He Holds the Patent that Could Destroy Monsanto and Change the World


If there’s anything you read – or share – let this be it. The content of this article has potential to radically shift the world in a variety of positive ways.

And as Monsanto would love for this article to not go viral, all we can ask is that you share, share, share the information being presented so that it can reach as many people as possible.

In 2006, a patent was granted to a man named Paul Stamets. Though Paul is the world’s leading mycologist, his patent has received very little attention and exposure. Why is that? Stated by executives in the pesticide industry, this patent represents “the most disruptive technology we have ever witnessed.” And when the executives say disruptive, they are referring to it being disruptive to the chemical pesticides industry.

What has Paul discovered? The mycologist has figured out how to use mother nature’s own creations to keep insects from destroying crops. It’s what is being called SMART pesticides. These pesticides provide safe & nearly permanent solution for controlling over 200,000 species of insects – and all thanks to the ‘magic’ of mushrooms.

1. Bravo! This is a truly wonderful thing. I know mushrooms have destroyed me a few times.

Monsanto stock may take a tumble if his discovery is implemented

[Logical]

2. It seems like there "amazing discovery" stories never come to fruition. nt

13. Nitrogen fixation, refrigeration, moldboard plow and pasteurization were all amazing discoveries

Nitrogen fixation, refrigeration, moldboard plow and pasteurization were all amazing discoveries which each came to fruition, yes?

I imagine bias can often prevent us from thinking rationally. I imagine it bias will also soon imagine a distinction without a difference, too...

14. You have a really odd way of communicating. nth

4. apparently MONSANTO is confused as well...

Q: How is Roundup PROMAX® herbicide registered in the U.S.?

A: All pesticides in the U.S., including Roundup PROMAX, must be registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) before they can be sold. Before the agency can approve registration, a variety of stringent toxicity, crop residue and environmental fate studies must be conducted by the company and reviewed by the EPA. Only when the EPA finds the studies to be scientifically sound and accepts them can the pesticide be registered and sold in the U.S. In addition, many state agencies carefully review these studies, examine product uses for specific geographies, and apply their own strict registration to pesticides. Monsanto's glyphosate-based herbicides certainly have one of the most extensive worldwide human health, occupational safety and environmental databases ever completed on a pesticide product. The study of glyphosate continues today as new requirements come into existence or as Monsanto evaluates possible

6. Glyphosate is an herbicide, not an insecticide.

As you can tell by what you posted, it's called Roundup Promax herbicide.

7. Anyone with any knowledge in this area knows they make both.

8. Well, I stand corrected then.

[Travis_0004]

5. I don't believe it

If he has figured it all out, why doesn't he sell it and make a few millions. Or if it really was a threat to Mosanto, he could have even sold the patent to Mosanto for millions as well, but instead he is not doing anything about it?

[Hoyt]

9. I agree. You hear these stories all the time about different inventions. I hope I'm wrong,

but I have my doubts.

In fact, if it were true, investors would be lining up to bring it to market and put Monsanto out of business.

10. Everytime this story is repeated it gets a little more exaggerated

Stated by executives in the pesticide industry, this patent represents “the most disruptive technology we have ever witnessed.”

What executives and who is being quoted? Conveniently the article doesn't say, and it's written anonymously by "Jason" on an obscure website.

Fungal pesticides are nothing new and aren't economically viable for a number of reasons, yet we are assured one developed 10 years ago is somehow going to change the world, but strangely hasn't made it out of those obscure publications yet. Very telling that.

[Duppers]

11. K & R

Why is this thread most ignored?

Would you please post this in Environment & Energy forum. Thx.

[getthefacts4a]

12. no really

he holds a bunch of patents I so do I. Unfortunately unless someone actually does something with it it is useless. His 2006 patents expires in 2021. So someone has 6 years to make the product and sell it. It will take a lot longer than that to get it ready for use.

It would be great if it worked. Monsanto is working on microbial that protect plants against pests. There have been many patents or inventions discoveries but they don't work in practice in a farmer's field.

So go back into you underground hole.

Also kind of ironic that the people who complain about patents owned by Monsanto hope that someone else with a patent will crush them.

Also Bt is mother's nature's creation Monsanto just made it in the plant and that does work has worked for 20 years and before you complain about pests becoming resistant - any pest protection system can be overcome by pests
