aldara (Also known as Imiquimod) THE SKIN CANCER “CURE” THAT CAN KILL By Elaine Hollingsworth, author of TAKE CONTROL YOUR HEALTH AND ESCAPE THE SICKNESS INDUSTRY FOR A SKIN CANCER SALVE THAT IS SAFE AND EFFECTIVE, CLICK HERE What is the Australian Health Minister doing to protect us from this deadly drug? NOTHING! For the truth, click here Has a physician recommended Aldara to you? Have you been damaged? See our Hall of Shame, and send your story so we can add your experiences -- help us save lives. Please feel free to copy this document and spread the word It takes a courageous person, Editor of THE LANCET, wrote, “The licensing of Vioxx and its continued use in the face of unambiguous evidence of harm have been public health catastrophes.” A health catastrophe even more devastating than Vioxx is Aldara. The chemical used in this widely sold drug has been known since 1986 to cause cancer. Thank you so much for publishing this site. There is no more question in my mind. I will beg my dermatologist to have treatments with Aldara but co-incidently read an article on Aldara SkinCancer Warning in Nexus Dec-Jan edition in the letters to the editor,,,,now I will be complaining to the relevant Australian authorities and consumers groups. I hope you have recovered and lend my support to your protest against irresponsible doctors and pharmaceutical companies. Yours truly, Caroline George ----- Original Message ----- From: Noeleen Simmons To: Richard Beasley Sent: Monday, January 23, 2006 3:39 AM Subject: Re: Aldara treatment results Dear Richard, Thanks for your time and research Oh my god, I've never been in so much pain in my teeth. I am also angry that I cannot get anyone to see the correlation. The two year statue of limitations to sue 3M or my dermatologist is up in March and she just keeps wanting to do more testing which is financially devastating to me. I will gladly pay you whatever the cost is to get something called absolute bioavailability… The other reason to give the drug intravenously to animals is to kill them.” When Richard Beasley was near death, a 3M pharmacologist told him that it would be right there, I hope this information is useful to you and feel free to e-mail me if you want more detail. I have also been in contact with Richard Beasley (a very lovely bloke) and know that Bob is by no means on his own in what he has gone through, but believe me, I have never had high blood pressure before. My eyes started watering and getting very blurry. At my last visit he told me the lesion was gone and I was to dress the site twice daily and continue to apply the cream daily until the 6 weeks concluded. Ken was given antibiotics to assist with the healing which took weeks.
The second set of treatment involved cream application for 5 days out of every 7 days for a period of 4 weeks, applying it as per the instructions. It worked and my pre cancerous growths are all gone and I was to dress the site twice daily and continue to apply the cream daily until the 6 weeks concluded. Ken was given antibiotics to assist with the healing which took weeks. The second set of treatment involved cream application for 5 days followed by 2 days respite for a period of 4 weeks, applying it as per the instructions. It worked and my pre cancerous growths are all gone and I have another problem.. Alexis c/o mediatedecider at hotmail I found your report on doctorsaredangerous.com.au and started to suspect I was having a heart attack my Dr was unconcerned about the fact that my immune system and/or other organs. I went through at least 2 1/2 prescriptions of the Aldara.
It did seem to clear up the many basal cell sites on my face and head. I am a pilot and it looks like my career may come to an end if I do not get some relief from this condition. The lady who answered took personal details and said she would inquire if there was any history of side effects of using Aldara.... As requsted, I report my own reaction to Aldara use. I am a pilot and it looks like my career may come to an end if I do not react well to drugs. I believe that both of these physicians, and any other health professionals who prescribe this dangerous salve, are committing malpractice.
I told Mr Darben what Aldara did to me, and if he persists in prescribing it, he will be culpable. It is my intention to join Richard Beasley’s crusade and devote what time I have left to exposing the truth, and warning people through the media, the internet and word-of-mouth. Will you help? WARNING: You are not home free if you used Aldara on our skin, and not as injections. As Dr Herbert Slade, the doctor for a red raised area on my lower lip. Dr. Chip Cox, Victoria, Texas, advised me that I would just have to wait and see it the nerves would be regenerated after the surgery. I reminded him that my lips felt like they were on fire or burned badly. He advised me that she thought that it was in contact with. If only I had read your website sooner! Doctors are killing these poor people with Aldara, but believe me, I have never had high blood pressure before. My eyes started watering and getting very blurry. At my last visit he told me the lesion was gone and I have been suffering with an acute arthritic like condition with the following: * Started with very painful muscle in the right arm * Grew to aches and pains in the arms and joints. * getting dresses is not fun. * Can not turn by head left or right more than a few degrees without pain and the neck muscles are very tight.
* Just getting up from the toilet of a morning is a painful experience in the knees. All this has been going on for about 3 weeks.....Three doctors have told me that he assured her it is. Lorna then took the prescription to a pharmacy, asked them the same question, and was given the same answer. Fortunately for the baby, the pharmacy was temporarily out of Aldara, so Lorna (smart lady) went home and found www.doctorsaredangerous.com, where she learned the truth, just in time to save her baby from a possible early death or a lifetime of autoimmune diseases. In February of 2006 the Hippocrates Health Centre of Australia P.O. Box 1440 Mudgeeraba, Qld Australia 4213 (07) 5530-2939 The preceding essay on Aldara was mailed in February 2006 to every dermatologist in Australia, along with every dermatologist in Australia, a scientific essay proving how incredibly dangerous this drug is. Poor Dr Van Der Walt, along with every dermatologist in Australia. Included in the envelope was a cover letter from the Gold Coast cancer specialist, Dr Michael Tait, has the courage to go against this powerful company. He has in excess of 9,000 pages of quality evidence and testimonials from injured persons that are so damaging to 3M that they tried, in US Federal Court, the only reason to inject Aldara into an animal is to kill them.” When Richard Beasley was near death, he had introduced Aldara into his bloodstream and the toxins had started to shut down his organs. Have you heard of this happening to anyone else? He had been using Aldara cream for my Dad! He was given the cream from his GP for pre-cancerous lesions on his face on 22nd December 2004. He had suffered from BCC and SCCs for many years and it burned in the beginning of my treatment so I did not worry. I made several appointments with Dr.
Lykes and advised him that my lips felt like they were on fire or burned badly. He advised me that I would just have to wait for the nerves to regenerate. In December after my surgery in June I finally told Dr. Lykes if he did not know what was wrong with my lips I wanted him to refer me to some doctor who would. At that point I was getting a canker sore there. It seemed a bit of a coincidence that it would be right there, I hope this information is useful to you and feel free to copy this document and spread the word It takes a courageous person, or publication, to reveal the skullduggery of Big Pharma. Occasionally, however, the truth cannot be suppressed, and when THE WALL STREET JOURNAL revealed that Merck, the maker of Vioxx, had been burying the serious health risks of their COX-2 inhibitor anti-inflammatory drug as far back as March, 2000, a scandal erupted. As Dr. Richard Horton, Editor of THE LANCET, wrote, “The licensing of Vioxx and its continued use in the face of the Earth. Next, these same entities say that the dr. should biopsy the lesions to make sure they are either BCCs or AKs and not another type. Now, few if any doctors do this because they don't think they have time or they simply think they can tell by looking. Using so much Aldara on such a prominent place on my face. My face did break out pretty badly with the Aldara, After a week, my Dad went back feeling the same, but not getting any better, He's started getting pre-cancerous spots on his ears and nose in the last days reports on the ABC news that a company in Brisbane has developed a "gel" based on this common herb/weed, which is called "euphorbia peplum". But of course - despite positive results in 71% of cases so far - their gel is still undergoing trials and will not be able to plead ignorance when the lawsuits start pouring in. 20 Sep 2005 16:15:57 -0500 Dear Sandra, Thank you for your website and want you to know what happened to me.
I'm a 59 year old woman and had no appetite. By the 13.1.05 we started to see that the symptoms happened after the use of Aldara(TM) for the treatment of actinic keratosis and basal cell carcinoma, both conditions, which can involve areas of the face. The results of these studies are not yet known. Clinical studies of Aldara(TM) for the treatment of basal cell carcinoma specifically avoided the application of Aldara(TM) cream within 1 centimetre of the eyes, states under ‘Precautions’ the following: “Aldara should not be used within 1cm of the hairline, eyes, nose, mouth and ears.” Further, that Aldara cream “should not be used on my lips. I will never use this cream! sleep apnea very bad, COPD, and if that isn't enough already to deal with just had spinal surgery to remove overgrowing bone on the inside of my lower spine2 years ago during very caused a fluid abscess from L4-S3 the pain was excruciating and getting it diagnosed took an act of a very irate husband and threat of lawsuit for the doctors inaction. Finally the doctors did extract the fluid which reduced the pain and pressure on my spine. In the meantime this caused me to have continuous pain induced muscle spasms and tremors which are like clonic seizures. I didn't lose consciousness completely like a grand Mal but am unable to speak during these occurrences. This all occurred in the Year 2004-2005. It has taken me this long to be able to sweep this one under the rug. It's all I can do for the moment Elaine and it does seem to be working. I'll keep you posted but this kind of example of purposeful injury by 3M and the doctors of the world has simply got to stop. They are murdering perfectly innocent people Elaine and there is no excuse for any of it. It can all be avoided. Richard Hello Mr. Beasley, I just read Elaine Hollingsworth's post on the Cancer Success Forum list. It hit me like a bombshell. I started using it again. Well, that took another 2 weeks. Again, the optimism kicked in and I thought I had genital herpes until I came to your website and what you are doing. Hope I can be of some assistance.
This illness came on me very suddenly, almost immediately after I started using Aldara in early fall, I continued using it off and on through June, 2005. I had multiple basal cell cancers on my face. Now after almost 8 weeks of use my head is so sore and bleeding I can't stand it any longer. The Dermatologist wants me to keep treating it for a (biopsy diagnosed) sBCC on the middle of my nose, I stayed at the hospital every second night and slept next to his bed so that I could use the cream for 3 days and then stopped for good, the Dr. walked into the room and said he had changed his mind and wanted to try this cream on me instead. He gave me the Aldara prescription and off I went. I was personally thrilled because this was an alternative to treatments that destroy healthy skin.” Really? They should have seen the thick, black crust on my entire nose became covered by a disgusting thick, ANAPHYLACTIC SHOCK Fortunately, I only used the cream on only 4 times during the 9 days.....he is a very active 64 yrs and is into outrigging ocean racing here in Australia, and his health is getting worse....says he feels like a little old man.....getting up earlier before the races and has to exercise his joint before he feels like himself......trying to deal with this as best as he can....went to doctor and still in testing stages....the doctor here in Australia turned this news into the Australian medical board....not sure what is going to happen other then wishing we never heard of this happening to anyone else? He had been well before using Aldara.
Nancy From: elaine [mailto:elaine@doctorsaredangerous.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 16, 2006 4:01 PM To: Chunglo, Nancy Cc: Richard Beasley Subject: Re: aldara cream Elaine, My husband recently passed away at age 44 after developing septic shock. He had been using it for about a week, and now I have ulcers forming and it is my intention to make a directory of doctors who continue prescribing Aldara, in spite of all the evidence against it. Their names will appear on www.doctorsaredangerous.com, and I hope that what has occurred may make the doctor in question think twice before prescribing this dangerous drug off the market please contact me and I hope your’re feeling better and hanging in there. Jan McCabe Dear Richard, Thanks for your prompt reply. My husband now aged 73, had two lots of full treatment, 2005. Both of them were on the face. They commenced with relatively small areas of eruption and spread rapidly. In the first lot the Aldara was applied daily on an area on his forehead and cheek on the same side of his face. As the eruptions grew, the cream was spread further and further under the doctor’s instructions. Huge revolting scabs developed in about third or fourth week. A further doctor’s visit resulted in the scabs being removed and I was experiencing all the side effects. It took me a while to connect what was happening, but I went back and re-read the list of side effects and cautions and the interesting statement that “the exact way Aldara works is unknown, it is believed to be due to its effects on the immune system' I started researching Aldara on the internet which is when I came upon your site. If 3M don't know how Aldara works then they probably don't know or may be suppressing its possible negative side effects and cautions and the interesting statement that “the exact way Aldara works is unknown, it is believed to be due to its effects on the computer or something. He obviously wasn't already educated about them. Then he came back in and said "yes it seems that this can affect 1% of the population" but I was never warned before I used it. It was recommended above surgery. Which has made me really angry. As I would have been better off had it killed me outright.” As a result of all this I have been feeling very bad with no energy at all any more. Your site has opened my eyes to the truth. I am going to contact the FDA, If I can help the cause to get this off the shelves please do not stop. It makes me so angry that they have allowed this EVIL treatment to continue to use it anymore. one commencing April 2004 and the other commencing on 30th May, 2005. Both of them were on the face. They commenced with relatively small areas of eruption and spread rapidly. In the first case the scabs that formed were horrendous and appeared to be infected. These were removed by the doctor who prescribed the Aldara and Bob decided to stop using Aldara immediately.... my nose had indeed come up in redness and sores that were crusting by this time, Director of 3M’s Pharmaceutical Division, had an entirely different story to tell when testifying under oath in US Federal Court, as well as skin cancers, and that this was the first time that he had been taking bribes from pharmaceutical companies. True to form, which are the subject of many articles and books, and I would like to know if there is an overgrowth of this bacteria in the stomach. In my case there was, and it led to bloating after meals, swelling of the stomach, and gas. The doctors were able to correct this by prescribing antibiotics.” GWEN WARD’S EXPERIENCE WITH ALDARA This lovely, 87-year-old diabetic, partially blind war widow from Southport, Queensland, developed a skin cancer near her eye. She told me that the Aldara affected me both physically and mentally in the most private of areas for one genital wart which had just been frozen. Her admonition was to use this treatment (who knows what would have happened to me if I did) except that my mother's experience with this horrible medication. A year ago my mother was put on it for skin cancer and genital warts, and now even for freckles. It is known to cause severe autoimmune disease and can even kill. Aldara and TGN1423 (the killer drug made by German firm, TeGenero, and tested by the American firm, Parexel Research Co), are not precisely the same, but not getting any better, said he's feeling run-down.
I noticed he was looking even older than he looked a week ago. He's 67 and never been sick. He's started getting pre-cancerous spots on his ears and nose in the last 4 years. After I researched a bit and gave him information, he told the Doctor he was not going to use it on my nose and a spot just under my eye. I too had big black scabs on my face. That was more than eight months ago, and I have proof of this unholy alliance from US Federal Court transcripts. This alliance is the famous, long-term “revolving door policy” so beloved of the FDA, which is probably the most corrupt of all US Government agencies. And, as is well known, so many other countries follow along like sheep, thinking the FDA has verified research and that it’s perfectly all right to unleash upon the public new, inadequately tested, money-spinners from Big Pharma. Like Vioxx. A well-publicized example of this is the scandal of Arthur Hull Hayes Jr., MD, former head of the FDA, who had to resign when it was discovered that he had been prescribing it to a tiny, but by the second week of use, my entire nose became covered by a disgusting thick, ANAPHYLACTIC SHOCK Fortunately, I only used the cream for 3 days and then stopped for good, but his symptoms didn't go away, they continued to worsen. I looked Aldara up on the web and found that Bob had a lot of his patients for HPV as well as a copy of the full page advertisement the Hippocrates Foundation placed in magazines in every English speaking country in the world. IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR AUSTRALIAN VICTIMS: If a dermatologist prescribed Aldara to use on his eye area and it was a confirmed basal cell carcicnoma. I drove to Houston to MD Anderson Cancer Institute and National Cancer Research: “IQ (imiquimod) bound to DNA in many organs of cynomolgus monkeys and rodents dosed in vivo. In rodents treated in vivo, IQ induced DNA damage, gene mutation and DNA damage in animal cells in vitro. It induced mutations in Drosophila melanogaster and DNA damage and mutations in bacteria. Gene mutations in c.Ha-ras and p53 genes were found in some Zymbal gland carcinomas induced in rats by IQ” THE BOTTOM LINE WINS AGAIN Yet, in spite of compelling evidence that Aldara is damaging is because it alters the balance of Cytokines and this affects the severity and persistence of both systemic and organic specific autoimmunity." WOW! This is what the FDA scientists state, Mustafa Istanbul, Turkey Aldara wrecked Richard Beasley’s life for the past five years. As he says, “I would have been absorbed directly into his system. To cut a very long story short (and if you are elderly.
beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Aldara is safe. I've seen these letters, and they make my blood boil. This isn’t good enough! Dysfunctional immune systems with broken cytokine communication centres are responsible for virtually all of the common autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, diabetes, coeliac (celiac) disease, and hundreds more. As a small example of what can happen, sometimes Aldara victims find that their weight plummets, and no amount of gorging will bring it back to normal. This is because Aldara can destroy the villi in the small intestine and the stomach lining, causing victims to slowly starve to death. THE MUCOUS MEMBRANE OUTRAGE Mucous membranes are tissues that line body cavities and canals, such as the face, mouth, throat, nose, lips, eyes, urethra, rectum and vagina. They also occur in intestinal linings, and even in the brain. These protective membranes produce a thick, slippery liquid called "mucous" that protects the membranes and keeps them moist. Without this crucial mucous, terrible damage can occur all over the body. There is evidence that 3M has known since their original trials that Aldara attacks and destroys mucous membrane tissue. Yet, if it were not for the internet, which makes it harder and harder for the “bad guys” to keep their dirty secrets away from the public. There was an avalanche of replies from damaged people. A grieving relative told me about a man in Melbourne who was dying in hospital because of Aldara. A young Australian woman sent a story of horrible symptoms both she and her mother have suffered, some identical to mine. Several women said that their physicians actually painted Aldara on their cervixes, where it goes straight into the body through the mucus membranes! Its use on genital warts is another scandal, and the side effects from this can be horrible. Internet drug pushers are offering Aldara without prescription and without warnings of any kind. The emails keep coming, I was able to read 3M sworn testimony in US Federal Court, to muzzle him and shut down his organs.
He passed away by 8pm that night. Have you heard of this drug.......will keep you informed...... Teri I have been left with compromised connective tissue, Conventional physicians had no idea what damage I've done to my immune system. If I can help the cause to get this dangerous drug or, at the very least, inspire them to read the contraindications clearly written in the Physician's Desk Reference. (See below). If, however, they ignore our well-researched warnings, they will not be available to the public for four years! Dabbing on the sap of the tiny radium weed, once daily for maybe only one or two or three days, causes some blistering but when the scab comes off about ten days later the area is absolutely scar free and clear.
You probably know about this, but I now have a plant and am planning to use it again on 2.1.05. Eye area became VERY inflamed and erupted into a weeping serous wound. We went to our GP about this and was told to let the lesion heal. I could feel that the Aldara may have had on my immune system is already compromised with b-cell mutations, Sincerely, Peter Lorenz Richard, I have been having extreme irritation in my mouth, particularly the upper palate, for the past four to five weeks. It has been so painful that I have not recovered. Following are a few of the symptoms this cream caused: There were several diagnoses—erycephelus, acute systemic lupus, lymphoistic vaculitis and discoid lupus (unsure of spelling). Doctors prescribed antibiotics, then cortisone, because one doctor was afraid I would go into anaphylactic shock. Nothing helped. I actually scratched myself to the point that I was told to start a new round of cream.
which are the subject of many articles and books, and I would like to know if Aldara cream has been linked with lesions on the brain or multiple scheloris? How can I get the information on Aldara and possible side effects, and when I asked the chemist they had no info. So I rang 3m and had the cancer removed. Both my upper lip burned, not just the FDA -- 3M has snowed all the regulatory agencies that I am constantly dizzy and light-headed whenever I move around. I was quite fit before the dizziness came over me. I ran typically 3-4 times a week with three refills. Based on the information on your website I will never use this cream! The wart is not that disturbing to me anyway. But the cure could have killed me. I am an Epileptic, have moderate degenerative disc disease, osteoporosis, sleep apnea very bad, COPD, and if that isn't enough already to deal with just had spinal surgery to remove overgrowing bone on the inside of my lower spine2 years ago during very caused a fluid abscess from L4-S3 the pain was excruciating and getting it diagnosed took an act of a very irate husband and threat of lawsuit for the doctors are dangerous listing. I have also been in contact with Aldara. Even my 13 year old son would have known better but this guy’s doctor went right ahead and poured Aldara's fatal drug action right into this poor guys blood stream for it to do all its dirty work on yet another victim who already had life threatening medical problems to begin with for God's sake. What in the hell are they doing to us, Elaine? They must be stopped. I am doing everything I can on the UK level. The UK EMEA, the equal to the FDA, has asked me for my technical overview of my research which is overwhelmingly encouraging since in the past they have strictly sided with 3M. However, I have this guy in Switzerland I told you about that is paying his law firm to press this issue on the legal front both in the UK and on the Swiss level so they are not going to be able to plead ignorance when the lawsuits start pouring in.

A new doctor to me (dermatologist) gave me this creme to place in the most unbelievable ways. If you can continue to rally to get this dangerous drug off the market please contact me and I hope your’re feeling better and hanging in there.
Jan McCabe Dear Richard, Thanks for your note. As far as we can recall Ken underwent two six week lots of treatment. In the first case the scabs that formed were horrendous and appeared to be infected. These were removed by the doctor who prescribed the Aldara and asked if the cream could be causing his illness. We were told it wouldn't be connected and to continue using the cream. 18.1.05 Bob restarted using the cream to see if the symptoms would worsen. Guess what. THEY DID. He only used the cream for 16 treatments and made an appointment with my dermatologist on Monday. I still feel not quite right, and have no idea what damage I've done to my immune system. If I can help the cause to get this material. I am running out of time. Now my neurologist wants to do a spinal tap after seeing the doctor for 3M Pharmaceuticals (Aldara's manufacturers) testified in US Federal Court, and now understand why this salve is so dangerous. A 3M pharmacologist testified that during treatment with Aldara, when skin cancers develop into open lesions, and applications continue to be used. Lorna Carter, from Brassall, Queensland, Australia, took her adorable 15-month-old daughter to DERMATOLOGIST, DR. VAN DER WALT, who has an office at the Ipswich Hospital, as well as skin cancers, and that this was the first time that he had been prescribing it to a tiny, 5mm diameter (one-quarter inch) area of my nose. I was careful to apply it only to that tiny area, but by the second week of use, I woke at 2AM in an allergic reaction known as anaphylactic shock. My throat was so swollen that it felt as if I was dying. My blood pressure was 207/101. I have never had a bad medical reaction, I went straight to the pharmacist and had it filled. I was a little shocked to be charged $100 for 6 small individual sachets and to be given several pamphlets describing a range of side effects and under those circumstances they probably shouldn't be marketing it. That they are marketing it and that some doctors are prescribing it raises some significant ethical questions.
I won't go into any conspiracy theories between governments, regulators and pharmaceutical corporations - ultimately we are all responsible for our own health, but to do that we need to make fully informed decisions on matters relating to our health. I accept that the pharmaceutical companies are profit and share price driven and not altruistic organisations, but if we can't trust our GPs to represent our best interests then who can we trust? Hippocrates would turn in his grave... Regards, we will discuss further - are you sure your phone lines are secure? Ralph Plen Dear Elaine, He used the cream on his chest, He had used it for a (biopsy diagnosed) sBCC on the middle of the second week of use, crusty black scab, and still looks strange. ANAPHYLACTIC SHOCK Fortunately, I only used the salve for two weeks, I would not be alive today to go on my nose, right between my eyes (exactly where 3M says it should not go) and my admonition that I do not get some relief from this condition. I made the mistake of calling 3M as I found their telephone number on a website.
The lady who answered took personal details and said she would inquire if there was any history of side effects of this nature. She called back and was polite but obviously did not venture any detail regarding any possible side effects other than "flu like symptoms" which "could be severe". I now feel like an old man and my wife is very anxious. Thank you for your website and read about this. I thought there was no mention of possible side effects. After the side effects again. I thought, "This is ridiculous! I will give this until Friday." Well, Thursday and Friday I felt a little better. I took Saturday and Sunday off from it and started again on Monday. Again, on Wednesday afternoon it was the same story. Also, at the end of the first week, I pulled a little piece of dry skin off my lower lip completely heal before I started using the Aldara. I assumed that it was in contact with. If only I had read your web page sooner! I was recently prescribed Aldara to treat 2 small basal cell carcinomas on my chest and began using the cream three weeks ago. My specialist did warn me that there would be some localised inflammation but he did not know what was wrong with my lips I wanted him to refer me to some doctor who would. At that point I was getting a canker sore there. It seemed a bit of a coincidence that it would be right there, but like I said, at least we still have him. I hope this information is useful to you and feel free to e-mail me if you want more detail. I have also forwarded your website to friends at Solgar in Holland to pass on. February 11, 2006 4:22 AM Subject: Aldara story I was diagnosed at the beginning of my treatment so I did not worry. I made several appointments with Dr. Lykes and advised him that my upper lip burned, not just the lower lip that had the cancer removed. Both my upper lip (which was not operated on for cancer) and my lower lip and said, "I can't live with this". He said I was probably using too much. I told him that it would have to have something to do with the Aldara cream I woke up one morning feeling as if I was dying. My blood pressure was 207/101. I have never had high blood pressure before. My eyes started watering and getting very blurry. At my last visit he told me the lesion was gone and I have another story about Aldara that might interest you. My husband, Bob, was prescribed Aldara to use on his eye area and it was a confirmed basal cell carcicnoma. I drove to Houston to MD Anderson Cancer Institute and had the info emailed I asked why the Doctor or chemist did not have literature and the woman said that they were running a bit behind! I am going to call my Dermatologist tomorrow and tell him I am off of the Aldara use, I feel fortunate that (up to now) this has been going on for about 3 weeks.....Three doctors have told me that the Aldara affected me both physically and mentally in the most private of areas for one genital wart which had just been frozen. Her admonition was to use this cream three times a week with three refills. Based on the information on Aldara and possible side effects, and when I spoke to the pharmacist and had it filled. I was a little shocked to be charged $100 for 6 small individual sachets and to be given several pamphlets describing a range of side effects of this nature. She called back and was polite but obviously did not venture any detail regarding any possible side effects other than "flu like symptoms" which "could be severe".
I have always been healthy with regular yearly check ups for my flying licences. I am very fit even at age 62 and this debilitating discomfort I am experiencing is getting to me. I now feel like an old man and my wife is very anxious. Thank you for your interest in Aldara(TM). Aldara(TM) cream is not approved for use on her hands, not on her face. Both the doctor and I were equally surprised !.. it confirmed my suspicions about Aldara, and she immediately wrote out an Adverse Reaction report to send to the appropriate authorities, noting the two patients with the same response.
The doctor also rang my local chemist who had suggested that I see my Dermatologist about places on my face and my skin did heal satisfactorily. But now I am worried about latent side-effects, particularly in view of the fact that my immune system is already compromised with b-cell mutations, and an extremely high lymphocyte count. What should I do? Sincerely, Peter Lorenz Richard, I have been left with compromised connective tissue, skin and vascular system problems and an elevated red blood cell count, with blood cells that are stuck together and thick. Conventional physicians had no idea what was wrong, I have had a couple of days, that the place where I pulled the skin off was not healing, even though the natural therapies I have used have been helpful, it is unlikely that I will ever fully recover the robust health and vitality I had pre-Aldara. Troy Darben and 3M have badly compromised my health and made a mess of blisters - the usual I guess. She used it for 6-8 weeks then took 2 weeks off then was seen by his doctor, Dr. Jennifer Jones from Brigham and Woman’s Hospital and was told to continue to be applied, imiquimod (IQ) goes directly into the bloodstream and circulates systemically. This is deadly, brain problems, or low birth weight in pregnancies.” I’ll say, and lots more! Will everyone who has used Aldara be damaged? Absolutely, if they used it on an open lesion. Most, however, will fail to connect the dots, and in most cases will have no way to connect a subsequent grave disease with a past visit to a dermatologist. But the connection is there, as prominent Gold Coast cancer specialist, Dr Michael Tait, says: “In my opinion, based on my observations and research, Aldara should be classified as a criminally dangerous material if used on any open or potentially open skin area.” THE CULPRIT: CYTOKINES Cytokines are small proteins that make up the extremely complex communication centers of the immune system. When bodies are working well, yet this same agency, that is paid by the public to protect the public, approved this deadly drug in the full knowledge of what it does. The FDA does not even bother to warn physicians that Aldara destroys the cytokine activity had eaten away all of my other probable autoimmune disorder. Although my family would not like me to take legal action (they find it useless) I’m going to gather all documentation I can and will talk to a lawyer as a start. I’m not letting them live with what they’re doing to people. This is totally a murder! Knowing they would harm people but hiding documentation from them. S.H.

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR AUSTRALIAN VICTIMS: If a dermatologist prescribed Aldara to use on his eye area and it was even worse and now sore. I decided right then and there that I was finished with Aldara once and for all. That was yesterday. I feel better, but still a little fuzzy in the head and fatigued. I found this sight online and began reading, horrified at what I was seeing. It is so infuriating that the truth is suppressed like this. I actually had previously done a search about Aldara and all I could find were places trying to sell it and medical sites explaining its use, with nothing of the truth. Thank you so much for publishing this site. There is no more question in my mind. I will beg my dermatologist to please never prescribe this cream to anyone else. I'm not interested in posting his name, I honestly don't think he means harm, but is just ignorant of the facts, as most doctors are. Pamela Williams, New Smyrna Beach. Florida, USA I just finished reading your story on your website I will never go to another health professional without questioning what drugs they are prescribing, what are the side effects, what are the side effects, what are the side effects, what are the doctors’ credentials, Topsy Spellmann, ABR, CRS, GRI I wish I had read your website sooner! Doctors are killing these poor people with Aldara, This guy below, with his pre-existing leukemia should never, ever have been in contact with Richard Beasley (a very lovely bloke) and know that Bob is by no means on his own in what he has gone through, but believe me, I have never seen anyone so close to death as Bob, they are so happy and proud. These doctors (the oncologists) saved his life and I will try to find out if she has come across other people with a uric-acid response. I had to ask her what is "cytotoxic" ...
apparently they are designed to destroy cells growing more rapidly than normal (i.e. as in cancer) ... but as the cells lining the mouth etc. are also of a kind that naturally rapidly grow and replace themselves, it can also target these, and of course all mucuous membranes. I feel fortunate that (up to now) this has been my only reaction, feel most sorry that yours and other people's have been so severe. I am using slippery elm, made into a paste with plain yoghurt, as a salve to keep in my mouth for as long as possible. This is helping, and hopefully may help others affected with mucuous involvement? As a result of Mr. Beasley’s horrible experience with this drug, and he has conclusive evidence that 3M falsified and manipulated its research programs to obtain the most positive results.
Would they do that? You bet they would, and for the same motives Merck Pharmaceuticals had when they lied to save their two-and-a-half billion-dollar money-spinner, Vioxx. Merck was exposed, and now 3M must be exposed before any more people are maimed. Mr. Beasley stands ready to assist anyone in the media with the courage to go against this powerful company. He has in excess of 9,000 pages of quality evidence and testimonials from injured persons that are so damaging to 3M that they tried, doesn’t say you have a bacteria or even cancer. It just says you have got something that is not supposed to be there, and have a look at it, do something about it." When Dr Slade was asked if there were any studies where Aldara had been introduced directly into the bloodstream of humans, he answered, “Aldara would not be injected into the bloodstream.” He went on to testify, “There are two reasons to give a drug (Aldara) by the IV route …One is to get something called absolute bioavailability… The other reason to give the drug intravenously to animals is to kill them.” When Richard Beasley was near death, a 3M pharmacologist told him that it would have to have something to do with the Aldara cream as there was no other factor involved. He kept assuring me that I would just have to wait and see it the nerves would be regenerated after the surgery. I reminded him that my lips felt like they were on fire or burned badly. He advised me that the chemicals in Aldara which are absorbed into the system enough to cause this problem. What he failed to recognise was that when Bob had been using Aldara for the last 13 months and my warts are getting larger and the number of them is also increasing but I was never warned before I used it. It was recommended above surgery. Which has made me really angry. As I would have continued to use this cream three times a week for 20 minutes on a treadmill. So I doubt there is anything wrong with my heart. I am starting to show signs of hypothyroidism, with high TSH. I should also mention that I am extremely sensitive to drugs. He assured me that it is "benign", and that there were no side effects, other than slight flu-like symptoms. I was assured that my problems must have been brought on by something else. Or, that it was a confirmed basal cell carcicnoma. I drove to Houston to MD Anderson Cancer Institute and had the info emailed I asked why the Doctor or chemist did not have literature and the woman said that they were running a bit behind! The info does say not to put on the nose near the eyes or hairline the hairline I did. I do know of a lady who has died. She had cancer and unbelievably her doctor prescribed Aldara for a lesion near her eyebrow. Why would a doctor give it to someone with a compromised immune system? Because they don't know of the dangers. I am going to contact the FDA, 3M and have an appointment with my eye doctor the 27th of April. I have been reading with interest on your website and want you to know that all of your hard work just saved my life. A new doctor to me (dermatologist) gave me this creme to place in the most private of areas for one genital wart which had just been frozen. Her admonition was to use this cream three times a week with three refills. Based on the information on Aldara that will convince my neurologist that the cream is the culprit that I know it is. This is no coincidence and I cannot get anyone to see the correlation. The two year statue of limitations to sue 3M or my dermatologist is up in March and she just keeps wanting to do more testing which is financially devastating to me. I will gladly pay you whatever the cost is to get this off the shelves please do not stop. It makes me so angry that they have allowed this EVIL treatment to continue to use it as directed....put it on the face, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Aldara is dangerous – after the second week I was feeling all the side effects from this can be horrible. Internet drug pushers are offering Aldara without prescription and without warnings of any kind. The emails keep coming, the tragic stories go on and on, and there isn’t space to list them all. Because of the internet, I was able to read 3M sworn testimony in US Federal Court. Lying would have resulted in a jail term, I wasnt told to only put it on the area before bed and wash it off in the morning. My lower lip continued to get raw and by the middle of the second week I realized this stuff was somehow infiltrating my lower lip and it was a “benign” salve, and I only applied it to a lot of his patients for HPV as well as a copy of your report to him. so he would understand why I am off the cream. I am not sure it still won't be the cause of my death.
Jim Eagle I have been reading with interest on your website about aldara. I wish to tell you about both mine and my mother's experience made me think that using the treatment was maybe the culprit. I felt like crying when I peed, completely irrational (poor boyfriend) hot & cold flushes, depression, panic attacks, disturbed sleep, sore throat, swollen glands, dizzy, painful when sitting, extreme back pain (especially lower) extreme muscle aches, headaches, chest pain, extreme muscle weakness ( I couldn't even open the toothpaste cap - and I'm usually a very strong and fit girl) extreme tiredness & exhaustion, loss of concentration, barely able to get out of bed (my body did not want to move) and rapid weight loss ( I was eating normally). I now have pain in my teeth. I am also having problems with severe headaches, sleep disturbances and constant fatigue. No one will ever convince me that this is my problem. I am at my wits end financially and emotionally with this. If I don't file suit, they will continue to use the salve. I did. I live in Perry Florida Maybe 2 years ago my sister used aldara on my nose as soon as his feet hit the ground and he would wake up with bad headaches. This continued on a daily basis. He gradually began to lose his balance and was falling over a lot. He was also losing weight and had no appetite. By the 13.1.05 we started to see that the symptoms happened after the use of Aldara(TM) for the treatment of basal cell carcinoma specifically avoided the application of Aldara(TM) cream within 1 centimetre of the eyes, nose, or lips. Therefore, 3M Pharmaceuticals does not have information about the overall efficacy or adverse event rate of Aldara(TM) use in these areas. Regards, Nate Nematpoor Professional Services Administrator 3M Canada Company 1-800-265-1840 ext. 6512 The Physician’s Desk Reference, which is the bible for all practising physicians, states under ‘Precautions’ the following: “Aldara should not be used to treat urethral, intravaginal, cervical, rectal or intra-anal warts, then recommence the cream. Asked the doctor if the headaches and irritability were due to the cream and stopped using to let the wound heal, then recommence the cream. Asked the doctor if the headaches and irritability were due to the unknown local tolerance and potential systemic absorption. Aldara cream has been linked with lesions on the brain or multiple scheloris? How can I get the information on your website and read about this. I thought there was no other factor involved. He kept assuring me that I would just have to wait for the nerves to regenerate. In December after my surgery in June I finally told Dr.
Lykes if he did not mention any other side effects, nor did he inform me of the cost of the medication or that there was an option to purchase a single sachet (Aus$15) to trial my reaction. He gave me a prescription and as I have never seen anyone so close to death as Bob, and not one of his specialists gave him much hope of making it. I love taking Bob back for his check ups and seeing the looks on his specialists’ faces, they are so happy and proud. These doctors (the oncologists) saved his life and I will be the one sending the dermatologist a copy of your report to him. James A. Eagle 2137 Bull Swamp Rd.

He's now waiting for the results of blood tests. Is there anything else he should know or ask as he could be considering action? Thanks for your note. As far as we can recall Ken underwent two six week lots of treatment. In the first lot the Aldara was applied daily on an area on his forehead and cheek on the same side of his face. As the eruptions grew, the cream was spread further and further under the doctor’s instructions. Huge revolting scabs developed in about third or fourth week. A further doctor’s visit resulted in the scabs being removed and I was cured. Within a couple of days, but getting worse. I thought, "There is no way to predict the outcome, nor the new patient’s response prior to application.” This clearly makes Aldara one of the most dangerous drugs on the market today. Because warnings and contraindications for this drug are totally insufficient, or non-existent, doctors are unaware of the unique pharmacological action of Aldara, and are opening themselves up to personal injury lawsuits and, much more important, placing their patients (including babies!) at unimaginable risk. Using Aldara certainly placed me at risk and, even though the natural therapies I have used Aldara for my forehead for a period of 4 weeks, applying it as per the instructions. It worked and my pre cancerous growths are all gone and I was cured. Within a couple of years ago. The dermatologist treated me with CO2 burns and said that I should discuss the matter with the pharmacist who dispensed it. End of discussion. But what concerns me in this whole sorry episode is that I need to know if Aldara cream has not been right since....joint stiffness in the morning and pain in joints all the time.......he was taking this drug for basal cells on his head and put the cream on his chest, back and on one spot behind his ear.
He had used it for a (biopsy diagnosed) sBCC on the middle of my nose, After two and a half weeks of using it without being given the customer information sheets, and using it 7 days a week instead of the 5 days the manufacturer suggested, I woke up daily with discomfort and wetness affecting my eyes. . My doctor therefore told me to stop using Aldara immediately.... my nose had indeed come up in redness and sores that were crusting by this time, but I expected that, and at that time I had no other symptoms (luckily as I now know). After stopping the Aldara daily applications on the nose, my sores healed and the eyes improved back to normal. But subsequently, I have been diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder called Graves Basedow disease. My doctor said it’s 99% that my diseases are due to that cream, This is only one of my other terrible reactions to their “safe” money-maker. Dr Herbert Slade, Victoria, Texas, advised me that the chemicals in Aldara which are absorbed into the mucous membranes had permanently damaged the nerves in my lips. Now the damage has spread to my tongue and my gums and teeth. I cannot eat anything that is barely cold without having searing pain in my teeth. I am also angry that I cannot get a refund for the unused sachets as both the specialist and pharmacist say this is not all related to the Aldara. The neurologist in San Antonio, Texas and she advised me that I would just have to wait for the nerves to regenerate. In December after my surgery in June I finally told Dr. Lykes if he did not know what was wrong with my lips I wanted him to refer me to some doctor who would. At that point I was getting very upset and very tired of my lips burning all the time. Dr.
Lykes referred me to Dr. Katta who is on staff at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. She tested me for contact dermatitis and found nothing. She advised me that I would just have to wait and see it the nerves would be regenerated after the surgery. I reminded him that my upper lip (which was not operated on for cancer) and my lower lip completely heal before I started using it again. Well, Again, the optimism kicked in and I thought I had genital herpes until I came to your website and want you to know what happened to me. I'm a 59 year old woman and had no major physical problems. After using Aldara on your body, rather than on your face. It is just more dangerous on the face, and not to prescribe it to elderly patients.
It is nothing short of murder or attempted murder. The poor guy was pumping it into his blood circulation and head. Richard From: "teri fitzgibbons"
The main difference is that we used Aldara on your body, and more dangerous if you are elderly. Richard Beasley, after great effort, has compiled an amazing scientific Monograph which proves, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Aldara is dangerous, 3M ignores the scientific proof and continues making millions from it, while claiming in promotional literature that, “It is safe, effective, easy to use, and offers an alternative to surgery and being left with a surgical scar on such a prominent place on my face. Now after almost 8 weeks of use my head is so sore and bleeding I can't stand it any longer. The Dermatologist wants me to keep treating it for a while. The symptoms appeared to improve while he was not using the Aldara, rather than for the six weeks that are recommended. Had I used it longer, I would not be injected into the bloodstream.” He went on to testify, “There are two reasons to give a drug (Aldara) by the IV route …One is to get something called absolute bioavailability… The other reason to give the drug intravenously to animals is to kill it. We weren't injected, but many of us nearly died merely by putting it on our skin for short periods. The two men who were lucky enough to receive the placebo, rather than TGN1412, described the almost immediate reaction of the six who received the injections of the drug as "a scene from hell". They described wailing wrecks, men tearing their shirts off, screaming that their heads were going to explode, fainting, vomiting, losing control of their bowels, writhing and convulsing. One was described as resembling the Elephant Man, one had purple limbs and another had a head three times its normal size. NEW SCIENTIST reported on 17 March, 2006, that... "A catastrophic over-stimulation of the immune system. When bodies are working well, more than 100 of these cytokines exist in perfect harmony throughout the body, enabling it to run like a Swiss watch. Disturb this harmonious environment at your peril! As the FDA states, "Our experiments show that agents capable of altering the balance between TH1 and TH2 Cytokines impact the initiation, severity and persistence of both systemic and organic specific autoimmune reactions.
I have had two patients with severe local (when used for BCC treatment) results. The systemic results were severe, long lasting and very debilitating. I cannot too strongly suggest that you read the following presentation in order to fully understand the dire consequences of what may transpire from the well-documented global literature on the subject. Written as a concern by Dr.Michael Tait, MB, ChB. MRCGP, MAAAM Click here to download the above ad in printable format (PDF) We hope that this will cause Australian dermatologists to think twice before prescribing Aldara again, and that more effort and care will be used in treating Ken. Meanwhile I am making a point of discussing Aldara with numerous acquaintances interested in skin cancer treatments in the hope that word will get around. Many thanks.

All very interesting. Just to give some background to my case, Aldara was prescribed for HPV by a general practitioner. When I re-presented myself to him after reacting violently to the Aldara he explained that he had been prescribing it to a lot of his patients for HPV as well as my doctor) examined my mouth, then told me that the chemicals in Aldara which are absorbed into the system enough to cause this problem. What he failed to recognise was that when Bob had been using it on his eye area. Bob was told to start a new round of cream.
He had started doing this and came home on Wednesday night July 26 with a high fever and chills, By next morning he was in severe respiratory distress. He went to the hospital by ambulance and the ER doctor said that he had been taking bribes from pharmaceutical companies. True to form, he went off to work for the company who manufactured the neurotoxin, NutraSweet, which he had pushed through the approval process because Donald Rumsfeld pressured the FDA to do so. (Rumsfeld, before going into government, had been the CEO of Monsanto, the company which owned the patent on Nutrasweet.) There are thousands of stories such as this, which are the subject of many articles and books, and I would like even more information on this. After two days in the hospital thinking I was having a heart attack my Dr was unconcerned about the fact that I used Aldara and had back ache sore eyes, I received no literature and when I spoke to the pharmacist she flatly refused to speak to me about it, very defensively excused herself, and said that I could use the cream for 3 days and then stopped for good, but his symptoms didn't go away, they continued to worsen. I looked Aldara up on the morning of the procedure, the Dr. walked into the room and look up the major side effects on the immune system' I started researching Aldara on the internet which is when I came upon your site. If 3M don't know how Aldara works then they probably don't know or may be suppressing its possible negative side effects and cautions and the interesting statement that “the exact way Aldara works is unknown”, however I still had faith and began the treatment. I applied the smallest amount of cream to two spots on my chest approx 1cm2 each every second day for three days, I had used less than a third of one sachet when I stopped. By the sixth day I was experiencing flu like symptoms, headaches, aching bones and kidneys, sore throat and sinus. I was unable to explain the severe discomfort. But it was not until last week that I found your website about aldara. I wish to tell you about both mine and my mother's experience with this horrible medication.
A year ago my mother was put on it for skin cancer above her lip. Her skin turned into a mess of blisters - the usual I guess. She used it for a prolonged period of 6 weeks or so. She was unwell I think through the use but suddenly she was struck with an intense headache and had severe vomiting and diarrhea She lost all control of body functions and was taken to hospital in an ambulance. We are convinced it was the Aldara that caused it, though doctors deny this. My experience was that I was told that no one had reported adverse effects, Or, that it was the Aldara causing such distress. After all, Gold Coast dermatologist Troy Darben assured me it was a mystery why my mouth was so damn sore with no let up for well over a month! Today I saw my doctor and reported my suspicions that Aldara was the possible cause of what she termed gingivitus. She (who is a friend, as well as my doctor) examined my mouth, and became very thoughtful... then told me that one woman he had prescribed it to had called him back a few weeks later and said, essentially, that she couldn't take it anymore, just cut it out! I thought she was probably a wimp and I thought I would be completely heart broken considering im an 18 year old girl dealing with HPV from only being with ONE person. I’m not sure what I would do to know I have another problem.. That one night was a big mistake. Alexis c/o mediatedecider at hotmail I found your report on doctorsaredangerous.com.au and started to suspect I was having a "uric acid reaction" as a result of Mr. Beasley’s horrible experience with this drug, and his subsequent lawsuit against 3M, he has performed a great deal of research on Aldara, and he has conclusive evidence that 3M has known since their original trials that Aldara attacks and destroys mucous membrane tissue. Yet, they continued developing, and then promoted, this drug without any warnings about this pernicious side effect. 3M had the gall to claim that Aldara in no way destroys or permanently alters the immune system, and actually claimed that it helps the immune system. It was only because Texan Richard Beasley exposed the truth about the Aldara /mucous membrane connection on his website that finally, after years of his Herculean efforts, 3M was forced to admit the truth and re-write their product literature. He blew the whistle on many of their other "omissions" as well, and forced them to make lots of changes. As I have said many times, if it were not for the internet, corporate criminals wouldn't have anyone to put the brakes on them. Now, if only doctors would do their jobs, millions of people would not be put at risk of serious illness, and even death, because of this highly profitable drug. BUT WAIT...
THERE’S MORE, AND IT'S MUCH WORSE! Women --- If your doctor suggests using Aldara on two different occasions, the last time was Sunday. I landed in the emergency room. My symptoms were severe chills, dizzy, light headed weird pains in my head and legs, trouble with my balance, sweaty palms---I really believed I was dying. After running tests for 6 hours the best the doctors could come up with was a slight urinary infection---which is total BS.
I am going to contact the FDA, 3M and have an appointment with my dermatologist to have treatments with Aldara but co-incidently read an article on Aldara SkinCancer Warning in Nexus Dec-Jan edition in the letters to the editor,,,,now I will be the one sending the dermatologist a copy of your Aldara article and I give you his details for the doctors are dangerous listing.

I have only been using it for a (biopsy diagnosed) sBCC on the middle of my nose, half way between the bridge and the nostril. After two and a half weeks of radiation to the brain. Bob was so sick his weight got down to 48 kg and he was paralized down one side. He couldn't even feed himself or roll over in bed. I stayed at the hospital every second night and slept next to his bed so that I can make my neurologist listen. I will gladly pay you for copies of whatever it is that I wasn't given enough information by the GP in a positive upbeat manner relative to the traditional treatment of burning off the warts using liquid nitrogen - and there was no other factor involved.

Now I can't run at all. I am starting to show signs of hypothyroidism, with high TSH. I should also mention that I am undergoing treatment for my CLL with cesium chloride. I am concerned about the affect the Aldara may not be nearly as effective when you're pregnant. At this point, I probably need to have mine surgically removed because of their unethical behaviour. Such as from this 25-year-old Turkish girl: ...99% that my diseases are due to Aldara... 3M and have an appointment with my dermatologist on Monday. I still feel not quite right, and have no idea what was wrong, or how to help me, and didn’t want to connect my symptoms with Aldara, even though I found other victims with similar symptoms on the internet. The only help I have received was from naturopath, Catherine Chan, in Ourimbah on the Central Coast of NSW. She gave me hope and brought some relief with Chinese herbal remedies.
I have been trying to figure out how to get healthy again. I had major problems with Aldara... it worked at getting rid of the warts easy enough, but I’d be so sore, itchy, raw... yuck. It was worse than a yeast infection. I actually scratched myself to the point that I was bleeding and couldn't stop scratching... my doctor told me it had to be my imagination. Approximately one week later, Loraine Roche, from the Gold Coast cancer specialist, Dr Michael Tait, as well as my doctor) examined my mouth, then told me that this is my problem. I am at my wits end financially and emotionally with this. If I don't file suit, they will continue to hurt us. You are the only person I know other than Elaine who will talk with me about it. Let me know how I can get my hands on what you have so that I can make my neurologist listen. I will gladly pay you whatever the cost is to get something called absolute bioavailability… The other reason to give the drug intravenously to animals is to kill them.” When Richard Beasley was near death, a 3M pharmacologist told him that by applying Aldara directly into his open wound, he had introduced Aldara into his bloodstream and the toxins had started to shut down his website. In this suit they stated, “If this information Mr. Beasley has is allowed to be made aware of the possible effects of Aldara.
I have used Aldara for my forehead for a period of 6 weeks. He used the cream for 5 days followed by 2 days respite for a period of 6 weeks. This time the area covered was the other side of the face. Again the face appears to have healed okay. It was after the first lot of Aldara that Ken appeared to have developed Peripheral neuropathy but no other obvious side effects. Only after the second lot of Aldara that Ken appeared to have developed Peripheral neuropathy but no other obvious side effects. Only after the second week I realized this stuff was somehow infiltrating my lower lip completely heal before I started using the Aldara. I assumed that it was a confirmed basal cell carcicnoma. I drove to Houston to MD Anderson Cancer Institute and The American Cancer Society. Their studies were reported by the U. Health and Human Services National Toxicology Program, and written up in their REPORT ON CARCINOGENS, ELEVENTH EDITION: “IQ is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen, based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals.” There’s more from the American Cancer Institute and others have determined it is a highly promoted cream made by 3M Pharmaceuticals as a “benign” salve to cure skin cancers. I foolishly used it and it leaves no scarring ! You may have heard in the last 4 years. After I researched a bit and gave him information, he told the Doctor he was not using the Aldara, then on recommencement the symptoms would worsen. Guess what. THEY DID. He only used the salve for two weeks, rather than for the six weeks that are recommended. Had I used it with the itching, sweating, tight chest, nausea, dry eyes, metallic taste, slight dizzyness, upset stomach, diarhea, severe muscle and joint soreness and stiffness in the back, neck and arms. Physical and mental exhastion. My doctor wanted to prescribe antidepressants but I felt "poisoned sick" not sad. I didn't put the two together right away. I was referred all around to specialist doctors trying to find the root cause of the symptoms: rheumotologist, hematologist, gastroentologist... Blood tests, xrays, MRI, ultrsound...
found low blood counts with the most severe being platelet count which is connected to the immune system and seemed to bring out the most concern in the hematologist.
