The most important and underappreciated paper I've read
How did this one escape the Big Pharma firewall?
Roundup has been taking a beating lately, and I couldn’t be happier. There are few things more detestable in our society than Glyphosate.
Sure, it helps the farmers grow crops. Sure, it’s sold as a benign chemical. We all know that’s bull crap.
And don’t worry, I’ll get into what this has to do with vaccines.
Glyphosate
Glyphosate is a herbicide used to kill plants. They spray it on anything and everything they want dead. Ever wonder how they keep the sidewalks so clean of grass? Glyphosate.
Farmers use it a few different ways from my understanding. They spray the crops before harvesting to cause a “dry down,” meaning they kill the plant to make it easier to harvest.
Alternatively, they plant genetically modified plants that aren’t affected by glyphosate. Then they can spray as they wish. This is particularly common in corn, soy, and cotton.
The problem with glyphosate
First, let’s talk about accumulation. When you spray a plant with Roundup, it absorbs it. Obviously. The plant holds the chemical, and you consume it when you eat it.
I know farmers are supposed to avoid high levels of Roundup in their vegetables. But if you think these gigantic factory farms are being careful about that, you need to learn a thing or two about how large corporations work. They aren’t. They are maximizing output.
With that in mind, glyphosate goes everywhere. In theory, it binds to the soil and stays there. But in reality, there are things like runoff, erosion, poor spraying technique, and other factors that cause it to get into the water. Once it’s in the water it’s everywhere.
That includes your meat.
What about vaccines?
Now it’s time for the most underappreciated paper I have ever read on the topic of glyphosate and vaccines.
I’m going to do my best to summarize:
Glyphosate acts as a “non-coding” amino acid analog in place of glycine - meaning, it displaces glycine within the cell but doesn’t perform any of the same functions as glycine
This creates a defective protein which is resistant to protein breakdown (proteolysis)
The body recognizes there is something wrong and forms an immune reaction against this malformed protein - molecular mimicry
This is one potential pathway for autoimmune disease
With that in mind, let's think about some of the common autoimmune diseases. Diabetes (type 1), rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, and possibly even autism.
When you are constantly exposed to glyphosate you increase the chance of this occurring. Are you familiar with high-fructose corn syrup? Know what it’s made of? Corn. Which crop did I say had high rates of glyphosate use because it’s glyphosate-resistant? Corn. Know what HFCS is in? Everything.
But it’s worse than that. As they discuss in this article, there is evidence of glyphosate in multiple vaccines. In particular, the MMR vaccine.
It makes sense. The farmer sprays the crops, feeds the cows, and cows absorb glyphosate. They state:
Most disturbing is the presence of glyphosate in many popular vaccines including the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine, which we have verified here for the first time. Contamination may come through bovine protein, bovine calf serum, bovine casein, egg protein and/or gelatin. Gelatin sourced from the skin and bones of pigs and cattle given glyphosate-contaminated feed contains the herbicide.
Many of these products they list are added to vaccines for one reason or another and then injected into your kids twice before the age of 2.
Is it any wonder the rates of autoimmune disease are skyrocketing?
What can you do?
There are a few obvious steps you can take.
First, avoid consuming Roundup. Buy your food from small farmers who don’t use Roundup or companies that don’t.
Second, avoid these vaccines. Especially in younger years when the effects are likely to be more profound. (This is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor.)
Third, glycine maxxing.
I have talked about glycine before. Multiple times. Such as this article:
It’s a fantastic supplement. It’s a vital supplement. The body needs glycine to work effectively, despite being labeled a “nonessential amino acid.” This simply means the body can, in theory, make enough of it without the need to consume it.
Well, that’s bull crap.
One of the wonderful benefits of consuming glycine is if you have enough floating around the cells it doesn’t allow glyphosate to displace it. It is protective in this way, as it prevents misfolding and protein malfunction.
What can you do?
Consume glycine. There are 2 great ways to do this:
Supplement
I truly believe glycine is one of the best supplements out there. It has become my favorite sleep-aid by far. You can also take it during the day. They’ve done studies supplementing up to 90 grams of glycine per day - that’s extreme. Most people take 3-5 grams daily, with 3 grams being at night.
Know what supplement has exactly that amount of glycine in it? PreSleep. About 6 months ago I was looking into creating a sleep supplement. It was going to contain:
Magnesium
Glycine
L-theanine
Then I found PreSleep. Why reinvent the wheel? This is good stuff. It works very well and tastes fantastic, which is hard to accomplish using glycine.
In fact, they are so dedicated to quality that they were willing to forgo hundreds of sales to deliver a superior product. BowtiedVampDeer (the creator) received this huge delivery in February. The manufacturer screwed it up, and it tasted like crap. So he scrapped it.
Support a company that actually cares about their product, and their customer.

Collagen
Collagen is packed with glycine. You can get collagen by consuming bone broth, organ meats, chicken fat, and others. Or you can supplement collagen. It’s also very good for your joints, and one of the few supplements I take daily.
Here’s a decent brand and a decent price:
If you learned a thing or two from this article, please share it. There’s a good chance you know someone who needs this information.
Any dosage suggestions or other considerations for children to take PreSleep?
