00:00Meanwhile, for those who want to achieve cutes porcelain, be careful with what you drink and what you put on your body.
00:07A woman who has a hard time opening her eyes is now viral on the internet.
00:12She woke up early after attending a gluta-drip session.
00:16Even though she was not directly affected by her condition,
00:19the authorities are still worried about what she uses as whitening.
00:23This is the news of Darlene Cai.
00:25I made a video asking for prayers for my post-recovery and awareness.
00:34In Jelly Matcha's viral online video, she blames her inability to open her eyes due to gluta-drip.
00:41I had an infection during my gluta-drip session.
00:44The nurse who operated on me didn't know about it.
00:47When she operated on me here,
00:49she inserted the needle and my root burst.
00:54I tried again here and it burst again.
00:58After two days,
01:00It hurts so much.
01:02I can't stop it anymore.
01:04I went straight to the ER. I took vinegar.
01:07In the new video, Jelly opened one of her eyes.
01:11According to her ophthalmologist, she had an infection and nerves were affected in her eyes.
01:16My vision now, my concern,
01:18I was able to open my eyes,
01:21but as you can see in the eyeball,
01:24I was able to see a little, but I saw three things.
01:27According to the board certified ophthalmologist I talked to, Dr. Ethos Yutangco,
01:31Generally, IV drugs, gluta for example,
01:37generally do not cause infections.
01:41Except if the drug or the needle used is contaminated.
01:48The needle, the paraphernalia used to insert the drug.
01:53I didn't see any IV gluta-related infection in my eyes.
02:02Directly caused by the IV gluta.
02:06However, the Food and Drug Administration of the FDA has not yet approved
02:10GlutaDrip or GlutaIV as a skin lightening agent or whitening agent.
02:14IV glutathione has only been approved by the FDA for
02:18the mitigation of the side effects of chemotherapy
02:22from cisplatin, what they call neurotoxicity.
02:25As for those who may be affected by thyroid, stones, and liver.
02:28It can be toxicity, abnormalities, gastritis,
02:32kidney failure, severe skin problems, side effects, allergies.
02:39It is also dangerous for other IV drips, such as vitamin C drip.
02:43If the dose is too high, at some point, the urine can be too acidic
02:48and cause kidney stones.
02:50It is different if the doctor advised to use glutathione
02:53because it is lighter in the symptoms of the disease,
02:55like Candy's rheumatic fever.
02:57When I was not yet diagnosed with autoimmune disease,
03:01I started using IV drips because my hands,
03:04my both hands hurt, I can't bend.
03:10It always hurts.
03:12Since I started using IV drips, it doesn't hurt anymore.
03:18This is only considered as a medicine for cancer.
03:22We consider it as cancer medicine.
03:24So if it is used as a whitening agent,
03:27it is definitely not approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
03:30Since 2019, 20 million pesos worth of illegal whitening products
03:35has been confiscated by the FDA as a glutathione drip.
03:38There are oral glutathione products or ingested glutathione
03:40registered in the FDA,
03:42but it cannot be promoted as a whitening agent.
03:46The Department of Health has previously prohibited
03:48the use of glutathione as a whitening agent.
