Since 1992 chronic renal failures have been detected in women that have absorbed pills containing chinese herbs extracts. The more fortunate of them underwent kidney transplant surgery, others survive thanks to hemodialysis, a third category either suffers from urinal cancer or either are deceased. Commercialized by Arkopharma (e.g. Health From The Sun) asiatitrat pills - which contained those extracts - were absorbed in the early 90's by 2,000 to 3,000 women in France and even more in Belgium where 1 million pills were sold. To date criminal proceedings against Max Rombi - Arkopharma's founder and ex-CEO - are ongoing since 1994. Max Rombi is pursued for homicides, injuries, frauds and misleading advertising. In October 2005 Max Rombi has been found guilty and sentenced to serve two years in jail and pay 20,000 euros penalty for "unintentional" homicides by Nice (France) correctional court. After fourteen years of procedures in a complete U-turn, on July the 5th of 2006, Max Rombi is acquitted of the charges of "unintentional" injuries by Toulouse (France) correctional court. Max Rombi has appealed both correctional courts sentences. Once more victims are insulted...

The figures shown below relate to known cases which means there are other women whom havng absorbed Arkopharma's asiatitrat pills and having lost their kidneys do not realize the cause of their renal failure. The purpose of this blog is to bring to public knowledge a problem that concerns us all and wherein an unscrupulous individual veterinary improvising himself as an expert in chinese medecine sold pills through the company he founded regardless of public health and safety standards...

What happened since may 2007?

Following the shameful sentence of the Appeal Court of Toulouse (France), one of the victims decided to go to the "cour de cassation" (the other victim couldn't do it as she was not informed in time to do so). A report was being constituted when Max Rombi decided to withdraw and according to french law that means the case is over with no additional action possible.

It is disgraceful to observe justice cannot follow its path because of the reaction of Max Rombi (ex-CEO founder and current president of the supervisory board of Arkopharma) when some of the products manufactured by his firm are involved in deceases, sicknesses including nephropathies and cancers.


If you are aware of any addtional action that can be taken so justice can be done, please do not hesitate to let us know by leaving your comment below. Thank you.
