Why was Methotrexate Recalled (or why should it be) ?
Methotrexate has been shown to decrease the number of blood cells in your bone marrow. It can cause cancerous lymphomas, tumor lysis syndrome (electrolyte imbalances), severe skin reactions, infections such as pneumonia, bone and soft tissue damage, and severe damage to your liver, kidneys, lungs, and gastrointestinal tract (some of which can be fatal).
This drug is so bad that If you are pregnant they reccomend aborting the baby because of the damage it will do. It has actually been used with other medication as an abortion pill.. If you become pregnant, call your doctor immediately. Methotrexate Will harm the fetus.
Reports in the UK show that in the last 10 years, 25 patient deaths and 26 cases of serious harm have been linked to the use of oral methotrexate. Because of the toxic effects associated with taking methotrexate, patients require regular blood tests to check for side effects. Most doctor’s do not do these tests.

- Way to many to even try to list but here is a few

Methotrexate has been around a long time and has proven safer than taking prescription strenth motrin on a regular basis. People have taken it for years without harmful side effects. Stop trying to scare people out of treating deadly diseases.

I have heard that methotrexate suppresses the immune system and that is not a good thing. Rebuild the immune system with natural produce such as fruit and veg, not go harming it with lethal, toxic pills.
