"Glyphosate is a chelating agent. When you have glyphosate in the food, it binds all the trace minerals. They're no longer available for absorption. It depletes us of trace minerals. However, there's one exception, and that's aluminum. It works like a shuttling agent for aluminum. It binds aluminum, takes it across the gut wall into the tissues, and distributes it widely."

"Though your beginning was small, yet your latter end would increase abundantly."

"For who has despised the day of small things…?"

"We have systematically depleted our natural resources, like fossil fuel and water, and polluted them further through the use of glyphosate and other pesticides. Worldwide, farmers use over 3 million tons of pesticides annually. Our dependence on these chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides are causing a public health crisis with little accountability on the part of manufacturers."

"Today, we are facing both a food crisis and a public health crisis. They are inextricably linked, as we now know. Affordability of fresh, nutrient-rich foods is a serious challenge that many people face, while the long-term effects of glyphosate and other pesticides on the human immune, reproductive, and nervous systems are just beginning to be discovered. Over 1,600 chemicals are currently being used in pesticides in the U.S — the overwhelming majority of which have not been tested for long-term effects on humans."

“We bent nature to serve our needs. We achieved the economies of large-scale, specialized production as we applied the principles, strategies, and technologies of industrialization to farming.”

"Glyphosate is a chelating agent. When you have glyphosate in the food, it binds all the trace minerals. They're no longer available for absorption. It depletes us of trace minerals. However, there's one exception and that's aluminum. It works like a shuttle agent for aluminum. It binds aluminum, takes it across the gut wall into the tissues, and distributes it widely."

“Contrary to the current widely-held misconception that glyphosate is relatively harmless to humans, the available evidence shows that glyphosate may rather be the most important factor in the development of multiple chronic diseases and conditions that have become prevalent in Westernized societies...Glyphosate also depletes the body of the enzymes it needs to detoxify other harmful poisons, including other pesticide formulas and heavy metals. So not only does glyphosate destroy the body’s ability to protect itself against disease by depleting nutrient reserves and blocking nutrient absorption, but it also tells the body to essentially stand down in terms of guarding itself against a toxic invasion.”

"The soil that a plant is grown in has an immense effect on what that plant contains in it. A healthy high functioning soil will produce crops that are flavorful, aromatic, nutritious, and should desiccate, not rot. As Crops are currently distinguished by type, but not by quality."

"How the devil can all these diseases, already catastrophic enough, blackmail cereal crops in such a fantastic, ceaseless way? What sort of curse has been placed on these fields? Is there no way out of this infernal spiral?"

"What we observe is not nature itself, but nature exposed to our method of questioning."

Speaking about the overuse of chemical fertilizers over 40 years ago, "I think that it is not merely a question of healing the animal or man stricken by disease, it is necessary to heal the soil so as not to have to heal the animal or man."

"…we should abandon all our preconceptions, most of which are afterward found to be found to be absolutely groundless and contrary to facts. The final appeal must be made to the plant itself and no evidence should be accepted unless it bears the plant’s own signature."

The director of the Laboratory of Biocybernetics and Agrophysics in Leningrad when asked if he had discovered anything ‘new’ said, "Nothing of the sort! That plants are able to perceive the surrounding world is a truth as old as the world itself. Without perception, adaptation does not and cannot exist. If plants had no sense organs and didn’t have a means of transmitting and processing information with their own language and memory, they would inevitably perish."

"No method of insect control will ever work as long as poisoned crops outgas ethanol and ammonia in small parts per million. Those two powerful fermentation chemicals are the mark of a dying, decaying plant and serve as attractants to all plant-eating insects."

“Someday we shall look back on this dark era of agriculture and shake our heads. How could we have ever believed that it was a good idea to grow our food with poisons?”
