Huge increases in health problems – risk factors include Vitamin D, Antibiotics, and Roundup
During the past 40 years there have been big increased in
Incidence of 34+ diseases - diseases associated with low vitamin D
Vitamin D deficiency
There are many studies showing the risk factors for antibiotics, roundup and low vitamin D
The risk factors vary from 1.5X to 15X – depends on the disease
Often it is the same disease: examples - autism, obesity, etc.
Roundup
Kills all plants (GMO = Genetically Modified Organism) which have not be designed to resist it (roundup-ready)
The weed which have evolved to resist it are sometimes called superweeds
These crops are both directly consumed as food and indirectly via farm animals.
There have been a variety of country-wide bans on the use of roundup or GMO foods
China experienced 20 X increase in Parkinson's and 100X in Autism before banning GMO soy in 2013
- China then banned corn and soy from the US, Argentina, etc.
- Apparently Japan has not had the problem, and they have always banned GMO foods.
- Note: soy does not increase risk of Breast Cancer in Japan(no GMO), but soy does in the US (GMO)
Roundup is also now used just before harvest of some crops
The “inactive ingredients” in Roundup cause it to be 125X more toxic than glyphosate
Documentation of Roundup and birth defects goes back 30 years
Antibiotics
First used in the early 1950’s
particularly bad is the use of antibiotics before gut/brain communication is established (infant)
10X more tons of antibiotics are used to increase weight of farm animals
Antibiotics often substantially reduce the diversity of gut bacteria
Antibiotics were recently greatly increased in Australia
- Australia subsequently experience a huge increase in autism
Antibiotics have been proven to cause the creation of superbugs
To minimize the threat of superbugs Europe tried (2000?, unsuccessfully) to reduce use of antibiotics for feed animals.
Vitamin D
- Lack of vitamin D results in a poor immune system and great increase in many diseases

Prevention options for individuals
Reduce use of antibiotics – especially for infants
Eat organic foods
Increase vitamin D levels – supplementation/sunshine
Treatment options for individuals
Increase vitamin D levels – supplementation/sunshine
Probiotics and prebiotics may restore some of the gut biotics lost due to antibiotics
Promising future option: get gut bionome from a healthy person (fecal transplant)
- Example: fecal transplant from thin mice made obese mouse thin
Unaware of any Vitamin D study which also considered Antibiotics or Roundup
They could have, but failed to ask participants
How to tease it out?
Have there been big changes in antibiotics/Roundup in a country?
Has that country experienced a large change in incidence of any of the associated diseases?
Note: it appears that the change in incidence of Autism at age 2 would be the quickest indicator
In April 2014 I read an excellent book: Missing Microbes , which resulted in my making
Antibiotics and Vitamin D are associated with many of the same diseases
Average of 17 antibiotic treatments by age 20 in the US
The page has multiple extremely strong proofs linking increased obesity to increased antibiotics
