• Rachel has visited GMO cultivation regions experiencing devastating effects on health and economy in South America and India.
• Her youth-powered initiative for educating citizens has become the most successful initiative in North America, reaching millions through tv debates, speeches, social media and tv news.
• Public pressure has forced the Minister of Health and government scientists to meet with Rachel and receive a global set of scientific studies and reports about the epidemic rise of birth defects and other illnesses that have led to bans of Monsanto’s Roundup Ready and glyphosate in several countries.
• She has become the face for GMO-labelling in North America.
• Her top notch knowledge based on publication and exchange with the best known and respected independent scientific experts around the globe, combined with her young age, pure motives and skills of expression make her untouchable by paid trolls and bullies.
• She is practically booked out for three to six months in advance.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

• Rachel’s evident request that foods with genetically modified ingredients – which is common sense in 70 countries in the world, including entire Europe – faces harsh opposition, ridicule, bullying
• like the ones addressing the cause of Canada’s famous child rights activist Craig Kielburger – bonded and slave child labour – are attacked in India and Pakistan
• every country has its horrors backed by incredible ignorance by its citizens and special interest groups in industry, policis and media
• Rachel is taking on a huge can of worms
• that is releant ALSO for Europe, where citizens are yet unaware of glyphosate on 70% of foods and scandalous(!) pro-industry behavior by german and EU regulation agencies; her Action Kit enables kids every to demand their right and bring about policy- and industry changes

THE HEALTH CRISIS IN NORTH AMERICA

• In North America, 1 in 2 children suffer from a chronic disease – like diabetes, asthma, leaky gut, cancer, autism and life threatening allergies. Kids die from eating a peanut. 1 in 2 means 15 in a class of 30. In Europe, the ratio is about 1 or 2 in a class of 30. Numbers have been rising in North America since the unbridled introduction of GMO agriculture.
• All these grave illnesses are linked to weak immune systems. And weak immune systems are linked to a weakened microbiota (gut bacteria), which are affected by the active ingredients in herbicides / pesticides used especially heavy with GMOs – such as glyphosate.

• A microbiota is “the ecological community of commensal, symbiotic and pathogenic microorganisms that literally share our body space”.^[1][2] Joshua Lederberg coined the term, emphasising the importance of microorganisms inhabiting the human body in health and disease.
• Research into the role that microbiota in the gut might play in the human immune system started in the late 1990s.^[9] The microbiome of the gut has been characterised as a “forgotten organ”,^[10] and the possibility has been raised that “the mammalian immune system, which seems to be designed to control microorganisms, is in fact controlled by microorganisms”.^[11]
• The human microbiome may have a role in auto-immune diseases like diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis,muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, and perhaps some cancers.^[12]
• A poor mix of microbes in the gut may also aggravate common obesity.^[13][14][15]
• Since some of the microbes in the human body can modify the regulation of someneurotransmitters, it may be possible to use certain microorganisms to supplement treatments for depression, bipolar disorder and other stress-related psychiatric disorders.^[16]
