Scientific Research & Clinical Publications

There's much to see here. So, take your time, look around, and learn all there is to know about the clinical & environmental risks of synthetic pesticides use. Our website is new and still under development. As we work towards updating the website, we will continue to add more research to this section.

Section 1: Clinical Health Risks of Glufosinate-Ammonium

AVCA landscapers use glufosinate-ammonium almost daily in Aliso Viejo. AVCA states that it is "safe to all humans and animals." However, clinical data & medical records prove otherwise. The WHO classifies glufosinate as MORE toxic than glyphosate. Product names for this chemical include: Cheetah Pro, Lifeline Herbicide. The mechanism of both chemicals are the same: inhibiting glutamine production in plants & humans, wreaking havoc on human health and causing multi-organ failure

Section 2: Glufosinate-Ammonium (Glyphosate-Based Herbicide)

Scientific evidence that these two chemical herbicides are so similar that they are detected as the SAME chemical (glyphosate) in standard lab tests for toxins identification. Elevated glyphosate levels are detected in local residents as a result of exposure to the widely-used alternative, glufosinate-ammonium. It alters DNA and misincorporates glufosinate in place of glycine during protein synthesis.

Section 3: Pesticides Pose Direct Clinical Risks to Humans

It is widely known that pesticides (synonymous with herbicides) exposure can lead to severe clinical risks in children, infants, and even to unborn babies. We will work towards adding to this growing list of clinical publications that link pesticide use to pediatric cancer, diseases, and illnesses.
