By now, most of us are aware of the controversy surrounding genetically modified crops that are horrendously sprayed with Monsanto’s herbicide Roundup Ready with its active ingredient glyphosate.
We know that the main GMO crops are soy, corn, cotton, sugar beets, alfalfa, and canola (even if it says organic). As a side note, canola oil was originally used as an industrial solvent until someone came up with the idea that if it was modified it could be sold as a vegetable oil. Granted it comes from a rapeseed, but why would anyone in his or her right mind want to ingest something that was used as a toxic solvent to begin with?
In Hawaii, Monsanto and GMOs have been raked through the coals. So much so that Monsanto has released a “teary” community message to dispel the “lies” about GMOs. Of course they never mention the fact that GMOs have been banned in over 20 countries in the world and only flourish in the good ol’ US of A. More about that later.
Here’s the tearjerker they released:
“Aloha Friends and Neighbors.
Lately, you may have seen or read a lot of things about Monsanto Hawaii, including some very outrageous and untruthful claims. We’d like to take a moment to speak up on behalf of our thousand employees and families.
First and foremost we’re farmers. Many of us grew up on farms, come from farming families, and have dedicated our careers to agriculture. We’re also passionate about growing seed corn that is used to help farmers grow crops to feed the world {who cares if the corn crops are sprayed with 2-4-D, the active ingredient in Agent Orange?}.
We’re very proud of our products and the benefits they bring to the millions of farmers who buy our seeds {which have to be bought every year because the seeds only have a one-year life and cannot be harvested from crops for replanting the next season}. Our work in Hawaii has enabled growers across the globe to produce more per acre, consume less fuel and adopt eco-friendly agricultural practices {who cares if hundreds of poor farmers in India committed suicide because they could not afford to buy seeds every year?}.
For years, our seeds have helped farmers protect their crops from insects and disease. Our newer innovations include corn plants better able to withstand drought, and soy beans richer in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Our seed products have undergone years of careful study, and have an outstanding safety record {just like tobacco did 50 years ago}.
Recently, there have been many wild accusations about us, with no basis in truth {I guess they never read the Dr. Giles-Eric Seralini report from the University of Caan in France linking their sprayed garbage with cancer}.
Our fields have been threatened with destruction, we’ve been individually targeted and harassed, and our friends and neighbors attacked with hate language and racial slurs. This irresponsible and violent behavior generates needless fear and divides our community. It’s not “pono” {good}.
Many of us were born here, grew up here, went to school here and are raising families here. We care greatly about our homes, schools, neighborhoods and islands, and are supportive, charitable members of our community {just ask all the politicians we pay off}.
We’re happy to meet and talk story with those who have a genuine interest in knowing more about who we are and what we do. We gladly offer presentations to interested groups. Please look for additional invitations to learn more about us. You may be surprised by what you discover.
Mahalo nui loa {thank you very much}”!
I’ll give you all a moment to dry the tears from your eyes . . .
Recently, there was a report issued by Anthony Samsel, an independent scientist and consultant from Deerfield, NH, and Dr. Stephanie Seneff, an MIT computer science and artificial intelligence laboratory scientist, that had the title, “Glyphosate’s Suppression of Cytochrome P450 Enzymes and Amino Acid Biosynthesis by the Gut Microbiome: Pathways to Modern Diseases”. It’s a very lengthy and scientific report that is a mind blower. The conclusion reads as follows:
“This paper presents an exhaustive review of the toxic effects of the herbicide, glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, in humans, and demonstrates how glyphosate’s adverse effects on the gut microbiota, in conjunction with its established ability to inhibit the activity of cytochrome P450 enzymes, and its likely impairment of sulfur transport, can remarkably explain a great number of the diseases and conditions that are prevalent in the modern industrialized world. Its effects are insidious, because the long-term effects are often not immediately apparent.
The pathologies to which glyphosate could plausibly contribute, through its known biosemiotic effects, include inflammatory bowel disease, entropy, obesity, depression, ADHD, autism, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, multiple sclerosis, cancer, muscle wasting disease, infertility, and developmental malformations.
Glyphosate works synergistically with other factors, such as insufficient sun exposure (vitamin D deficiency), dietary deficiencies in critical nutrients such as sulfur and zinc, and synergistic exposure to other xenobiotics whose detoxification is impaired by glyphosate.
Given the known toxic effects of glyphosate reviewed here and the plausibility that they are negatively impacting health worldwide, it is imperative for more independent research to take place to validate the ideas presented here, and to take immediate action, if they are verified, to drastically curtail the use of glyphosate in agriculture. Glyphosate is likely to be pervasive in our food supply, and contrary to being essentially non-toxic, it may in fact be the most biologically disruptive chemical in out environment”.
To sum this up, the glyphoste in GMOs destroys your health. When Dr. Seneff was guest on my radio show, she made it clear that glyphosate kills all the sulfur and zinc in the soil and enhances all the diseases listed above. She made it very clear that sulfur will promote good health.
So, for anyone who eats or shops, if soy, corn, and cotton products do not say organic or non-GMO and you eat them, you are putting your health at grave risk. As far as sugar goes, if it does not say cane sugar, the likelihood of it being GMO is huge. GMO sugar will say “sugar” or “high fructose corn syrup’ or “corn syrup”. Please, please read labels. As far as canola goes, don’t touch it with a 10 foot pole.
The question arises: Why don’t our politicians do anything? They do! They take money from the biotech industry and will not bite the hand that feeds them.
When Obama campaigned in 2008, he promised that he would call for the mandatory labeling of GMOs. Instead of doing that he appointed many of Monsanto’s former employees to key government positions. Michael Taylor as the FDA Food Czar; Tom Vilsack as the Head of the Department of Agriculture; Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagen was a Monsanto lawyer, as was Clarence Thomas, as was Hilary Clinton.
There’s a funny story that sums up Obama pretty well.
A guy dies and goes before St. Peter at the Pearly Gates and asks if he can come in. St. Peter tells him before he can come in his “lie clock” has to be checked out. The guy is confused and St. Peter explains that George Washington only told one lie in his life, so he has a good place in Heaven. He also tells the guy that Abe Lincoln only told two lies in his life, so he has a good place in Heaven as well. The guy inquires as to whether he can find out the status of a living person’s “lie clock” and St. Peter says he can. So, he inquires about Obama and St. Peter tells him that Obama’s “lie clock” is being used in God’s office as a ceiling fan.
The only person that will take responsibility for you is you. Please do not waste that opportunity.
Aloha!

I have been doing a radio show in Honolulu since 1981 called “Health Talk”. To listen to the show please tune into 1080 or 108 am or go to www.kwai1080am.com on your computer at 8am Hawaii time. FYI, 8 am Hawaii time is 10 am on the West coast and 2 pm on the East coast. To call in, the number is (808) 524-1080.
Now, American Voice Radio will be picking up my streamed show and playing it all week until the next one takes place. To listen, go to americanvoiceradio.com and click on my link at AVR 2. Starting in December I will be doing another radio show on AVR at 8:00 am Hawaii time on Thursday mornings. Just go to the website, click on AVR 2, and listen live or tune in later and listen via the archive to Health Talk with Hesh.
See you on the radio!
In 2007, I was “forced” to get a masters degree in Nutrition to stop all the doctors from calling in asking what my credentials were. Besides that, they never liked it when I asked them what their credentials were that would enable them to treat an illness without drugs or surgery.
If you go to www.healthtalkhawaii.com and click on Podcasts and Articles, there are years of shows there as well as hundreds of health related articles that are completely free to listen to and read.
I am an activist. I am vehemently opposed to GMOs, vaccines, processed foods, MSG, aspartame, fluoridation, and everything else that the “pimps” (big pHarma, Monsanto, and the large food companies), and the “hookers” (the doctors, the government agencies, the Public Health officials, and the mainstream media) thrust upon us, the “tricks”.
At 76, I am in 3 softball leagues, racewalk, do stand-up paddling, hike, swim, do weights and cardio, and teach women’s self-defense classes based upon 20 years of Wing Chun training. I have been a vegetarian since 1975 and a vegan since 1990, have no illnesses and take no meds.
After being vaccinated with the DTP vaccine as a child, I developed asthma, which plagued me until 2008 when I learned about and started taking the organic sulfur crystals. My asthma was reversed in 3 days and has not come back.
So far, 29 cases of autism that we know about have been reversed, as has cancer, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, asthma, osteoarthritis, joint pain, gingivitis, and erectile dysfunction. The sulfur has increased sexual activity, eliminated toxins, heavy metals, radiation, and parasites. It speeds up athletic recovery time, increases blood circulation, reduces inflammation, increases resistance to the “flu”, reduces wrinkles, allergies, PMS, monthly period pain, migraines, nausea, lowering high blood pressure, raising low blood pressure and way more, because the oxygen that the sulfur releases floods and heals the cells in the body.
The sulfur, as proven by the University of Southampton in England, enables the body to produce vitamin B12 and the essential amino acids.
You can find out more about this on my website under Products.
My book, “A Sane Diet For An Insane World”, which has been published, can be viewed and purchased at www.asanediet.com. The book clearly explains why what you eat, for the most part, is designed to keep you in a state of declining health.
I have recently discovered two amazing super foods – Zeal and Shakeology – Zeal contains 30 amazing probiotics, anti-oxidents and more, all designed to build and strengthen the immune system and Shakeology contains 42.
What’s great about Shakeology is that it is filling, replaces one meal and keeps you full for hours and helps with weight control and loss. For more info about Shakeology please email me or go to www.beachbodycoach.com/heshgoldstein. The good news about Shakeology is if you are not satisfied after 30 days the company will refund you.
And now I have come across an amazing bee pollen that is so soft it melts in your mouth and has so many benefits. It is rich in vitamin B12 and all B vitamins, proteins, minerals, beneficial fatty acids, carotenoids, bioflavenoids, antioxidants, antihistamines, enzymes, antibiotics, and natural phenylalanine, which acts as an appetite suppressant, and more.
My daily regimen consists of one teaspoon of the crystals twice a day, one scoop of the Zeal in cold water, one packet of Shakeology either in 8 to 12 ounces of water or added to my smoothie and a heaping tablespoon of bee pollen.
