I have been shopping and eating organically and gmo free for 2 1/2 yrs. I have reversed my asthma and diabetes and lost 100 pounds. I educate my friends and family to eat the same way and to spread the word as much as possible.
And there is so much you can grow at home. Even a window box, even a shoe holder , you can fill the pockets with dirt and grow radishes, lettuce, carrots, we have GOT to take our lives back.
i got 3 little kids 3 6 and 8 years old, i have been eating walmart food non organic for past 10 years. only few months ago i am starting to make a change for myself and my kids. i am happy to be the one watching this mission video . i shared it to all my groups
Been doing it for almost 4 years now after getting diagnosed with thyroid nodules and researching our foods. Organic is not always more expensive and sometimes it might be 50 cents more. People will complain about a pound of Organic Chicken being say 5.99 a pound but those same people will go and buy a McDonalds meal for $6-7 that will last them less than a pound of chicken. Organic non-gmo chips will cost about the same per bag. Organic fruits cost more, but if you buy frozen organic fruits it is more expensive, but not as much as fresh, same for veggies. Trader Joes is a great place for organic produce. People your health is worth the extra cost.
Kroger's, Aldi's, Fresh Thyme, and Costco are great places to shop for healthier foods. Unfortunately, Costco requires a membership. I hope you have any of these stores close by.
Για ν' αλλάξεις τρόπο σκέψης πρέπει να αλλάξεις νοοτροπία. Για να αλλάξεις νοοτροπία πρέπει να αλλάξεις συνήθειες. Για ν' αλλάξεις συνήθειες θέλει θέληση, δύναμη και προσπάθεια. Γιατί ο χειρότερος εχθρός μας είναι ο εαυτός μας. Έτσι αλλάζεις πεπρωμένο. Γιατί αλλάζοντας συνήθειες και τρόπο σκέψης, αλλάζεις επιλογές. Και κατά το μεγαλύτερο μέρος μας είμαστε οι επιλογές μας.
Organic chicken and even free range is not the answer. They are still fed mostly corn. GMO, organic or not you need pasture raised chicken that eats bugs and grass to be healthy.
We've have been growing our our food for the most part for the past 3 years they taste better than store bought and we grow varieties that are not found in the supermarkets.
I have found that eating organically is cost effective for me because I also combine it with being in a state of ketosis. If I eat high carb/sugar (as I used to) I am on the hunger train but once into ketosis I am just not hungry and can focus on High nutrition per calorie and high quality organic food because I don't need to eat all day and night. Also once in ketosis it is so easy to do intermittent fasting and weight control is so simple. If I find at the end of a week I have put on a couple of Kg I simply reduce my "healthy" fat intake and/or increase my exercise and within days I am back to normal. Combining ALL these methods is AWSOME!!.
My kids have been into organic for a long time but I am just getting started. I was diagnosed with hashimotos 2 years ago. Doctors (internist & Endo) have done NOTHING to help me! I started researching on my own & learned diet is the big factor. I quit dairy, grains, soy, sugar, gluten & follow AIP diet. I buy mostly organic when I can and non GMO. I just watched your video on salt and oddly enough, I just bought Himalayan salt last week and threw out the regular salt!! I've lost 10 lbs. in 2 weeks, lots of energy! I can't believe the difference! I also quit my cholesterol and antidepressants, only taking vitamins. Looking forward to watching more of your videos!
GMOs should be ILLEGAL EVERYWHERE! Instead of having labels saying the food is "non GMO," for heaven's sake, don't have these poisons ANYWHERE! Good heavens, that is common sense. Human, plant, and animal lives are far more important than money. It's really true that "the love of money is the root of all evil."
Bought a $5.00 organic rosemary plant at whole food bought organic seeds planted a window herb garden. Fresh basil, parsley yum and cheap. Use ORGANIC SOIL. also, grew tomatoe plants from organic seeds in pots. Just started this year. Feel so good about it.
i stopped getting my period i got it maybe 3 times in two years. two months off gmo I've gotten my period both months. make the change your body will thank you.
Everything you are saying is absolutely true. We do not use any chemicals on our fields but we are surrounded by corporation farms that use TONS (semi loads) of Monsanto chemicals. Small farms hardly exist here anymore. Our opportunity to buy foods without GMOs is very limited. We do eat eggs from our own chickens, milk from our goats, and raise beef without antibiotics, hormones, or anything else. They are strictly grass fed. But, we are a small drop in a big bucket here in northwest Kansas. We are so glad you are getting this out there!!!
I do shop organic and non gmo. I lieve in a low income community but through Sbcs we have an RLA (Resident Leadership Academy) class where they thought us how to eat and how to buy. We watch videos like forks vs. knives, food inc. many videos that are a mind opener. Thanks to that class my son became vegetarian. And me I always make sure that my food says organic and verified non gmo.
Shop at Aldie's… They're organic stuff is cheaper… And they have more organic and healthier foods then a lot of stores. Or that has been my experience.
Started eating organic in January 2017 and stopped eating fast food and lost 30lbs. I feel like a different person. I am also drinking lots of bone broth, Stockton1 aloe, and using bentonite clay for detox. My body feels amazing and I am on my way to good health
jsteele650 I change my diet I'm looking to doing the same exact thing in detoxing my body from all the outside radicals and poisons in our environment.
O.M.G. Dr. Axe you have saved my life , so many things I was eating and thinking I was doing the right thing and not understanding why I was so sick all the time.
I think Trumps hands are tied, remember Bush, Clinton,Obama and the NWO. Remember Ross Perot how he wanted to save our country from NAFTA, the establishment stopped him. The next president will be no better at stopping GMO, GMO is part of the illuminati plan.
Georgia Andrea if you guys honestly believe this man will make the country great again, you are sadly mistaken. His hands are not tied, he's in it! Not a conspiracy nut, just someone who's eyes are not wide shut...he really has no interest in saving this place, he's Jewish. They own the world
At this point YOU have to fight the system if that's not clear to u yet and that means not paying with your $$ for gmo foods. Money is what talks in this system.
Not all farmers market is from local farmers. My daughter noticed boxes labeled from a very popular grocery store. So basically, a seller was allowed to um box produce and lay out on tabled and unsuspected shoppers assume they are buying from local farm.
Hi from UK. We don't have gm crops here but they could be in animal feeds and proceced foods and our government has not banned the use of roundup. I don't eat meat now and l am seriously thinking about buying organic veg. I threw some lemons away today after reading the label on the bag and looking up what they were sprayed with to keep them from going mouldy 😟 not good
Joe Al - no we don’t, gm crops are banned in the uk just like they are in the rest of the eu, if you have GM food you can’t sell it in British supermarkets
I was shocked to find out all of the major cereal companies were using GO's to produce their cereals, a food that is most likely fed to children. It is sad that you now have to pay extra money to eat poison free foods that were at one time normal. My eye is now looking and checking labels . I am also surprised at the amount of people who are not even aware of what is happening to our foods . I feel like we are being led into a trap where our food supplies are going to be controlled by corporations.
I shop organic and non GMO as much as my budget allows. I grow a lot of my own produce (heirloom) and make my own natural sprays. If you shop seasonally you can keep the cost down.
Can't thank you guys enough. Dr. Axe, you along with another Dr. here on RUclips are the main people that got me thinking, questioning, and researching since 2010. You guys literally had a part in saving my life. I could be in a wheel chair and in and out of the hospital or not even here right now. I am sadly still un-diagnosed and on a long road to get official answers, but I'm pretty sure that I may have Celiacs. I've gotten rid of so many problems, but the thing that seems to be left are these stupid GMO's and stuff like that. I just keep on feeling sick during this time I'm supposed to be healing from the damage done by wheat/corn. Haven't been able to keep up my weight due to my sudden "sickness" due to this. So I cut out meat for a while and then mostly eating chicken. I have such a small list of foods that only seem to be getting smaller and it's pretty terrifying. Sorry for the sappy story, lol. I just wanted to let you know that you really do a good job at what you do. We need all the advice we can get and will continue to look out for more information from this channel. May God keep you all honest.
when your growing your own food at home ,like tomatoes, is there a particular type of soil ingredients you should look for??? is Miracle Grow Organic a good choice?
I never take in GMOs in any form and never have ...to my knowledge. But medicine is now almost all gmo. I recently had an ear infection and went to doctor. Told doctor I can't take gmo and she laughed at me. She told me to call her if I have any adverse reactions. I had several reactions and called the following day. I spoke to her nurse, promised doctor would call. No call. Instead, called my health insurance company and said I was mentally incompetent.!!! I'm 67 and in perfect health. My blood work is better than most 40 year Olds. I still work and own a 4 bedroom house with a barn and over acre of land. I outlived my children and husband. I do it all alone. I'm fine. I had a ear infection. Now, health insurance wants to come to my home and evaluate my mental status. I need a physician in my area. I'm in Chattanooga area. Please help me find a decent doctor.
We have been buying all organic and non gmo. At ALDI and it has saved us so much money! We started on amending our soil last year and plan to start our organic garden this spring! Over the last two years it has really helped balance my hormones and cleared up my cystic acne!
Dr Axe the Butterfly label surprisingly allows SOY which I can't understand why since SOY is supposed to be off our list. Does Jeffery have any thoughts on this.
I shop organics and grow organic and non GMO. I sell at farmers markets and encourage organics and non GMO. For many people cheap food is their gold standard. Where I live a lot of the wild game, such as deer, eat a lot of GMO crops.
Buy your seeds from Australia. They have just started to get the GMO corn and cotton forced on them. Before that they were GMO free, less contamination.
I have had so many undiagnosed issues. My GI is afraid to expose me to gluten to test me for celiacs. I think it's GMO and pesticides that I have the issues with. I have PCOS/Endometriosis symptoms but tests come back negative for the medical diagnosis. Asthma went away when I went gluten free, along with 300 other symptoms. My favorite food is gluten so it is hard. Trying to get more knowledgeable for my family's health.
What about tofu?? We eat that instead of meat now and then, but we will stop eating it if it's GMO. (And I love cooking Asian stir fry with it). Thoughts?
I learned about GMOs a few years ago and look for the non GMO cert label on any soy. However, didn't realize it was so prevalent in all foods. Also it is so expensive to buy organic. It seems so overwhelming.
hi from Morocco.. I think the only option we have is to decrease GM foods by avoiding the most GM foods like what were mentioned. for the rest food maybe we should grow them no matter how expensive they are
I 've taken a few of your good health tips so far. I've used sea salt over table salt for almost a year though I have both ready for meals. The sea salt made me feel better. The look of sea salt is better as well. I'm paying attention to all the stuff.
Lol, the farmers market in Salem Oregon is ridiculously expensive. So is our local health foods store lifesource. Have to shop at Freddy's and keep my eye out for deals.
Yeah he is right about Costco. They have so much more organic than Sam's unfortunately. Costco is not convenient for us so we have to really go out of our way, but it's worth it. I use to drive by monsantan daily to go to work, always giving them the one finger salute.....
Hi Dr Axe, my mother had thyroid cancer and had to get her thyroid removed. Now she is on medication (basically to do what her thyroid couldn't do).But I know this constant use of medication is not healthy for her in the long term and she is already experiencing a lot of side effects. What do you suggest is a more natural way for her to heal? Or to manage her condition? Thank you!
Thanks for the info and links! I shared! Love organic been into organic for most of 50 years now starting in Boulder, Colorado. I worked for years in organic retail as well. So much people don't know including myself because I had NO IDEA our food supply was inundated with GMOs without the public being informed. The most egregious thing that could happen to us as a nation!
My tip for saving money while buying organic is to buy the organic house brand of the product, for example Whole Foods and Trader Joe's organic brands.
Unfortunately I don’t see then being banned. That would pretty much mean politicians were admitting they were wrong. They just are not willing to do that.
I'm on board for the organic foods unfortunately where I live in Pennsylvania Scranton to the exact there isn't much variety of it. and it's very hard to convince the people that live here family friends to eat organic. I stand alone in my group. I'm all for organic. and down with Monsanto Chemical Company get rid of them let's get rid of them
I don't drive and I need to be eating a keto diet, to improve my health. I know Aldis is inexpensive, but they always seem to have organic food. What do you guy's think? I think this video is amazing! I wasn't on the interest until 2015, except for Facebook. I've never been on a computer, still to this day. I first heard about GMO'S, from Alex Jones. I try my hardest to buy everything organic, that the store has. I took a flu shot in November, 2010 and within 3 day's my breathing was so bad, that I couldn't walk from my bedroom to the bathroom. I had to make 2 stops, in the living room, for 5 minutes each stop. Our government is purposely trying to make us sick and kill us. They are using slow kill methods to kill us. GMO'S are just one way of making us sick. We need to stop buying them.
Here in Europe, EU allowed seed companies to use the same technology as GMO seeds, when making organic seeds. The seeds are called CMS-hybrid. When you buy organic produce in Europe, there is a chance it’s CMS. I’m wondering if they are doing the same thing in America? Most people don’t know about it.
I don't eat corn due to fear of eating GMO. I actually grow a lot of my herbs(rosemary,dill,sage,oregano,thyme,tarragon,basil), medicinal herbs(chamomile,rue), mints(sweet mint, lemon balm, bee balm, orange mint), fruit trees(lemon, papaya, guava, apple), fruit(strawberries, blueberries, tomatoes), veggies(carrots, garlic,chayote). I don't have much room in my plot it's small but I make most of it by growing vertically, pot, and plant planning. I added a drip system that saves on water. Have my own little worm bin for worm compost, and welcome good bugs in my garden,no pesticides, I added a lot of non chemical fertilizers. If I fail on growing something I can always try next season and do research on how to change things.
Unfortunately, not all farmers markets are cheaper than the grocery stores. Many farmers base their prices on what is being charged for the same produce at the big food store next door. Not worth the extra stop for $.05 off my peppers, even feeding a household of 6+. It's all about lining their pockets more than it is about providing more people access to less expensive, healthier foods. This is especially true for those growers who do not have the additional cost of non-GMO or organic certifications. While I agree with free market capitalism, it's still unfortunate that many of these small farmers aim more for bigger profits for the same time and material investment as conventional farmers rather than concentrating on supporting healthy eating habits in their communities. (Why exactly did they go into farming in the first place?) And to see the waste that ends up in the compost heaps at these farms is disgusting! Not even local food banks (due to regulations) are allowed to receive these "fresh" foods. I am, however, very thankful that we DO have the option to buy local.... so far.
I eat shoprite onions and carrots (raw vegetables) regularly. I sure would like to know if they have been sprayed with round up. There is no labeling- no indication one way or the other. I desperately want to avoid roundup, because I've developed a digestive disease from eating unlabeled, commercial corn chips. If any one knows wether carrots and onions are roundup ready, I'd sure like to know. Thanks
I'm a 💯% vegan for the past 10 months have only been buying organic and non GMO Foods, it's very expensive but cheaper than the doctors visit!! since I became vegan I have not gotten a cold, before that I used to get every cold that pass by because I deal with little kids!! however when I go to the vegan restaurant almost everything is made out of soy!! I heard you Dr Axe said many many times to stay away from soy!! I used to be cheese bacon and chicken wings abuser!! I found a vegan restaurant that serves ham and grilled cheese sandwiches and the ham is made out of soy of course and I love it!! LoL so I trust that the soy is non-GMO... is there anything as non-GMO soy Dr Axe?
Yes eating organic & GMO free is important and can a major factor in infertility. Currently I buy all my plant based foods (fruits & veggies) organic, dairy organic however it has been difficult to find grass feed meat so I only focus on wild caught fish. There is not an abundance of farmer markets in NYC.
I bought organic for 30 years, shopping at farmers markets that were home grown. Plus, grow our own. Meats were the most difficult. Not easy, but I've been on the soap box for years. Like the journal, thanks. Also, get rid of Microwaves! so many people are dying of cancer, do they drink cokes? dah... Need NON GMO
Awesome Educational Video! After watching on Netflix "What the health" , "Cow" & "Food,Inc".... I am aware of all the harm the entire Agriculture Industry using GMO seeds, Monsanto is the culprit, the greedy company who is damaging our soil in the farms, genetically modified seeds to be pesticide proof, so crops won't die, farmers still spray pestide for crop insects making that a double dosage of poision. So what happens? All this corn goes both ways animal feed consumption/ human food consumption. The farms win by getting their cows, pigs, chickens, farm raised fish like Tilapia, catfish etc to all Americans. Just like Dr. Jeff stated, this pesticide makes holes into these crop critters and also makes tiny holes in our bodies when consumed. Excema- Leaky Gut- Auto immune diseases- heart, lung health issues. All caused by GMO. Dear Humans, Stay away from this horrible food, the industry always makes food commercials seem fun, happy, delicious but truth to the matter is people are getting seriously sick.
I have been shopping and eating organically and gmo free for 2 1/2 yrs. I have reversed my asthma and diabetes and lost 100 pounds. I educate my friends and family to eat the same way and to spread the word as much as possible.
Leanne Leroux 🎯great job!!!
Yeah, because that's possible..
Where do you buy your organic food Leanne Leroux
Leanne where do u buy your foods
You can either pay the expensive price for organic food at the grocery store or the Doctor that will prescribe 600 dollar medication
isn't your health worth the Organic?
Popeye Gordon ]
Michael Kakos totally agree..
And there is so much you can grow at home. Even a window box, even a shoe holder , you can fill the pockets with dirt and grow radishes, lettuce, carrots, we have GOT to take our lives back.
600? more like $6000+ a month. source? my dead grandfather.🍻
i got 3 little kids 3 6 and 8 years old,
i have been eating walmart food non organic for past 10 years.
only few months ago i am starting to make a change for myself and my kids.
i am happy to be the one watching this mission video . i shared it to all my groups

shewebayer ... yesssssssssssss
Organic chicken and even free range is not the answer. They are still fed mostly corn. GMO, organic or not you need pasture raised chicken that eats bugs and grass to be healthy.
Is it really? most people will do their 80 years of life and die, even these vegans from the East.
I have shopped for organic since 12 yrs old, raised in Mill Valley CA, my motto on organic, “ it’s cheaper then chemo” 👍🏼😊
Love Mill Valley! From Marin myself- much love fellow Marin~ite!
most organic food in the usa is gmo poison with a splash of microplastics. 🍻
We've have been growing our our food for the most part for the past 3 years they taste better than store bought and we grow varieties that are not found in the supermarkets.

Let's start a petition to the internet on the White House site,and tell everyone to sign it,to stop GMO food!!
This is one area where other countries
are way AHEAD. Don't worry on 🚀Race. Concentrate on Health Race🏃
👍🏻

its money that's the root of most evil period!!
GMO has been illegal in some of European countries.
any proof that its poison?
Bought a $5.00 organic rosemary plant at whole food
bought organic seeds planted a window herb garden. Fresh basil, parsley yum and cheap. Use ORGANIC SOIL. also, grew tomatoe plants from organic seeds in pots. Just started this year. Feel so good about it.
i stopped getting my period i got it maybe 3 times in two years. two months off gmo I've gotten my period both months. make the change your body will thank you.
Yes Costco has a wonderful selection of Organic and Labeled Non GMO Veggies

Very cool..congrats...same here and I switched to organic and no longer have high blood pressure.
jsteele650
where do u get your organic broth from ?
jsteele650 7
O.M.G. Dr. Axe you have saved my life , so many things I was eating and thinking I was doing the right thing and not understanding why I was so sick all the time.
I buy organic and non gmo.Lets all write our new President and ask him to change the way food is grown and poisoned.
lol write to trump? hahahahahaha. cute. next president maybe. if it is not kanye west
I think Trumps hands are tied, remember Bush, Clinton,Obama and the NWO. Remember Ross Perot how he wanted to save our country from NAFTA, the establishment stopped him. The next president will be no better at stopping GMO, GMO is part of the illuminati plan.
Abe Lincoln Well, he wanted to make your country great again, so he needs to find a way to untie his hands again. He is the president, right?
Georgia Andrea if you guys honestly believe this man will make the country great again, you are sadly mistaken. His hands are not tied, he's in it! Not a conspiracy nut, just someone who's eyes are not wide shut...he really has no interest in saving this place, he's Jewish. They own the world
At this point YOU have to fight the system if that's not clear to u yet and that means not paying with your $$ for gmo foods. Money is what talks in this system.
I'm glad that you are standing up and not worrying about the beast out there
As a former Whole Foods employee I know for certain they almost exclusively use canola oil in their prepared foods
May the LORD continue to bless you.
I shop organic and non-GMO. It's still pricey but to me it's worth it.
im Canadian.....but for americans no universal healthcare, so they can pay the farmer or the doctor/hospital
Not all farmers market is from local farmers. My daughter noticed boxes labeled from a very popular grocery store. So basically, a seller was allowed to um box produce and lay out on tabled and unsuspected shoppers assume they are buying from local farm.

Tiny Tree get KASHI
Cheerios are GMO free.
I shop organic and non GMO as much as my budget allows. I grow a lot of my own produce (heirloom) and make my own natural sprays. If you shop seasonally you can keep the cost down.
great work guys. send this on to all news channels see if any will work on it
Ed Haungs The news is all ran by the 1% richest who are all for GMO foods for more money, #americasgreed
Organic non GMO for about a year now since listening to shows like yours on utube.
I shop organic & started on pursuit/interest in general health. researching what is harmful/beneficial.
Can't thank you guys enough. Dr. Axe, you along with another Dr. here on RUclips are the main people that got me thinking, questioning, and researching since 2010.

I'm learning to look for the organic seal. We have a great group in the farmer's market here in central VA
when your growing your own food at home ,like tomatoes, is there a particular type of soil ingredients you should look for???
is Miracle Grow Organic a good choice?
Great information. Really loved hearing you guys mention chiropractic as I will be starting chiropractic school this Fall!

We have been buying all organic and non gmo. At ALDI and it has saved us so much money! We started on amending our soil last year and plan to start our organic garden this spring! Over the last two years it has really helped balance my hormones and cleared up my cystic acne!
This is my first time hearing this. I will share this and do the cleanses and new shipping habits. Thank you doctors. I am enlightened.
Dr Axe the Butterfly label surprisingly allows SOY which I can't understand why since SOY is supposed to be off our list. Does Jeffery have any thoughts on this.
I shop organics and grow organic and non GMO. I sell at farmers markets and encourage organics and non GMO. For many people cheap food is their gold standard. Where I live a lot of the wild game, such as deer, eat a lot of GMO crops.
How do you know if the seeds you are getting from the store are non gmo? Does it say on the package?
Bren S ...There are organic seeds. If it doesn't say it on the package it may be gmo...
Buy your seeds from Australia. They have just started to get the GMO corn and cotton forced on them. Before that they were GMO free, less contamination.
Why are there products even allowed to to be sold?
$$$
Depopulation. Sad truth. Also dollars.
Cause the elite want us to be diseased. Just part of they’re brainwashed propaganda
In addition to non GMO , it is hightime that a movement need to be initiated for non hybrids as well
I am a subscriber of a CSA program and they provide local and organic produce and meats. Sometimes I go to a local farmers market.
I have had so many undiagnosed issues. My GI is afraid to expose me to gluten to test me for celiacs. I think it's GMO and pesticides that I have the issues with. I have PCOS/Endometriosis symptoms but tests come back negative for the medical diagnosis. Asthma went away when I went gluten free, along with 300 other symptoms. My favorite food is gluten so it is hard. Trying to get more knowledgeable for my family's health.
Best to have both labels on your food!!
What about tofu?? We eat that instead of meat now and then, but we will stop eating it if it's GMO. (And I love cooking Asian stir fry with it). Thoughts?
oh my god I have to switch to organic thank's Dr.s

I learned about GMOs a few years ago and look for the non GMO cert label on any soy. However, didn't realize it was so prevalent in all foods. Also it is so expensive to buy organic. It seems so overwhelming.
I look for Both Labels however much is not labeled yet.
hi from Morocco.. I think the only option we have is to decrease GM foods by avoiding the most GM foods like what were mentioned. for the rest food maybe we should grow them no matter how expensive they are
I 've taken a few of your good health tips so far. I've used sea salt over table salt for almost a year though I have both ready for meals. The sea salt made me feel better. The look of sea salt is better as well. I'm paying attention to all the stuff.
Do we have a lists of Holistic doctors? Are they covered by insurance?
Lol, the farmers market in Salem Oregon is ridiculously expensive. So is our local health foods store lifesource. Have to shop at Freddy's and keep my eye out for deals.
I still shop both since there are not enough organic substitutes available and at the same price.
Is it necessary to buy organic, raw unprocessed coconut sugar, rather than plain organic coconut sugar?
About organic:
Ferengi rule of acquisition #239: Never be afraid to mislabel a product.
Yeah he is right about Costco. They have so much more organic than Sam's unfortunately. Costco is not convenient for us so we have to really go out of our way, but it's worth it. I use to drive by monsantan daily to go to work, always giving them the one finger salute.....
Hi Dr Axe, my mother had thyroid cancer and had to get her thyroid removed. Now she is on medication (basically to do what her thyroid couldn't do).But I know this constant use of medication is not healthy for her in the long term and she is already experiencing a lot of side effects. What do you suggest is a more natural way for her to heal? Or to manage her condition?
Thank you!
I love the passion and I am passionate too! I always try to buy organic and GMO whenever possible!
okay I'm going to check these things out in my lab
Thanks for the info and links! I shared! Love organic been into organic for most of 50 years now starting in Boulder, Colorado. I worked for years in organic retail as well. So much people don't know including myself because I had NO IDEA our food supply was inundated with GMOs without the public being informed. The most egregious thing that could happen to us as a nation!
I try to use only organic but its quite hard some times. I liked and shared
My tip for saving money while buying organic is to buy the organic house brand of the product, for example Whole Foods and Trader Joe's organic brands.
We buy organic. Thank you for telling us about the other symbol for non- gmo.
Can you trust those that place label non-gmo but it's not verified?
GMO apples.
apple.news/AuZD3rhL9S9S35icWBW6AZg
I would think so as it takes time and money to actually have a product verified. I would think if companies lie about it they could face a lawsuit.
Unfortunately I don’t see then being banned. That would pretty much mean politicians were admitting they were wrong. They just are not willing to do that.
Like....I have questions: are apples gmo, pears? Papaya? Plums? What foods are gmo?
I'm on board for the organic foods unfortunately where I live in Pennsylvania Scranton to the exact there isn't much variety of it. and it's very hard to convince the people that live here family friends to eat organic. I stand alone in my group. I'm all for organic. and down with Monsanto Chemical Company get rid of them let's get rid of them
Do you have a video about dandruff?
Where can we find brands that honor growing & raising truly organic,gmo free products
I don't drive and I need to be eating a keto diet, to improve my health. I know Aldis is inexpensive, but they always seem to have organic food. What do you guy's think? I think this video is amazing! I wasn't on the interest until 2015, except for Facebook. I've never been on a computer, still to this day. I first heard about GMO'S, from Alex Jones. I try my hardest to buy everything organic, that the store has. I took a flu shot in November, 2010 and within 3 day's my breathing was so bad, that I couldn't walk from my bedroom to the bathroom. I had to make 2 stops, in the living room, for 5 minutes each stop. Our government is purposely trying to make us sick and kill us. They are using slow kill methods to kill us. GMO'S are just one way of making us sick. We need to stop buying them.
I buy as much non gmo as possible.
I buy as much gmo as possible.
Yes I try to shop organic or GMO free or both
Here in Europe, EU allowed seed companies to use the same technology as GMO seeds, when making organic seeds. The seeds are called CMS-hybrid. When you buy organic produce in Europe, there is a chance it’s CMS.
I’m wondering if they are doing the same thing in America?
Most people don’t know about it.
Thank you for your hard work and please keep it up!
I bought "Potandon Produce" USDA ORGANIC potatoes and cut one in half and hours later, it still didn't turn brown. Does that mean it is GMO?
Import food tends to be better but countries are catching up with local food like Thailand and China.
I don't eat corn due to fear of eating GMO. I actually grow a lot of my herbs(rosemary,dill,sage,oregano,thyme,tarragon,basil), medicinal herbs(chamomile,rue), mints(sweet mint, lemon balm, bee balm, orange mint), fruit trees(lemon, papaya, guava, apple), fruit(strawberries, blueberries, tomatoes), veggies(carrots, garlic,chayote). I don't have much room in my plot it's small but I make most of it by growing vertically, pot, and plant planning. I added a drip system that saves on water. Have my own little worm bin for worm compost, and welcome good bugs in my garden,no pesticides, I added a lot of non chemical fertilizers. If I fail on growing something I can always try next season and do research on how to change things.

Genius! Cant you share how do u do it?
I shop organic but I will be looking for non GMO ...however I have heard only Iceland in the UK follow non GMO... I'm going to check 😊 thanks Dr Axe
Is there such thing as organic carrots?
Unfortunately, not all farmers markets are cheaper than the grocery stores. Many farmers base their prices on what is being charged for the same produce at the big food store next door. Not worth the extra stop for $.05 off my peppers, even feeding a household of 6+. It's all about lining their pockets more than it is about providing more people access to less expensive, healthier foods. This is especially true for those growers who do not have the additional cost of non-GMO or organic certifications. While I agree with free market capitalism, it's still unfortunate that many of these small farmers aim more for bigger profits for the same time and material investment as conventional farmers rather than concentrating on supporting healthy eating habits in their communities. (Why exactly did they go into farming in the first place?) And to see the waste that ends up in the compost heaps at these farms is disgusting! Not even local food banks (due to regulations) are allowed to receive these "fresh" foods. I am, however, very thankful that we DO have the option to buy local.... so far.
Where do I get information on stopping the use of GMO's ?
very good indeed
I eat shoprite onions and carrots (raw vegetables) regularly. I sure would like to know if they have been sprayed with round up. There is no labeling- no indication one way or the other. I desperately want to avoid roundup, because I've developed a digestive disease from eating unlabeled, commercial corn chips. If any one knows wether carrots and onions are roundup ready, I'd sure like to know. Thanks
Liberty Link is the new Monsanto and we need to inform the consumer of this!
I'm a 💯% vegan for the past 10 months have only been buying organic and non GMO Foods, it's very expensive but cheaper than the doctors visit!! since I became vegan I have not gotten a cold, before that I used to get every cold that pass by because I deal with little kids!! however when I go to the vegan restaurant almost everything is made out of soy!! I heard you Dr Axe said many many times to stay away from soy!! I used to be cheese bacon and chicken wings abuser!! I found a vegan restaurant that serves ham and grilled cheese sandwiches and the ham is made out of soy of course and I love it!! LoL so I trust that the soy is non-GMO... is there anything as non-GMO soy Dr Axe?
+Joe Al OK thank you, blessings.
Amazing video. Thank you
Yes eating organic & GMO free is important and can a major factor in infertility. Currently I buy all my plant based foods (fruits & veggies) organic, dairy organic however it has been difficult to find grass feed meat so I only focus on wild caught fish. There is not an abundance of farmer markets in NYC.
We try to buy organic as much as we can.
i still cant believe Whole Foods sells canola oil and its even in their 365 products !! 🙁
what are all names of the poisons that roundup is in??
Organic Garden !! What about the seeds !? Aren't they GMO too !? Where to find non GMO seeds ? I really need an answer !
Excellent! Shared with everyone I know!
Where can I get those DVD files?
How is organic defined ?
What about GMO fed versus organic fed life stocks for food ?
I bought organic for 30 years, shopping at farmers markets that were home grown. Plus, grow our own. Meats were the most difficult. Not easy, but I've been on the soap box for years. Like the journal, thanks. Also, get rid of Microwaves! so many people are dying of cancer, do they drink cokes? dah... Need NON GMO
Awesome Educational Video! After watching on Netflix "What the health" , "Cow" & "Food,Inc".... I am aware of all the harm the entire Agriculture Industry using GMO seeds, Monsanto is the culprit, the greedy company who is damaging our soil in the farms, genetically modified seeds to be pesticide proof, so crops won't die, farmers still spray pestide for crop insects making that a double dosage of poision. So what happens? All this corn goes both ways animal feed consumption/ human food consumption. The farms win by getting their cows, pigs, chickens, farm raised fish like Tilapia, catfish etc to all Americans. Just like Dr. Jeff stated, this pesticide makes holes into these crop critters and also makes tiny holes in our bodies when consumed.
Excema- Leaky Gut- Auto immune diseases- heart, lung health issues. All caused by GMO.
Dear Humans, Stay away from this horrible food, the industry always makes food commercials seem fun, happy, delicious but truth to the matter is people are getting seriously sick.
Always give thanks & bless your food🙏
Thanks for this mind-numbing information. I don’t want any gmo in my food or body, again i say, thank you!!
