Glyphosate, a health hazard
Glyphosate, a herbicide widely used in agriculture, has been the subject of growing concern for a number of years over its effects on human health. Used not only for weed control, but also as a pre-harvest desiccant, its impact on health is still the subject of debate. Among the effects observed are disruption of the intestinal microbiome, inhibition of certain enzymes and a potential link with certain types of cancer.
Study on glyphosate removal with IonCleanse
Terri Hirning and Elaine Copeland conducted a study to assess the ability of the IonCleanse by AMD detoxifying footbath to reduce glyphosate levels in the human body. The study involved 19 participants divided into two groups: a detoxification group using the IonCleanse machine and a control group. The aim was to compare glyphosate levels in urine before and after a 30-day period.
Conduct of the study
- Initial phase: Participants in both groups provided urine samples at the start of the study to establish a baseline of their glyphosate levels.
- Intervention:
- The detoxification group underwent 12 sessions of IonCleanse footbaths (three times a week, 30 minutes per session) for 30 days.
- The control group received no detoxification treatment and maintained their usual lifestyle.
- Final phase: After 30 days, a second urine sample was taken from all participants to analyse glyphosate levels.
Significant results
The results showed a significant difference between the two groups:
- The group using the IonCleanse footbath saw a 48% reduction in their glyphosate levels.
- In comparison, the control group showed a reduction of only 14%.
These results suggest that the IonCleanse detoxifying footbath could be an effective tool for facilitating the elimination of glyphosate from the body. The greater reduction in levels of this chemical in the treated group shows the promising potential of this detoxification method.
Conclusion
The study provides encouraging evidence of the effectiveness of the IonCleanse footbath in eliminating toxins such as glyphosate, a chemical to which many people are exposed on a daily basis. These results mark a step towards natural solutions to help the body rid itself of harmful substances.
