DONATE NOW 20 years of Trusted Work  Page 16 in Jeffrey Smith’s book, Seeds of Deception, now holds a page in my heart and mind, changing the course of my ideology and medical practice indubitably. It was through Jeffrey’s work that I began to understand the history and research behind GMOs, the web of fraudulence behind their promotion, and the untoward effects on our collective health. The introduction of GMOs and their associated pesticides paired with the rising tide of gut disturbances and neurologic issues I was seeing in children altered my clinical practice to prescriptions for organic, regenerative diets. Forever grateful for his work, honored to be called his friend and colleague, I salute Mr. Smith for his dedication and commitment to the education regarding the corruption of our food supply. Michelle Perro, MD, DHom Pediatrician, Executive Director, GMO Science , Co-Author, What’s Making Our Children Sick  I have known Jeffrey Smith for decades and have watched with thrilled admiration as he took on the momentous task of protecting us from GMOs. His efforts continue to benefit our health and planet in incalculable ways. Thank you, Jeffrey, for your tireless work and for your friendship. And happy 20th anniversary IRT. Marci Shimoff #1 NY Times bestselling author, Happy for No Reason and Chicken Soup for the Woman’s Soul  Jeffrey Smith has been the tip of the spear in awakening humanity to the poisoning of our food and the potentially lethal abuse of genetic tampering. His books, videos and articles have awakened me and hundreds of millions of others to these critical challenges. Jeffrey and his team at IRT have been unflagging and courageous. They deserve every kind and every bit of support we can send their way. Foster Gamble Co-creator, THRIVE Movies and Movement  Thanks for doing this courageous and necessary work! I was blown away by your deep commitment and knowledge from the first time I heard you share about this and am honored to support your work. JJ Virgin Celebrity Nutrition and Fitness Expert  Our world is a better and safer place thanks to Jeffrey Smith’s tireless dedication, through multiple inroads, focused on raising our awareness of what would otherwise remain hidden existential threats. David Perlmutter, MD  Jeffrey Smith us a true pioneer in advancing the health of mankind and our planet. Jeffrey has worked tirelessly and at great personal risk to blow the lid off of several insidious plans by the powers that-be,” to control life and damage humanity. While others have received much of the credit, Jeffrey is the man behind the messages of truth that can help save humanity as we know it. Jordan Rubin Founder, Garden of Life, Beyond Organic and Ancient Nutrition, New York Times Bestselling Author, The Maker’s Diet  Jeffrey and I go way back to when I was working for the Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility from 2003 to 2011. I started and directed their Campaign for Safe Food, which took on the problems of GMO’s, with recombinant bovine growth hormone, (rBGH or rBST), as one major focus. Soon after starting, I became familiar with some of the national leaders in this movement, and Jeffrey was prominent in getting the word out. I don’t remember when we first met, but we communicated with each other closely and saw each other in person from time to time. One of my favorite memories was when we went out to lunch one time when he was visiting Portland. I thought I picked a very clean” organic-oriented restaurant, but Jeffrey grilled that waitress about everything on the menu to make sure! I think she learned a lot that day about what foods were and were not GMO-free. Rick North  Jeffrey Smith’s incredibly well written and documented, Seeds of Deception” opened my eyes in a big way to the incredible deceit and corruption perpetrated by big Pharma at the expense of the health of humanity. He generously allowed me to post a 10-page summary of the book on our popular website www.WantToKnow.info. That summary has received around 100,000 views, serving to awaken so many caring people around the world. Thank you so much, Jeffrey, for the incredible leadership and generosity of spirit which is a hallmark of all you do. Fred Burks Transformation Agent, Executive Director, PEERS (Public Education and Empowerment Resource Service)  Jeffrey’s book, Seeds of Deception” starts with a sentence, like when Susan opened the door…”, and I am that Susan he is referring to. I opened only the door of our house, but Jeffrey has opened the hearts and minds of people to the dangers of GMO foods and GMOs in general. He is an excellent teacher and I congratulate him for keeping up the good work for decades, educating us all. He is the best ambassador to translate scientifically difficult messages and pass them on in simple terms, which can be understood by all. I love him for what he has done for humanity, and these are not only words. Susan Bardocz Professor at University of Debrecen, Author, Lectins: Biomedical Perspectives  I had the great pleasure of working with Jeffrey M. Smith when I led the Sierra Club on the issue of GMOs. Jeffrey was (and still is!) a maverick. Those who break barriers are often met with resistance. We need mavericks who aren’t afraid of standing strong and tenaciously moving forward. Mother Earth is in great need of restoration and healing. I am so appreciative of Jeffrey’s perseverance, whether it is educating the masses or dealing with those who promoted GMOs. Laurel Hopwood Previous chair of Sierra Club’s Genetic Engineering Team  Jeffrey rang me from the USA, it must have been around eighteen years ago, and explained about the contents and purpose of Seeds of Deception”. His earnestness and clarity of thought projected directly into my old grey matter. Jeffrey fully recognised and eloquently expressed the devastating outcome of allowing GMO to get into farmland and the food chain. Jeffrey was – and no doubt remains – a great source of inspiration to all those he comes in contact with. Sir Julian Rose and Jadwiga Lopata Co-directors, The International Coalition to Protect the Polish Countryside and Say No to GMO campaign that led to GMO seeds being banned in Poland (2006)  Jeffrey has been an inspiration to us in Aotearoa/New Zealand. I first read Jeffrey Smith Genetic Roulette and the information was clear and concise. It shook my understanding of what we were doing to our natural food. This inspired me to speak out and become educated on genetic engineering and its deleterious impacts on the environment and health. Thank you Jeffrey for awakening me to the need to stay GE Free. I still remember the Christmas Cricket game, it was fantastic. Claire Bleakley President, GE Free...
