124 "Chinese Medicine Is Not Medicine"
(Thanks to my friends for my boundary, the young master of the Yan family for his encouragement)
If George had known that the matter of Xiangshui Town had already attracted the attention of the councilor, and even had to help Xiangshui Town, he would definitely be happy to drink a few more beers. But he didn't know it now, so he still led everyone to protest at the door of the restaurant.
Liu Heming didn't know how much this incident had some influence on his side, but even if he knew, he wouldn't take it to heart. Now where does he still have the heart to think about the affairs of Xiangshui Town, what he remembers is the standard lake in the pasture, as well as the disposal of those sweet potato stems.
In the past two days, he has not attacked the lake and sweet potato stalks, just thinking about how not to attract the attention of others. It's okay to talk about the lake, even if you feed the animals water, it won't attract attention, but the sweet potato stalks are used to feed the pigs, and if you make a big fuss, it's hard to explain.
So he was also waiting, waiting for official news from Sasha's classmate Janet, and then he would finally be able to have an excuse.
received a call from Sasha, Janet had already come over, Liu Heming said to George, and then took Alex and the bear children to absent from work.
"Dexter, we've got the test results. I'm sorry, because there has been no supervision and testing for your side before, so this USDA certification has not passed. After seeing Liu Heming, Janet said very regretfully.
"Janet, I can't understand that. If I have your supervision for next year's planting, will I be able to obtain this USDA certification?" asked Liu Heming after thinking for a while.
Janet nodded, "As long as we have enough detailed data and your farm can meet the standards, I think it is still very possible to get USDA certification." ”
"I'm sorry, I wanted to help you fight for sweet potatoes, but it still doesn't match our evaluation rules. And the places where animal manure is processed in your pasture are also close to these planting areas, which is a biological contamination, and you need to improve it in the future. ”
"Well, this is also pollution, isn't that manure the best fertilizer?" asked Liu Heming with some surprise.
Janet smiled and shook her head, "That needs to be treated harmlessly, there are a lot of bacteria in these feces, and there are also a lot of parasite eggs." I suggest that you take this issue seriously, even if it is good for you to spend some money. ”
Liu Heming clicked his lips, but he didn't expect this to be considered biological pollution, and the USDA assessment was much stricter than he imagined.
"By the way, what are the test results of those sweet potato stems on your side?" Liu Heming asked again.
"I'm here to talk to you about this. "The results of the test were a little beyond our expectations, and the beneficial ingredients also exceeded the normal indicators." Maybe this is what makes this sweet potato special, and if we can, we can come up with a fund to help you develop the cultivation of this sweet potato. ”
After Janet finished speaking, she began to look at Liu Heming, expecting his answer.
"Thank you, Janet, for your kindness, but I'm going to do my own research. Liu Heming said with a smile.
"The cultivation of these sweet potatoes is very simple, and now you tell me that the stems and leaves of these sweet potatoes are also very good, so I plan to try it with our traditional Chinese treatment methods, which may conflict with the scientific concept on your side. ”
The sweet potatoes are good, but they are very clear, how can they let the USDA follow and take advantage of themselves. Even if you don't give yourself any money, other people's money is not given for nothing.
"The traditional way of Huaxia, what is that?" asked Janet curiously.
"It's Chinese medicine, or Chinese medicine preparations. Liu Heming turned on the computer as he spoke.
This is also some of the materials he has prepared recently, which are some ways and methods he has searched for traditional Chinese medicine preparations. Although they are all explanations in Chinese, Liu Heming can translate ah, even if some words are a little obscure in translation, he can also replace them with easy-to-understand ones.
Janet heard a lot, she had heard of Chinese medicine, but she didn't know about it, and she didn't know whether it was feasible for Liu Heming to say a lot of things just now.
"Dexter, are you planning to sell it after this treatment?" asked Sasha on the side, frowning.
"Almost, I was just thinking that these sweet potato stems and leaves may have a certain effect on the recovery of animal bone injuries, and if they can be made into medicine, can they be preserved more. Liu Heming pondered his words and said.
"Dexter, that's going to be hard to do. Even if you make it, it's hard to promote it as a medicine. Sasha shook her head.
"First of all, you can't explain the pharmacology of these sweet potato stems, and they are developed through the production method of traditional Chinese medicine, which is simply impossible to pass on the FDA's side. ”
"I've learned a little that there is no TCM practitioner license in the United States, only a TCM acupuncturist license and a Chinese herbalist license. However, those TCM preparations cannot be called medicines and will be classified as similar to dietary supplements. Because if they're medicines, it's illegal. ”
"Ah, there are still such regulations?" Liu Heming's eyes widened.
"Originally, most of the Chinese medicine practitioners are also active in Chinatown. However, acupuncture therapy is legal in the United States, and it is really hard to say these drugs of yours. Sasha nodded.
"So what should I do if I really make a medicine that can help restore bone injuries? After all, Charming Girl can recover so quickly, I think the only possibility is the effect of these sweet potato stems. Liu Heming frowned and said.
Hearing his words, Sasha didn't know how to answer.
The status of traditional Chinese medicine in the West is somewhat special, and acupuncture therapy is acceptable, but those traditional Chinese medicines really cannot be called medicine here. Pharmacology cannot be explained clearly, and the ingredients in the medicine are very complex, and it is difficult to define without a unified standard.
But Charm Girl is a living example of such a serious leg injury, who recovered so well in such a short period of time, no one can give any reason. The biggest possibility is that it is really the efficacy of these sweet potato stems, as Liu Heming said.
"Well, you can do it your own way, and I can do you a favor too. But these really can't be sold as medicines, you can also think of them as a supplement ingredient. If you can, you can also contact Jenny, and if there are wild animals that need to be treated, they can be applied clinically. After a moment of consideration, Sasha spoke.
Now she has a strong interest in these things, and she is also a medical worker.
