A Real Story of a Patient Harmed by a Dietary Supplement and the Deceptive Swelling It Causes

A Real Story of a Patient Harmed by a Dietary Supplement and the Deceptive Swelling It Causes

Peace be upon you and the mercy and blessings of Allah.
Today, from inside the medical clinic, dated December 17, 2025, I am sharing with you this real-life story.
I have with me today a patient from New York City who came suffering from severe joint pain, in addition to necrosis of the head of the hip joint.

This condition resulted from taking a dietary supplement sold by herbalists and promoted as a product that helps with weight gain and appetite stimulation. We have warned repeatedly against these supplements, because in most cases they are unknown mixtures, and some people mix them with corticosteroids such as dexamethasone and betamethasone.

These substances cause fluid retention in the human body, making the person believe that they have gained weight, understood as fat gain, while in reality it is swelling caused by water retention. After a period of time, very serious complications begin to appear, including diabetes, high blood pressure, adrenal gland insufficiency, rheumatism, and other dangerous diseases.

This patient, whose name is Mlih, consumed this dietary supplement for approximately two months, at a dose of one small spoon daily. During this period, his appetite increased in an abnormal way, and he began eating large quantities of food throughout the day, even during the night.

Within just two months, his weight increased from 38 kilograms to 60 kilograms, meaning an increase of nearly 22 kilograms, which is completely unnatural and cannot be considered healthy.

After that, serious symptoms began to appear, including severe pain and swelling in the knee and hip, and an inability to walk for several months. At first, he was told that he was suffering from rheumatism, but in reality, he was suffering from severe complications caused by these supplements.

His condition reached a stage that required consideration of surgical intervention at the level of the hip joint, in addition to severe psychological suffering.

I am sharing this story as a warning message to everyone who buys dietary supplements for the purpose of weight gain:
Be careful, because most of these supplements are mixed with dangerous substances, especially corticosteroids, and they may lead to serious complications in the human body.

We ask Allah to grant this patient healing and to protect you all from every harm.
Peace be upon you and the mercy and blessings of Allah.
