RoundUp’s Link to Disease Causing Chronic Inflammation, Part 1

Well over 1500 years ago the Roman Empire began to show several signs of the beginning of a decline of its elite geopolitical position.  A rapidly decaying infrastructure, currency debasement, and the ascension of Commodus in AD 180 surely played their roles but there have been several studies done and scholarly articles published that show heavy favorable evidence that the jumping off point for the decline of the Roman Empire was actually lead poisoning caused by the pipes they used to transport water, as well by a wide variety of their daily use artifacts. After all this time could we be poised to suffer the same fate? In modern times, however, it’s not lead pipes that are our current concern but rather the hundreds of chemicals that can be found in and on our food that we know precious little about. In fact, one of these chemicals that has been studied at length and has been found to be a danger to human and animal health in a variety of ways can be found in your garden, your home, on your lawn, in your child’s school, and on nearly every bite of food you swallow. Monsanto’s chemical herbicide known as RoundUp is a glyphosate-based poison and the most widely used chemical in the world.

What Is Chronic Inflammation

Inflammation is a natural part of the body’s immune response. It can be beneficial when you skin your knee and the injured tissues need care and protection. Sometimes, however, inflammation can last longer than necessary. When this happens, it does far more harm than good.  Some useful facts about inflammation are:

• Inflammation is the body’s effort to protect itself and try to remove harmful stimuli and start the healing process
• Infections, wounds, and any tissue damage would never be able to heal without this inflammatory response
• Inflammation is a vital part of the body’s immune response
• Chronic inflammation can ultimately cause a variety of  diseases and conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis and several cancers

The five acute inflammation signs of pain, redness, immobility, swelling, and heat only apply to inflammations of the skin (lacerations, wounds, etc). If inflammation occurs deep inside the body, such as occurs with internal organs, only some of these signs may be easily noticeable. Some internal organs may not have sensory nerve endings nearby, so there will be no pain, such as in certain types of lung inflammation. Physical indicators of chronic inflammation will include fatigue, chest pain, mouth sores, joint pain, fever, rash, and abdominal pain. Chronic inflammation refers to long-term inflammation and can last for years. One of the known causes of chronic inflammation is exposure to a low level of a particular irritant, such as an industrial chemical, over a long period. This is how Roundup causes chronic inflammation. Your body simply does not recognize the chemicals in the herbicide or in the genetically modified food. It sees these things as foreign invaders and attempts to flush them from your system. The problem here lies in the fact that you are constantly taking these chemicals into your body just about every single time that you eat or drink, so your body never gets a chance to stop trying to fight them, and no matter how hard it works they will always be in your system.  Chronic inflammation can ultimately cause a host of diseases and ailments including some cancers, rheumatoid arthritis, atherosclerosis, periodontitis, and hay fever.
