Moms Across America is the brainchild of Zen Honeycutt, mother of 3 boys, one of whom had life-threatening allergies. That is until she found out about GMOs and helped her sons to avoid them. Her sons with allergies and autism symptoms got better when they avoided GMOs and pesticides by eating organic. Later her second son experienced a sudden onset of autism symptoms at 8 years old. He tested positive for fungus, gut dysbiosis, and 8 x higher the level of glyphosate in his urine than was found anywhere in European testing. Through an organic diet and restoring the gut bacteria, he is completely recovered. Passionate about caring for her family, and inspired by Robyn O'Brien's Ted Talk "Patriotism on a Plate" and Jeffrey Smith's "Tipping Point Network" concept, Zen created a forum for Moms to reach out & encourage one another. The power of one. It starts a movement. And now look at us, marching in solidarity from Sea to Shining Sea in 172 parades in 2013 in 44 states! And 1000 events since then!

What we eat influences our mental and physical health. Here’s an article about autism and how it may be linked to glyphosate (an Herbicide sprayed copiously on our food). Mom’s Across America also has a lot of information about this herbicide and how it affects our health. Moms Across America is committed to getting glyphosate (as well as other poisons in our environment) banned. https://www.autismparentingmagazine.com/weed-killer-glyphosate-harming-your-health
Okay, so I’m not a Mom. Nope, I had a complete hysterectomy in my twenties for end stage endometriosis. (There’s plenty of evidence that toxic chemicals may have a hand in the development of endometriosis, but enough about that.)
I’ve always been interested in the relationship between what we eat and our mental and physical wellbeing ever since I read Adele Davis’ books in high school.
In my fifties I started to realize that health care in this country wasn’t really healthy. The emphasis wasn’t on wellness. Our healthcare system is based on waiting until you develop disease before you treat it not on prevention of disease. It is based on treating the symptoms of an illness to help give relief of those symptoms but not necessarily looking for and treating the causes of the illness. At that time I joined a healthcare group that was trying to make changes to our healthcare system. Sadly I learned that they weren’t about advocating for wellness. They were about creating a single payer healthcare system. Well okay I was for that too. Healthcare should be for those people who need it and not just for those who can afford it. The group dissolved when Obamacare came into being.
I still follow groups advocating for single payer healthcare, but now I’ve been advocating for wellness again. What good is having a system in place that covers the cost of your healthcare yet doesn’t have wellness as its main goal. You’re just throwing good money after bad. The system will go broke. The good thing about wellness is that you don’t have to wait for government approval like single payer healthcare. You can start getting well right now. It’s good to see the growing interest in functional medicine. Functional medicine doctors are often doctors who had been frustrated with conventional medicine and found their patients did better by switching to treatments that center on whole body wellness.
So who could I bring my message to about the importance of healthy eating, cleaning up our toxic environment and getting rid of toxins in our food. The average person has 700 toxins in their body. A newborn baby is said to have 200 to 250 toxins in their body. Why, why why? Many of these chemicals didn’t even exist one hundred years ago. I’ve written letters to my governor, senators and congress people. As I was writing one letter I thought about an old saying: Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. I changed it to : Hell hath no fury like a mother whose children are being poisoned. Yes, Mothers! So where are these mothers? A congress person might be swayed by corporate money, but not an angry mother who loves her child.
So here I am.
