Dramatic postmortem evidence of glyphosate-linked damage to animal organs

Warning to the squeamish: The veterinarian’s report which we link in this report shows photos of damaged internal organs under post-mortem examination by Ted Dupmeier, DVM, who has provided veterinary service in Saskatchewan since 1970. His veterinary group focuses on beef, dairy, swine and sheep. 

Sept. 17, 2017 — We encourage you to study the web posting by Dr. Dupmeier at this link. It takes you to his “DOCTORTED” website. His report was posted July 17, 2017 and soon “went viral.”

Our friend Howard Vlieger forwarded Dr. Dupmeier’s report to us. In 2013, Howard provided the facilities, livestock and much other support for a controlled study of Roundup/GMO feedstuffs on hogs finished on his farm. Researcher Judy Carman is the principal author of the scientific report, which reveals essentially the same GMO/glyphosate consequences seen by Dr. Dupmeier. Here’s the link to Dr. Carman’s site, which contains that entire study plus more.

Even if you don’t raise livestock, these reports might show you an opportunity, such as raising and marketing non-GMO crops (and avoiding use of Roundup just for the health of yourself and your family). 

Dr. Dupmeier launches his concise description of several actual cases with this overview. We’re quoting it exactly as he posted the comment:

“GLYPHOSATE TOXICITY IS A HUMANE CARE OF ANIMALS ISSUE FOR VETERINARIANS AND LIVESTOCK PRODUCERS as the affected animals suffer immensely.”

After presenting five cases with postmortem evidence and recovery guidance, Dr. Dupmeier sums up the primary impacts on animals:

1. Gut bacteria dysbiosis: Enterococcus Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus decrease; Clostridia proliferate.
2. Mineral chelation such as Mn and Cobalt.
3. Immune system dysfunction.
4. Hormone dysfunction.
5. Disruption of biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids such as phenylalanine tyrosine and tryptophan with resulting problems.
6. Facilitates mycotoxin growth.
 
Common areas I have seen problems:
-liver
-kidney
-immune system
-Clostridial
 
Another friend, Iowa veterinarian Art Dunham, has repeatedly seen similar results in livestock. He has urged USDA to take action; which has been a frustrating ordeal.
 
And…keep in mind that glyphosate residues are almost everywhere in the processed foods you eat, especially those originating in the U.S. with corn, soybeans and sugar beets.  Even wheat has glyphosate residue, as much of it’s sprayed with glyphosate as a drydown desiccant just before harvest.
