Have you or a loved one been diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma after exposure to RoundUp Weed Killer?

Exposure to glyphosate in RoundUp has been linked to many health complications, birth defects, developmental issues, and illnesses including:

• Cancer
• Autism
• Alzheimer’s Disease
• Kidney Disease
• Parkinson’s Disease
• Liver Disease
• Diabetes
• Infertility

This is not an exhaustive list. RoundUp has also been linked to a multitude of other conditions including depression, anorexia, inflammatory bowel disease, and is known to inhibit fetal development according to a 2013 study published by Entropy Journal in Switzerland.

The EPA’s decision to remove glyphosate’s classification as a possible carcinogen was based on information thought to be from an independent study. However, government documents released from a request under the Freedom of Information Act revealed that the “independent studies” and “independent reviews” were either partially funded or sponsored by pesticide industry companies.

An endocrine disruptor is a chemical that disrupt the endocrine system causing hormonal disturbances in the body potentially harming the reproductive and immune system, fertility, and fetal development in animals.

Roundup causes lymphoma and leukemia cancers affecting the lymphatic system partly, scientists believe, because of its effects on the endocrine system. People who develop cancer after exposure to RoundUp, and people who have lost loved ones from prolonged exposure to the herbicide may be eligible to file a RoundUp cancer lawsuit seeking compensation from Monsanto.

Glyphosate has been under attack for years by scientists who claim it is a health hazard, but momentum against the chemical surged after a March 2015 report by the World Health Organization (WHO). According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the cancer research arm of the WHO, glyphosate is likely a carcinogen. People exposed to the chemical are at a higher risk of developing several cancers, including non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, B-cell and follicular lymphoma, and more.

The WHO announced in March 2015 that it had added glyphosate to “Group 2A,” meaning it was added to a list of chemicals classified as “probable carcinogens.” The organization recommended the listing after reviews of 15 years worth of research studies showed that glyphosate caused non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in humans.

The WHO also found that glyphosate in Roundup could also cause cancer in animals, pointing to a study involving the carcinogenic effects of the chemical on lab mice. While only three out of 50 mice in the study developed kidney cancer after glyphosate exposure, the form of cancer is so rare that the organization became alarmed.

In addition, the organization found evidence of chromosomal and DNA damage occurring in the cells of people living near an area where large amounts of glyphosate were sprayed on a regular basis.

Over the last two decades, scientists have worked to establish a link between glyphosate and a host of illnesses. In 2005, for example, French researchers found that placental cells in humans are susceptible to even minimal exposure to the chemical, concluding that it could potentially cause reproduction problems. Other research indicates the glyphosate can lead to human and animal genetic damage, an increased risk of attention deficit disorder, and can also reduce the production of sex hormones.

Largely as a result of the WHO findings, regulators across the country are considering tighter restrictions on the use of glyphosate. For example, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced on April 1, 2015 that its new restrictions will likely be similar to those placed on another herbicide known as Enlist Duo, produced by Dow. In 2014, the EPA mandated that Enlist Duo use be limited to certain states, and required Dow to notify the EPA of any instances where weeds have become resistant to the product.

Also, California officials are considering whether glyphosate should be listed as a carcinogenic material, which would make it illegal to knowingly discharge the chemical into drinking water. In addition, any farmers or other businesses that use glyphosate would be required to provide the public with “clear and reasonable warnings.”
