Outline
Message advises recipients that “Imitinef Mercilet”, a medicine that cures blood cancer, is available free of charge from the Adyar Cancer Institute in Chennai, India.
Brief Analysis
The Adyar Cancer Institute is a real health facility. “Imitinef Mercilet” is apparently an alternative spelling of the cancer drug, Imatinib mesylate. It is true that Imatinib (or “Imitinef”) is available free of charge for patients who have been admitted to the Adyar Cancer Institute hospital for cancer treatment. However, the Institute is not handing out the drug freely to all as suggested in the message. Moreover, the drug certainly does not cure all blood cancers as claimed in the message.
