00:00If you want to whiten your skin, some people immediately apply Glutadrip.
00:09Although it is not recommended by some doctors,
00:13it may be similar to other cosmetic procedures gone wrong.
00:19This friend of Rizal wanted to whiten his skin.
00:23This is what happened to their skin.
00:27It was red, it was itchy, it was bloody, and it was even swollen.
00:34I was panicking. Was there something wrong with me?
00:36That's when a lot of pimples appeared on my back.
00:39All they did was apply Glutadrip.
00:44He should be jailed.
00:46Will the skin mix with the soil?
00:50For those who want to whiten their skin,
00:59Glutadrip became a trend.
01:02Compared to taking a glutathione capsule or tablet,
01:06which is originally a vitamin for the liver,
01:10which has a side effect of whitening the skin,
01:13Glutadrip whitens the skin faster.
01:18It's like a dextrose that is injected directly to the roots.
01:24Abby was invited to be a brand ambassador
01:27at the SPA built by her friend Angel.
01:30This is not her real name.
01:32I was so flattered that she got to know a lot of people who are more beautiful than us.
01:37Why did she choose us?
01:39In exchange for selling, promoting, and posting SPA products and services on Abby's social media,
01:47she received a free Glutadrip of Php 1,000 to Php 4,000 per session.
01:55Abby immediately applied Glutadrip on June 25.
01:59But while she was doing the procedure,
02:02My hands were shaking.
02:05Abby suddenly felt dizzy for a few seconds.
02:10I was sleepy, but the truth is I was really dizzy.
02:14Abby was just very surprised when the next day,
02:17this is what struck her.
02:20Her forehead had red marks or spots.
02:24Of course, I was in denial at that time.
02:27So I bought a cream for my freckles.
02:30Nothing happened.
02:33Until the red marks spread all over her body.
02:37In my area, there are still a lot of red marks.
02:42As in, nothing happened.
02:45I was panicking.
02:46Is there something wrong with me?
02:48But Abby was afraid to complain.
02:51I don't want to ruin my business.
02:53Until the schedule of her second Glutadrip session arrived.
02:58When it came to SPA, she was accompanied by her friends Laika, Elise, and Marimar.
03:05But Abby was very surprised that two weeks later,
03:09she heard that her friends, like her,
03:13were also panicking after Angel's free Glutadrip session.
03:23Laika, even though she was clean and white,
03:26still accepted the free Glutadrip session in exchange for posting.
03:32I was chasing the benefits like L-carnitine for weight loss.
03:36I was a bit nervous because I was also pregnant.
03:41On June 26, Laika was accompanied by her friend Marimar
03:45and her brother, Elise, who also had a Glutadrip session.
03:49It was said that this procedure would help Elise,
03:54especially since she has PCOS or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
03:59She wants to prove to people that her Glutadrip has good benefits.
04:04I cannot say that it has good effects on PCOS, not unless there is a study done.
04:08At the very beginning of the procedure, they noticed something.
04:12They were not sure where to look for it.
04:14I just let it be because it was free.
04:17I felt nausea and vomiting.
04:20They said it was normal because the medicine and vitamins were entering.
04:27After they injected the medicine in the second Glutadrip session,
04:32a lot of it came out of my back,
04:35up to my neck.
04:37It was coming out.
04:38It was the same for Abby.
04:41I told them that we are the same.
04:43Abby even decided to let her friend Angel know what happened to them.
04:49She suddenly vomited.
04:51Why are you making us look like we cannot afford to spend our own money?
04:55We are chasing money from her.
04:57Abby and Laika were consulted by their dermatologists.
05:03And according to the doctor who consulted Laika,
05:10I felt like I was overdosed.
05:12I felt nauseous.
05:13Their wounds are getting better now.
05:17My self-confidence was affected because I could not leave the house.
05:23In the back, you can also see all the marks of pain that came to us because of the glutes.
05:33While Abby was diagnosed with Gutate Psoriasis,
05:38a skin condition that comes out after the patient is infected.
05:4395% of my Gutate Psoriasis was triggered.
05:48This is most likely a drug reaction.
05:50Even Abby's make-up gigs were affected.
05:54You are close to the client while you are working.
05:58I told my co-make-up artist what I should do for my job.
06:03It's been a few weeks, but Abby's wounds are still not healing.
06:09She used to have a clean face.
06:12But now, it's a mess.
06:14Abby posted a picture of her in a friend's spa on Facebook.
06:19But instead of fixing her wound,
06:21Angel told them what to do.
06:26Do you have herpes? Do you have STDs?
06:29Who are you to tell us that?
06:32In our team's investigation,
06:34we found out that the drug that was injected to the victims
06:38that was widely sold online
06:40was not approved by the FDA or the Food and Drug Administration.
06:45The only approved drug that we tested for was
06:49intravenous drug treatment for C-Splitting Chemotherapy.
06:53Other than that, we did not approve anything.
06:55And if this is being advertised as skin lightening,
06:58we did not approve anything.
07:00In fact, we alone produce glutathione naturally.
07:04But when we age, our glutathione levels drop.
07:09However, this is being abused as a skin whitener
07:13because in very high doses,
07:16the side effect of glutathione is whitening.
07:19But it can also improve the quality of the skin.
07:23The administrative penalty for an unregistered product
07:27ranges from Php 10,000 to Php 500,000.
07:32In our team, we found out that
07:34the drug that was injected to the victims
07:36that was widely sold online
07:38was not approved by the FDA or the Food and Drug Administration.
07:42The only approved drug that we tested for
07:45was intravenous drug treatment for C-Splitting Chemotherapy.
07:49However, we did not approve anything.
07:53But the company's leadership
07:55refused to distribute their products.
07:59Our team went to Angel's spa
08:02to get her treatment.
08:05But according to our staff,
08:07Angel is not in the Philippines right now.
08:10Our team talked to her on the phone,
08:13but she is not ready to give a statement.
08:16Meanwhile, Abby and Laika
08:19formally filed a complaint against their friend.
08:23This penalty involves imprisonment
08:26for a minimum of one month and one day
08:28until 12 years of imprisonment.
08:30The court can impose a fine
08:33if a victim sustained medical expenses
08:36and other forms of damages.
08:39Under Republic Act of 2382,
08:41only medical professionals who are licensed to practice medicines
08:44are allowed to do so.
08:46Make sure that you have a registered physician.
08:50If you really want to practice medicine,
08:52you should have a licensed physician.
08:55I regret that I believed in her.
08:58But it turned out to be the opposite.
09:00She should be imprisoned.
09:02If she is not imprisoned,
09:03and she can do it to others,
09:05the others will be pitiful.
09:08This February,
09:10the DOH, or Department of Health,
09:13released a reminder
09:15that it does not support
09:17the use of glutathione
09:20for skin whitening.
09:22According to the FDA,
09:24in black and white,
09:26the injectable glutathione
09:28for skin whitening
09:30may have a toxic effect
09:34on the kidney, liver,
09:36and our nervous system.
09:38For those who still do not want to be forgiven
09:41despite the warnings of the authorities,
09:43it is advisable to consult your doctor
09:47before taking or injecting
09:49any type of glutathione.
09:53Is that clear?
