As a BMA council member, Dr Daneshmend has helped to drive industrial action by doctors which has crippled the NHS<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
He joined picket lines this year when junior doctors held four-day and three-day strikes over their pay demands, which Ministers have criticised for being ‘unrealistic’.<\/p>\n
These strikes helped lead to the cancellation of an estimated 370,000 appointments and operations.<\/p>\n

\u00a0It may have toxic effects on the liver and kidneys<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nActress Gwyneth Paltrow is a supporter of IV-injected glutathione to combat ageing and boost health, saying it was one of her ‘favourite’ injected drugs. The claim has been dismissed by doctors. Popular American health website WebMD says: ‘People take glutathione for ageing, alcohol use disorder, liver disease, heart disease and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.’<\/p>\n
When The Mail on Sunday contacted Dr Daneshmend, he first denied having anything to do with Glutathione Shop UK and then said it may be linked to his company, which has been running for two years.<\/p>\n
When asked about glutathione, he then abruptly put the phone down. Later, Dr Daneshmend sent a statement saying that the website was not fully operational yet and was not advertised.<\/p>\n
He added that glutathione was not advertised on the website as a skin whitening product.<\/p>\n
He said: ‘This website was never fully operational, nor was it advertised, but was created as a proof of concept. The website should not have been searchable and was not carried forwards due to commercial reasons.<\/p>\n
‘One product planned for sale was glutathione \u2013 a legal and approved supplement commonly available both online and on the high street from pharmacies, fitness supplement retailers and wellness shops. The other product was vitamin C.<\/p>\n
‘Glutathione is an antioxidant naturally produced by the body and people take it for many reasons, including to boost their immune system and for liver health.<\/p>\n
‘Glutathione was not marketed on the website as a skin lightening or bleaching product.’<\/p>\n
Dr Daneshmend also pointed out glutathione is found in high street health shops like Holland & Barrett. After we placed our calls to him, the website for Glutathione Shop UK was taken down, as well as Dr Daneshmend’s Twitter, LinkedIn and other social media pages.<\/p>\n
The BMA declined to comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
