Huge increases in health problems – risk factors include Vitamin D, Antibiotics, and Roundup

During the past 40 years there have been big increased in

• Incidence of 34+ diseases - diseases associated with low vitamin D
• use of Antibiotics
• Roundup
• Vitamin D deficiency

There are many studies showing the risk factors for antibiotics, roundup and low vitamin D
The risk factors vary from 1.5X to 15X – depends on the disease
Often it is the same disease: examples - autism, obesity, etc.

Roundup

• Kills all plants (GMO = Genetically Modified Organism) which have not be designed to resist it (roundup-ready)
• The weed which have evolved to resist it are sometimes called superweeds
• >90% of all soy, corn, grown in the US is roundup-ready
• These crops are both directly consumed as food and indirectly via farm animals.
• There have been a variety of country-wide bans on the use of roundup or GMO foods
• China experienced 20 X increase in Parkinson's and 100X in Autism before banning GMO soy in 2013
  China then banned corn and soy from the US, Argentina, etc.
     Apparently Japan has not had the problem, and they have always banned GMO foods.
     Note: soy does not increase risk of Breast Cancer in Japan(no GMO), but soy does in the US (GMO)
• Roundup is also now used just before harvest of some crops
• Monsanto banned from EU parliament (they refused to respond to Glosophate safety questions) – Oct 2017
• The “inactive ingredients” in Roundup cause it to be 125X more toxic than glyphosate
• Documentation of Roundup and birth defects goes back 30 years

Antibiotics

• First used in the early 1950’s
• particularly bad is the use of antibiotics before gut/brain communication is established (infant)
• 10X more tons of antibiotics are used to increase weight of farm animals
• Antibiotics often substantially reduce the diversity of gut bacteria
• Antibiotics were recently greatly increased in Australia
  Australia subsequently experience a huge increase in autism
• Antibiotics have been proven to cause the creation of superbugs
• To minimize the threat of superbugs Europe tried (2000?, unsuccessfully) to reduce use of antibiotics for feed animals.

Vitamin D

• Lack of vitamin D results in a poor immune system and great increase in many diseases

Increased Roundup and Antibiotics

• Glyphosate GreenMedInfo Aug 2017 = Roun-2017
  The following image was made years after the above matrix was assembled by VitaminDWiki

Interesting to see the overlap of the diseases

Prevention options for individuals

• Reduce use of antibiotics – especially for infants
• Eat organic foods
• Increase vitamin D levels – supplementation/sunshine

Treatment options for individuals

• Increase vitamin D levels – supplementation/sunshine
• Probiotics and prebiotics may restore some of the gut biotics lost due to antibiotics
• Promising future option: get gut bionome from a healthy person (fecal transplant)
  • Example: fecal transplant from thin mice made obese mouse thin

Unaware of any Vitamin D study which also considered Antibiotics or Roundup
They could have, but failed to ask participants
How to tease it out?
Have there been big changes in antibiotics/Roundup in a country?
Has that country experienced a large change in incidence of any of the associated diseases?
Note: it appears that the change in incidence of Autism at age 2 would be the quickest indicator

In April 2014 I read an excellent book: Missing Microbes, which resulted in my making
Antibiotics and Vitamin D are associated with many of the same diseases

• Average of 17 antibiotic treatments by age 20 in the US
• The page has multiple extremely strong proofs linking increased obesity to increased antibiotics
