High Winds and eucalyptus trees were the major force...not Round-up!
Herbicide.
My MIL is taking a shot and she only has to have it every 3 months. She started improving right after the first one.
The Roundup from that early application goes right into the soil, so I wouldn’t be too quick to dismiss it. It kills most plants on contact!
Yes, but weed free........
Intelligent post. Everyone needs to read it.
These toxins act on every part of us, but it seems the first hit in all animals is the "tender" reproductive organs and systems. It does increase infertility but it doesn't make EVERYONE sterile on day 1.
It affects sexual development in the womb especially. It causes reproductive organ defects as well as causing problems in sexual identity and orientation in the fetus.
Neurotoxins are not good for the human body, but they don't always cause you to fall over dead TODAY. Don't pooh-pooh this warming because it came from such a source, or because you can't SEE the damage it does. You might be able to cross a 4 lane highway a time or two as well. This is for real.
Yeah i know,but they had a lot of Scottish broom,grows like crazy and sheds lots of flowers,it was taking over the hills and they banned the use of Roundup,to save the enviroment and all that crap..
If anyone anywhere could actually prove that glyphosates were harmful, the product wouldn’t be on the market and Monsanto would have already been sued into bankruptcy. Most anything has potential to be dangerous if improperly used. Using RoundUp according to label directions poses little risk, unless you’re a weed.
There’s a world of difference between a product on the market causing harm to a certain number of people with sufficient exposure to it and any one individual proving its specifically causing his or her harm for the sake of redress in court.
And don’t forget to stay away from the apples...

I haven't heard about this. Good news. Do you know if it was covered by her insurance? I had investigated the once-yearly injection but it isn't covered and costs over a thousand buckeroos. (Between the needle and the expense, that's just too much pain!)
