Re: Round Up

It should be pointed out that Dr. Mercola is also against vaccines, sun

screen, microwave ovens, most prescription drugs and believes that HIV does

not cause AIDS. He has received numerous warnings from the FDA regarding his

claims. I am not terribly confident with his views on glyphosate.

Subject: [GWL] Round Up

For those concerned about the health implications of Round Up (and those who

are not…), here's a very clearly written article on the subject:

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2014/04/01/roundup-toxicity-male-infertility.aspx?e_cid=20140401Z1_DNL_art_2&utm_source=dnl&utm_medium=email&utm_content=art2&utm_campaign=20140401Z1&et_cid=DM43202&et_rid=470100533

A lawyer friend of ours here in Virginia is convinced that Round Up and

Glyphosate/adjuvants is a liability suit waiting to happen as more and more

evidence amasses regarding the health hazards it presents to both man and

beast.

As he put it in a legal warning letter to Southside Electric Company that

uses Round Up to clear the ground under power lines, "I believe Southside is

setting itself up for a lawsuit from affected persons suing under legal

liability theory based on glyphosate poisoning. The drift of law will catch

up with science eventually and Southside should not be anywhere near the

cross hairs when the lawsuits. Just because APCO (Appalachian Power

Company) is doing it is no protection to SSE (Southside Electric) when that

situation unfolds. ...Please forward this to your legal counsel. As you

will note from a reproduced email below, I am not singling out SSE for

special attention. The glyphosate problem is being discussed with Dept. of

Forestry and the Secretary of Agriculture. I request that you acknowledge

receipt of this email. John Lane"

Momentum is building against this dangerous substance.
