How Glyphosate Can Cause Cancer in Your Pets (And What to Do About It)

August 7, 2020 by Dr. Dee Blanco

I wrote about the insidious and widespread use of glyphosate in my blog titled What Pet Parents Really Need to Know About Glyphosate. In this article, I wanted to focus on the health hazards related to glyphosate and what that could mean for you and your animals.

The World Health Organization (WHO) classified glyphosate as a “probable carcinogen” in 2015. The presence of glyphosate was seen as a possible link to conditions including, but, not limited to non-Hodgkin lymphoma, pancreatic islet-cell adenoma, renal cell carcinoma, and skin cancer. The cumulative exposure to glyphosate over the course of our lifetimes from our environment, food and water reveals just the tip of the proverbial “iceberg” where cancer is concerned.

You’ve probably heard of the term glyphosate before, but, do you know how this toxic substance impacts the well-being of not only your animals, but, of your entire family and the planet?

Glyphosate is, by far, the most widely used herbicide in the world.

Pronounced “gly-pho-sate,” this chemical is the predominant ingredient in the widely available Roundup.

Glyphosate can be found in more than 700 agriculture, forestry and home products. It was created and patented in the 70’s by Monsanto. By 2005, its use had increased by more than 1500 percent.

The news of COVID-19 was both devastating and motivating. As a holistic doctor of veterinary medicine and a naturopathic clinician, I have frequently questioned the status quo of what I call “commercial medicine.” The history you’ll learn in this blog is part of what helped me find my path towards what is true for me, professionally and personally.

I started a webinar series to help myself understand scientifically and medically what could be happening with this “syndrome” called COVID-19. I also wanted to broaden the conversation around what we’re experiencing. What I see is the mainstream “fear media” does not portray the full picture, but, rather, it does promulgate fear and tension.

Here’s one installment of what we discussed during the webinar series:

Thinking Required: Dr. Dee’s Rebuttal to Anti-Anti-Vaxxers

July 30, 2019 by Dr. Dee Blanco 2 Comments

The article in Veterinary Practice News entitled “IS FEAR DRIVING THE ANTI-VACCINATION MOVEMENT?” by Dr. Brennen McKenzie is nothing original.

It’s one more fear-filled repetition of the same-old, same-old: ignorant pet owners and their delusional vets aren’t toeing the vaccination party-line. Drinking that Kool-aid is just what vet school taught us to do – and what a huge pitcher that is! But making endless pejorative comments about alternative medicine vets is forgetting that we’ve all had the same training. Some of us just elected not to become another mouthpiece for Big Pharma.

How do I treat my pet for flea and ticks the natural way?

It’s the most itchiest time of year!

Have you ever wondered why there are more nasty bugs around in summertime and how you can get rid of fleas and ticks naturally?

If you want this to be fast, let me be real with you now – there is no fast natural solution; however, natural care for pests is not toxic like the topical ointments. You have to make your choice here, draw your line in the sand, and show the fleas you mean business!
