Big Ag is still battling in the Farm Bill to protect glyphosate (detectable in 90%+ of people), but we don’t have to wait. We can take action NOW!! As an RN who went fully holistic, here’s my evidence-backed list of 6 practical steps to help your body clear glyphosate. Drawn from NIH/PubMed studies on excretion, organic diet trials, binders, antioxidants, and liver/gut support. (Links to the studies in comments) —GO 100% ORGANIC! A key study showed urinary glyphosate and AMPA dropped ~71% and ~77% in just 6 days on an organic diet. Diet is the main exposure route. Switching lets your body clear stored toxins fast. —USE NATURAL BINDERS daily (activated charcoal, bentonite clay, or humic/fulvic acids) These adsorb glyphosate in the gut for fecal excretion. Clays and charcoal show strong binding capacity in relevant research; take away from food/meds. —SUPPLEMENT YOUR DIET with glycine and glutathione supporters (NAC, vitamins C) Glyphosate disrupts glycine and depletes glutathione. Extra glycine competes for uptake; NAC boosts glutathione to counter oxidative stress from herbicides. —SWEAT IT OUT with sauna or exercise (3–4x/week) Sweat excretes pesticide metabolites (studies on organophosphates and similar toxins confirm this route). Infrared/traditional sauna 15–30+ min with good hydration helps move lymph and toxins. —SUPPORT LIVER AND GUT! (cruciferous veggies, probiotics, high fiber) Glyphosate harms the microbiome and detox enzymes. Broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts upregulate phase II pathways (glucuronidation, glutathione conjugation). High-fiber + fermented foods aid elimination. —DAILY LIVER SUPPORT DETOX TEA Herbs like dandelion root, burdock, ginger, and turmeric support bile flow, liver repair, and gentle detox. This isn’t magic—it complements the above by aiding phase I/II pathways and reducing inflammation. My Go-To Recipe (makes 1–2 cups): 1 tsp dried dandelion root (or 1–2 fresh leaves) 1 tsp dried burdock root ½–1 inch fresh ginger (sliced) + ½ tsp turmeric powder (or fresh) + pinch black pepper Simmer roots/ginger in 2 cups water for 10–15 min, strain, add turmeric/pepper/lemon. Drink warm, 1–2x daily (morning + evening). Start slow if new to dandelion (it’s a diuretic). Optional: squeeze of lemon + raw honey to taste —PRO TIP: Combine these with castor oil liver packs for deeper support. Stay hydrated, eat fiber, and consult your provider before new supplements (especially if pregnant, on meds, or with conditions). Re-test urine glyphosate if possible. This is real support for your body’s natural systems. No quick fixes—just consistent, nature-backed action. ONE MORE THING: Call your representatives in D.C. !! INSIST they support the PINGREE-MASSIE AMENDMENT to END PESTICIDE IMMUNITY! No liability shields for toxic poisons!! (If you have followed me for more than a minute your reps should be on speed dial by now.) Which step will you start with? Drop results/questions below + tag someone fighting the toxin load below. Have you tested your levels?

GOLDENSEAL Hydrastis canadensis Among the top selling botanical supplements in the US for many years, Goldenseal is now at risk of extinction in the wild. As a result, Goldenseal has become increasingly expensive. This amazing plant is native to North America and has a rich history in Native American medicine. —The Iroquois use the plant to remedy digestive complaints and to help fight infections. —The roots are considered a health tonic by the Cherokee. They mixed the pulverized roots with bear fat for use as an insect repellant. —Settlers used it as a common home remedy and It was listed in the U.S. Parmacopoeia from 1831 until 1936. —Parts of the plant are also used in treating snakebites The rhizome of the Goldenseal plant has been used for the treatment of a variety of diseases including, gastrointestinal disorders and ulcers, constipation, skin infections, eye infections, urinary and digestive tract infections. The most bio active alkaloid identified in different parts of the Goldenseal plant is Berberine which gives the extract of various parts of the plant its numerous therapeutic effects such as antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, hypolipidemic, hypoglycemic, antioxidant, neuroprotective (anti-Alzheimer's disease), cardioprotective, and gastrointestinal protective. Various research findings suggest the health promoting effects of goldenseal components and their extracts. Hydrastine is the other major alkaloid found in goldenseal. It is noted for killing bacteria and fighting off bacterial infections. It’s also considered a central nervous system depressant and can act as a sedative. Other bioactive compounds found in the plant work synergistically with these two primary alkaloids to give Goldenseal its unique blend of therapeutic benefits. Goldenseal is a local antibiotic, meaning it must come into contact with the infected area. It also creates a mild immune system activation. This makes it useful in urinary tract and digestive tract infections. Goldenseal has been shown to lower blood sugar which also helps in treating infections since most pathogens feed on glucose. It has also been used as a topical treatment for canker sores. While much research has been done on Berberine, there’s not much in the literature about Goldenseal. “More research is needed.” Just because Goldenseal is endangered and costly doesn’t mean you can’t have your own supply. Goldenseal is hardy in growing zones 3-8. Consider cultivating your own Goldenseal in a shady area with good drainage. Great for making tinctures!
