Chinese medicine is the treasure of our country, many folk remedies are derived from it. It is often said that the partial cure for serious illnesses, undeniably, some partial remedies can indeed play a medicine to the disease, immediate effect. However, even in today’s highly developed science, there are still many folk remedies have not been carefully verified, blind faith and compliance, not only can not cure the disease, but also may aggravate the condition, and even let people die. 1, asthma is not removed, the femoral head first “dead” This year’s 35-year-old teacher Zhang, suffering from asthma has been more than 20 years, often have chest tightness, shortness of breath, difficulty in whistling and other symptoms, have seen a few hospitals are not very satisfactory. Later, someone suggested that she go to a private clinic to take a kind of “cure” asthma prescription, try to serve a period of time after the symptoms really significantly reduced. So, she insisted on taking it. However, a month later, Ms. Zhang morning wake up, feel the two hip soreness and discomfort, walking more, but also some pain. The pain was getting worse and worse, so she had to go to the hospital for another checkup. Finally, through the MRI examination, found bilateral femoral head necrosis. Mr. Zhang is even more sighing, it is really an old disease has not been healed and add new injuries. The root cause, may be a large number of hormones contained in the prescription trouble. Comment: Usually, most of these effective remedies for asthma contain large amounts of hormones. Although the hormone has a very good anti-inflammatory, anti-allergy, asthma and other functions, but the hormone also has a lot of side effects, one of which is can lead to osteonecrosis. Long-term, massive use of hormones, will cause the femoral head of the medullary cells fat, at the same time the femoral head of the small blood vessels will be due to fat deposition and become narrow; especially small veins, narrowing more obvious, resulting in the femoral head of the blood flow difficulties, resulting in venous stagnation; the femoral head of the blood circulation is not good, resulting in femoral head of the ischemic necrosis. 2, eat raw loach, eat parasitic disease Aunt Li suffered from chronic cholecystitis for many years, because of fear of surgery, has been taking conservative treatment. Not long ago, listening to a colleague introduced a recipe, eat raw loach can treat cholecystitis. So she went to the market to buy some fresh live loach, also want to eat according to this recipe to try. After returning home, she will first wash the loach, cut off the head, empty the viscera, and then the whole loach on a mouthful of swallowed. After eating a few, Aunt Li whether to feel the condition is much easier. A week later, Aunt Li suddenly developed a high fever of 39 degrees does not go away. At first she thought it was a common cold, so she kept treating it as a cold. After seeing television and newspaper reports of eating raw loach infected with parasitic news, many patients have similar fever symptoms, she recalled that she had eaten a few raw loach not long ago, they went to the provincial hospital for examination. The test results show that: Aunt Lee also has parasites on the liver, had to be hospitalized. Comment: Loach is known as “water ginseng”, rich in nutrients, medicinal value is also very high. Chinese medicine believes that the loach taste sweet, sex flat, can adjust the beneficial gas, tonic gas Yang, dampness detoxification, nourishing Yin and clear heat, through the kidney and kidney gas, can be used for the treatment of itchy skin, edema, jaundice and hemorrhoids and other diseases. Loach is strong and can survive in stinky gutters and silt. Dirty water in the growth of loach is easy to parasites such as whipworm, Monascus tapeworm and other parasites, raw loach is likely to be infected with parasitic diseases. Parasites can invade the intestinal mucosa to produce a large number of eggs, eggs from the digestive tract into the body and gradually mature into larvae, migrate in the body, invade the human body’s important organs, serious sepsis and organs rupture, and even death. Parasites can also invade bone marrow and destroy hematopoietic cells, causing various diseases. Therefore, raw loach should not be taken. 3, poison to cure cancer, toad to his life Just over the age of Ma, in the business world nearly 2O years. Due to uncontrolled diet, excessive smoking and drinking, he found out that he had lung cancer a year ago and had radical lung cancer surgery half a year ago. Not long ago, a friend introduced him to a toad “to fight poison with poison” can cure the cancer of the recipe. So he asked someone to catch a few toads to make soup. When he drank a bowl of toad soup less than 10 minutes after he began to appear nausea, difficulty in breathing, sweating and other symptoms. Family members rushed to call 120 emergency, when he was sent to the hospital, has been breathing, cardiac arrest, although after all efforts to rescue, but ultimately failed to save the life of Mr. Ma. Comment: Toad is commonly known as toad, its shell (commonly known as toad clothes) is a toad shed horny membrane, in the “Compendium of Materia Medica” is called “toad treasure”, has the effect of supporting positive and solid foundation, attacking and breaking the silt, anticancer and swelling in the folk have been the treatment of tumors, hepatitis B, ascites, and other difficult and miscellaneous diseases, the “secret recipe! “However, toad as a traditional Chinese medicine, it is not a good choice for the treatment of tumors, hepatitis B and ascites. But toad as a traditional Chinese medicine, must be processed. Because in addition to the mucus secreted from the skin of the toad contains highly toxic substances, muscle, liver and ovaries also contain toxic substances, the human heart, gastrointestinal tract and the central nervous system will produce serious damage, severe poisoning coma, can be due to whistle, circulatory failure and death. 4, swallowing fish gall bladder risk of death Li Auntie dry eyes, eye astringency problem for many years. Recently, I don’t know where to hear the recipe, swallowing fish urchin can defeat fire and eyesight. So she went to the supermarket to buy 2 grass carp, take out the fish gall bladder in the water rinsing for a few moments, then swallowed. In the evening, Li Da-ma suddenly appeared dizziness, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, family members rushed to the local hospital, after 2 days of rescue did not see any improvement. Had no choice but to transfer to the Provincial People’s Hospital, was diagnosed as fish gall poisoning caused by acute liver and kidney failure, after several hemodialysis treatment, spent more than 100,000 yuan in medical expenses, and finally saved his life. Comment: Fish gall is with heat detoxification, clearing the liver and eyesight, cough, pain, can cure eye redness, swelling and pain and other diseases. Do not know, it is very similar to the amount of treatment and poisoning, a little improper use of drugs will make people poisoned. Fish gall contains cholestatic toxins, histamine, bile salts and cyanide and other substances, after entering the human gastrointestinal tract, its toxic components are absorbed and enter the liver, and then discharged by the kidneys. Therefore, poisoning patients with acute renal failure and liver damage has the highest incidence, followed by the stomach, intestines, heart, brain and other organs involved, if not rescued in time, the mortality rate is very high. Generally a 0.25 kg weight of grass carp bile can make people poisoned, a 2.5 kg or more fish bile can cause death. Therefore, blindly taking fish gall, whether raw or cooked, may cause poisoning. If the accidental consumption of fish gall and the symptoms of poisoning, we should go to the hospital as soon as possible, early vomiting, gastric lavage, diarrhea, reduce the absorption of poison, and drink more water to accelerate excretion. At present, there is no special antidote for fish gall poisoning, if necessary, hemodialysis to remove toxins, to prevent life-threatening damage to internal organs. 5, warm reminder Although folk circulation of certain remedies in dealing with some minor illnesses and diseases sometimes do achieve some unique therapeutic effects. However, through the above cases, it is not difficult to see that many people who are superstitious about the ability to cure serious illnesses have paid a heavy price for it. Therefore, we must take the essence of the use of traditional Chinese medicine with a rigorous scientific attitude. The use of bioprescriptions should pay attention to the following issues: (1) the disease should be clear, bioprescriptions should be practical. Do not ask the original cause of the disease, regardless of whether the prescription is scientific and reasonable to abuse a gas. Many diseases have similar symptoms on the surface, but the substance is very different. (2) The name of the medicine should be accurate, and the dosage should be grasped. Most of the prescriptions are handed down or scattered in the folk by word of mouth, the experience component is more, many drugs with the same name or different things with the same name of the phenomenon is quite a lot. Therefore, in the name of the drug, usage, dosage and so on, there is inevitably a certain degree of error. Even if the relevant newspapers, news media introduced by the prescription, should be carefully screened, not blindly used. (3) If the patient is taking other medicines while using the prescription, he should pay attention to whether the medicine or food in the prescription has contraindications with other medicines or increases the toxicity and other problems. (4) If you really want to use this prescription, it is best to take it up and find experienced experts for consultation and guidance to help analyze whether its ingredients are highly toxic, whether there are contraindications in drug compounding, whether the dose of toxic drugs is excessive, and the possible adverse reactions.
