Europe: District Court Puts an End to Untrue Statements about the New Flabjab Injection

Verden, Germany (APRIL 27, 2004) --

Temporary Injunction obtained against Association of Plastic Surgeons

Verden - For months now, the associations of plastic surgeons have disseminated untrue facts about the new treatment method associated with the "flabjab-injection", and now massive consequences are threatening for "GDÄPC" and "VDPC" if these associations and their members continue to spread such information. By means of a temporary injunction and under penalty of an administrative fine of € 250,000, the District Court of Verden has now prohibited the associations from repeating all these complaints disseminated up to now via press releases and in interviews.

Again and again, the associations concerned reported about massive side-effects connected with the flabjab injection towards representatives of the media, for instance about dents, cysts or even harm to the inherited material. Instead, liposuction was praised as the only riskless and appropriate possibility to eliminate fat. Up to now, however, the responsible persons failed to offer the media precise evidences supporting these statements not only that no injured patient could be found, what is more: the medical literature does not include any report about the above-mentioned side-effects. On the contrary the general reliability of the applied substance that is also used by health practitioners has been scientifically supported for several times. Medical examinations carried out with 500 patients did not reveal any harm or injury. As a matter of fact, the treatment method existing for almost ten years now turned out to be a gentle method with positive effects experienced by some thousands of patients, also in Germany.

As one of the most experienced users in Germany, Dr. Gunther Steitz, general practitioner, obtained the temporary injunction in order to stop the purposive creation of insecurity among the public by the plastic surgeons and to return to a balanced and serious discussion about the topic in question. In this connection, Dr. Steitz asks all media to gain an own objective and thorough impression of the injection's mode of action, to gather the publicly available information about the active substance and to request evidences supporting the negative statements of the plastic surgeons. In this connection, he also draws the attention to an independent study of the University Clinic of Vienna which will offer additional objective scientific results about the new treatment method in a few weeks.
