We can stop biotech but can we stop their genetic destruction or not?

Yesterday, I was at the glyphosate spoiled soils of Amsterdam city, attending a world wide protest against genetic engineering of food. It was targeted against the nr 1 biotech company Monsanto.

Just before the protest march, my daughter drew this picture and I put the text on it which basically says "GMO destroys intestinal flora".

I realised that this is basically the core evil of eating GMO's. Why? Well, because the intestinal flora is responsible for most of our natural immune system properties and it's also part of the pathway to transport minerals from the food into our bodies. The GMO's currently on the marked and the ones in the pipeline have been shown to produce all kinds of 'side effect' when eated.

There are several way's they destroy the intestinal flora:

• The GMO's currently available produce their own pesticide at cellular level. It's one of the great features of GMO's : when small bugs eat it, their stomach blows up from the augmented (BT Toxin) pesticide that is produced in great amounts by the plant. It has been shown now that these properties continue to exist in our own gut bacteria : the BT-Toxin continues to be produced in our stomach!
• The seeds are resistant against pesticides which contain glyphosate. It is sprayed on most of the world's genetically engineered crops and it is now linked to "autism ... gastrointestinal issues such as inflammatory bowel disease, chronic diarrhea, colitis and Crohn's disease, obesity, cardiovascular disease, depression, cancer, cachexia, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and ALS, among others."
• The seeds currently on the marked are made in an old tech way. It's been proven that every seed has at least a 2 percent DNA alteration. What it means is that these plants are producing certain proteins which are different compare to what our gut flora is used to eat for thousands of years. That's fine for a worm which pops out a few babies each month or so and has a faster way of getting resistant to these features. But it's not for most animals and certainly not for humans. We cannot wait a few thousands of years until our gut flora are modified to properly digest this food, right. (ah see, another profit loss business for the future. making pills or liquid so that we can digest this shit)

In conclusion. No doubt, we can shut down and reverse lot's of things. But ... how do you reverse the already ongoing genetic destruction. The above mentioned properties cross pollinate into organic plants as well. And since you cannot stop nature from doing this, it's just a matter of time before contamination spreads. They're also into seeds that kill their own seeds they make (you really don't want that going around in nature!). Personally, I don't think there's a way to reverse this. I feel a bit lost in this one. I see no real solution other then having to grow in a sterile environment and thus lacking again all the precious minerals that the earth ecosystems have given us.
