Radar investigates antidepressant drug of Giel Beelen

Radar investigates antidepressant drug of Giel Beelen:

NPO Radio 2 deejay Giel Beelen was monday on the TV program Radar the talk of the day. Beelen has been selling small bottles of 39.99 euros with drops 'to open your heart' for a while now. According to Radar, who spent no less than 12 minutes on Giel Beelen's antidepressant drug, it is dangerous junk.

Radar onderzoekt antidepressiva middel van Giel Beelen Radar has asked a number of pharmacologists about the antidepressant drug that does not contain a leaflet and of which all side effects are not known.

Giel Beelen,  radio maker of BnnVara, sells the drug Shambala through a webshop of his own spiritual platform Kukuru. According to Radar, the drug shambhala contains 50% percent alcohol, water, caapi and bobinsana, but in unknown proportions. Fons Hendriks of Radar could not find out what exactly is in the Shambala bottles of Beelen.

Ticking time bomb
Experts say in Radar that it can also be very dangerous. Thomas Dorlo, pharmacologist at the Netherlands Cancer Institute, agrees that this product is 'a ticking time bomb'. It could cause serotonin shock in humans, a poisoning with serotonin.

Professor Renger Witkamp says: "Bobinsana and caapi are the popular names. Potentially, this combination is dangerous, because your brain derails, as it were. If it were up to me, you would have to ban such a product. Perhaps accidents should happen first. I would say: don't buy this, because this is money-out-of-pocket-beating."

The panacea Shambala is banned in several countries, but in the Netherlands it is still freely available. It doesn't matter to Giel Beelen, he just keeps selling it. Beelen and his business partner Jesse van der Velde of Superfoodies could not say what exactly is in the drug.

Beelen strongly disagrees with the scientists: "I find it a bit embarrassing that I have to be the one who has to say: 'Hello, Mr. Scientist, you are just getting two things mixed up.' Because that cheese effect you're talking about isn't with this MAO inhibitor."

Radar reporter Fons: "You don't have a scientific background and I assume those pharmacologists know what they're talking about." Giel: "I don't think so." [RadioWereld.NL]

Old medium wave transmitter Radio 10 Gold to Radio Caroline : The former English sea transmitter Radio Caroline has been broadcasting since last week with more power on the medium wave. For this, the station has purchased a 'new' station and there is a Dutch touch to it: it is the old medium-wave transmitter that Radio 10 Gold used until 2013. Before Radio 10 acquired a national FM lot in 2013, the station broadcast as Radio 10 Gold at 828 kHz from Heinenoord under Rotterdam. A 20 kW medium wave transmitter (Harris DX25) was used for this. This transmitter, after years of dust in storage, was taken over by Caroline and shipped to England. Meanwhile, the new transmitter is operational for Caroline and the radio station broadcasts with more power. With what power is sent out, the radio station does not want to say, but rumors are that it is 4 kW. As a result, the reception has also improved considerably in the Netherlands. Caroline was officially l
