CHAPTER 8:

Counterfeit Products

Various unscrupulous companies have preyed on the results of the extensive work done with Curaderm BEC5, and are making false claims that their products are equivalent or better than Curaderm BEC5. Little or no studies have been done with their products and these companies are cleverly attempting to deceive the public by associating my published work in their advertising material. It appears that there are no limits for supplying fraudulent information for what I assume is to become rich. These “parasites” have done everything possible to plagiarise and deliberately mislead the public for their own personal gains.

As described earlier in this book, it is not a simple matter of having glycoalkaloids in a cream or gel and assume that this is a treatment for skin cancer. Cancer is a serious condition. A tremendous amount of careful work was done to obtain these purified glycoalkaloids without traces of their inhibitors (interfering substances) from the plant materials. If this preparation is not properly completed, the end product will be useless, as experienced by patients who have been cleverly enticed to use counterfeit products. I have received numerous telephone calls, facsimiles, and emails from patients, all over the world, who have used these counterfeit products without success. The following is an example of a typical email received.

This approach to blatantly pirate and plagiarise intellectual property and to simply deceive the public does not assist the genuine development of a product like Curaderm BEC5. Companies producing ineffective counterfeit products are disrespectful to science and they are tragically depriving the public of treatments for serious diseases, in this case a treatment for cancer.

Conclusion

Dermatologists, plastic surgeons and radiotherapists jointly manage non melanoma skin cancers. Such management usually involves surgery. The risks of surgical intervention are well known. Moreover, excision of these skin cancers from the facial area often involves reconstructive surgery, which can be both time consuming and costly. Hence an alternative, safe and efficacious method of treatment of such skin cancers that do not require physician or hospital attendance must be encouraged.

The benefits of Curaderm BEC5 has been recognized by the dermatological community and information on Curaderm BEC5 has been presented by invitation at the following international forums:

• World Congress on Skin Cancer (Zurich, 2001)
• European Academy of Dermatology (Geneva, 2001)
• British Dermatological Association (Leeds, 2001)
• British Dermatological Association (Cardiff, 2002)
• World Congress of Dermatology (Paris, 2002)

It was concluded that Curaderm BEC5 was a safe and efficacious method of treatment for non melanoma skin cancers and the treatment protocol did not require physician or hospital attendance.

The dermatologists involved with Phases III and IV of the clinical studies have commented that in their view and experience (Curaderm) BEC5 as topical application is a safe and effective ideal therapy for outpatient treatment. Hence (Curaderm) BEC5 is a much needed alternative to surgery for basal cell carcinoma. This is the commonest cancer in Caucasians worldwide and the prevalence continues to increase with an increasing ageing population.

Curaderm BEC5 results in ulceration of the lesion site during treatment. However, it is observed that post treatment the wound is quickly replenished with normal tissue.

The pictures of Curaderm BEC5 treated cancers in this book convincingly show that the cosmetic end result is magnificent. In the majority of cases when patients were followed up for several years after treatment with Curaderm BEC5 they could not distinguish where the cancer was!

Curaderm BEC5 is the method of choice for treating non melanoma skin cancers. Nevertheless, surgery is a needed procedure in selected cases where it can not be excluded that SCC metastases are suspected.

I can now finally reflect on the occasion that arose sometime ago in the 1990s (the “Mutilated Man”). With some satisfaction, respect and humbleness I feel that I have fulfilled one of the last wishes of a genuine nice couple who unselfishly encouraged me to make available a better treatment for skin cancer for the general public.

This I have accomplished!
