From the perspective of vitamin C Yinqiao Tablets, Chinese medicine is not as good as it used to be?

June 21, 2013 source: on June 18, new people's weekly, the Hong Kong Department of Health called on the public not to take vitamin C Yinqiao tablet because it contains unlabeled and banned western medicine ingredients In fact, the "unsafe" of VIC Yinqiao tablet has long been found In 2009, Sichuan food and Drug Administration announced that 80% of 257 batches of substandard drugs were Chinese patent medicines, among which there were VEC Yinqiao Tablets According to the State Food and drug administration, from 2004 to 2010, 1885 cases of adverse reactions were reported Most of these adverse reactions are due to the traditional requirements of planting, processing and storage From the VEC Yinqiao Tablets, we can see the problems of traditional Chinese medicine Two years ago, an article let readers know that Chinese medicine is not the same as it used to be Will traditional Chinese medicine die in medicine? Interview with Luo Shiwen, former director of the marketing department of the State Drug Administration, about a coffee shop He is a bit thinner than he was five years ago "I had colitis a few days ago I had diarrhea all the time At the most serious time, I had more than ten times a day." Luo explained The retired old man, who has been engaged in traditional Chinese medicine work for 53 years, has always been prescribing and taking medicine himself Colitis is recurrent and lingering In order to cure the disease, Luo found a way out of the medical books The medicine needed for this recipe is unique: fulonggan Fulonggan is the heartland, which can cure abdominal pain, diarrhea and bloody stool Luo laotuo's friends finally found the traditional old kitchen in the countryside of Hunan Province He specifically explained: "to dig the reddest piece in the bottom of the stove, how much is it?" In order to ensure the quality of the medicine, Luo personally made it according to the ancient method Sure enough, it healed with several doses Many people think that "traditional Chinese medicine is a slow doctor", sometimes even Luo's daughter is no exception Once the child had a fever and coughed badly In order to cure her busy work, she also sent her to the hospital directly to hang water Unexpectedly, she didn't get well for a week And a doctor in Beijing Hospital of traditional Chinese medicine, a grandson of an old Chinese medicine, only used 5 kinds of medicine and took them for 3 times, so the children jumped about The doctor's surname is Zhou, and his wife is the third generation of Shi Jinmo, a famous doctor in the capital What is doctor Zhou's wisdom in medication? Luo said that the key point is that each of his medicines has been carefully processed by himself But now most of the hospitals do not process or randomly An old doctor said: "we can't blame the common people for scolding traditional Chinese medicine Now Chinese medicine doesn't work How can the common people not scold the price rising so much and the fake and shoddy are more serious than ever? I have never seen the quality of traditional Chinese medicine as poor as today In the past, the curative effect came out after taking traditional Chinese medicine for three or five times Now, there is no curative effect after taking eight or ten times of traditional Chinese medicine " The most sad thing is that even the medicine for curing the disease and saving people is "sick" Luo said: "I have been engaged in traditional Chinese medicine for more than 50 years Now I dare not even eat the traditional Chinese medicine myself When I eat traditional Chinese medicine, I have to go to the medicine market to select the medicine myself and make it by myself " Professor Zhou Zhongying of Nanjing University of traditional Chinese medicine asserted: "traditional Chinese medicine will die in medicine!" What happened to the traditional Chinese medicine, the crystallization of five thousand years of Chinese culture? In the past and present life of loquat dew, "a bag of packed loquat leaves is as big as a hill, and a 12 ton truck is ready to go..." This is the reporter in the country's largest loquat leaf acquisition big house Fujian Xianyou County Shufeng Township Lin Wenxi's acquisition station to see the "spectacular scene." According to the records of "herbal medicine preparation", loquat leaves are bitter and flat in taste, with the effect of clearing the lung and stomach and reducing Qi, while the fire and phlegm will be reduced under the Qi The legend of nianci'an loquat cream in Kyoto tells us that Yang Xiaolian's mother had weak asthma and coughed for a long time Fortunately, ye Tianshi, a famous doctor, taught the recipe and cured his mother's stubborn disease In some mountainous areas, those who suffer from "hot cough" with thick and yellow phlegm will pick a few loquat leaves, brush the long hair on the back, add a piece of ice sugar to boil a bowl of loquat water, and generally drink it two or three times How to collect and process loquat leaves? Luo Shiwen explained in detail: "the loquat leaves used this year must be the old leaves picked from the trees last year, with the age of at least three or five years Use the bristle brush to clean the back of loquat leaves, put it on the bamboo mat and air it to 80-90% dry Take one kilogram as the unit, tie up one leaf with a rope, and then stand up to let it dry completely When making medicine, take it out, cut the knife into 0.5cm thick silk, add cooked honey and a proper amount of boiling water in the pot, put it into the loquat silk and mix well, stir fry it gently until the loquat silk can be evenly stained with honey without touching hands, take it out and let it cool " But now how do farmers usually collect leaves? "I have seen with my own eyes that all the leaves on the ground are directly tied with a long bamboo stick, and the old leaves and new leaves are in charge Many leaves have rotted in the mud It rains again What's the use after soaking? Pick it up and wash it all Don't wash the hair Dry it When processing, even the rope is not clear, not to mention honey roasting, pour directly into the extracting pot " According to ancient records, the hairs of loquat leaves must be repaired If they are not brushed clean, they will enter the lungs and cause coughing "Now the manufacturer told me that the pharmaceutical technology is advanced, and the filter screen is very thin If you filter twice more, there will be no hair I think it's amazing: can the soup made of radish with mud taste the same as the soup made after washing and peeling? " Luo's poems and essays ask As the saying goes, "oranges grow in Huainan, oranges grow in Huaibei, and trifoliate orange grows in Huaibei" Traditional Chinese medicine materials always pay attention to the origin, which is "genuine" Luo's poems and articles are precious to the genuine herbs: "Angelica must be from Dingxi, Gansu Province Rhubarb is the birthplace of Quanshui Township, Lixian County, Gansu Province, which is Jiaozuo and Wenxian County in Henan Province, Linyi and Yuncheng in Shanxi Province, but not anywhere else.. " Why is traditional Chinese medicine so complicated? "This is the law that has been explored through practice for five thousand years," explained Luo A lot of validation shows that once the environment is changed, the efficacy is often not good " As like as two peas, the root of Guangzhou, the Liwan District drug administration official pointed out: "some Chinese herbs, such as Radix Isatidis, ginseng, etc., are exactly the same as those of the genuine origin, but they are not fake medicines However, the effective components of drug detection are very few or even zero, and have no medicinal value." It is also Rehmannia glutinosa, which is produced in Wuzhi of Henan Province and a real estate of Zhejiang Province The difference of Catalpol content is 810 times "Some time ago, it was found that there was a problem with Houttuynia What's the problem? It's not right in terms of raw materials In the past, Houttuynia cordata mainly grew on both sides of Shuigou and Xiquan in the deep mountains There was no pollution After cooking, it would soon be effective for children to reduce their fever Now in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, Houttuynia cordata is scattered in the earth like a vegetable The land itself is farmland, which has been applied with chemical fertilizer and pesticide for many years When they grow out, they rake them with a rake, put them in bamboo baskets and soak them in the pond After washing the mud, they will be sold as vegetables in the market That day, I can't sell it out for fear of rotting before I take it back for drying and sell it to make medicine Pneumonia fever, mostly children Children's condition changes quickly Once they take medicine in the past, they can turn over If they delay, they may be fatal Do you say that taking Houttuynia cordata, which has no curative effect, as medicine can prevent people from dying? " After the collection of crude Chinese medicine, the most basic work is to remove sediment and impurities However, at present, the weight of the sediment in the medicinal materials on the market, such as wormwood, dandelion and Cuscuta, accounts for almost more than 20% The red skin does not scrape the skin to draw the heart, the white peony does not go to the old root, the Banlan root does not go to the head, the peach kernel and the almond do not go to the skin, the Zizyphus spinosus kernel contains a large number of shells, the Ophiopogon japonicus and the lotus seed do not go to the heart Different pieces of decoction have different effects The content of reducing sugar in the extract of Radix Isatidis was significantly higher than that of oblique and thick tablets But now the pharmacists are afraid to cut them, so they change the tablets into thick ones and thick ones into massive ones at will Thin as flying gastrodia, can only stay in the memory of the old pharmacist Since we are trying our best to cut corners in processing and repairing, where has our Kung Fu been spent? ——"Face project", commonly known as "sulfonation" Not only for the sake of good color and prolonging the shelf life, but also for the purpose of refreshing the moldy medicinal materials Sulfonation is a traditional method of fumigation The current problem is repeated sulfonation, resulting in excessive sulfur What's more, people who directly sprinkle sulfur yellow powder on the medicinal materials, pay attention to health care, and the Korean merchants who import the medicinal materials from China also have a headache In order to obtain dahurian angelica with sulfur dioxide not exceeding the standard, they can only import fresh dahurian angelica directly from China to process by themselves every year Nowadays, China has been nicknamed as a "chemical power", and the Chinese Medicine Merchants are more diligent in this aspect In recent years, in order to make the medicinal materials more beautiful, in addition to sulfonation, it has also increased to soak Gastrodia in hydrogen peroxide, bleach it, wash it with iron oxide, dye it with Salvia miltiorrhiza, rub off the mildew spots with washing powder Many people have heard that Polygonum multiflorum can cure short white head, but there are also many people who have trouble with it There is an anthraquinone derivative in the raw Radix Aconiti, which can smooth the intestines and cause diarrhea Only by processing, hydrolysis of anthraquinone derivatives into non purgative and low toxicity, can the effect of black hair of black beard be exercised normally "Processing and processing of traditional Chinese medicine, first, reduce toxicity, second, increase efficacy, third, change meridian." Luo Shiwen told reporters, "Pinellia is poisonous, and it is mostly used after being processed in clinical practice It can be divided into Pinellia with method, pinellia with ginger and Pinellia with child urine The method of Pinellia ternate processed with brine and quicklime is used to invigorate the stomach Children urinate pinellia, the main treatment of injury, stomach hemoptysis Ginger Pinellia is the treatment of pregnant women response And the raw Pinellia is emetic But now, although there are processing standards in pharmaceutical factories and hospitals, they are all locked in cabinets, many of them are not processed, or they cannot be processed to the home "In the tradition of processing Shouwu, black beans are used for cooking, and Chinese Medicine Merchants even dye it with ink Baizhu is to pour it into the pot without stir frying It's white on the top and burnt black on the bottom " If the processing is not appropriate, it will reduce the effect if it is light, and kill if it is heavy A traditional Chinese medicine doctor with 40 years of clinical experience found that vinegar prepared with industrial acetic acid or vinegar prepared with acetic acid has certain toxicity, which can cause 30% of mice to die, while fermented rice vinegar has no such adverse reactions When I buy American ginseng, I'm very tired Sometimes it doesn't taste like a bubble A doctor angrily told reporters that this kind of American ginseng has been extracted effective ingredients Luo Shiwen said that many Cordyceps sinensis has also been refined, and herbal medicine manufacturers soak the "dregs" in beer to mislead consumers into believing that they are genuine The appearance of the non extracted Cordyceps is full, yellow and bright At least 70% of Cordyceps sinensis on the market has been extracted with effective ingredients, which are dry, hard and without the same aroma as mushrooms The following herbs have been found to be "extracted": ginseng, American ginseng, dangshen, Cordyceps sinensis, Coptis, phellodendron, Cortex Moutan, Polygonum multiflorum, honeysuckle, forsythia, star anise, Cornus officinalis, forsythia, Platycodon grandiflorum, epimedium, Fritillaria, Schisandra chinensis, Leonurus, Alisma, Atractylodes macrocephala, Caulis Spatholobi, bupleurum, pangolin, Purple River car, etc If we say that in the past, traditional Chinese medicine counterfeiting was only inferior in rank, but now it is full of tricks Luo's poems and essays have traveled all over the country 17
