Today's guest is a force. This is a powerful mom on a mission. Zen Honeycutt is the founder and executive director of Moms Across America. She took her frustration and the inadequate answers she was getting about her own son's health and turned that into a grassroots movement. Today, we tackle glyphosate, we tackle informed consent, and we just in Welcome to the show, Zen Honeycutt. Hello, everyone, and welcome again to another edition of the Meehan Mission podcast. And today we are joined by Zen Honeycutt. And Zen, you are a warrior. I have followed you for a long time, and many of you may have heard of Moms Across America. Well, this is the founder of Moms Across America. So, Zen, let's start there. What inspired you you and led you to create moms across America?
SPEAKER_01:Well, like millions of moms across the country and parents who were dealing with their children's health issues, I got inspired because I love my kids and I want them to be healthy and happy. And when I found out about GMOs, genetically modified organisms in the food supply, I connected them not just with my children's health issues, you know, their allergies, autism symptoms, autoimmune issues, asthma, all of that, but also with the fact that the rats that ate the GMOs in a study by Arpide Pustai in Europe showed that it was either the third or fourth generation of rats were completely sterile. They were no longer viable. And this is when the mother ate them. And when they were exposed to these GMOs and glyphosate in the food supply, that's what happens. And so I realized that if I want my children to be able to have children, because my father, he resisted Roundup, but his generation, it was introduced in his generation. and then mine and then my kids. And now, so their children, my grandchildren may not be able to conceive. If we don't stop this exposure to GMOs and glyphosate. And when I learned that, I thought, my goodness, you know, the most profound love I think that there is, is to have one's own child or to be, you know, to parent. And so I want them to be able to do that. And I realized that it wouldn't be enough, however, for my family just to eat organic and avoid GMOs and glyphosate and toxic chemicals. My son's future spouses are out there somewhere. So this is a community issue, not just a my family issue. So I then branched out into asking how could I raise awareness with as many people as possible in the shortest amount of time? Because my children's spouses are, I don't know where they are, right? But they're in the community. So I thought of joining into 4th of July parades because in one parade, you can reach thousands locally. And if we all do it across the country in the same day, we can reach millions nationally in a single day. And we're doing it in a family friendly, fun, affordable, accessible way. It costs from nothing to, you know, maybe 15,$30 to join into a 4th of July parade, which I'm about to sign up for today. And in my local parade and you join, you can join in. And at the time in 2013, we joined in with banners that said moms across America, March to label GMOs. And it was at first an event we reached 50, Again, thousands locally, millions nationally in a single day. We had 179 groups that joined in 37 states. And within five years, we had 600 leaders all across the country that created over 1,000 events. And just on Facebook, in the first three months, we were reaching 300,000 a week. So this just shows the power of moms. When you amplify the voice of moms who people trust and people and moms by 85% of the food and legislators have told me that they're more afraid of moms than any other grassroots group out there. When you harness the power of moms, you get shit done, right? This is what happens. So, uh, you know, and the word spreads and we give solutions. We don't just, we don't just share problems with people. We share the solutions, right? You know, when you talk to your girlfriends, it was like, oh, this is happening, that's happening. What's the crux of that conversation? It's how can we find a solution, right? So that's what we do. And Moms Across America took off. It became not just a one-time event, but a nationwide and then an international movement. We've reached hundreds of millions of people. We've been featured in at least 14 different films, international and national. The latest one is Common Ground, and it's available on Amazon right now. Oh, yes. Also Secret Ingredients, bought Genetic, not Genetic, that was the one I watched to learn about GMOs, Modified, anyway, many different films. And my book has been published, you can see it behind me here, in the United States and also in Japan. So we have an international reach as well. So I got started because I love my children and I want them and other people to be able to not only have healthy lives, but to be able to procreate and experience the profound love that it is to have one's own child.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, absolutely. us having a functional medicine clinic, one of the things that we start with is your food. What type of food are you eating? Are you eating just the average you know, McDonald's and Mountain Dew and Krispy Kremes? Or are you seeking whole foods, organic foods? Because, you know, that is going just to make the difference right there. And if you're feeding your child crap, their health is going to be crap. And, you know, can you kind of address that? Because I know a lot of people are, they're like, well, I can't afford organic foods.
SPEAKER_01:Do you ever get that? You have, everybody has, you know, we all have Right. Most of us are prioritizing things like electronics and fancy vacations or clothes or makeup or beauty regimens before we prioritize organic food. And when you start to prioritize organic food, you're going to notice that your budget for your medical expenses will go down. Guaranteed across the board. You can either pay the farmer or you can pay the doctor. So if you want to free up money in your budget, which could be even more than what you're paying for organic food. I know personally, we've saved at least$100,000 for one son on when he switched to 100% organic food. And for 10 years, we did not have, he did not go to a doctor for any reason other than a sports checkup. Not kidding. And finally, when he did go to a doctor for just a checkup, what we found, because he had been eating organic whole food plant based diet for many years, which predominantly did not have meat, his cholesterol was too low. So he then needed to incorporate cholesterol. So besides that, you know, he needed to eat more meat and eggs and things like that. So, you know. For us, we can't afford to not eat organic because my children's health issues, their allergies, their autism symptoms, their autoimmune issues, their asthma, all of those things cost so much money. It was at least$10,000 a year. Right. For even for one child, I would assert. And I have three boys that have all been eating organic. And there's there's one or two of them that don't eat organic sometimes. And and they feel it. They notice it. They get either eczema or they have autism symptoms. You know, they have erratic behavior. And those issues flare up when they eat, you know, when they choose to eat food that's conventional and sugar and wheat and glyphosate and GMOs and all that. So I would just say that. do a couple of things. Number one is buy organic as much as possible. And if you can't buy all organic... which of what I really would strongly suggest you do if your child is having a flare up, like where you have inflammation or some type of autoimmune issue or something, give your body a chance to heal and give it a hundred percent organic for at least two weeks and see the difference. I was just a couple of months even to allow your body to heal. And, um, and you'll see that you'll sleep better. You'll feel better. You're you'll perform better in your job, in school, all of that. And that would be a hundred percent organic. And if you can't do that, at least switch your grains to organic because the grains are the ones that are being sprayed with glyphosate as a drying agent, and you're going to get the highest levels of glyphosate in those grains. GMOs like corn and soy, the high fructose corn syrup, all of those things, really highly processed foods, get those out. Get the soda out. Just don't even put it in your grocery cart. Don't tempt yourself by having it in your house. Don't put it in your grocery cart. No soda, no highly processed foods or very minimum. If you're going to buy processed foods like chips, make sure they're, you know, organic, no seed oils, no food dyes, no synthetic preservatives. And the thing is about organic, they don't have the synthetic food dyes. So you don't have to worry about that. They hardly have any of the, you know, they have seed oils, but they're usually like avocado oils and, you know, olive oils, better oils, right? They're usually better quality just because the way manufacturers think. So just switch to no sodas, no highly processed foods, low sugar, organic as much as possible, and you'll start to see a difference. But for those of you who have serious inflammation issues, just keep in mind you can't put a campfire out if you keep putting a teaspoon of fuel on the fire.
UNKNOWN:Right.
SPEAKER_01:If you want the inflammation to go out, to go down, you want your body to heal, you have to stop putting the fuel in. You have to stop, which is in this case, glyphosate and toxic chemicals and pesticides that create the inflammation in the body in the first place, right? You have to stop putting that in altogether. And then when you do, your body can heal. And over time, you will be able to put those foods back into your body at a minimum level, you know, a piece of pizza at a birthday party or a piece of wedding cake at a wedding. Or if you really need to do a donut at church, that type of thing, you can't. But if you're not inundating your body on a consistent basis with the offending chemicals and pesticides, then your body does fare much better. You sleep better. You feel better. You just live your life better. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Your idea of just take, you know, two weeks out of your life and go completely organic. And then you can literally see the difference in how you feel and how you sleep and how you interact with people. And that is probably going to make your budgeting a higher priority to keep those organics in. I absolutely love that. But so many things are going through my head while I talk to you because, I mean, it just kind of pisses me off that people mess with our food and people don't even know it. And, you know, I remember the food pyramid, you know, I'm getting up there in age and I remember the food pyramid, that big bottom of the food pyramid was like, you know, grains and breads and all that stuff. And now you look at all the glyphosate in those. And I just want to, I really want to point out and let people know that you and moms across America had a big play about Roundup. And thank you for making that. Now, is it true? Did Costco take it off their shelves?
SPEAKER_01:So they took the glyphosate-based Roundup off their shelves. Yes, we petitioned Costco at 89,000 signatures and it was right around the time of the lawsuit as well. So that also
SPEAKER_02:played,
SPEAKER_01:was a factor, right? And Costco agreed to stop selling Roundup. Now, just recently they reintroduced Roundup, but it doesn't have glyphosate in it. It has many other toxic chemicals and some say it's like 40,000 times more toxic. But that could also be sort of trying to shift the narrative to say that glyphosate isn't toxic. Do you know what I mean? Right. They're trying to say, oh, but it's, you know, then we should use glyphosate because these other chemicals are more toxic. No, just because it is doesn't mean it ought to be. And there's no safe level of glyphosate at all. We can get into that. But yes, we did get glyphosate. I mean, we did get glyphosate-based herbicides, I mean, such as Roundup off the shelves of Costco. We initiated the first glyphosate testing in America, citizen-funded testing. Nobody had done that before. I tried to find... a lab that would test my children for glyphosate in their urine because I realized that it could be connected to my son's autism symptoms. And I wanted to get him tested because I wanted to connect the dots with the GMOs, glyphosate, spraying of glyphosate on wheat. One of my sons was the only one eating wheat. The other two were gluten intolerant, so they were not eating wheat. And lo and behold, when I finally found a lab that would do the testing, that middle son that was eating wheat was the only one that had glyphosate in his urine. The other two did not.
UNKNOWN:Really?
SPEAKER_01:And he was the one who had the sudden onset of autism symptoms. And when I took glyphosate out of his diet as best as I could by going 100% organic, also removed sugar because that feeds them pathogenic bacteria. Also, by the way, at that time, I tested him and found he had the levels of glyphosate in his body, that of a farmer, right? He was not farming with glyphosate, but he was eating wheat sprayed with glyphosate. So he also had gut dysbiosis, C. diff. a whole host of fungi and bad bacteria in his gut. So we had to address that, unfortunately, with some antibiotics and antifungals. But we also did the sauerkraut and the MSM by MRM and the gut lining, you know, the gut colloidal filbers, things like that to heal its gut and 100% organic and no sugar because the sugar feeds the bad bacteria, as I'm sure your patients
SPEAKER_02:know.
SPEAKER_01:So no sugar. And you had to do that through Thanksgiving and Christmas and all the way through to New Year's. So Santa Claus brought sugar-free candy Right. So, yeah. So, um, but we did that and he did it and he felt better and we noticed, you know, not only was his glyphosate levels no longer detectable after six weeks, but his autism symptoms were gone and only came back when he ate the sugary junk processed food again. So, um, which was at that point in very long time, you know, he was much healthier for a very long time. And, um, so, so yes, so that was, um, I forget what your question was. Where did I go with that?
SPEAKER_00:Well, we were just talking about the glyphosate and the testing that was in your son because we were talking about Roundup. Is glyphosate really that bad if they're introducing some other form of a pesticide?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. So what we found was that within six weeks, my son with autism symptoms was significantly better by going organic. And I mean, it changed the whole household. You know, when he was behaving better, I felt better. When mom was happy, everybody's happy, you know, kind of thing. And people slept better and we all interacted better. And that's really the most important thing to me is when I look at why this is meaningful and why this is important and why I get up every day without an alarm clock ready and ready to go to work on this. It's because our relationships are the most important things in our lives. It's not having a Porsche. It's not having a big house. It's not getting, you know, putting in your hours in and getting recognition. It's who do you love and who loves you at the end of the day? Who's there for you? Are you there for them? Do you feel like you've made a meaningful impact on their lives? And the problem with what's happening in America today with so many people being sick is we don't feel good. And when we don't feel good, we don't behave well in our relationships. We don't make good choices for ourselves. We try to self-medicate. We get addictive behaviors.
SPEAKER_02:We
SPEAKER_01:eat too much or we drink too much or people do porn, people escape, people gamble, people drink out drugs, all of that. When we don't feel good, we resort to unhealthy measures, right, to reduce our feelings, to diminish our feelings. So. feeling good feeling being healthy is essential for good relationships and for loving households and supporting your children to growing up and being doing you know living their fullest potential and that is the most meaningful thing in life to me is to see my children living up to their fullest potential to feel like i'm making a difference to feel connected with somebody to Just to look in their eyes and get that we have a loving connection. Right. And all of that is threatened by the toxic chemicals in our food supply and in our environment. So I'm working very hard to get them out so that we can, you know, live our lives up to their fullest potential.
SPEAKER_00:And it's so important to empower moms because. I'm sure you didn't grow up thinking that, oh, when I get older, I'm going to lead this huge organization and we are going to help empower moms to make their kids healthy. And, you know, sometimes we just need to Each mom, each parent, each individual, you really need to step back and really think, what am I putting into my body? Because if it is chemicals and food dyes and, you know, bad seed oils and glyphosate, you know, you're right. Our health really determines everything. And you're right. You mentioned, you know, we want our children to grow up and marry healthy. other healthy people. And so that, you know, we can then further on and have more healthy children and, you know, a healthy community, but it really starts with that. So what would you tell a mom that's already overwhelmed with so many things? I mean, I would probably say start with diet or, you know, the nutrition that your family eats, but did you have to, was this a big obstacle for you to have to overcome? Or how did you incorporate this into your family? How do you teach a mom to really just focus on what you feed your kids?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, well, first of all, it's be aware. Be aware of how your children are behaving after they eat certain foods. Just notice it.
SPEAKER_02:If
SPEAKER_01:you need to take a notebook and write it down, do that. There's a father that I talked to at one point who said, Their son was punching holes in walls. I mean, they were spending a fortune trying to replaster their walls. Their son was so aggressive. And after a while, they noticed that it was mostly on Fridays after grandma came to visit and gave him a strawberry shortcake ice cream out of the food truck with the red food dyes. And, you know, also GMOs and chemicals, but the food dyes have been shown to cause aggression, especially red 40, red three, those food dyes. And so they asked her to stop doing that. And I think it was, they bought organic ice cream instead. I'm not sure, but they asked her to stop doing that. And that behavior went away. So first be aware, right? And then there's other things like rashes and being overweight and irritability and mood swings. And when you, when you start to switch to organic, like switch, switch your milk out first, switch your milk out, then switch your bread and start to notice if your children are sleeping better, feeling better, less irritable, less aggressive, of course, get rid of the, you know, the fruit loops and the junk candy, you know, the candy and the, sodas. And, um, doesn't mean you can't have those ever, but switch to organic and you'll notice a difference, which to, you know, organic limp, just buy lemonade and, you know, uh, lemon juice and make lemonade or, you know, um, just sparkling waters, you know, things like that, that are, that are naturally flavored or flavored with, uh, fruit juices. So, um, that the biggest hurdle is choosing, um, to prioritize your health first. And I'll tell you a short story of what happened, that moment that happened for me. And that is, my son was about nine years old, Ben, my oldest son was about nine years old. And he looked at me and one day he was at the breakfast table and he had a red line around his mouth and his lips were swollen and chipped and flaking and bleeding. And it had been on and off like that for seven months, two weeks at a time. And we didn't know what was causing it. I take him to about six different doctors. They all said to slap a cream on it that made it irritable and hurt and made it worse. And we didn't know what to do. And he looked at me one day and he said, mom, I wish all my allergies would go away. And I said, me too, buddy. In my head, I was thinking that's never going to happen because the doctors had told me that his allergies were only going to get
SPEAKER_02:worse.
SPEAKER_01:And that is nut allergy particularly was life threatening that he could die if he was exposed to nuts like even one more time. So I was a very stressed out mom. He was a very forlorn kid. And and so then I realized, though, what I was saying in my head, you know, that that was never going to happen. And I thought, wait a second, that is completely resigned and doubtful. That's being a victim now. That's not what I'm committed to doing and who I'm committed to being. I'm committed to being courageous, creative, and a contribution in the world. That's sort of the creed that I created for myself. So I said, if I was doing that, what could be possible? And I thought of my cousin, Sarah, who had eaten gluten-free for a year and essentially sort of healed her gut and then was then able to eat gluten at a piece of pizza at a party or a piece of wedding cake at a wedding. And so I reminded him of her and I said, would you like to one day be able to eat a slice of pizza at a birthday party? And he said, his eyes got big and he was like, yes. And I said, well, then would you be my partner? In your health, would you drink green drinks or try acupuncture or like do whatever it takes? That's the question. Would you do whatever it takes? And he thought about it seriously and he said, yes. So then I put my hand out, I shook his hand and I said, then I promise you, you will get better.
SPEAKER_02:Now
SPEAKER_01:that was one of those white light moments for me because I didn't know that I didn't know how to do that. I didn't know how to get him better. Yeah. Yeah. Your behavior changes. I want everybody to really let that sink in. A promise is not about them. It's about you stepping up and taking on actions that you normally never would have taken if you didn't promise. It's not about, you know, succeeding or failure. It's about you stepping up and taking on actions that you normally never would have taken on. And that is the juice of life. That's why we're here. We're here to be challenged. We're here to grow. We're here to fail. We're here to succeed. We're here to learn, right? So the journey is the win and the promise is how you get there, right? So that is the action, right? That I took with that commitment that I will do whatever it takes with my son. And we did that. We, we watched the movie, educated ourselves. We watched the movies, GMO, OMG together. We watched, I think it was like a corn Kings, you know, we food. Yeah. food, food, um, those types of movies together. He was nine years old. He was interested. And, um, and I made deals with him. Hey, you watch this movie with me and then I'll take you to Chuck E. Cheese later. Right. You know, like we made deals. That's what you do, especially with boys. They like deals.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:And so we made a deal. We, you know, we, we learned together and, um, we did the green drinks, the acupuncture, the Chinese herbs, the NAET, the MSM or MRM. Um, we went first, we went non GMO and within four months he was exposed Yeah, absolutely. He was exposed again through organic chicken lunch meat. For some reason, for a little while, they were allowing carrageenan even in organic. And he rashed out again, but it was only a faint pink line under his lip, and it only lasted a couple of days instead of two weeks. So we realized that, in fact, was one of his allergens. I mean, he had 20 different other allergies, but that was one of them that was really... One of the main causes was the lip thing. And during that time, I was like, you know, it's got to be this GMO glyphosate thing. It's got to be a big proponent of it because it's not normal for a kid to be able to eat chicken meat or a hot dog or ice cream one day and not the next, even though carrageenan might be the culprit. That's just not normal. It can't be my kid. It's got to be the food. Do you know what I mean? And not just the food itself. not just hearing Keenan. It's like, why are all these different, like all these babies, they were allergic to black pepper, to mangoes, to strawberries, to apples. What 18 month old was allergic to apples when you were a kid? None of them.
SPEAKER_02:So
SPEAKER_01:something was going on with the food. And at the time, to be fair, I did not know about vaccines. I did not know. I mean, I was giving my kids vaccines, but I hadn't read the ingredients. I didn't know about them. But since then, somebody posted about vaccines online, the ingredients. And I thought, oh, my gosh, because of what I know about GMOs and glyphosate, the animal parts in vaccines like bovine serum, chicken serum. I later found out there's gelatin from pig tens in there. I knew that. Just a warning
SPEAKER_00:to everybody, if you don't know what are in vaccines.
UNKNOWN:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Start there. We'll give you those resources.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, from the CDC. Look at the CDC list of the ingredients. So that's what somebody did was they posted the ingredients of vaccines and I saw them. I was like, holy cow, I'd never seen them before. I had been vaccinating my children. Now I had been doing one at a time for the most part, not when they were real little, I did a bunch of them, but then later on I started doing one at a time. I don't know why I just heard something anyway. I started doing one at a time, but that still was problematic. And they, what I learned was that with these animal parts in vaccines, I thought there must be, there probably is glyphosate in vaccines because glyphosate is sprayed on these grains as a drying agent. The animals eat them. It doesn't wash, dry or cook off. And we know that it goes into muscle and tendons and bone marrow because of animal studies. So glyphosate weed killer is probably in vaccines. So I sent five childhood vaccines to be tested for glyphosate, and they were all positive. All of them. Wow. Every single one. And the MMR vaccine had... It had 25 times higher the amount of glyphosate in it. And then another scientist tested and corroborated, confirmed our studies, our testing. He tested 14 vaccines, 12 were positive, and his MMR vaccine was 34 times higher with the amount of glyphosate. And this is a very important fact. because Andy Wakefield was vilified for saying that the MMR vaccine in particular was connected to gut dysbiosis, which was present in every child with autism, right? Or most children with autism. I don't know the exact wording. He never said that the MMR vaccine caused autism. He just said that the gut dysbiosis was connected to the autism, right? So... When we found that the MMR vaccine had the highest levels of glyphosate, 25 to 35, 34 times more, I was like, holy cow, this could be a major contributing factor of autism and probably all these allergies and autoimmune issues and all of that. Because when you disrupt the gut, when you cause gut dysbiosis, then you've got a whole host of these problems.
SPEAKER_02:And
SPEAKER_01:then Monsanto's lead toxicologist basically confirmed what I was thinking when she said, and it might have been previously, but when she said in an interview or in the discovery papers in the Monsanto trials that, oh, no, they don't test the final formulation of Roundup on rats in the animal studies because the rats have such delicate stomach linings that it tears up their stomach linings and the rats die. And they can't do studies on dead animals. So they don't test the final formulation of Roundup, which is what's sprayed on our food. They only test for glyphosate. They only test with glyphosate. And she said in the only way that glyphosate showed to be harmful, keep in mind this is in short-term animal studies, right? Short-term, just I think three or four days. The only way that glyphosate was shown to be harmful was when it was injected. And we all know it's not injected. No, we do know it's injected. We know that glyphosate, now we know that glyphosate is in childhood vaccines. And we have known this for nine years and none of the previous administrations have done anything about it. In fact, the CDC, when I FOIAed them, did a Freedom of Information Act, they blacked out, you know, they redacted 70% of what they sent back to me. But this administration, we submitted it and within, days, you know, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. requested that to look into glyphosate in vaccines. And so that is what's being researched right now. So hopefully they won't find any. Hopefully the vaccine manufacturers have found a way to stop, you know, that type of contamination. But my point in telling you about all this is that at the time, I thought it was all GMOs and glyphosate. And I believe now it's not just that. It's a combination of the vaccines and with glyphosate in the vaccines and the GMOs and all of that. But the major, you know, contributing factor is glyphosate. The glyphosate in the agriculture is contaminating the pharmaceutical products. Now, there's other harmful ingredients in these pharmaceutical products and vaccines as well. You know, the polysorbate 80 and the... the aluminum and all of that. But the other fact that people should know is that glyphosate increases the harmful impact of all other environmental toxins. So if glyphosate wasn't there, perhaps the, you know, the aluminum in vaccines wouldn't be as harmful is what I would assert, right? Because what glyphosate does is it, one of the ways it functions, there's many ways, but one of the ways it functions is it breaks through the blood brain barrier and it's a chelator. It grabs onto the, These heavy metals, toxins, all these things, and it can bring it into the brain. And Dr. Christopher Exley has found higher levels of glyphosate in the brains of children with autism and patients with Alzheimer's in particular spots of the brain. So he says that aluminum is causational to causing Alzheimer's and autism. And I would say it's in conjunction with glyphosate. Right. Glyphosate's
SPEAKER_00:just helping it. Just helping it. Yeah. Well, you know, and that's fine. Let's focus on, if we want to just focus on glyphosate and if that's what it takes to, you know, get rid of all the vaccines, that's perfectly fine because I don't think they found a way to get the glyphosate out of the vaccines.
SPEAKER_01:I'm thinking that would be tricky. Yeah. And there's plenty of signs to show that the vaccines aren't safe or effective even without the glyphosate issue. Right. But the glyphosate issue for me is a primary one and I think could be extremely instrumental in reducing harm to people by having them be number one, fully informed. Number two, choosing not to inject their kids with toxic chemicals. Even if the government doesn't do their job and regulate, right? Even if they don't take the vaccines off the market, we at least need full transparency. People need to be informed of the harm and they need to be able to choose not to inject their kids with these toxins.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. I mean, and that's what we've, worked on for, you know, ever since Vaxxed came out was just informing people of informed consent and your right to opt out. And hopefully, you know, we're getting there with most states, but we still have a few where these poor kids don't even, they don't even have a choice. But I want to talk about our new administration because, I mean, I'm just like, amen, people are reading food labels. That's amazing. I know. Is that not incredible? It's incredible. And going back to, I wanted to touch on you being a great mom because you're right. You make a promise to your child and you make that commitment. I mean, you are leading by example to your child. And I always tell people in our Mindset Kids community that, you know, our job as a parent is to take this little human, and grow them up into a responsible and a productive adult that's going to make good choices. And just by leading by example and giving them the promise and giving them the commitment, that's one of our basic jobs that we just need to check off and make sure that we do every day and lead by example. And thank you for doing that for your son. And then also thank you for doing it for all the moms across America. But I do want to go to our new administration. So I know some people complain that nobody's doing enough fast enough, but I just want to tell people to please have patience. Look what we've accomplished so far.
SPEAKER_01:In what, less than four months? It's amazing. Q1, this administration has done more than any previous administration for decades. For probably 100 years, you know, especially regarding our food supply. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. And our children's health that has just tanked over the past 30, 40 years. I mean, we've had just the spiraling descent of horrible health for our children. And nobody at the CDC, FDA, nobody has researched really to find out what the problem is. And so do you do you have hope? Oh, absolutely.
SPEAKER_01:And I have a huge amount of gratitude for what's happening right now. I mean, do I wish every mRNA vaccine was off the market right now? Yes, I do. Do I wish that, you know, glyphosate would have been banned already? Yes, I do. Right. There are there are things that I wish would be done right away. But what people need to understand is that Bobby is is appointed right. Right? Not elected. He's an appointed official. He can be unappointed any day. He is trying to get done as much as he can get done in the short time that he has in there without getting fired. He has to... he has to balance things. And also he has to do things that are low hanging fruit now, like the winds in order to get those, you know, smaller things done, like getting, you know, food dyes out of the food system. I mean, that's not a small thing either, but that's something that, you know, is facing less sort of, pushback than things like glyphosate right banning anything will bring lawsuits he knows this better than anybody he has sued the federal government and corporations 500 times he knows how they work they know he knows how sneaky they are he knows that they will try to ban i mean try to sue the fda and hold them you know hold things up for years so he's trying to get things done without bans which is frankly what he's done with the fda with the food I don't believe that they have fully banned. I believe the initial call was just to get them out of the food system by within a year, working with the corporations, right? By making this announcement, this is what we're doing. But then I actually, I did see a statement later that they're banning certain, banning certain synthetic dyes. So anyway, that is happening, whether it's a ban or not, that is happening. And, and so we need to understand that this administration is, wants to get things done with as few bans as possible with just choice. And I just made a post today because I know there's a lot of libertarians that my son is one, you know, a lot of libertarians that believe in no regulation at all from the government. Just let people live their lives, have personal freedom, all of that. Right. That's great. That's a great idea. It's very idealistic. And the fact is you don't need regulation if people are being responsible. Right.
UNKNOWN:Yes.
SPEAKER_01:And you don't need to come down with hard strict rules on your kids if they're doing their jobs, if they're doing their chores, if they're going to sleep, if they're eating good food. It's like, great, live free, be happy, right? But if people aren't being responsible, you need to come down with the rules. And the fact is now that especially chemical companies are not being responsible. They are lying to American farmers, telling them that these chemicals are safe. They're not telling them that these chemicals are, for instance, with glyphosate, chelating out. Eighty to ninety five percent of the nutrients in the crop with drift level exposure of glyphosate only one fortieth of the amount of glyphosate drift level will take out because it's a key later. Eighty to ninety five percent of the essential minerals, magnesium, zinc and iron in a crop. Those are the essential minerals for the basis of our immune system, not just for the plant, but for our livestock and humans. So our American farmers are growing nutrient deficient junk food. Just glyphosate exposure only, just drift, I mean, drift level exposure only. And this means that their yield is going to be smaller. It's going to attract more weeds, more pests because of the, you know, the killing off the beneficial bacteria in the soil and the, you know, the crop itself having less nutrients in it, it attracts more pests. because it's weak and sick. And so pests come to get rid of it. Mother nature's always trying to balance things, right? And there's more weeds when the organic matter in the soil is depleted and there aren't good, because the weeds are come to bring the nutrients back to the soil. Like mother nature's always trying to balance things out. So you attract more weeds and pests when the plant is weaker. And that's what glyphosate does. It also weakens the livestock's immune system, right? And it's been shown to cause antibiotic resistance. So now we're culling hundreds of millions of dollars of our livestock meat, right? Food prices go up because we have less access, decreased access to poultry and to pork and to beef. So that's a massive problem. And then humans... Our immune systems are weaker. And what Dr. Don Huber says that glyphosate does to a plant is it causes the plant to basically have AIDS, an autoimmune disease. And then the normally harmless bacteria in the soil kills it. And if you think about it, that's what's happening to Americans today. The normally harmless bacteria, viruses, we had more COVID deaths than anywhere in the world, mold, and parasites like Lyme disease. are harming us and killing us unlike ever before. These types of sicknesses did not happen when we were kids. I'm sorry, but we still had ticks when we were kids. There was mold when I was, there was more mold because our homes were made out of real wood instead of all these vinyl flooring. Do you know what I mean? We actually had more mold back when we were kids and our parents were kids and we do now, but people are more sick of it now because of our immune systems. I would assert because our immune systems are weakened and those things are, we're not as strong to take, you know, so anyway, um, I'm sorry to focus. No, I'm not sorry to focus on glyphosate so much, but this is, you can
SPEAKER_00:see. It's very important and people don't realize it.
SPEAKER_01:They don't realize how important it is to not only avoid glyphosate in your food supply, to ask farmers to not use glyphosate and other toxic chemicals, but to work to ban it. And we have a petition on our website to ban not just glyphosate, but all 85 pesticides that have already been banned in other countries, such as China, Europe, and Brazil. And we want those pesticides banned. They're getting rid of the eight food dyes in our food supply that have already been banned in other countries. We need to do the same with pesticides. Right. And if we did this, farmers would still have over 1,000 pesticides still left in their
SPEAKER_02:toolbox.
SPEAKER_00:Right. Well, I mean, they're going to have to phase this out. I mean, do something, but start doing something now and phase it out. But you're right. We do need some rules and some regulations. I'm going back a little bit because... Not everybody reads, not everybody is told, oh, like, for example, do you know what's in a vaccine? Because we assume that our governmental agencies are looking out for us and they're not. Because I just want to go back to, you know, Jim and I raised five kids. He was a medical doctor and all he knew from med school is that vaccines are safe and effective. I mean, it wasn't until after we had vaccinated all five of our kids with the majority of the vaccines, did he start really researching and studying and then Vaxxed came out and that completely changed. So I would love a world where we didn't have any rules, but we do expect some sort of protection from our governmental agencies. That's why they're there to, you know, weed out the bad stuff for us. So until we get a you know, people more interested in their own health and everything. We're going to, well, we need to clean up those agencies in the first place so that they're not, they're not okaying glyphosate. We
SPEAKER_01:have an administration now to answer your question. We have an administration now that gives me hope. I mean, for Trump to say, and I was not a Trump fan previously. I've been vocal about that. But when Trump said that, the words pesticides, autism, autoimmune disease, and cancer in the same sentence on a presidential platform, I cried. I was so happy. I said, okay, I don't care about all the other bad stuff he did. If he's going to do this for right now anyway, I'm going to support this because this is the most important issue in America right now is our health. Without health, we can't do anything about homelessness, jobs. Absolutely. All those other things are dependent on mental health, physical health and reproductive health. And so, you know, the economy, all of that, it's all it's all dependent on health. So that that is the that's the crux. And he was brilliant to bring Kennedy on board of the other people in his cabinet. And to also I want to point out what he did was it was it was a very it was almost like a mom move. He he got 14 of the cabinet members together and said, play nice. You all have to work on. This Maha Commission report and strategy, which, you know, we had 100 days to figure out why America is sick and then another 80 days to lay out the strategy. And he didn't just say, Kennedy, you need to do this, the head of the HHS. He said, you need to do this with the 13 other cabinet members, the EPA, the EPA. You know, USD, that was brilliant. That was a mom move, right? You need to play nice and figure this out. That was awesome. So I'm super grateful for that. I'm super grateful for all the people who work together. If you haven't read the Maha Commission report, it is astounding. You know, the stats, I learned things that... I had not previously learned statistics that were very shocking about our health issues. And the Maha Commission report is in the description. It does mention pesticides. It mentions EMFs. It mentions vaccines, fluoride, PFAS, you know, all kinds of different things that are harming our children's health. It does not mention GMOs and it does not mention geoengineering. So I am upset about that. But we are going to continue to raise awareness about those issues.
SPEAKER_00:Yes, absolutely. So I'm definitely going to put your website and list in, because I also want to go back to the 4th of July parades. Is there, if someone wants to do or participate in a 4th of July parade, is there a list of contacts of maybe somebody in their area is already doing a
SPEAKER_01:4th of July parade? Yeah, so we're just getting this up today. I don't know, are we airing today? No, we're not airing today.
UNKNOWN:No.
SPEAKER_01:No, you've got probably seven to 10 days. Okay. So on our website, momsacrossamerica.org under events, and there's a tab right on the front page that goes directly to the events. You will find the parades that people have hosted already. We're just getting started with this. And also you can post your own parade. That's what we encourage everybody to do is if you don't see a parade listed near you, then be the facilitator, be the one to, you have to register your group with your town hall. Some people you have to do this a month, a month in advance. It might be too late, but for most people you can do it up to two weeks or even the day before. So you can just or some people just show up and they join in. Right. So you can join into your Fourth of July parade. You can order a banner and T-shirts and bags and flyers. We invite people to hand out flyers to invite people in your town to get together at a large group, a gathering, maybe at a park. about two or three weeks after this so that you can connect. And the inspiration for that, so all of that will be on our website, momsacrossamerica.org. And one of the inspirations for this is this man named James Maskell, whose background is in health and functional medicine and all those types of things. He created a group, he wrote a book called Community Cure. And one of the stories that he tells is that a little town called Frome out of the UK wanted to cure, wanted to heal their loneliness in the town. And what they did was some people wore green lanyards that had a cure code on it. And they encouraged every single person in the town to join a group, a men's church group, a women's knitting group, a gardening group, a hiking group, right? And a year later after they did that, they noticed that the healthcare costs in the town dropped by 20 million pounds, which was 15% overall, which is by the way, the number of the tipping point that Jeffrey Smith, who did the movie genetic roulette, he said, once you meet 15%, it's, it's a snowball effect. That's all you need to do for a tipping point. So they, their drop healthcare costs dropped 15% and the ER visits dropped by 45%. What? That means 45% less like heart attacks, suicide attempts, right? Allergy, life-threatening allergy is I don't. So the community can cure this. each other we can support each we don't even need the government right we can do it on our own if we connect with each other we support each other so we're inviting people to join in fourth of july parades pass out these flyers to have a gathering two or three weeks after the parades get together and then hopefully we invite you to plan a larger event on in the month of october like october 11th is what we're suggesting we mentioned the 18th but conflicts with another big event. So whenever you can, but October 11th, ideally. And we, if we had say, for instance, a thousand events across the country, this is also national children's health month, national children's health, right? October. And so let's just say we had events all across the country on October 11th and Bobby could zoom in. but live, right, to these events and talk, that would be fantastic. But also each event we're hoping would have 50 local practitioners like acupuncturists, naturopaths, you know, homeopathic doctors, chiropractors, all of those types of energy healers, you know, practitioners that would have booths And, you know, TED Talk style curated talks, workshops, and they would connect people with the resources to heal themselves. Herbalists, tinctures, you know, yoga, you know, physical fitness trainers, health coaches, all of that. And we have a template for that and how to do that. And it's going to be amazing. And so we, you know, we encourage people. And at those events, there would be a QR code where everybody could get connected to their local groups. So, that's what we invite people to do. And in doing this, we're going to have a database, you know, each person, each host will have a database of people locally that can support. be tapped into to support local initiatives. Let's just say 5G towers are going up everywhere. We can alert those people and say, hey, let's show up at the city hall. We can say, hey, there's legislation happening in our state to pass things like these pesticide immunity bills, which they're trying to do right now in North Carolina. They're trying to get complete immunity from lawsuits so that if you get cancer from any one of 15,000 chemicals that are allowed in our environment, you won't be able to sue. Right. Right. every day now until the parades and then after the parades it'll be like hey let's do you know local events and national children's health month and we hope you will get involved and and if you don't think that you can be a leader of that type of you know big a lot we're hoping a thousand people at a thousand events all across the country and if people learn things and then they go out and share with 300 people we could reach 300 million americans We can do this.
SPEAKER_00:That's the number. That's great.
SPEAKER_01:But if you think that you can't be the leader for this, then I would invite you to go find a leader. There are event planners out there. There are people who are event planners. There are chiropractors who have wives that want to plant events, right? There are people who want to do this kind of thing. Just speak it and it will come. When we do what we love, all the world conspires with us. And so right now we are conspiring for health and freedom. And I invite you to be the one in your town, in your community to be the one that brings on, that cultivates, that creates health and freedom. And when we do this, it will be so, so much more of a beautiful world and our relationships will be wonderful and, and we'll, we'll be healthy and happy. It'll be amazing.
SPEAKER_00:I mean, you are the example because you started, you were one mom and that started this. And not every mom needs to be the leader. They can be part of the community and just join in and support one another. And I'm so proud of what you've done and how far you've come and the reach that you have now. And thank you so much for your time today. And hopefully we've inspired another mom or another dad to get involved and help spread awareness in their community.
SPEAKER_01:Thank you so much.
UNKNOWN:I appreciate you, Kathy. Take care, everybody.
