Rather than put money into labeling the source of this new "allergy" needs to be investigated. For example look into how glyphosate, which is in everything, affects the intestines.

Nancy Parsons's avatar

I vote for both improved labeling and lots more investigation into causes. Glyphosate is at the top of my personal list of suspects.

Glyphosate appears to have another significant but much less discussed mode of impact. It seems that it can easily replace the amino acid glycine in the body. The brilliant researcher Stephanie Senneff explores the consequences in this article titled Glyphosate in Collagen at: https://www.greenpasture.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/203.pdf. This article is 10 years old, but I would still agree with Senneff's characterization of these findings as a "game changer." I would call this article a "Must Read."

Glyphosate can replace glycine in the relatively loosely regulated production of proteins, here in collagen formation. Collagen is a key molecule in the body, the single most prevalent protein, and it plays a key structural function in bones, joints and skin. Note Senneff found a highly significant correlation of health issues with the % content of collagen, including its use in vaccines (and especially the troublesome MMR), gelatin-based desserts, and supplements made using gelatin capsules (as opposed to vegetable capsules).

I put this together with something I learned about in advanced study of acupuncture. Energetic communication in the body takes advantage of those collagen-based structural networks. I came to understand that the modus operandi of acupuncture and many other modalities that utilize energetic meridians works with the pathways of collagen in the body. I can't say that this is widely accepted, but it provides a deeper understanding of how these forms of treatment work.

Our bodies rely on all kinds of communication, via hormones, nerves, etc. but it appears that collagen also plays a key role, one that glyphosate may compromise. This may be an important part of the impact of glyphostate on healthy function. If anyone can flesh this out, please do.

Yes we are being poisoned!! And i heard its water soluable and goes into the water cycle so eating Organics ( stupid term they invented for non poisonous farming ) you still get it as it rains down!!

truth seeker's avatar

Not quite. It can be in water from runoff. Eating organic is 1000x better as any exposure is indirect. You are suggesting it does not matter, it does.

It is not raining down on anyone excepting spray drift brought to earth by rain.

I was just coming into the comments to mention glyphosate. I happily consume all of the gluten I wanted as a child with no issue until around the time glyphosate was added to everything.

Nancy Parsons's avatar

Thank you for such an interesting post. It makes perfect sense that of collagen is disrupted or contaminated, many bodily systems would suffer.

Fred Kittelmann's avatar

If that mechanism is true, the problem is way bigger than just collagen.

Nancy Parsons's avatar

I couldn't agree more! Way, way bigger.

truth seeker's avatar

Allow me to summarize. Roundup is toxic. Buying non organic grains ensures consistent exposure as it bio-accumulates. Publishing Non Sense about gluten is serious journalistic incompetence.

MAHA consistently attempt to slow walk the gluten hype with clueless

dieticians who most definitely are not the place to look for health advice.

CherylBray's avatar

Most agree that glyphosate (and other toxicants on our foods) is likely a major contributor to gluten intolerance. OR possibly THE major contributor.

But because there is a lack of science in this area, no one can definitively state this as fact.

truth seeker's avatar

Not quite. Glyphosate toxicity is well known for anyone who has been paying attention. That has been true for over 10 years.

Putting the wrap on gluten is simply slight of hand for the clueless.

Can most definitely state that as fact. I am highly credentialed and know the details having tested 100's of people.

CherylBray's avatar

I too, think the primary issue is glyphosate.

But corporations, w/much government help of course, have successfully controlled much of the science for decades. For that reason, there is a very narrow political path forward for HHS.

I understand all the frustration and anger with half measures such as food labeling. But I'm a political pragmatist.

The obstacles to change are ridiculous. Beyond comprehension. We possibly live in the most corrupt country in the world.

The new RICO lawsuit against vaccines; Kennedy; mass medical murder; fake MAHA; bully pulpit—how they all intersect in America

==============================================================================================================================

Jon Rappoport

Jan 28

Before diving into today’s piece, I have to make a correction. I was wrong; this RICO lawsuit¹ is all Rick Jaffe, it wasn’t Kennedy’s plan.

I came out in yesterday’s article and said I thought this RICO lawsuit against childhood vaccines was Kennedy’s strategy. I’ve since found out that wasn’t true.

Actually, the truth is better than that. This suit is lawyer Rick Jaffe’s solo work.

He came up with whole idea, he wrote the court filing, and he’s the one who made it into reality.

There are still individuals in America who are willing to take on the biggest forces and go all the way, regardless of the odds. And in this situation, Rick has already moved the dial from START along a very large distance.

From my first article about the lawsuit, I told you Rick was dong a brilliant job. Finding out this was his idea and plan and execution and effort should only increase respect for him and his work, which has spanned four decades.

OK, here we go today. I’m still discussing the RICO lawsuit—and much more. Buckle up.

With this hot and explosive new RICO LAWSUIT against childhood vaccines on the scene, so many issues and crimes I’ve been writing about are coming together.

And the first one is THE JUDGE.

Who is going to be the judge who receives the RICO lawsuit on his desk? He will be King for Day. He’ll decide whether the suit moves forward or is thrown out.

And that brings up the burning flaming question: do we have a leader with a MAJOR bully pulpit who can force this lawsuit into a national story that crashes the news cycle and gets a dramatic response from the American People…so that the judge FEELS IT? So the judge KNOWS the country is watching? So the judge knows he can’t just push the suit into the garbage can?

This issue is as real as real can get. It isn’t science. It isn’t evidence. It isn’t data. It’s TRUTH and how the American people can be made to see it. Or not.

If not, the judge gets a holiday and can yawn and rule any way he wants to, in accordance with the law or not.

He can let medical killers go free or he can hold their feet to the flames.

Then there is the question of whether the medical cartel is steady and calm and on their game as they try to defeat the lawsuit…or are they rattled and nervous and scared and back on their heels and reeling…because they’ve ALREADY been assaulted with the truth about their OTHER high crimes.

The high crimes I’ve been documenting for 35 years.

This is where Kennedy and MAHA come in. I and others have handed them the biggest weapons they could hope for against the medical cartel. And so far, they’ve refused to use them. For instance the Starfield Report which revealed that every year in the US, the medical system kills a minimum of 225,000 people. That’s 2.25 MILLION KILLED AMERICANS PER DECADE.

Using a weapon like THAT would have put the cartel back on their heels and in a panic by now, and made them much less able to try to defeat this new vaccine lawsuit. But no. MAHA hasn’t used the big weapons. They’ve refused.

We need a populist revolution that forces Americans to realize WHAT THE HELL HAS ACTUALLY BEEN GOING ON—MASS MEDICAL MURDER.

We need a populist revolution with a leader who has an unstoppable bully pulpit, who talks to all of America every day, relentlessly, in a way that sets people on fire.

So far, Kennedy has no clue about that. He’s not that man with that pulpit. We see no sign he’s found that man to tell the real story of mass medical murder. We’ve seen no sign he wants to empower such a person.

I kept telling Kennedy and those close to him, time and time again, in article after article, that THIS is what we have to have—and none of those people have shown interest.

Maybe they think I’m a “disruptive force”. If so, they’re right. But I’m disrupting a failing strategy. There are lots of people who believe enacting a plan across calm water is the way to go. They’re dreaming. And their dream isn’t going to come true. The wish for a calm victory gets you the booby prize. I’m supposed to support Kennedy and MAHA leaders all the way in everything they do and don’t do? That’s for PR people. That’s what they do. They’ll try to turn shit into gold if they have to.

Right now, I’m covering this new red hot RICO lawsuit against childhood vaccines like no other reporter in the world:...

Nancy Parsons's avatar

This is a terrific article, and from a perspective I seldom encounter. Thank you for posting it!

American Citizen's avatar

Correct…in Europe glyphosate is not used and many gluten free USA visitors can consume gluten in Europe…upon returning to USA…the gluten sensitivities reappear…the issue is not only gluten…it is when gluten is poisoned with chemicals like glyphosate. There is a difference that most scientists purposely ignore.

Prometheus Sputnik's avatar

They sure do !! https://www.linds.dk/ukrudtsmiddel-gallup-premium-360-20-liter/

Here is a link to a Danish company that can sell it to you if you have a certificate for using it.. which most farmers who are conventional have.

TeeJae's avatar

Great minds! I just posted a similar comment, highlighting the use of herbicide as a desiccant for harvesting grain crops.

truth seeker's avatar

That is an important contribution as dessicant contamination is far worse exposure than herbicide use.

Your child probably doesn’t have asthma, she has silent reflux, which causes asthma like attacks when the stomach contacts reflux into the back of the throat. Typically there is a tremendous amount of mucus produced in the lungs, and this looks a lot like an asthma attack. I would be skeptical of the usual approach to do that which would be a proton pump inhibitor rather than attention to a diet and possibly the use of famotidine temporarily just at night. The problem is not excess acid in the stomach. The problem is a neuromuscular dyssynergia involving the lower esophageal sphincter caused in this case by gluten.

I am sorry doctors treated you the way they did. I practiced Neurology for 30 years and was the 1978 University of Virginia Jefferson fellow in medicine.

truth seeker's avatar

Asthma is mutifactoral. Any obstruction of the airway typically has mucus production.

Call it what you like. It is not just the sphincter, its obstruction of the alveoli when O2 exchanges. Naming it is academic.

Of patients I have seen over decades likely only 5 % of gluten issues are in celiac patients with the positive genes and 95 % are gluten sensitive by symptoms and IgG wheat and gluten positive. 95% of everyone I have tested is allergic to bananas and 100 % to black pepper. If you keep eating one allergic food your gut will never heal. It affects skin joints gut brain lungs and often thyroid and other organs. Must avoid wheat unless verified gluten free or processed with wheat. Must also be organic oats or is sprayed with round up which is also sprayed on all wheat before harvesting. 95% of autoimmune conditions related to IgG food allergies and improve when those are removed. www.abc-wellness.com. drculik@gmail.com.

Off gluten and dairy about 20 years myself.

truth seeker's avatar

Dairy is for baby cows, did you know know this?

truth seeker's avatar

the totally fraudulent "gene" story raising it ugly head

You sure its not a gluten "virus" MD's love "virus"

Howz about learning something about health and teaching clueless people??

An allergy cannot be removed, what are you saying? Your statement about oats is literally incomprehensible. ORGANIC the way forward.

The banana fabrication is a total lie, so is the blk pepper. I live next to a banana grower, sometime eat 8 a day. They are a nearly perfect food.

TeeJae's avatar

I hope one of the questions the RFI asks is, "Was the grain organically grown and harvested (i.e. free of pesticide and herbicide application)? In the U.S. especially, grains are sprayed with herbicide as a desiccant to speed up drying for quicker harvesting. Compare our agricultural practices with those of Europe, where they don't use these chemicals on their grain crops, and their rates of "gluten"-related illnesses are significantly lower, if any. This has led many in the health/wellness space to conclude that the culprit isn't gluten, it's the chemicals sprayed on the crops. Food for thought (pun intended).

American Citizen's avatar

Correct..man made forever chemicals that we ingest…remove or minimize from your diet and everything improves…generally.

truth seeker's avatar

Avoidance strategies do improve outcomes, but the gold is in replacement.

There are a thousand details.

truth seeker's avatar

The fact that one might ask is troubling. That implies that RFK is not a person to look to for health advice. The Gubmint can assist with avoidance strategies and curtailing toxins.

That is it. Registered Dieticians are about the worst place to find useful information.

Learning about Health is easy, finding the right source requires some diligence.

When the student is ready the teacher appears.

Fred Kittelmann's avatar

I wonder if the body might learn that gluten comes with a price, that of glyphosate. Then react to just the gluten, even from an organic source. You know, like how Pavlov's dogs react to a bell.

truth seeker's avatar

you do not wonder, you know and share your wisdom

Glyphosate is toxic. Causes malignancy and renders soil microbially dead.

The short story.

Patti F's avatar

The FDA link is long and technical and it's not abundantly clear where to submit the information. This will dramatically reduce the number of people who submit comments. Personally, it doesn't pertain to me (we don't have anyone in our family with gluten issues) but a lot of people will just turn away rather than trying to figure out how to submit a claim.

truth seeker's avatar

The FDA is an useless ABC agency. Eating for health the way forward then and now.

Martha Kreamer's avatar

Before my sensitivities to wheat and dairy protein were identified [ALCAT blood test] I had severe IBS symptoms with almost everything I ate, including egg whites, onion, chicken . After my gut healed, I can eat anything as long as I dont eat wheat or dairy. But I CAN eat bread In EUROPE!!! It was wonderful. Please, MAHA, dont let the president force our GMO wheat on Europe!!!!

truth seeker's avatar

Have performed hundreds of said tests. The question always remains whether you are reacting to said foods or the toxins in them. The best labs hate it when asked.

Betty Claybrook's avatar

I remember when gluten intolerance wasn't an issue. What has changed that gluten is such a problem for so many. Maybe some of the other comments below are correct. It is the glyphosate!!

ARTuition's avatar

Great article and the next discussion would be why is our wheat and grains so much more harmful than in Europe? I have heard over and over that people with celiac here are able to eat gluten there. I’m hoping that this is another one of the investigations going on with good healthy solutions. I’m celiac and taking my son to the allergist this week for chronic sinus issues, digestive, and headaches. I hope that our food gets healthy quickly in America for the sake of so many.

Donna's avatar

I wish they would do this for soy.

TeeJae's avatar

And corn. Anything sprayed with herbicides and pesticides. Europeans don't have these health issues. Their agricultural practices are very different from ours. This has led to the conclusion that the culprit is the chemicals, not the foods themselves.

Catherine Ebeling's avatar

I am so very allergic to corn and any corn products in the US. I get pretty sick. But I can go to Southern Baja and eat corn tortillas and corn chips with no reaction. It's amazing. I believe Mx also use heritage corn which helps allergies as well.

Holistic Health Doc's avatar

Mexico doesn't use roundup,glyphosate, although the US was pressuring them to buy GMO corn. Eat organic corn.

truth seeker's avatar

That is telling, Roundup?? Heritage corn? Do you mean open pollinated non hybridized??

truth seeker's avatar

Europeans have mental health issues and are in an economic death spiral.

They also have physical impairments.

Viv_Ralls's avatar

This writer is spot on the list of symptoms. Outwardly, hives for me. No gluten, hives resolve. Eat gluten, hives appear.

Catherine Ebeling's avatar

Same. I actually got the extremely itchy, burning, blistering rash called dermatitis herpetiformis from eating wheat. Funny that doesnt happen in most other countries...

truth seeker's avatar

Herpetiformis, sounds scary Make the right choice and learn causation.

Haley Kraft's avatar

Gluten is not the only substance that needs to be clearly identified. Enriched flour, rice, and now corn are creating severe health issues with SYNTHETIC vitamins being forced into our food supply by the federal government. Those with the MTHFR gene variant (almost half the population) cannot process the synthetic folic acid. This is a serious issue for so many. Another critical issue is for those with the Alpha-Gal allergy to mammalian protein. There is so much hidden in our food which needs to be clearly and specifically identified.

truth seeker's avatar

Nonsense, although it is true that wheat has been hybridized to increase gluten because of its weight, the idea of gluten intolerance is mostly fabrication.

THE ISSUE IS GLYPHOSATE // ROUNDUP CONTAMINATION.

One does not have a gluten "journey" one has a Roundup Realization.

Gluten blatherfest obfuscates the real issue. Stop misinforming!!

Holistic Health Doc's avatar

Not nonsense. Some people have genetic intolerance to gluten, but are not celiac. Those that are gluten sensitive may have gluten antibodies initiated by glyphosate effects on gut immune system or other toxins. Some have soy and grain allergies due to cross reactivity to other grains and soy. Once the immune system reacts, it usually does not reverse, but can improve. Glyphosate is a huge factor but not the full picture. People should be tested for glyphosate levels and go organic, as well as gluten free. Organic gluten can also cause intestinal inflammation, too.

Truth Seeker's avatar

That is what you suppose. What exact testing are you advocating?

Is it quantitative? Glyphosate destroys gut microflora among other nefarious

activities including malignancy.

The admonition of eating organic is as true now as it was 40 years ago for the exact same reasons. Gut function is relatively easy to restore. The behavior that created the problem not so much.

Holistic Health Doc's avatar

It's not just 'supposing'. There are tests for grain and soy antibodies (see Cyrex tests). If someone has gliadin antibodies and has other preexisting conditions, it's not so easy to reverse. Not everyone is the same. In modern society there are genetics, microbiome, leaky gut, other toxins, histamine intolerance, autoimmune and preexisting conditions that may weaken the gut immune system. I'm glad you don't have to deal with gluten intolerance, but many others don't have a simple fix by just detoxifying from glyphosate. Much more on this, but you get the big picture. Do your own research. Gaslighting someone who may have gluten intolerance, who is eating organic, no glyphosate, doesn't help find the root cause.

--"Gluten is only partially digested by intestinal enzymes and can generate peptides that can alter intestinal permeability, facilitating bacterial translocation, thus affecting the immune system. Few studies addressed the role of diet with gluten in the development of intestinal inflammation" quote from a pub med journal.

Truth Seeker's avatar

I have far more knowledge and experience than thou.

As empirical evidence dictates, there was not "gluten intolerance"

until fairly recently. Glyphosate and gut dysbiosis is hardly "new"

It does give people like yourself some rabbit holes to explore.

Take a look into the mirror and see the fool. Studies most definitely are

NOT the way forward. Neither is Pub Med. Pay to play has always been the study game plan.

Knowledge and Philosophy for the win. Antibody testing is a dog chasing its tail.

It's not the gluten it's the commerciallly overprocessed flour that everything is made with. Please Please Please look into freshly milled flour! Commercial flour is stripped of it's nutrition. Flour that is freshly milled retains all the nutrients & vitamins our bodies need. It is well tolerated by so many people that have a problem with "gluten". Look up a lady named Sue Becker - watch the first 5 minutes of an interview with her called "What if Gluten isn't the enemy" and learn the truth about what has been done to the flour we eat in this country. It will change your life forever & you will be so thankful! And Please - if anyone knows how to get this information to RFK Jr - Please Please tell him!

Great article! Thanks for pointing out that gluten affects mood….

After seeing a homeopath I resolved my own problem. Gluten sensitivity. Nobody wants to be severely depressed and suicidal after eating gluten! I kicked it to the curb. Still have some depression but it’s tolerable. Good luck MAHA!!
