Drug banned in Guernsey amid fears it's not fit for consumption

Guernsey's health department is urging all users or former users of a controversial cancer drug GcMAF to contact their GP.

The unlicenced drug has been banned after its UK factory closed amid fears materials used aren't fit for human consumption.

Hundreds of islanders have already pleaded with politicians and health officials to have the ban lifted.

Renewed plea for GcMAF ban to be lifted

Islanders wanting a ban on the so called 'cancer cure' GcMAF lifted in Guernsey, are again pleading with health officials.

The unlicensed medicine was banned by authorities earlier this month, after the UK regulator warned it could pose a significant risk to health.

At a second public meeting last night terminally ill people and their friends claimed taking GcMAF away has taken away their only hope.

Can you imagine what that feels like... when you know you're on borrowed time, this is really helping you and you've run out of supplies, I mean, it's absolutely horrific, shocking really.

– Judy Hayman, Friend of GcMAF user
