Journalists and content creators specializing in health have started a trend on platforms like X, questioning the ethics of celebrities promoting experimental treatments.
Tragedy in Sonora and the fugitive doctor The crisis in Sonora involves doctor Maximiano "N", who is a fugitive from justice after his clinic was linked to the deaths of eight people and the harm to at least three others. Preciado admitted his life was at risk and warned his followers about the importance of not resorting to alternative medical procedures without scientific rigor.
This scandal has reignited the urgency for Cofepris to implement strict regulations to regulate the promotion of micronutrient therapies by celebrities, seeking to prevent more people from risking their lives by following the recommendations of their idols.
Maribel Guardia and vitamin drips Despite these treatments having claimed the lives of 8 people in Hermosillo, Sonora, in recent days, and Julio Preciado being recently hospitalized for kidney and lung failure, renowned actress Maribel Guardia has become the target of severe criticism on social media after videos of her promoting drip therapy were shared.
This controversy erupts at a critical time for public health in Hermosillo, Sonora, where authorities are investigating the deaths of eight people linked to the administration of vitamin drips at a private clinic.
Resurfacing of Maribel Guardia's videos after deaths from drips Although it has been clarified that the actress's videos are not current and that the establishment she advertised has not been directly linked by the Prosecutor's Office to the current investigation, the context has generated an intense viral debate.
In recent operations, Cofepris and the state Prosecutor's Office seized 216 intravenous drips after a search in Ciudad Obregón, while advanced laboratory analyses are being conducted to clarify the components of these solutions.
The real risks: The case of Julio Preciado The danger of these practices was evidenced by the case of singer Julio Preciado, who recently faced a kidney and pneumonia crisis from self-medicating with these drips.
