Glyphosates Can Prevent Healing After Injury

Did you know that glyphosates are a common toxin found in our household water? It’s used in pesticides across our country, being sprayed on non-organic grains and beans before harvesting.

Initially, this chemical was patented as a boiler cleaner. The second patent is for a weed killer, and now it is used as a drying agent, being sprayed directly on crops before harvesting.

Case Study for a Knee and Foot Injury

I had an accident in January where I injured my foot and knee. At first, I went to a chiropractor, and that provided temporary relief, but my injury would get symptomatic again if I stopped the chiropractic treatments.

I then found a massage therapist who helped reduce the pain a little. In May, after several months of not treating the injury, I asked a colleague to test the household water I was showering in, as well as the distilled water I was drinking. Turns out the distilled water I was drinking was full of glyphosates, and I had no idea.

My shower water was also very high in glyphosates. So to remedy the situation, I bought a very good kitchen filter with candles (filters) that remove the glyphosates. Next, I put a filter on my shower.

The Surprise Outcome

While I began detoxing from all the glyphosates, I also started taking high doses of a whole food supplement for ligaments that contained manganese. To my surprise, my knee and foot problem went away quickly and has not returned.

Glyphosates bind very strongly with manganese in the body. Manganese supports the strength of muscles and ligaments. Once I installed filters for drinking water and the shower, and took a whole food ligament supplement, my injury resolved.

Now, this may not help everyone, but low manganese can affect the strength of muscles and ligaments and may affect the healing process for injuries.

Because we live in a county with lots of agriculture, using a filter that detoxes out glyphosates is very important. We do have the kitchen and shower filter that effectively filters out glyphosates on our resource page.
