According to statistics, the domestic drug market exists hundreds of Chinese medicines containing cinnabar and staminaria ingredients, scientifically confirmed that cinnabar and staminaria are toxic to humans, while their legendary curative effects have not been scientifically proven, rather than calling them “medicinal materials”, rather than “poisons”. The most alarming thing is that The most alarming thing is that these “poisons” containing vermilion and stellaria are not only taken in large quantities by adults, but are even widely used as pediatric drugs for children who have no choice. The following is some research information on cinnabar, stannum and related Chinese medicines: [Cinnabar] is also known as cinnabar and tansa, a natural ore of mercury sulfide. Cinnabar is a very important traditional Chinese medicine in Chinese medicine, used for the so-called “tranquilization and sedation”. Shennong Ben Cao Jing: sweet in taste, slightly cold, non-toxic. It is used to nourish the spirit, calm the soul, benefit the qi, brighten the eyes, and kill evil spirits. Compendium of Materia Medica: Nourishes the heart, heart and blood, kidneys, spleen, and fetus, detoxifies, and can be used for sweating. If you open any Chinese medicine book, there are a lot of absurd prescriptions containing vermilion. Until today, “Chinese Pharmacopoeia” and “Ministry of Health Ministerial Standards”, containing vermilion prescription preparations up to hundreds of species, pediatric drugs also have more than a hundred, the proportion can account for about 10%, pediatric drugs are a little higher. Cinnabar is also common in Mongolian and Tibetan medicines. Modern biomedicine found that cinnabar is absorbed through the digestive tract or wounds, generating free mercury, and combined with hemoglobin in the blood, with the blood circulation into the body’s various tissues and organs. Free mercury binds to tissue cells (including the central nervous system and enzyme system), causing malnutrition, degeneration, and even necrosis of the cells. Acute poisoning is manifested by nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, pus and blood, oliguria, urinary shutdown, and uremia. Chronic poisoning manifests as digestive system lesions, psychiatric abnormalities, mercury toxic tremors, liver and kidney impairment, reduced visual field, and decreased sexual function. Clinical reports indicate that liver and kidney damage, gastrointestinal reactions, neurotoxicity, hemolytic anemia, and allergic reactions may occur with the use of vermilion. Some animal tests have reported that vermilion can reduce the excitability of the central nervous system in mice, so it has a so-called “sedative and sleeping” effect; however, vermilion has a cumulative effect in the body, and when administered for a long time, animals show symptoms such as weight loss, hypermobility, unresponsiveness, renal ischemia, and liver enlargement. Chinese medicine is to take some of the toxic side effects of vermilion as a curative effect, which is the reason why vermilion in pediatric medicine abuse in “tranquilizing and calming”. The current TCM community does not deny the fact that vermilion is toxic, but it is very divisive. When TCM doctors need to boast about the efficacy of the vaporous vermilion, they say, “Maybe those soluble ingredients are effective”; if you want to talk to a TCM doctor about the toxicity of vermilion, he will talk to you about “vermilion water flying process, remove all soluble mercury salts The remaining HgS is insoluble, not absorbed, and 98% is excreted directly from the body”. According to the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2000 edition, the purity of HgS in vermilion shall not be less than 96%, other impurities are soluble mercury salts, arsenic, lead, cadmium and other heavy metal companion compounds, which is the reason that when the Chinese patent medicine with vermilion ingredients is caught abroad, it is often found that the lead exceeds the standard at the same time. In addition to this small amount of soluble mercury salts, according to the results of Shou Guang Shun and other studies: “Cinnabar internal overdose toxic is certain, the human inorganic mercury absorption rate of 5%, methyl mercury absorption rate can reach 100%, cinnabar (HgS) in anaerobic conditions with sulfur, pH7, temperature 37 ℃ in the dark environment with methyl substances can produce methyl mercury. The human intestinal tract is equipped with this condition, so the internal consumption of cinnabar and preparations increase the chance of poisoning”. The Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2010 edition also had to clearly indicate: “Pregnant women and those with liver and kidney insufficiency are prohibited”; the problem is that you are willing to take a fully functional liver and kidney to try this tiger and wolf medicine that you know has liver and kidney toxicity? # vermilion poisoning case 1 # baby girl, born healthy, day 6 mother found horse teeth, grandmother picked off with a needle prick, and then put on vermilion (about 4-5 grams), after the child began to restlessness, crying and mouth salivation, about 1 hour later the child fell asleep, about 2 hours found pale, shallow slow breathing, sometimes deep inhalation, gradually see the face gray, the mouth around the green, and appeared once a convulsion, a general spasmodic, double eye gaze …… eventually died. (Journal of Neonatology, 1993, No. 05, “A case of acute vermilion poisoning in a newborn”) #Vermilion poisoning case 2# Female, 3 months, parents gave about 500mg of vermilion because she was crying and fussing, then gradually appeared drowsy, limbs weak, sometimes moaning. After about 20 hours, she became comatose and did not respond to various stimuli, and came to the clinic urgently. During this period, he was confused and in a deep coma. His breathing was shallow and slow with irregular rhythm, apnea, pallor, double eye gaze, equal pupils, and decompensated metabolic acidosis. (Pediatric Emergency Medicine, No. 03, 1997, “Vermilion Acute Poisoning 1 Case”) #Vermilion Poisoning Case 3 Skin Absorption #6-month-old male infant was diagnosed with indigestion by a Chinese medicine practitioner, and various drugs were used for navel paste and sizzling, and the infant died on the day of navel paste with vermilion. On examination, large areas of renal proximal and distal tubules were degenerated and necrotic, and hepatocytes were degenerated and swollen. The mercury content was determined to be 452μg/100g kidney tissue and 29μg/100g liver tissue. (Journal of Forensic Medicine, November 1998 (No. 4) “One case of vermilion poisoning causing death” by Yang Zhenglong) – The mercury and its compounds in vermilion can enter the body through the skin and can cause harm to children regardless of the dose, just to varying degrees. Xiong Huang] Xiong Huang is an arsenic sulfide mineral, and the Compendium of Materia Medica believes that “(Xiong Huang) treats malaria and cold fever, dysentery in the summer, fetid drinking, epilepsy, dizziness of the head wind, resolves blood stasis in the abdomen, and kills labor worms and noma worms.” Modern medicine has confirmed that arsenic and its compounds can cause arsenic poisoning, damage to nerves and blood vessels, and can cause fatty degeneration and necrosis and carcinogenesis of parenchymal organs such as the liver, kidneys, spleen and heart muscle. Some TCM enthusiasts are fond of arsenic for acute promyelocytic leukemia, and it must be pointed out that the mechanism and clinical application of arsenic for acute promyelocytic leukemia is dependent on modern medical confirmation; the genus is a drug whose benefits outweigh the risks before a better and safer potent drug is discovered; clinical treatment is just as likely to have severe arsenic poisoning, only it is worth trying compared to losing one’s life.
