Mass. shuts down another compounding pharmacy

Posted: Published on November 1st, 2012

BOSTON (AP) Massachusetts shut down another compounding pharmacy over sterility concerns after a surprise inspection prompted by the nationwide meningitis outbreak linked to a different company, state officials have said.

The company was inspected when it first opened in December 2009 and there had been no complaints since. She said the manager of record at the company was a former employee at Ameridose, which is owned by the same people who ran New England Compounding Center, the company linked to the meningitis outbreak. She would not identify the drugs or say what specific issues investigators found at Infusion Resource, but she said they were concerned about sterility. The company mixes sterile injectable drugs for people who have been released from hospitals. The company has agreed to contact its 40 patients and their doctors and ask them to return any unused medication. Biondolillo says there is no indication any medication the company compounded is unsafe. She said the company also had an area to … Continue reading

Second pharmacy loses license

Posted: Published on November 1st, 2012

By William Hudson, CNN updated 8:00 AM EDT, Wed October 31, 2012 State officials have found a second Massachusetts pharmacy in violation of state regulations. STORY HIGHLIGHTS (CNN) -- A second Massachusetts compounding pharmacy surrendered its license after state inspectors found "significant" issues that could affect sterility, state health officials said. The pharmacy, Infusion Resource, was also found to have a center for giving intravenous medications to patients in violation of state regulations, which require a clinic license, Dr. Madeleine Biondolillo, director of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health Bureau of Healthcare Safety and Quality, said Sunday. The state Board of Pharmacy immediately issued a cease and desist notice to Infusion Resource after the October 23 inspection revealed the violations, she said. Over the weekend, the Department of Public Health "secured the voluntary surrender of Infusion's pharmacy license." The company, which compounds antibiotic and nutritional IV medications for home use, said in a statement it has since recalled all compounded products dispensed in the past month, effecting 38 patients. "No issues were cited related to the integrity of our products nor to the quality of our compounding practices," said Bernard Lambrese, Infusion Resource CEO, in a statement. "It is correct … Continue reading

PROSTATE CANCER and stem cells.wmv ramirezdelrio.com Business entrepreneur Larry Howard's 77 year old father was in deep trouble. He had been diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer by his doctors at Kaiser Permanente. Their treatments had failed to check it and it was spreading. As-a-result the elder Howard had lost a great deal of weight and was running out of time. Larry had heard that a team of doctors in Mexico was using umbilical cord stem cells that had been genetically modified to fight cancer. One of the chief medical consultants to this program, in fact, was actually a friend of Larry's; namely, pioneering physician and stem cell medicine expert David Steenblock. Larry took his father to see Dr. Steenblock, who sent them both to Mexico. The senior Mr. Howard was infused with the genetically engineered stem cells and wound up in total remission within 3 month's time. He went on to regain all the weight he had lost previously and soon felt so good that he resumed socializing and dating. In this very short video segment Larry Howard shares how his father went from gravely ill to free of any detectable cancer.From:btancredi1Views:153 0ratingsTime:01:10More inScience Technology Link: PROSTATE … Continue reading
