00:00It's possible that a woman was infected
00:02that she couldn't open one of her eyes
00:04after having a glutathione injection.
00:07According to an ophthalmologist.
00:09According to the Food and Drug Administration,
00:11Glutadrift is only approved
00:13to reduce the symptoms of some diseases
00:15and it's not approved to use
00:17to whiten your skin.
00:19Darlene Kai is a witness.
00:24I made a video asking for prayers
00:26for my fast recovery
00:28and awareness.
00:29In Jelly Matcha's viral online video,
00:31she blames the injection
00:33for not being able to open her eyes.
00:35I had an infection
00:37in my glutadrift session.
00:39The nurse who gave me the injection didn't know.
00:41When she gave me the injection,
00:43she took the needle
00:45and my root popped.
00:47I tried again
00:49here
00:51and it popped again.
00:53After two days,
00:55it was so painful.
00:58I couldn't stop it.
01:00I had to go to the ER.
01:02In the new video,
01:04Jelly was able to open one of her eyes.
01:06According to her ophthalmologist,
01:08she had an infection
01:10and nerves were affected in her eyes.
01:12My concern is that
01:14I was able to open my eyes
01:16but as you can see
01:18in the eyeball,
01:20I was able to see a little
01:22but I was able to see three things.
01:24According to the board certified ophthalmologist
01:26Generally,
01:28IV drugs
01:30like Gluta for example
01:32do not cause
01:34infections
01:36except if
01:38the drug is contaminated
01:40or the needle
01:42or the paraphernalia
01:44that was used
01:46to inject the drug.
01:48I didn't see
01:50any infection
01:52related to IV Gluta.
01:55I didn't see any infection
01:57in my eyes
01:59directly caused by the IV Gluta.
02:01However,
02:03the Food and Drug Administration of the FDA
02:05has not approved Gluta drip or Gluta IV
02:07as a skin lightening agent or whitening agent.
02:09IV Glutathione has
02:11only been approved by the FDA
02:13for the mitigation of the
02:15side effects of chemotherapy
02:17from cisplatin.
02:19They call it neurotoxicity.
02:21As for the possible effects of thyroid,
02:23it can be toxicity, abnormalities,
02:25gastritis,
02:27kidney failure,
02:29severe skin problems,
02:31side effects,
02:33allergies.
02:35It is also dangerous for other types of IV drip
02:37such as vitamin C drip.
02:39If the dose is too high,
02:41the urine can be too acidic
02:43and cause kidney stones.
02:45It is different if the doctor prescribed
02:47Gluta drip because it can ease
02:49the symptoms of pain such as candy's rheumatic fever.
02:51When I was not yet diagnosed
02:53with autoimmune disease,
02:55I started taking IV drip
02:57because my hands
02:59both hands
03:01hurt
03:03I can't bend
03:05It always swells
03:07Since I started taking IV drip
03:09it doesn't hurt anymore
03:11This is considered
03:13as a cancer medicine
03:15We consider it
03:17as a cancer medicine
03:20If it is used for whitening,
03:22it is definitely not approved
03:24by the Food and Drug Administration
03:26Since 2019,
03:2820 million Pesos worth of illegal whitening products
03:30were approved by the FDA
03:32as Gluta drip
03:34There are oral glutathione products
03:36that are registered with the FDA
03:38but it cannot be promoted
03:40as a whitening product
03:42The Department of Health has previously
03:44prohibited the use of glutathione as a whitening product
03:46For GMA Integrated News
03:48We are waiting for your witness
