…you’ll find out how plant-based humic substances have the power to stop and reverse the effects of glyphosate damage in both humans and soil.
Caroline Alan, co-founder and CEO of BEAM Minerals, explains how minerals provide your body systems with critical cellular support, how they get depleted and how you can replenish them. She goes even further to talk about glyphosate’s harmful effects on human health and soil health, particularly when it comes to minerals.
In her former corporate career of software development and business consulting, Caroline experienced problems physically, mentally and energetically. She struggled with issues like life-long gluten intolerance, whole-body inflammation, leaky gut, chronic headaches, flat-lined adrenals and low thyroid. Her chronic health issues didn’t resolve until she began taking plant-based humic and fulvic minerals.
This cellular support changed her life so dramatically, she started deep research into the science of minerals and co-founded BEAM Minerals.
Then she kept going and began to look more closely at the current problems with farming in soils that have become unproductive due to a lack of microbial and mineral content. She investigated the effects of glyphosates on soils and in the human body and found:
The bottom Line? We all have glyphosates in our bodies. Studies done in 2015 and 2017 showed that 60 to 80 percent of people in North America had glyphosates in their urine (a conservative estimate) and 40 percent of Europeans did.
And when it gets into your system, here’s a few things glyphosate can do:
Studies also show more use of glyphosate can lead to an uptick in chronic and acute health conditions. For example:
“One of the things that’s really important to realize is that It’s not only glyphosates that are the problem, but what they’re doing now is they are mixing glyphosates with these things called adjuvants and surfactants,” Caroline says. “What they’re trying to do is make them more bioavailable to the plant. So the plant absorbs them more. And guess what? That also works in your body. Your body also absorbs them more, so they’re actually getting more powerful. And then when you have repeated applications, either on the soils or in your guts, it creates real problems.”
Research finds that plant-based humic and fulvic substances offset glyphosate harm. Here’s how:
“When I took the plant-based minerals,” Caroline says, “not only was I replenishing the minerals in my system and helping my system to regain homeostasis, I was also remediating, removing the glyphosates from my system, and also inhibiting some of the things that it can do. And what I really want to do is be able to empower people to understand some of these pieces in really simple language so that they can really begin to remediate the glyphosates out of themselves and take this issue seriously.”
This conversation will help you recognize symptoms of mineral depletion in your own body. You’ll get practical tips about how to use 100% bioavailable, plant-based fulvic and humic mineral supplementation in easy forms like liquids and topical spray.
And in broader scope, you’ll find out about the efforts under way to bring together scientists, doctors, soil experts, farmers, and agriculture businesses and organizations to create meaningful change.
