“Glyphosate acts as a gateway chemical to all the rest.” – Zach Bush MD

This is an extract from my conversation with globally renowned physician, Zach Bush MD, on the notorious and ubiquitous chemical, glyphosate (found in the common herbicide RoundUp).

When I first heard Dr Zach Bush talk about the extent of the damage that the chemical glyphosate is doing to the biological underpinnings of life on Earth, it sank in me like a stone. Zach charts a bit of the chemical’s history here, we share a very personal conversation on its neurological impacts, and examine the patterns those impacts share with other chronic diseases. Then, of course, we explore the way out of this catastrophe – nature’s invitation to co-create the return of human and planetary health.

More on this topic, from the show notes of the main episode 62: Dr Zach Bush’s work charts the intimate, absolute connection between humans and humous – the earth and its soil. The soil and our gut are sisters, you could say, and carbon is our best mate. And while we flirt with superbugs and the ‘end of antibiotics’, we are courting what may even be greater disaster with the chemical glyphosate. Glyphosate’s touted strength of being water soluble appears to be proving the undoing of no less than the integrity of our physiological being – implicated in our epidemics of cancer, auto-immune issues and neurological conditions.
