Did you make it? What do countries in the world think of Chinese medicine?

In the past five years, the author searched the literature reports on traditional Chinese medicine on Science Daily, and found that almost all of them were disapproval or criticism of traditional Chinese medicine According to the country and published journals, the author summarized as follows: Australia pointed out that with the increase of Chinese immigrants, the use of traditional Chinese medicine in Australia is more and more common According to a recent paper published in the Australian Journal of emergency medicine, a patient suffered from nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain and other symptoms after taking Chinese herbal medicine for relaxing the meridians and activating collaterals, and then developed serious cardiac numbness, so that he was admitted to the Royal Hospital of Melbourne ICU, through the clinical toxicology analysis conducted by the poisons information centre in Australia, found that several Chinese herbal medicines "Chuanwu", "Caowu" and "Fuzi" contained aconitin, which had serious cardiotoxic effects, while the potential lethal nature was used in this paper [1] There seems to be no good feeling for traditional Chinese medicine in Australia Roger Baird of Adelaide University in Australia in 2010 Byard) Professor of medical pathology published a paper about the world's wrong belief that traditional Chinese medicine is safe in the American Journal of forensic science, in which he emphasized that many components of traditional Chinese medicine are seriously toxic, and may cause serious diseases, worsen the existing health problems, and lead to death An analysis of 251 traditional Chinese medicine products shows that 36 of them contain arsenic, 35 contain mercury and 24 contain lead, all of which are lethal It is specially emphasized that there is a traditional Chinese medicine named "toad Su", which is used to treat sore throat, boils and arrhythmias In fact, it can cause cardiac arrest, even coma, and even lead to liver and kidney heart failure, shock, muscle injury and spasm, which is proved by the autopsy report, Roger Baird pointed out [2] In a recent paper on traditional Chinese Medicine published in the Journal of alternative and complementary medicine in the United States, it is pointed out that the Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in the United States The research of center) shows that Chinese herbal medicine can reduce the concentration of many Western medicines in the body, including contraceptives, anticoagulants, chemotherapy drugs and blood pressure lowering drugs, leading to the failure of prevention and treatment of diseases In order to prove the reliability of the conclusion, the Research Center analyzed the typical data from 1993 to 2010, among which 28% of the patients taking Chinese herbal medicine had the above problems, leading to the aggravation of the disease [3] However, in 2010, the American College of Cardiology also pointed out that more and more Americans tend to treat chronic diseases with traditional Chinese medicine, and think it can promote the recovery of their health, but in its subsequent research, it gave a negative, according to its February 2010 report in the Journal of the American College of cardiology A systematic review of the harm of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) published on cardiology shows that in fact, TCM drugs for heart diseases, such as Ginkgo biloba, garlic and grape juice, pose a serious threat to patients taking western medicine for heart diseases The elderly, in particular, are more likely to increase their risk of complications, such as cerebral hemorrhage Arshad Jahangir, a cardiology professor and doctor of medicine at Mayo Clinic, stressed that many people mistakenly believe that traditional Chinese medicine products are safe In fact, there is a fatal misunderstanding that traditional Chinese medicine is a "pure natural" illusion In essence, every mixture of traditional Chinese medicine will have an impact on the body [4] According to a recent report in the Journal of medical BMC by BioMed Central in the UK, through the selection and comparison of DNA sequences of components in traditional Chinese medicine products, it is found that there are many pollutants and plant substitutes in traditional Chinese medicine products The paper points out that this study found that more than 59% of traditional Chinese medicine ingredients did not appear in the listed description when DNA sequence was compared, 2 / 3 of traditional Chinese medicine ingredients are useful substitutes for plants, and 1 / 3 of traditional Chinese medicine contains some ingredients that should be filtered out According to the requirements of the World Health Organization (who), adulterants in traditional Chinese medicine products pose a threat to the health of consumers However, the research results of the biomedical center prove this point At last, the author points out that the doping of pollutants and some substitutes in traditional Chinese medicine will affect the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine, and there is a serious risk of toxicity At the same time, the researchers suggest that molecular diagnostic tools, such as DNA barcode technology, can be used in the production of traditional Chinese medicine to check the reliability of product ingredients [5] In 2011, the University of Leeds also carried out a study on the safety of traditional Chinese medicine The study concluded that many traditional Chinese medicine products and health care products on sale actually lack important safety information to guide the use And in April of the same year, the European Union law requires that when TCM is sold, it must explain the side effects after taking and the interaction with other drugs, and how it affects the existing diseases of patients [6] [1] Deadly remedy： Warning issued about Chinese herbal medicine Wiley [2] Herbal medicines can be lethal， pathologist warns ?University
