“In 2015, 2 billion tons of the pesticide Glyphosate, that’s Roundup, was dumped on Planet Earth.”
Pesticides & Their Health Dangers
Pesticides are any toxic substances that are used to purposely kill or shorten the life cycle of certain living things that we deem nuisances or pests.
My energy and mental alertness is 100% better!
“I have had head and neck discomfort that aspirin would not take care of. My metal count in my blood was extremely high. After the third chelation treatment my head and neck pain went away. I have now finished my treatments and my energy and my mental alertness is 100% better. I am 60 years young and now feel better than I did when I was 40. Amazing!” -R.A.
