COMMENT ADDED (17 October 2015): Glyphosate acts as a toxicant by activating voltage-gated calcium channels, the same mechanism activated by Electro Magnetic Fields - comment by Martin Pall, 3 February 2014 (via WEEP News, Canada)
"A number of people with these diseases [Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, MCS, PTSD...] (see http://tinyurl.com/10thParadigm) have reported apparent sensitivity to roundup herbicide and its "active" ingredient, glyphosate... I recently found a paper showing that glyphosate acts as a toxicant by activating voltage-gated calcium channels, the same mechanism activated by electromagnetic field exposure. There is no reason to doubt that such increased intracellular calcium levels should be able to up-regulate the NO/ONOO- cycle and therefore most if not all NO/ONOO- cycle caused diseases. I think that there is reason for concern here. It may well be the case that glyphosate may act synergistically with EMF exposures to together produce much higher pathophysiological responses."
WHO Cancer Expert: Glyphosate is Definitely Genotoxic
Sustainable Pulse, 15 July 2015
Professor Christopher Portier, one of the co-authors of the World Health Organisation’s International Agency for Research on Cancer’s (IARC) recent report which determined Glyphosate’s status as a probable carcinogen, reiterated the IARC’s conclusions, and said: “Glyphosate is definitely genotoxic. There is no doubt in my mind.”
