Within months of being soaked with a glyphosate herbicide while working on a cell tower maintenance crew, Tennessee teenager Arden Allison developed a tumor that grew into what he described as “this massive alien sucking the life off of me.”
Arden was 17 when he landed a job maintaining cell towers across the Midwest. According to his mother, Serene Allison, writing in RealClear Health, his duties included spraying weeds around tower sites with Roundup, a glyphosate-based herbicide first made by Monsanto, now owned by Bayer.
“I didn’t realize the danger,” Arden said in a recent interview on CHD.TV. During the two months he spent “mowing, weedeating and spraying around all the cell towers and access roads,” he said he experienced “several different big exposures of glyphosate.”
The worst came when a backpack sprayer malfunctioned. After Arden climbed over a fence, “the lid popped off” the sprayer. He was “completely doused … with glyphosate,” he said. The chemical soaked his neck, shoulders and upper body.
Wearing a tank top and without access to a shower, Arden rinsed off with a water bottle and finished his workday. He said the company didn’t provide protective gear.
“I was told it was … absolutely fine,” he said. But the exposure happened on a hot day when his “pores were open” and his body soaked up “all those chemicals.”
His mother said co-workers assured her son that glyphosate “wasn’t dangerous” because it was “just a regular pesticide.”
The exposure occurred in the fall of 2015. Just months later — five weeks after marrying his high school sweetheart in February 2016 — Arden was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma.
‘What’s happened out there?’ mom asked as healthy son deteriorated
Before taking the cell tower maintenance job, Arden was a healthy teenager who had been homeschooled, graduated at 16 and quickly entered the workforce.
He said he grew up in the rural “boondocks of Tennessee country,” where “there was nobody spraying any chemicals.”
When Arden returned from working out of state, his mother quickly noticed something was wrong.
“He’s always been a positive Pete kind of guy,” Serene said. “But immediately when he came home, I’m like, ‘What’s happened out there on the road?’”
Her tall, athletic son had grown pale and was losing weight rapidly. “He was getting thinner by the day,” she said.
He also developed persistent itching, night sweats and a scratchy throat. Eventually, one side of his face, neck and chest swelled dramatically.
Arden said the swelling corresponded with where the glyphosate had soaked into his body.
“I only … had an exposure, like an extreme exposure, in this area,” he said, pointing to his neck and shoulder. “I never had any cancerous lymph nodes in my whole lymphatic system besides … right here.”
‘One of the worst cases of Hodgkin lymphoma’ doctors had ever seen
Hoping to avoid chemotherapy, Arden traveled to an alternative cancer clinic after doctors initially diagnosed him with Stage 1 Hodgkin lymphoma.
At the time, the disease was visible only as a small lump above his collarbone, Arden said. But three weeks later, everything had changed.
Serene said she “will never forget” the moment she saw her son again.
“His features were overtaken by this alien on his neck,” she said. “I couldn’t even see my son anymore.”
Arden said his cancer progressed from Stage 1 to Stage 4 during those three weeks. New scans showed the disease had spread dramatically.
Instead of sending him through the emergency room, doctors admitted Arden directly to intensive care.
“The doctor said, ‘This is one of the worst cases of Hodgkin lymphoma we have ever seen,’” he recalled.
Arden said doctors warned his wife that he “is probably not going to make it.”
Even if he survived, they said, his lymph nodes would “never be normal again,” and the swelling to his neck and upper body would likely be permanent.
Doctors also said he would probably be infertile because they were “going to light him up” with chemotherapy, according to Arden.
‘I wanted to make my body the most undesirable place for illness to live’
What followed was a grueling seven-year fight.
Arden underwent what he described as a “massive, huge chemotherapy regimen.” But each time scans came back clear, the cancer returned.
His mother said he eventually became resistant to chemotherapy, leaving a “full stem cell transplant” as his only remaining option. “They basically nuke your entire immune system,” she said.
Even then, Arden refused to give up. Despite feeling “absolutely terrible,” he forced himself to walk a mile each day through the halls of the hospital while recovering from his stem cell transplant.
“I wanted to make my body the most undesirable place for illness to live,” he said.
His faith also became central to his recovery.
“My wife and I … had to just straight up give my life to the Lord,” he said. “I had to be like, ‘Hey, I’m OK if I live or die.’”
He credits family, faith and determination for helping him survive. “I refused to quit,” he said.
His mother believes the way she raised her son helped prepare his body to endure years of chemotherapy, radiation and a stem cell transplant.
The family produced much of its own food, including meat, milk from goats and vegetables from an organic garden.
“The meat we raised here, milk from our goats, veggies from our organic garden,” she said. “And if you ate bread, it was like 36-hour fermented ancient grain.”
While Serene credits her son’s recovery first and foremost to God, she also believes the nutrient-rich foods he ate growing up gave him the strength to survive.
“If he had a very … weak immune system, if he was raised on soda pop and white Wonder Bread, I don’t think he’ll be here,” she said. “I think even the alternative treatment we did before … helped strengthen him for that fight.”
Today, Arden said he is healthier than ever. “I’m cancer-free.”
Doctors had warned the aggressive chemotherapy would likely leave him infertile. Instead, he and his wife now have two children and are expecting a third.
“These are miracle children,” he said.
‘Get this disgusting poison out of our food supply’
Surviving cancer gave Arden a new purpose.
Today, he coaches men around the country and overseas on physical, mental and spiritual health, saying he hopes to help others before they face the kind of health crisis he endured.
“I can’t explain, besides a miracle, why I’m here today, besides to stand up and encourage other people,” he said.
He and his mother have become outspoken critics of glyphosate, urging consumers and lawmakers to push for changes to food and agricultural policy.
Arden said he believes environmental chemicals are driving an alarming rise in aggressive cancers.
“It starts by chemicals,” he said. “We have record diagnoses of crazy cancers, new cancers. … The doctor said, ‘We’ve never seen … Hodgkin lymphoma this aggressive.’ It has to be … fed by chemicals.”
Glyphosate exposure is so widespread that people are routinely exposed to it through farms, lawns golf courses and other everyday settings. “It’s on everything,” Arden said.
His mother said watching her son fight for his life transformed her into an advocate.
Referring to the U.S. Supreme Court’s June decision shielding Bayer, the maker of Roundup, from certain failure-to-warn lawsuits, she said, “I’m rising up. I’m telling my story. I’m telling our story.”
Calling glyphosate “barbaric treatment into our food,” she encouraged viewers to choose organic oats, beans and grains when possible, noting that “oats is a big dirty one.”
Arden said protecting future generations will require action from both lawmakers and consumers.
“You gotta fight. We gotta do what we’re … called to do,” he said. “It also takes all of us worldwide making a stand.”
Serene echoed that message, urging people to contact lawmakers and “help them … change the laws so that we can get this disgusting poison out of our food supply.”

President Donald Trump issued an executive order invoking the Defense Production Act to elevate the weedkiller glyphosate to a matter of national security. The directive mandates domestic production of the controversial herbicide, a move that sparked intense backlash from the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement and advocates seeking stricter pesticide regulations.
Executive Order and National Security DesignationIn February 2026, President Trump signed the executive order to promote the domestic manufacturing of glyphosate and elemental phosphorus. The administration justified this action by citing food and agricultural security, arguing that a shortage of the chemical could critically jeopardize crop yields and agricultural productivity. The order extends certain liability protections under the Defense Production Act to domestic producers, effectively benefiting Bayer, the sole U.S. manufacturer of glyphosate.
Before GMO, or Goyslop, the US was producing so much food we had to dump a lot of it in the ocean to drive the price up. About 48 times more than we consume. GMO crops should never been allowed in the USA.
While the E.U. is a tyranny, they did get one thing right regarding GMO. They have chosen a different way to destroy their peoples. Flooding them with illegals
The European Union does not ban GMO foods outright. Instead, it has established a strict regulatory system. The EU permits the import of GMO products—especially for animal feed—under strict traceability rules. However, the domestic cultivation of GMO crops is heavily restricted, and consumer-ready GMO foods require mandatory labeling.For a closer look at how the EU manages these products, here is a breakdown of their policies:Strict Import Policies:
The EU imports millions of tons of genetically modified grain (primarily soy and corn) annually to sustain its livestock and poultry industries. These imports must pass strict scientific risk assessments conducted by the European Food Safety Authority.Cultivation Bans:
While the EU has an approval process for cultivating GMO crops, individual member states have the authority to ban or restrict the growing of approved GMO crops on their own territories. Because most EU nations have exercised this right, very few GMO crops are actively grown within Europe.Labeling and Traceability: The EU requires that any food or feed product containing more than 0.9% GMO material must be clearly labeled to ensure consumer transparency
RFK Jr. said take your glyphosate. It’s like totally cool.
But seriously. It’s like the medical community refuses to understand how cancer works. Of course the cancer returned. The glyphosate is still trapped in his body! Cancer is the bodies way of isolating a toxin, by use of fast growing cells. The solution here would have been simple fasting. The body would tear down the contaminated tissue thereby releasing the trapped glyphosate. I mean, this process happens naturally over time. Typically after about 7-10 years. So how long was he fighting the cancer? ….oh.
Sad story, but this is sprayed onto everyone’s food. Its used by farmers just before crop harvest, so everyone can get a fresh dose of poison. And your neighbors are spraying their weeds so it blows over to you.
The solution is to move farther from city and grow your own.
Or spend the little bit extra for organic.
Glyphosate AND cellular radiation? What could possibly go wrong!? ….oh.
The Orange Clown Administration will include Glysophate in the new warp speed 2 jab, which will go right up the goyim’s ass and be delivered by “heroes in uniform.”
Glysophate will also be added to all Goyslop establishments to further eradicate the low class goyim population in a very expeditious manner. The Iphone zombie crowds will be the first ones to go. The upper middle class will become the new poor “slave class” and service the wealthy and elite, who have grown tired of the lower classes. I mean, you can’t blame them on that measure as most of the lower classes are trash people with tattoos, piercings, vape odors, alcohol odors, meth tracks, cornrows, beads, nose rings, and sloppy clothing. The current generation is so dumbed down, they can not do simple math equations in their heads or on the calculator function of their phones.
Drink Glyphosate
But of course you do! Drink up honey!!!
