#INVESTIGATION Hundreds of horticultural sprays are used widely here in Aotearoa and long term studies into their effects on health and the land are few and far between – the Environmental Protection Agency is charged with evaluating the chemicals and at the end of last year, put one of the most contentious Hydrogen Cyanamide on its reassessment list. It’s now up to a panel to decide whether its use here in New Zealand is continued.
In Part 2 and 3, We continue our investigation into the widespread use of horticultural chemicals throughout Aotearoa.

(MOH) Ministry of health has finally come out of the shadows now after a long road we all had to drag this errant health agency forward to the 2020 era.
Finally now we hope Ministry of Health are out of the twilight zone of the 1970s Rogernomics era that stripped this agency from being a ‘forward thinking health agency’ that was challenging multinational chemical companies (Dow Chemical, Monstanto and their ‘five sister toxic companies’ to heel from poisoning our NZ population.
Now Ministry must now test toxic chemical stored in human our adipose (fat) tissues like many other countries do randomly to see how toxic our population actually is.
I was poisoned on a job in Canada in 1992 and by sample of adipose tissue was sent to Accuchem Laboratories in Texas for chemical analysis The results were devastating as I was full of toxins stored in my fat tissues and spent seven years in a detoxification clinic until the levels were low enough to cope with, so we need to use up to date chemical analysis in 2020 not 1970’s toxic exposure times.
Time to wake up NZ MoH people. – AROHA.
If a crop can’t be grown spray free using permaculture guidelines then it should never be commercially grown.
At least 3 of my friends have died as a result of horticultural spraying and that is a tip of an iceberg of toxicity from sprays damaging Kiwi immune systems. Glyphosate permeates much of our veggies bought in the shops
with offshore evidence systematically linking it with widespread increase in over 20 diseases and immune system damage.
Remember DDT, 2 4 5-T, 2 4 – D, IWD New Plymouth and Agent Orange.
PGG Wrightson have a lot to answer for.
