Bad kidneys?

rlp in Co. · Apr 11, 2012

It seems like a lot of people are dieing from their kidneys failing. Could part of the problem be Roundup?
Drinking booze all your life can cause this problem too.

a lot of fumes end up almost direct at the kidneys.... I'll really noticed it with fly spray, some weed killer, and welding on galvanize.......

You MIGHT wanna start by using information from a site that's know for accuracy in reporting and MOT one that routinely has a predetermined conclusion preceded by inaccurate/false/misleading data.

Much of what they print is deliberate "disinformation" designed to create sensation amongst their lemming...er....readers. Much of what they claim has no basis in real science.

Not that Monsanto is much different.

Read independent studies conducted by Universities with no agenda, THEN make an educated decision.

I find it ironic that tobacco farmers are suing anyone for health issues.

Your report says roundup being found in ground water.

First time I have ever heard that roundup was in ground water.

That is one reason roundup is so well liked, it degrades quickly and doesn't make it to the ground water.

First of all I am not a big Monsanto fan. The article gives no evidence of any analytical testing done to substantiate claims. Secondly, generic words like kidney cells dying is misleading. Kidney cells die and regenerate every day.
The human body has several thousand biochemical reactions occuring every day. Unless more specificity is given, the author must be part of the tin foil hat crowd.

Thurlow, darned if you aren't right. Air may help kill you too, anyone who breathes the stuff seems to die.

Hmmmmmmmm? I started using Roundup in about 1977 or 1978. We started spot treating johnson grass and milkweed with it in the creek bottoms. I practically lived with a sprayer of Roundup. In 1982, I was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome. Treated with lots of steroids, ets. Ended up in "remission" in 1984. Kidneys failed 100% in 1990. Kidney transplant in 1991. Still going, (knock on wood)

A transplant does not "cure" the problem. I still have no working kidneys of my own. Lots of side effects of the 14 medicines I live on each day.

A few Scientists [carefully chosen] also said smoking wasn't a health hazard, if I recall correctly.

I never read the article but the proof is in the pudding....

Have some super concentrated weed killer (not roundup), some super concentrated fly spray for the horses, and have been ignant enough to weld on galvanized metal in semiclosed places. Every time I breathed the stuff, I felt like hell for a couple to several days and when I whizzed, it was darker than it had ever been when dehydrated and had an odor. When I started feeling better, the pee was clearing up......

Maybe that wasn't kidneys tho :roll:

Well that would seem to be the right answer but U's get funded to do research on their products and if you don't think that there is bias in the answer, then you missed out on understanding human nature (my thoughts). How much money has the tobacco industry funneled into higher education researches and come out lilly white?

I don't think you can get an unbiased answer to anything if coming from a human. Maybe from an engineer if he is taking his degree and oath seriously and above all else......but that is a tough call for him especially if he is throwing rocks at the one who paid him for an "honest" answer.

My 2c,
