Cytotoxic Chemicals in Chemo Drugs Are Dangerous to Families, Caregivers, and the environment.
Cytotoxic Chemo Drug Dangers are well-documented and long-established facts.
Cytotoxic Drugs present serious health hazards and “have been known to cause cancer, reproductive and developmental problems, allergic reactions, and other adverse effects that can be irreversible even after low-level exposures.” Cytotoxic chemo drugs are designed to cure cancer by damaging DNA and killing the cancer cells. One big problem is they also damage the DNA of healthy cells, producing common side effects such as hair loss.

In fact, extensive safety precautions are used by everyone involved with cytotoxins: from manufacturers and pharmacists to nurses and cleaning staff. Yet still, the danger exists. Read more.

Studies on Cytotoxic Chemo Drugs Dangers by Leading Health and Environmental Organizations
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) warns that cytotoxic exposure can cause cancer, miscarriage and birth defects:
“Many HD’s (hazardous drugs) are known human carcinogens,for which there is no safe level of exposure. The development of secondary malignancies is a well-documented side effect of chemotherapy treatment.”.
There is no safe level of exposure
How Is This Possible?
Just like vitamins and many other pharmaceuticals, Cytotoxic Chemo Drugs are excreted in active form, in various levels and lengths of time.Shocking but true, a large majority of chemotherapy patients unwittingly excrete one of the world’s most dangerous chemicals through their urine, feces, and vomit.
Without proper safety equipment, family members, caregivers, and our environment can be exposed to active Cytotoxic Chemicals.As unpleasant as those thoughts may be, the danger to anyone exposed to ANY LEVEL of these chemo drugs is extreme.

Babies, children and pregnant women are especially vulnerable, due to the DNA-damaging effect of Cytotoxic Drugs on rapidly dividing cells.
