Low-ModerateGBS: 73 (Moderate-High Risk)detox

Glyphosate/Pesticide Detox

Developer: Stephanie Seneff, Zach Bush, various

3-6 months detox phase, ongoing organic diet

Protocol Overview

Protocol to minimize glyphosate (Roundup) exposure and support detoxification of this ubiquitous herbicide that disrupts gut microbiome and chelates minerals. Includes dietary changes and supportive supplements.

Conditions Treated

Glyphosate exposure

pesticide toxicity

leaky gut

microbiome disruption

Protocol Steps

Eliminate exposure: Switch to organic food (especially wheat, oats, chickpeas, soy - most contaminated), avoid conventional animal products (glyphosate in feed), home yard care (stop using Roundup)

Glyphosate testing: Urine testing available (HRI Labs) to establish baseline and track reduction

Glycine supplementation: Glyphosate mimics glycine - flood system with real glycine 5-10g daily (powder in water) to displace glyphosate

Mineral repletion: Glyphosate chelates minerals - supplement zinc 30mg, manganese 5mg, magnesium 400mg, selenium 200mcg, molybdenum 150mcg

Gut healing: ION Gut Support (formerly Restore) 1 tsp 3x/day to strengthen tight junctions damaged by glyphosate

Probiotics, fermented foods, l-glutamine 5g 2x/day

Liver support: Milk thistle, NAC, glutathione to support phase 2 detoxification

Sulfate support: Epsom salt baths (glyphosate depletes sulfate), MSM supplement, cruciferous vegetables

Shikimate pathway support: Glyphosate disrupts this pathway - supplement folate (methylfolate), B-vitamins, aromatic amino acids (tryptophan, tyrosine, phenylalanine)

Saunas: Infrared or traditional to promote sweating (glyphosate excretion route)

Activated charcoal or bentonite clay: 1-2g before bed to bind glyphosate in gut

Contraindications & Risks

Generally safe protocol, glycine is well-tolerated, main barrier is cost of organic food

Important Notes

Glyphosate (Roundup) is most widely used herbicide in history. Found in majority of humans tested. Disrupts shikimate pathway (in bacteria and plants - affects gut microbiome). Mimics glycine, incorporates into proteins causing dysfunction. Chelates minerals. Damages tight junctions (leaky gut). Stephanie Seneff's research links to multiple diseases. Organic diet is foundation - exposure is primarily food. Wheat/oats dried with glyphosate pre-harvest (highest contamination). Glycine supplementation is elegant solution - competitive inhibition. ION Gut Support protects tight junctions.

Critical Safety Warning

This protocol is documented for educational purposes only. The Gabriel Bullshit Score (GBS) of 73 reflects significant institutional response and controversy. Some alternative health protocols have resulted in serious harm or death.

Always consult with qualified healthcare professionals before beginning any treatment. Do not delay or forego proven medical care.

About GBS Score

The Gabriel Bullshit Score reflects the magnitude of institutional response, controversy, and documented concerns. Higher scores indicate greater institutional pushback, not necessarily inefficacy. This is a research tool, not medical advice.
