Protocol Overview

Steps to lower exposure to glyphosate and other pesticides, mainly through food choices, plus supportive nutrition. Eating organic lowers urine glyphosate levels within days; claims about how glyphosate harms the gut and how supplements remove it are hypotheses still under study.

Lowering glyphosate and pesticide exposureGut health support (theory)

Key Resources

Research by Stephanie Seneff (MIT), Toxic Legacy by Stephanie Seneff, Fagan et al., Environmental Research 2020 (organic diet and urine glyphosate)

Safety Profile

Contraindications & Risks
Binders and activated charcoal reduce medication absorption: separate by 2 or more hours
Pregnancy, breastfeeding or kidney disease: check supplements with your clinician
Main barrier is the cost of organic food
Important Notes

Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide and is found in most people tested. In a 2020 study, switching families to an organic diet for 6 days lowered urine glyphosate by about 70 percent. Glyphosate blocks the shikimate pathway in plants and some gut bacteria. Stephanie Seneff proposes that it substitutes for glycine in proteins and harms the gut lining; these ideas are debated and not established in people. Some crops are sprayed just before harvest, which raises residues. Food choices are the foundation.

About Evidence Score

The Evidence Score (0 to 100) rates the strength of evidence from studies in people for the uses listed: higher means stronger, more consistent research. It does not measure safety. It is not medical advice.

For education, not medical advice. Talk with a licensed clinician before you start, and never stop or change a prescribed medication without your prescriber.
