Chapter 1128: Leprosy Village
He had been practicing medicine for many years, and he had seen many of these cruel ways of obtaining medicines, even in Japan, in this way.
Thinking from his point of view, he is also not in favor of depriving other animals of their lives in this way. But how could he possibly attract the attention of others with his strength alone?
"I heard that Western medicine is also developed in this way. He Qi Mina said.
In Western medicine, whether a germ is discovered first, the research experts in Western medicine will transfer the bacterium to animals for realization.
For example, first transfer to the mice to see what the consequences will be after the mice are infected with this germ, and what changes will occur during the period.
When the results of the discovery of guò mice are not obvious, these Western medicine research experts will move those germs to higher animals closer to humans. For example, monkeys, apes.
In this way, those monkey apes can be infected with those germs, and those germs will be found in these animals, what changes will be made to them, and what dangers will be brought about.
There is no doubt that these animals infected with this germ are also worse than dead, and even worse than these black bears now.
These are only part of it, and the other part is that before the Western medicine is studied, it will definitely be tested by animals such as guò mice and monkeys, and after confirming the side effects caused by those drugs, a group of people will be tested.
However, it can be said that these Western medicines that have just begun to appear will definitely have side effects, and when those animals are tested, there will definitely be a batch of people who have been brutally killed.
As for the group of people who were tested later, the side effects were not so big, but if they couldn't bear it, they would be treated like guinea pigs, and even the consequences would be the same.
On the contrary, if it is in the field of drug testing, the famous doctors in ancient times used guò themselves to test medicines. For example, Bian Que, Hua Tuo, and even Li Shizhen all test drugs by themselves, and they test the drugs themselves to confirm what the effect will be, whether it is toxic, and whether it treats what diseases, so that they will be used to treat people.
At this point, Ye Chen knew that in traditional Chinese and Western medicine, it was very different.
"In this way, the same is true of Western medicine. Ye Chen said.
When Ye Chen heard that he Qi Mingna said that the researchers in the real room were like this, and when they usually used those animals to make real things, Ye Chen felt that these so-called more humane Westerners were actually the same in nature.
"Pretty much, it's basically like that now. After all, human life is the most precious. He Qi Mina said.
Actually, he didn't say it completely. Among human beings, in fact, whites and developed countries consider themselves to be the superlative. Therefore, black people, and even people from developing countries, are often used to make things real.
Now the Ministry of Health of Vietnam and the organizers of the Oriental Medicine Competition have brought Ye Chen and other contestants and reporters here to visit this so-called industrial park, in fact, it is to show that Vietnam has paid more attention to Oriental medicine in recent years and has made achievements in the industry of Oriental medicine.
To put it nicely, it is the Dongyi Industrial Park, in fact, in Ye Chen's opinion, this is almost the same as a place in China that raises black bears.
Moreover, the price of bile powder made from these black bear bile is so high that ordinary people can't use it at all, and those who can afford it are those who are either rich or expensive.
After all, it's like a person who can afford gold, who can't eat it like that. However, gold is not eaten, at least it can be kept forever.
And these bear bile powders are used to eat, they have an expiration date, and if you don't eat them, you can only pay for them.
However, Ye Chen knew that the effect of this bear bile powder, sometimes, was not as good as the effect of pangolin scales, and even other very ordinary and cheap plants could be used to replace the medicinal effect of this bear bile powder.
In the outside market, the reason why these bear bile powder is so expensive is that it is completely scarce and expensive, thinking that bear bile powder is very precious if it comes from black bears.
Therefore, from these aspects, Ye Chen felt that it was completely possible to abandon this practice of taking bear bile alive, and even stop using bear bile as medicine, but replace it with other drugs that could be replaced.
However, the profits in this are so big, similar to gold drugs, with Ye Chen's current strength, how can he prevent this from happening?
Now after visiting this industrial park, except for Ye Chen and Liao Bingxue who looked at those black bears, and those reporters who felt that this practice was cruel, everyone else felt that it was normal and didn't seem to be good.
Of course, there may be more than 10,000 black bears around the world who are enclosed in this way to collect bear bile alive, and a large number of people die of liver cancer every year.
After visiting here, Ye Chen thought that it would be the place to participate in the finals. When they got on the bus, Huang Xiaowei found that she was taking such a bus again, especially when the roads in Vietnam were not too peaceful, which made her want to vomit again.
This time, when Huang Xiaowei got into the car, when Ye Chen wanted to massage her neck and head, she was obediently half lying on Ye Chen's knees.
When they got into the car, they sat for about 15 minutes, and came to the downstairs of a four-story French-style restaurant, and when they got off the car, the person in charge of the hotel came to pick them up.
It can be said that these days, these contestants participate in competitions, eat, drink and play, all at their own expense. It was only today that the Vietnamese organizers came up with money to entertain them at a high level.
Ye Chen took Liao Bingxue and the two girls into the lobby of this four-star hotel, Ye Chen did not deliberately sit down with anyone else, but when he found a seat to sit down, the other contestants also came to sit down.
Because they were not familiar with each other, Ye Chen and Liao Bingxue didn't communicate anything when they sat there.
Soon, the waiter at the hotel brought a rich feast, including a variety of meats and seafood, and it seemed that in order to entertain them, this meal was rich.
The meal lasted for nearly an hour or so, and the person in charge and the instructor who took the lead in the organizer confirmed that the contestants and reporters were full.
Then, the person in charge of the organizer announced that the venue for the finals of the Oriental Medicine Competition would not be in other places, but in a remote leprosy village in Vietnam.
Speaking of leprosy, everyone here knows that some people have also changed their expressions, but they didn't expect that the contestants who participated in the finals saw the patients and actually went to the leprosy village to treat those patients.
"If you have a fear of this disease, or don't want to deal with such a patient, you can quit the game now. The person in charge of the organizer said.
Then when a translator translated it, Ye Chen could understand it.
For leprosy, which is very contagious, ordinary people will naturally be afraid when they hear about it. However, Ye Chen is a person who studies medicine, how could he be afraid?
