    Suing Big Pharma and Zantac with Brent Wisner

    enMarch 18, 2022

    Podcast Summary

    • Zantac's Cancer-Causing ByproductZantac contained a carcinogenic byproduct called NDMA, linked to cancer in animals and humans. The FDA recalled it in 2019, and long-term users should consult their healthcare provider or an attorney.

      Zantac, a common over-the-counter medication for heartburn and reflux, contained a carcinogenic byproduct called NDMA when stored for extended periods. This byproduct, which forms when the renitidine molecule in Zantac reconnects, is a potent human carcinogen discovered in the 1930s and used in laboratory experiments to induce cancer in animals. Brent Wisner, a renowned attorney who has won numerous awards for his litigation skills, is currently handling cases related to Zantac and its health risks. The FDA recalled Zantac in 2019 due to the presence of NDMA, and it's essential for individuals who have taken Zantac for an extended period to be aware of the potential risks and consider speaking with their healthcare provider or consulting with an attorney.

    • Zantac's Impurity Linked to Various Types of CancerZantac's active ingredient Ranitidine contains N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), a carcinogenic impurity linked to bladder, liver, stomach, colorectal, prostate, breast, pancreatic, and esophageal cancers. If diagnosed with one of these cancers, contact Obama Headland for potential litigation eligibility.

      The drug Zantac, and specifically the active ingredient Ranitidine, contains a potentially carcinogenic impurity called N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). This impurity has been found in significant quantities in the drug itself, even before it is ingested. NDMA is known to interact with human DNA in a way that can cause miscodings, potentially leading to various types of cancer. Although NDMA can theoretically cause any type of cancer, the current focus of litigation is on cancers with substantial literature linking them to both MDMA and Ranitidine, such as bladder, liver, stomach, colorectal, prostate, breast, pancreatic, and esophageal cancers. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with one of these cancers and believe that Zantac may have played a role, contact Obama Headland to discuss the possibility of joining the ongoing litigation. The process involves a thorough scientific evaluation to determine eligibility. While these cases can take years and involve thousands of people, Obama Headland has a proven track record of successfully representing clients in similar situations.

    • GSK Hid Cancer Risks of Zantac for DecadesGSK concealed high NDMA levels in Zantac for years, leading to potential cancer cases. Eligibility for litigation depends on length and frequency of use.

      GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) sold Zantac, a heartburn medication, for decades while knowing it contained potentially carcinogenic levels of N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). The company conducted a study in 1982 that showed high levels of NDMA formation, but chose not to disclose the results to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Zantac was eventually pulled from the market in 2020 due to these findings. If you took Zantac and developed cancer, you may be eligible for litigation. The length of use and the amount taken regularly are important factors. The rule of thumb is taking it daily for at least a year, but sporadic use for a longer period could also qualify. Proof of use, such as receipts, is helpful but not always necessary. GSK invented the Zantac molecule and has been identified as the manufacturer responsible for this health crisis. The company's actions have led to a significant number of cancer cases. Lawsuits are being taken on in California and every other state.

    • Strategically filing cases in favorable jurisdictionsLaw firms strategically file cases in jurisdictions with favorable jury pools and less conservative judicial systems to help clients navigate complex legal situations, such as the ongoing Zantac litigation against GSK, where evidence of harm far outweighs concerns about juries.

      Law firms help clients navigate complex legal situations by strategically filing cases in jurisdictions with favorable jury pools and less conservative judicial systems. The ongoing Zantac litigation serves as an example, where the damning evidence against the manufacturer, GSK, and the potential harm caused to thousands of consumers, far outweighs concerns about juries. However, it's important to note that the evidence against Zantac, including early studies indicating its mutagenic properties, was ignored or downplayed by GSK and regulatory bodies. This case highlights the importance of transparency and accountability in the pharmaceutical industry, and the potential consequences when corporations prioritize profits over consumer safety.

    • Zantac Contained Potentially Carcinogenic ImpurityThe FDA eventually pulled Zantac from the market after it was found to contain a potentially carcinogenic impurity, despite the drug being marketed for daily use and even with food, leading to increased risk. If you took Zantac and experienced health issues, consult with a qualified attorney for potential legal options.

      The drug Zantac, also known as ranitidine, was found to contain a potentially carcinogenic impurity called N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). Despite this risk, the drug was marketed for daily use and even with food, which interacted with the drug and increased the risk. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) eventually pulled Zantac from the market after manufacturers had already stopped selling it due to public pressure. The delay in the FDA's action was surprising, as regulatory agencies are often influenced by the industries they regulate. If you or someone you know took Zantac and developed health issues, it's important to consult with a qualified attorney to discuss potential legal options. Our firm, Baum Hedlund, based in Los Angeles, is currently handling Zantac lawsuits and can be reached at 855-948-5098 or through our website, baumhedlund.com. We are committed to helping our clients and getting to the bottom of their stories.

    • Zantac and Cancer: What You Need to KnowIf diagnosed with cancer after taking Zantac, contact a lawyer for potential rights and compensation. Ongoing litigation against manufacturers could lead to compensation for affected individuals.

      If you have taken Zantac and have been diagnosed with cancer, it's important to contact a lawyer to understand your potential rights. Brent Wisner, an experienced attorney, emphasized the significance of this matter and encouraged individuals to take action. He emphasized that the ongoing litigation against Zantac's manufacturer, Sanofi and Boehringer Ingelheim, could potentially lead to compensation for those affected. The discussion highlighted the potential link between Zantac and various types of cancer, and the ongoing investigation into the drug's safety. While the litigation process can be lengthy, it's crucial for those who may have been harmed to seek legal advice and explore their options. The discussion concluded with a reminder of the importance of staying informed and taking action if necessary.

    Senator Rand Paul on Wuhan, Fauci and Covid

    Senator Rand Paul on Wuhan, Fauci and Covid

    U.S. Senator Rand Paul and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. share their experiences with coronavirus and censorship in this historic episode.


    Here is the description of Rand Paul's new book, Deception: The Great Covid Cover-Up:


    Senator Rand Paul was on to Anthony Fauci from the start. Wielding previously unimaginable power, Fauci misled the country about the origins of the Covid pandemic and shut down scientific dissent.
    One of the few leaders who dared to challenge "America’s Doctor" was Senator Rand Paul, himself a physician. Deception is his indictment of the catastrophic failures of the public health bureaucracy during the pandemic.
    Senator Paul presents the evidence that:

    • The Covid virus was likely the product of gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab in China—research funded in part by the U.S. government.
    • Taxpayer dollars for that research were deceptively funneled to Wuhan without the required regulatory review.
    • Fauci and his scientific yes-men knew from day one about Covid’s origin and tried to cover it up.
    • Fauci and his allies ruthlessly attacked everyone—including highly qualified scientists—who threatened to reveal the truth about the pandemic.


    Why? Hundreds of millions of dollars of grants and unreported royalties were at stake, and heads would roll if the truth got out.

    #75 - David Light: Zantac recall due to cancer concerns – what you need to know

    In this episode, David Light, CEO of Valisure (the company which alerted the FDA to the Zantac cancer concerns), explains the story behind the recent recalls by manufacturers of ranitidine, a common heartburn medication, sold under the trade name Zantac, due to a potential link to increased cancer risk. David breaks down all the evidence, the role of his unique pharmacy company which tests all its drugs before being dispensed to consumers, and the reason behind the FDA’s tempered reaction to the alarming study results. David makes the argument that Zantac/ranitidine is an inherently unstable molecule which explains the grossly excessive amounts of NDMA (a probable human carcinogen) as opposed to just a contamination for which there could be numerous causes. Finally, David and Peter both provide recommendations for what to do if you or someone you know is currently taking Zantac/ranitidine.

    We discuss:

    • The impetus for starting Valisure, a unique online pharmacy that tests all its medications [6:45];
    • The story behind the recall of valsartan, and the role which Valisure played [24:30];
    • Testing Zantac: The shocking results from Valisure’s initial testing with major potential cancer implications [36:00];
    • NDMA - the probable human carcinogen found in Zantac/ranitidine [48:45];
    • The epidemiology question: Are we inferring too much from epidemiology? What can we take away from the existing studies? [53:30];
    • The staggering results from the 2016 Stanford study, why it didn’t alarm more people, and how Valisure found the missing biological link [1:01:30];
    • Alerting the FDA, the FDA’s tempered response, and question of contamination vs. inherent instability [1:07:30];
    • How confident is David that the elevated levels of NDMA being found in ranitidine are not due to instrumentation, human error, or temperature contamination? [1:24:15];
    • The massive risk being taken by the FDA by not doing more to keep ranitidine away from consumers [1:25:15];
    • If someone is taking Zantac/ranitidine, what should they do? What else do they need to know? [1:27:45]; and

    Barbara Walsh – Natural Cures for Cancer

    Barbara Walsh – Natural Cures for Cancer

    Barbara Walsh is a mom, business owner, and breast cancer survivor. She had a lot of plans for the prime of her life. But, everything changed a few years ago when a routine mammogram revealed a need for a biopsy. She was then given the devasting news, “You have Stage 1 Breast Cancer.” The oncologist outlined the standard treatment protocol: surgery, radiation, and chemo, without offering any guarantees that these treatments would completely cure her or prevent the cancer from recurring. As she listened, she felt like her life was spinning out of control. The future now looked like an unstoppable conveyor belt going in and out of hospitals as she endured treatments and lost her hair. She felt completely helpless. To this point in her life, she had been a very compliant “patient.” However, she knew it was time to stop, pray – a lot, and seek another option. Through this, she felt led to roll up her sleeves and research. What she learned was literally an answer to her prayers! She learned about the power of nutrition and that a robust immune system is the key to health and healing. Instead of poisoning herself to get well, nourishing her body and rebuilding her immune system to heal made more sense. She knew this was the right path for her. So, she went “all in” with the natural options she had discovered and changed how she ate. Something else incredible happened while making the changes needed to rebuild her immune system! The stubborn weight that she had gained when she hit 50 started to melt away. She had more energy, she felt better, and she looked better than she ever had in her life! And that was just the beginning! Throughout this fantastic process, she kept asking herself: “Why hadn’t she heard any of this before? If she had, she probably could have avoided getting cancer in the first place!” Today, she has a clean bill of health! She continues to be a “clean” eater, and she hasn’t regained the weight she lost! She believes food's healing power transformed her body and empowered her to overcome cancer – and be her best self! It has been ultimately liberating for her to learn that it is possible to take control of your health naturally, and experience lasting transformation! Now, as a Board-Certified Master Health Coach, she is passionate about helping women do the same!
