A few years ago I featured a post about the health risks of glyphosate in our food, and since then it’s only become more of a problem. If you take the time to listen to this interview by Dr. Zach Bush on GMOs and glyphosate ( or another interview here), you’ll start to understand how pervasive they are in our food system and how numerous the health issues they cause can be. Truly scary and depressing at this point. That’s why I’m really grateful there are a few companies out there that actually test and verify that their products are GMO- and glyphosate-free.
The main place I’ve found for verified items is the Health Ranger Store, started by prominent health advocate Mike Adams, who built his own state-of-the-art testing lab after he found that so many “high quality” health products on the market were actually found to contain heavy metals, pesticides and other less than stellar ingredients. He opened his own on-line store as a way to make products that have been rigorously tested and verified available, and since then the store has continued to grow and add more great items to its inventory, plus offers a rewards program, as well as periodic discounts and specials.
If you’ve done any real research on where to be able to get really truly raw, unpasteurized, NON-IRRADIATED/-FUMIGATED almonds, you’ll know how hard they are to come by. Often Italy has been one of the few sources. Up until several years ago I never knew that almost all almonds labeled “raw” were still irradiated and fumigated! What?! So it’s great to know that Health Ranger almonds are the real deal!
Another thing I’m excited to see that the store has added to its inventory is lab-verified organic brown rice. I used to eat A LOT of brown rice, until I started reading about how rice is commonly contaminated with high amounts of arsenic….ESPECIALLY organic brown rice. That was a shocker to me!
Anyway, I’m happy to know there is now a source for it that not only tests for arsenic (contains nearly zero levels) and other heavy metals, but also tests for glyphosate (negligible traces). And the mini-bucket packaging is a great way to buy in bulk and store easily. What makes brown rice special is that it is less processed than white rice and retains its bran and germ, thus contains more dietary fiber and nutrients. Organic brown rice also contains protein, magnesium and selenium, has a nutty, chewy taste, and is one of the best sources of ready-to-use energy.

I’m also excited about many of the other innovative products and formulas that have been added to the store since it first opened, including the powdered organic coconut milk and coconut water, Organic Cocoa Mojo, and Organic Hemp Juvenate protein powder with chia, chlorella, monk fruit, functional mushrooms and, of course, hemp. 
And check out the Chinese-cupping set that I featured in a post several years ago. Cupping is a wonderful healing technique to be able to do on yourself, as well as loved ones and clients!
p. s. There’s another place I’ve found that offers great, high quality products that are tested and verified as heavy metal-, GMO- and glyphosate-free, but I’ll write about that in a future post. In the meantime, check out the Health Ranger Store, plus sign up for the free Super Human Energy Summit and get some great bonuses in the bargain……
Salud!
