Time to make Joel Salatin and people like you the head of farming. We need re-education (the good kind) and financial help to get back to the original ways of regenerative ag.
I don't know how anyone gets through life, living under constant attack through every possible means, without a strong foundation in faith. It has become, literally, the only way to survive.
Luckily, I have my organic milk delivered and it’s the closest to can get to raw here in the almost communist state of NJ because of course raw milk is banned. I could get it in PA. but that requires a couple hours drive and let’s face it that’s not gonna happen. The issue that is scaring me here is this stuff winds up in the water and even a grass fed organic farm could in theory use public water sources that might be poisoned with this stuff. It might not be highly likely but anything is possible. The U.S. needs to ban it outright. Europe does a much better job than the U.S. keeping stuff that is poison out of their food supply. Many U.S. companies have different ingredients for food that gets shipped to Europe because it banned there. It’s crazy to even think about it. What it all comes down to though is money. Lobbyists pour money into super PACs that fund our Congress people and they pay off those who keep it legal. We al know about the round robin from govt employee to company after you were in govt. This needs to get banned.
Just a thought. If europe can ban these chemicals and still feed themselves why can't we....or is europe depending on our larger production to make up the,difference and thus,still poisoning themselves with our produce?
Theodore Roosevelt famously and repeatedly emphasized that a corporation's behavior was the only metric that mattered. He stated: "Our objection to any given corporation must be, not that it is big, but that it behaves badly." When a corporation behaves badly and contrary to the public interest we have only two choices - punish the shareholders, who likely knew little or nothing about the malfeasance or punish the corporate officers who profited lavishly from it. I favor the latter. We really need to tighten up our laws on such abhorrent behavior.
FDA decides on a one on one basis that chemicals approved for consumption are safe if consumption is below a given micro level. They ignore the fact that when the average person consumes multiple chemicals in trace amounts from food and water sources that it can be a source of sexual dysfunction, disease states including cancer. It is compounded by having prescription drugs that negatively impact liver function and more. The Cumulative effect has devasting health consequences including death.
The mechanism for sexual dysfunction isn't just one chemical — it's the cocktail effect:
Atrazine ramps up aromatase → converts testosterone to estrogen → feminizing effects in males, hormonal disruption in females
BPA and analogs activate estrogen receptors through multiple pathways → further estrogenic signaling overload
Phthalates (also in plastics) suppress testosterone synthesis
PFAS disrupt thyroid function and steroidogenesis
Microplastics themselves act as vectors, carrying these chemicals into tissues
The endocrine system doesn't distinguish between "weak" and "strong" when you're getting hit from ten different directions simultaneously. Aromatase induction from atrazine + estrogen receptor activation from BPA + androgen receptor antagonism from phthalates = a triple whammy on the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis.
Rising rates of low testosterone, declining sperm counts (the infamous ~50% drop over the past 40 years), increasing erectile dysfunction in young men, and the explosion of gender dysphoria — these aren't separate phenomena. They're all downstream of an endocrine system under chemical siege.
The 60 million plastic water bottles used daily in the USA isn't just a waste problem, but is delivering a trace amount of Bis Phenol A which is a chemical residue in the wall of the plastic. . They're a delivery mechanism for endocrine-disrupting compounds directly into the population's hormonal machinery. And the regulatory apparatus that's supposed to protect us has spent decades arguing about whether each individual chemical, in isolation, at a specific dose, causes a specific effect — while ignoring the obvious reality that we're all living in a soup of these things.
If I was a victim of sexual dysfunction, I would be madder than hell and would rallying against the chemical industry and all their allies that have screwed up my life.
NIH wake up! FDA wake up! Physicians of America wake up! Washington politicians wake up you have been asleep to long!
My neighbor farmer grew corn on my 10 acres while I was working out of the state. Fantastic corn at first. He used atrazine. I don't know how often, because he grew peas and vetch after which he took off as silage. It has been 26 years since I came back. The last year he grew corn was a very bad crop. I stopped his using that field in 2000. His brother died of cancer. He (actually a wonderful person) has dementia. I don't drink the well water. I am working on rebuilding the soil. If I buy any whipping cream, I buy organic A2. I think it goes past
regular organic. I am saddened by the MAHA position on both glyphosate and atrazine. Good luck to All.
The not so funny thing is, I'll bet most folks haven't heard the word Atrazine or know how it is used or what the risk is. Farmers, yes; regular folk, no. A counter top reverse osmosis isn't so expensive compared to paying for drugs to combat the effects of the multiple poisons in the water. I won't drink water in restaurants and ice is just as bad. That goes for airplanes too. Europe has its problems, but for whatever reason it is light years ahead of the U.S. in environmental regulation.
When we moved to the country in 1975 (purchased Dec. 1974) a neighbor who had rented fields from the previous owner ask to rent ours for that season. He brought a tank of pre-mixed atrazine and parked it in front of a long strip field to apply the next day or two. It was leaking. There developed a trail going from the driveway to where he parked it then then there developed a bare circle of earth about ten feet in diameter that did not fill in completely for 10 years. Our property was up hill from our well and bordered on the West Fork of the Kickapoo River, the second best trout stream in Wisconsin. Needless to say I did not rent to him again, and he was really pissed at me. Years later he became an environmentalist, himself. Maybe the pictures of the bare patch I kept sending him helped. At the time amongst the "back to the land" people, they were saying that atrazine was basically Agent Orange in more dilute form.
It is so frustrating! We need clean air this getting rid of the bio engineering we see spraying fake clouds in the sky, we need clean water by getting rid of Atrazine , we need clean food by getting rid of glyphosate. What can Kennedy do to make our air, water and food safe?
Are there no other viable options in the world today than glyphosate and atrazine? If not can something else not be created that is safer? What does Europe currently use?
A draft version - not ready for prime time was accidentally emailed out.
Embarrassment! I apologize!
The version on the website has been corrected, but I can't undo what was sent out. Bleh.
Read pretty well to me!
what was/were the errors that slipped thru?

Well said, Karen.
I find that faith and truth are closely related. But I lean towards truth, when it is possible to discover it.

Such troublesome questions.......

My favorite Teddy R quote is: “When they call the roll in the Senate senators don’t know weather to answer present or not guilty.”
😄 Ha! That's a great one.
Cumulative Effect.

Something I have mentioned before...there is no testing I know of for additive/synergistic action between these various contaminants.
Don't leave the arch demon seed, Anthony Fauci off your list.
Thank you! This helps so much to understanding the scientific effects on humans too!

The reason is simple - money!

Another honest and balanced piece by Dr. Malone. And only 29 referenced studies :)
Kudos.
If an Earth reptile creator would have wanted us to have omisexed 3 legged frogs in the world....
It would have done just that!
It's not nice to fool Mother Nature!
Man is the most invasive non-native creature on this planet.
It is so frustrating! We need clean air this getting rid of the bio engineering we see spraying fake clouds in the sky, we need clean water by getting rid of Atrazine , we need clean food by getting rid of glyphosate. What can Kennedy do to make our air, water and food safe?
He's doing it. But it takes a minute.
Good Morning Dr. Malone
Hope you are feeling better and life returns to somewhat normal. ^..^
Are there no other viable options in the world today than glyphosate and atrazine? If not can something else not be created that is safer? What does Europe currently use?
Regenerative farming is the brightest answer.
"Filter your water." Any suggestions for a simple setup" ?
Berky water filter.
Reverse osmosis counter or under sink.
This is my question, too; and not just for this one contaminant.
Reverse osmosis counter or under sink.
