Daily writing prompt: Q: If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why?
Answer: Skin-whitening.
Because the concept and procedure is NOT healthy and NOT safe
Tap video below: Auditionee said she joined the contest to see that a person does NOT have to be “beautiful”, white-skinned, and tall to succeed in a talent-based industry: Her name is KZ Tandingan, later winning this and international singing competitions, and now one of the most sensational OPM (original Philippine Music) artists here and globally
An outcry of netizens greeted the promotional online social media video of the spouse of Philippine Senator Robinhood Padilla, Mariel Padilla, six days ago, when, inside the Senate office of her husband, she demonstrated and promoted online a gluta intravenous drip (by injection in the vein) known as a skin-whitening procedure in the Philippines (photo credits as embedded), advertising that people should “drip anywhere”
I appreciate the statement of the Department of Health Philippines and the FDA Philippines issued tonight that: They are not recommending gluta drips for whitening but that, if a product has been approved by the FDA for entry to the Philippines, they cannot regulate the practice of doctors in prescribing it for any purpose. Here po, for reference of all medical practitioners, (see photo below) is the gluta drip set, 50,000 mg Glutathione for 10 vials or a dosage of 5,000 mg of Glutathione, 2X weekly (or daily) sold without prescription online. Is this a SAFE DOSAGE? (regardless of whether for whitening or not)? Yes or no? What is the safe dosage? It is sold online without prescription; and based on the comments section of the online selling sites, buyers are injecting it by themselves. Is this SAFE FOR ONLINE PROMOTION and SAFE FOR ONLINE LIVE SELLING? (without prejudice to accountability of persons using Senate premises for promoting gluta drips).
