Glyphosate and Aluminium – a synergistic toxicity.
Glyphosate and Aluminium are both toxic and neurotoxic in their own right, but together they have a far greater impact on the body.
Glyphosate is the main ingredient in Roundup, a widely used herbicide and insecticide.
Drs Seneff and Exley have done extensive research on Aluminium, and now the exponential effect of Glyphosate on aluminium toxicity.
Key points:
- Glyphosate exposure greatly increases aluminium absorption from the gut, bypassing the normal protective mechanisms.
- Glyphosate usage has increased year on year, and the increase in rates of autism, anxiety, schizophrenia, coeliac disease, sleep issues, ADHD and Alzheimer’s disease has tracked that increase.
- Glyphosate affects the Shikimate pathway, not found in humans, but present in normal gut flora. Glyphosate exposure disproportionally affects beneficial gut flora, so causes a shift to increased numbers of Clostridium species, which release toxins known to induce autistic behaviour in mice.
- Tryptophan is normally produced by normal gut flora, but this is reduced by glyphosate exposure. Tryptophan is a precursor to serotonin, and serotonin is a precursor to melatonin. Glyphosate exposure is linked to low melatonin and serotonin levels. Aluminium also lowers serotonin levels by a different mechanism in the pineal gland.
- Both glyphosate and aluminium reduce CYP enzyme levels
- Glyphosate and aluminium both hamper gut repair and increase gut inflammation and leakiness via different mechanisms.
- Glyphosate and aluminium both contribute to poor pineal function, altered melatonin metabolism and poor or disturbed sleep.
