und sparten gleich noch das Gesundheitssystem mit ein. Brauchen die dann nicht mehr.Frustriert aber nicht besonders überrascht versuchte Yanis Varoufakis noch die eine oder andere Volte und gab nach ein paar Monaten auf, um sich seitdem der Realität nicht mehr frontal, sondern von der Seite zu nähern. Er ist kein reiner Akademiker mehr, wie vor seinem Ausflug in die Politik, aber er reibt sich auch nicht auf, frustriert und desillusioniert, wie man es nach sechs Monaten in den Mühlen der Brüsseler Bürokratie erwartet hätte. Varoufakis schreibt jetzt Bücher, zunächst durchaus bitter klingende Abrechnungen mit dem System, gegen das er keine Chance hatte, dann jedoch ein wunderbares Erklärwerk, in dem er seiner Tochter den Kapitalismus erläutert und wir alle profitierten davon.Was alle diese Werke besonders macht ist der Autor, dessen Herkunft und akademischer und beruflicher Werdegang von so vielen Wendungen geprägt ist, der so oft die Perspektive wechseln konnte und musste, dass seine Bücher eines nicht sein können: stringente wissenschaftliche Werke von Prolog, These, Antithese und Synthese, Epilog mit Fußzeilen, Anhang und Glossar, die stolz und ungelesen in Bücherschränken stehen. Es sind anregende, Ideen vermittelnde Essays, strotzend von Wissen um Geschichte und Zusammenhänge, geschrieben mit wirklicher Leidenschaft und nur ganz manchmal etwas zu viel Stolz auf die alten Griechen.Varoufakis bezeichnete sich selbst gerne als "erratischen", neuerdings als "libertären Kommunisten". Ihn damit in der Mitte des politischen Spektrums zu verorten wäre jedoch falsch, er ist ein Linker wie aus dem Bilderbuch, allein seine Karriere als Student an der University of Essex in Großbritannien liest sich wie Satire: Varoufakis war Ende der Siebziger nicht nur in den üblichen Unterstützerkommités für den ANC, die Chilenische Opposition, die PLO und gegen den Krieg in Nordirland sondern, wirklich, auch gewählter Sekretär der "Black Student Alliance" der University of Essex. Als Grieche.Als Doktor der Mathematik mit einer Promotion über Spieltheorie hielt er danach an einem halben Dutzend Hochschulen Professuren über Ökonomie und Ökonometrie, sprich, die messbaren Grundlagen dieser Möchtegern-Wissenschaft zwischen Psychologie, Soziologie und kapitalistischer Rechtfertigungstheorie, bis er beschloss ein wenig mehr in der Praxis zu forschen. Unter anderem und am bekanntesten wurde er bei Valve, der Firma hinter der größten Computerspielplattform Steam, angestellt um die Ökonomie von In-Game-Währungen zu untersuchen, also dem, was heute, ein paar Jahre später, der feuchte Traum eines jeden Libertären ist: Die autonome, dezentrale Digitale Währung, auf Deutsch: Bitcoin.Kurz: libertärer Kommunist trifft es ziemlich gut.Wenn man seinen Vater dazu nimmt, welcher zwar immer im kommunistischen Widerstand gegen die rechten griechischen Juntas, von den Neunzehnvierzigern bis Ende der Neunzehnsiebziger war, und der dennoch im Jahr 2020 als Vorstandsvorsitzender des größten griechischen Stahlproduzenten aus dem Berufsleben ausschied, kann man sich vorstellen, wie oft Varoufakis mit seiner Familie, seinen Kommilitonen, Kollegen, Freunden und sich selbst Argumente diskutierte, statt immer wieder die gleichen Dogmen zu postulieren. Auch seiner Bücher Kapitel schwanken, wie seine Ansichten, schon immer angenehm vom Für zum Wider, vom Pro zum Contra - eine Tatsache, die Varoufakis in der Selbstreflektion sein Scheitern als amtsführenden Politiker erklärt haben wird.Das Resultat dieser Erkenntnis liegt seit einem Jahr in den Regalen der Buchhandlungen im Englischen als "Another Now: Dispatches from an Alternative Present" oder im Deutschen als "Ein Anderes Jetzt: Nachrichten aus einer alternativen Gegenwart".Stilistisch macht Yanis einen Varoufakis, lehnt sich zurück, denkt nach und kommt mit einer überraschenden aber einleuchtenden Idee: Statt eines weiteren überlangen Essays mit Pro und Contra, Für und Wider, besinnt er sich auf ein Leben von geführten Gesprächen und bemüht, absolut logisch, den griechischen Urvater des Genres: Platon. Statt dem Leser in Absätzen Ideen und Argumente zu erklären, erschafft sich Varoufakis drei Alter Ego und lässt diese in Dialogen Argumente gegen unsere aktuelle gesellschaftliche Ordnung diskutieren, Alternativen finden und analysieren, hinterfragen und verwerfen und, wichtig für einen, der kein reiner Akademiker mehr ist: deren Verwirklichung planen. Kurz: Varoufakis schreibt uns eine Utopie und lässt seine Alter Egos diese von allen Seiten betrachten, diskutieren, auseinandernehmen und wieder zusammensetzen.Als da wären:Costa ist ein Varoufakis, der sein akademisches, mathematisches, physikalisches Wissen genutzt hat um sich ein finanzielles Polster zu schaffen und mit diesem die reine Lehre zu betreiben, zu forschen. Er liefert in den Dialogen die technologischen Grundlagen, mit denen eine moderne Gesellschaft aufgebaut werden kann, Digitalisierung, Kommunikation - und die Grundlage für die leicht krude Backstory, in der das Buch spielt. Es geht um Wurmlöcher. Oder so. Costa ist Techno-Varo.Eva ist der libertäre Varoufakis, der an die Kraft der Märkte glaubt. Sie glaubt an die Weisheit der Gier von Aktionären, dass es richtig ist, dass wer mehr leistet, mehr verdient. Das man jeden Dollar nur einmal ausgeben kann, und dass wir ohne das Streben nach Profit nicht in 300 km/h schnellen Zügen zwischen Berlin und Dresden sitzend auf Iphones Spielfilme schauen könnten. Wie gesagt, Varoufakis schreibt eine Utopie. Eva ist Lib-Varo.Iris ist der Varoufakis in seiner Studentenzeit. Sie kämpfte an der Seite von Bergarbeitern in England in den Streiks der Siebziger und fragte sich damals schon, ob es weise ist, für eine sterbende Industrie zu kämpfen. Sie weiß, dass der Kapitalismus nicht funktionieren kann und verzweifelt daran, dass sich die Linke nicht endlich einigt um dem Spuk ein Ende zu bereiten. Sie kennt jede progressive Theorie und hasst die linken, woken Grabenkämpfe, in denen es wichtiger ist, wie sich jemand nennt als was er tut. Iris ist der Feminist in Varoufakis und Iris ist ernsthaft frustriert und erschöpft von der Linken. Aber sie ist der Rote Varo.Nach einem ziemlich schlechten und wirklich zu langem Versuch narrativ an den Punkt zu kommen, in dem sich die drei Alter-Ego Varoufakis miteinander unterhalten können, geht es endlich los:Techno-Varo schafft es auf eine ziemlich absurde Art und Weise mit sich selbst in einem parallelen Universum zu kommunizieren (fragt nicht). Dieses "Other Now" wie es fortan genannt wird, hat sich von "Unserem Jetzt" im Jahr 2008, also just im Moment der letzten Finanzkrise, abgespalten und eine andere gesellschaftliche Entwicklung genommen. Als in unserem Jetzt nach dem Kollaps der Lehman Brothers Investment Bank, weltweit Banken hunderte Milliarden aus Staatshaushalten bekamen, damit sie nicht mit kollabieren, wurden im anderen Jetzt, der Parallelwelt, Währungen und damit Banken abgeschafft. "What the f**k?" fragt man sich und hier beginnt Varoufakis mit dem, was er ganz hervorragend kann: Erklären. Und zwar Sachverhalte, die uns alle direkt und täglich betreffen, und die wir dennoch nicht intuitiv verstehen. Die aber, zumindest mit der Hilfe didaktischer Zauberkünstler wie Yanis Varoufakis verstehbar sind, und zwar mit deutlich weniger Anstrengung als man ängstlich denkt.Wie schafft man also Geld ab? Zunächst muss man verstehen, wie Geld entsteht. Seit der zweiten Hälfte des letzten Jahrhunderts wird Geld im Prinzip von einer Zentralbank gedruckt und an kommerzielle Banken verliehen, also die Deutsche Bank, die Commerzbank und wie die Sympathen des Kapitalismus alle heißen. Diese wiederum verleihen das Geld eigentlich und bis zum Jahr 2008 auch halbwegs zuverlässig an Unternehmen, also an die Bäckerei Graf oder auch Bayer/Monsanto, welche dieses dann an die abhängig beschäftigte Bevölkerung zu sehr kleinen Teilen und ihren Aktieninhabern in entsprechend riesigen auszahlen.Die Frage, die Varoufakis hier und durchgehend im Buch stellt ist, immer die gleiche: "Warum?". Selbst uns feststehendste Paradigmen und generationenalte Gewissheiten werden mit einem simplen "Und warum genau machen wir das so?" hinterfragt. Oder wie mein alter Zeichenlehrer Zetsch zu sagen pflegte: "Wenn Dir einer sagt, das mache er schon zwanzisch Jahre so, sag ihm 'Man kann etwas auch zwanzisch Jahre lang falsch machen'". Die beiden hätten sich blendend unterhalten.Hier also, und das kann wirklich nur ein einzelnes kurzes Beispiel sein, das Buch wimmelt von solchen Ideen, eröffnet uns Varoufakis mal kurz auf fünf bis zehn Seiten eine neue Theorie vom Geld. Die natürlich nicht neu ist, die aber das Wissen und die Erfahrung der drei alter Egos, Techno-Varo, Lib-Varo und Roter Varo miteinander verbindet und dann sagt: Warum ändern wir das System nicht so, dass die Zentralbanken, so wie bisher, Geld erzeugen, dieses Geld jedoch digital ist, also ein bitcoin, klein geschrieben, und man dieses nicht über die Armanitragenden Mittelsmänner in ihren lächerlichen Porsches verteilen lässt, sondern direkt an die Bürger auszahlt. Diese erwerben damit Aktien und erhalten Dividenden. Dass in dem System eine Lücke ist, die da lautet "Und wer geht arbeiten?" löst er, in dem er mal soeben den Kapitalismus vom Kopf auf die Füße stellt: Jeder der arbeitet ist automatisch Aktionär und erhält damit Dividenden aus dem Gewinn des Unternehmens. Oder andersrum formuliert, was fast noch mehr Sinn schafft: Keiner der Aktien besitzt, darf untätig sein. Diese Theorie, die ziemlich eindeutig des Roten Varos Handschrift trägt, lässt erwartungsgemäß Lib-Varos' Kopf explodieren, aber im sich daraus entspinnenden Gespräch schafft es der Rote dem Libertären immer wieder klarzumachen, dass diese Form des Kapitalismus "Ein Werktätiger - Eine Aktie" die wahre Form sei. Alle Probleme, von Macht-, Geld- und Gier überhaupt ließen sich damit lösen, Monopole könnten nicht entstehen, Kapitalismus auf Kosten der Umwelt, gang und gäbe in unserem Jetzt, gehöre im "Other Now" der Vergangenheit an. Bis hinunter zum Mobbing würden alle Probleme gelöst durch einen basisdemokratischen Kapitalismus.Und wir sind erst im ersten Kapitel.Es schwirrt einem der Kopf, so dicht und grandios sind die Ideen, so detailliert ausgearbeitet die Umsetzung, so genau die Argumente für und wider - man kann das Buch eigentlich nur in Häppchen lesen. Aber da alles mit allem zusammenhängt, wird keine Atempause eingelegt und alternative Geschichte gemacht. Was alsbald nicht nur den Leser zu einer Frage führt: Ok, wir haben im Other Now die perfekte Utopie mit einer umweltgerechten Marktwirtschaft ohne Kapitalismus, ich will nicht spoilern, aber ja, auf diese uns phantasielose Zeitungsleser unreal erscheinende Idee läuft es hinaus. Die Welt ist in kleinen territorialen Einheiten selbstorganisiert, Geld- und Investmentspekulation sind abgeschafft, die Grenzen zwischen Staaten sind nicht nur mehr für Kapital durchlässig und die weltweite Migration von Menschen läuft in konfliktlosen Bahnen, wir arbeiten ohne das Gemeinwesen oder die Umwelt zu belasten basisdemokratisch organisiert oder auch gar nicht, weil Arbeit nicht alles ist und sein darf. Denn natürlich gibt es ein bedingungsloses Grundeinkommen, Künstler gehen ihrer Kunst nach, denn eine so hochtechnologische, harmonische Gesellschaft wirft das bisschen auch ab, dass es keiner wohltätigen Gönner oder künstlerischer Prostitution bedarf um einen wöchentlichen Literaturpodcast kompetent zu erschaffen. Ein Paradies. Die Frage also: wenn die da drüben das alles so haben, wie haben sie das geschafft in nur knapp 20 Jahren? (Das Buch spielt im Jahr 2025)Der Leser muss tapfer sein, denn jetzt bringt Real-Life Yanis Varoufakis, mit Hilfe technologischer Tricks seines alter Ego Techno-Varo, seine zwei anderen Alter Ego, Roter Varo und Lib-Varo, in Kontakt mit deren Alter Ego im Other Now. Da waren es schon sechs. Diese erklären ihren bedauernswerten Neandertalern in unserer bedauernswerten Welt, ob und wie sie das Utopia erschaffen konnten. Das zu erfahren würde ich der doch jetzt hoffentlich angefixten Leserin zur eigenständigen Übung anempfehlen - ohne groß zu spoilern.Denn natürlich gibt es einen Unterschied zwischen einem Plan und der Realität, zwischen Utopie und Wirklichkeit. Ein Unterschied namens "der hässliche Mensch". Da es diesen gibt, träumen wir alle Utopien und wenn diese von intelligenten Menschen auf elektronisches Papier gebracht wird, schwelgen wir in deren. Nicht nur weil das weniger anstrengend ist, als sich selbst welche aus zu denken. In unseren ultrarealistischen Zeiten, in denen nichts mehr zählt, wenn es nicht zählt, verändern sich auch die Ansprüche an unsere Träume. Sie müssen real sein und nur wenige zucken bei diesem Gedanken zusammen. So sind wir durch den Kapitalismus konditioniert und wo unseren Vorfahren noch ein Gemälde vom Schlaraffenland reichte, lassen wir einen Varoufakis nicht aus der Verantwortung, ohne das er uns genau erklärt, wie wir da hin kommen. Wo liegt das?Aber er sich selbst auch nicht. Und das ist der Pull des Buches, das Element, welches es einen nicht aus der Hand legen lässt. Es ist der permanente Dialog, im Buch wie im eigenen Kopf, das permanente "Aber...". Die Faszination ist nicht nur der Vergleich zwischen aktueller Realität und der gemalten Utopie, sondern auch, dass diese durch Varoufakis so plastisch dargestellt wird, dass man sich selbst hineinversetzen kann um zu fragen: "Und das funktioniert?! Nein, oder?!!". Und wenn die Fragen weniger werden und Varoufakis' alter Egos immer wieder eine Lösung finden, für dein eingeworfenes "Niemals! Das KANN SO nicht funktionieren" wird dir schon ein wenig Angst, dass Du, nachdem Du schon so manche Nacht als Varo-Fan-Boy, Whisky süffelnd, seine Interviews auf Youtube verschlungen hast, Du jetzt endgültig in einem Kult landest. Aber auch hier ist der Autor vor. Varoufakis ist Wissenschaftler, kein Priester, er ist erratischer Kommunist, kein Diktator. Er gibt Dir die Grundlagen, die Realität zu verstehen und ihn in seine Utopie zu begleiten. Das macht sie verständlich und Dich weniger ängstlich, wenn Du dazu neigst und weniger enthusiastisch, wenn das dein Laster ist. Du kannst Yanis Varoufakis in "eine andere Welt" folgen und gebannt deren Nachrichten verschlingen oder jederzeit umdrehen und selbstbewusst sagen "Alles Quatsch." und das auch begründen und mindestens einer seiner Alter Egos wird Dir zustimmen.Allerdings wirst Du dann aufwachen, in unserer wirklichen Wirklichkeit und Twitter aufmachen, oder CNN an, oder was immer dein täglich Gift ist, und musst dann mit genau den Sachen leben, die du dort siehst.In der nächsten Woche bespricht Anne Findeisen den wiederentdeckten und kürzlich auf deutsch veröffentlichten Roman der Dänin Tove Ditlevsen mit dem Titel „Gesichter“, in dem sie einmal mehr in Abgründe blickt.

Nahrung ist heute kein Grundrecht mehr, sondern ein Riesengeschäft. Multinationale Konzerne wie Bayer-Monsanto kontrollieren den globalen Saatgut-Markt inklusive Insektenvernichtungsmittel und Dünger. Unternehmen wie Danone, Coca-Cola oder Nestlé nehmen Billig-Nutzpflanzen wie Raps, Soja, Mais und Zuckerrüben ab, um daraus hochverarbeitete, ungesunde Nahrungsmittel zu produzieren. Außerdem haben immer mehr Vermögensverwalter wie BlackRock Anteile an eben diesen Firmen und dementsprechend viel Macht. Wer leidet sind die Bäuerinnen und Bauern im Globalen Süden, die teilweise enteignet werden und immer noch Hunger leiden.

Why is Bayer/Monsanto full of WW2 Nazi Scientists- the truth of this organization!
A 2015 report from the the International Agency for Research on Cancer provoked several lawsuits against Monsanto (now Bayer) after the agency found a link between the active ingredient in Roundup, glyphosate. A U.S. court is currently examining whether or not glyphosate cause non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and if Bayer-Monsanto knew of and tried to bury evidence of its carcinogenic product. Link mentioned: Of Mice, Monsanto and a Mysterious TumorResources: EPA Glyphosate StudyMonsanto and EPA work together to slow glyphosate study
Big news in the "health" industry as a landmark case against Bayer/Monsanto sets a new precedent (hopefully). Also, it's episode 900! Glorious rage and fire content coming your way!
