Chapter 596 Chinese Medicine in Africa
In the car, Yang Meng was still puzzled: "Brother Peng, what do you mean by giving them cool oil?"
Xiao Peng laughed and said, "Do you know? These two things are hard currency in Africa! Money may not be able to buy them!"
"What the hell, are you kidding me?" Yang stared.
Xiao Peng shrugged: "What am I teasing you for? There are so many mosquitoes on the African continent! And this leads to what malaria on the African continent is really bad." Don't underestimate malaria, which is known to more than 500 million people in the world every year, and at least one million people die from malaria. And Africa is the hardest hit area, and because of the level of treatment, the number of deaths in Africa far exceeds that of other places!"
As early as 1,700 years ago, Ge Hong, a famous medical scientist and alchemist in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, recorded the treatment of malaria by Artemisia annua in his book "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription", and Academician Tu found clues from "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription", and saved hundreds of thousands of lives every year with the discovery of artemisinin for malaria, but in this process, alas, γγγγγγ Don't mention it. β
Yang Meng sat in the back row and hugged the big dog and the puppy with a disgusted expression: "Half of the talk, there are no little balls!"
Xiao Peng said: "This is a war between traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, even if artemisinin is derived from traditional Chinese medicine, there are still many people who spare no effort to discredit the role of traditional Chinese medicine in artemisinin." is afraid of the rise of traditional Chinese medicine. β
Yang Meng scratched his head: "What does the rise of Chinese medicine have to do with them?"
Xiao Peng explained: "You listen to the propaganda of those pharmaceutical companies, the development of a drug, from research and development to the market, often takes several years or more than ten years, and it must start from mice to do experiments, until it is approved for marketing, it costs millions, and this does not include the gray costs of drug promotion, it stands to reason that these new drugs are 'the most scientific finished products', right? But think about it, how to calculate the price of such drugs? There are countless drugs in the pharmaceutical industry with a profit of 1,000 percent! And the low price of traditional Chinese medicine is naturally the target of their suppression. β
After all, most of the whole world is still in the hands of the Western world, and the profiteering industry such as pharmaceutical companies will not watch the rise of Chinese medicine. Especially nowadays, as long as many people have money, they can even sell their own mothers, so what's wrong with selling their ancestors? As long as they have money to earn, they can do it with a clear conscience to rewrite history! Such people add fuel and vinegar to all kinds of smearing our Chinese medicine, and to put it bluntly, Chinese medicine has touched the bread of Western medicine. β
"According to those people's words, how can those grasses and leaves in Chinese medicine cure diseases? Let me give you an example, the anti-Chinese medicine people often tell a story, saying that when Kangxi had malaria and couldn't bear it, Qianli invited missionaries to donate quinine to cure his malaria, so Kangxi gladly agreed to allow the missionaries to preach in China, and from then on, Western medicine and Western medicine entered the territory of China, and eventually developed into mainstream medicine. That's pure bullshit! Quinine was discovered in 1820! And the Kangxi Emperor died in 1722, and they crossed over? And what is quinine? It was extracted from the bark of the cinchona tree! And Chinese medicine has had cinchona cream for a long time! As a result, some people really believe in such a stupid story, and it is still recorded in the regular books published by the Modu People's Publishing House! The media are so uncredible, what do you let the common people think?"
"At present, there are many people shouting slogans calling for the abolition of traditional Chinese medicine, and there are still many people who do not know why they are making a fuss, but they don't want to think about it, if according to the current standards of Western medicine, the preparation and torment of traditional Chinese medicine do not meet any health standards! But the strange thing is that if you drink the soup of traditional Chinese medicine, you will not eat bad stomach and at the same time relieve the pain; while if Western medicine is not made according to Western standards, you will die if you eat it wrong! So what is going on?"
"If someone uses Chinese medicine and the symptoms are wrong, then the media is hyped up, and what if there is a problem with Western medicine? There will be all kinds of long arguments about how the patient is damned, or just the occasional adverse use of the drug. If you commit malaria at that time? Okay! You can't eat cheap artemisinin, so let's eat more than 50 times the price of chemically synthesized artificial quinine! Who will be unlucky in the end? Not the descendants of these people? Blind people will wait for bad luck. β
"Western medicine is really that good? The medical theory of Hippocrates, a famous doctor in ancient Greece, was to attach importance to the significance of diet and medicine in treatment, and to pay attention to dietary therapy, did he feel very similar to Chinese medicine? What about Western medicine later? There were only two kinds of Western medicine, one was bloodletting, and the other was an enema! This is especially useful for fart? But now there are many Chinese people who regard enemas as the most miraculous treatment method and give themselves enemas every day before going to bed. Of course, these are traditional Western medicines, so is modern Western medicine so scientific?"
"Take polio as an example, the way Western medicine treats polio in those days was to put children in boxes and lie down with only their heads exposed; drugs such as co-caine were first used by modern Western medicine to treat people; modern Western medicine once 'scientifically' announced that the cecum has no effect, it is a burden to the human body, and if it is cut off, it will not be due to appendicitis, and hundreds of thousands of people have cut off their cecum because of this, and the result is that later." In the 90s, many children would have surgery to cut off their tonsils when they were young (those who have seen 'growing pains' should have the impression that when little Ben reached the age, his father took him to have his tonsils cut, and his father was still a doctor, representing the group of people who were knowledgeable and knowledgeable. I thought it would be done once and for all, but it turned out that after cutting it off, the human body had one less line of defense, which was more troublesome, which led to hundreds of thousands of people losing their tonsils. Even today, Western medicine does not have its own medical theory system, but Western medicine is not afraid, and everything is solved with the light sentence of 'medicine must continue to develop'. β
"Even if they don't have their own medical system, as long as they don't go all the way, such as traditional Chinese medicine, they will say, 'It's very unscientific and superstitious.'" But in Western countries, doctors are just sub-salesmen of big pharma, and you have to prescribe whatever big pharma prescribes. β
For example, high blood pressure, when doctors tell patients that they have high blood pressure, they usually directly recommend antihypertensive drugs, have they ever told you why they have high blood pressure? What causes high blood pressure? Just ask you to take medicine. However, there are diuretics in the medicine for high blood pressure, which will reduce kidney function, and then cause Alzheimer's disease, hair loss, and osteoporosis.
"And blood sugar, what should I do if I have high blood sugar? Hypoglycemic drugs, insulin, come onγγγγγ However, both of these have side effects on the liver and kidneys, so there is a saying that patients with high blood sugar are either blind or lame for this reason. And the small side effects are the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine. β
"Of course, I don't mean that Western medicine is bad, there are many aspects of modern Western medicine that Chinese medicine can't catch up, such as surgery and scientific research of medical equipment. This is beyond the reach of Chinese medicine, but you can't harm others for your own benefit. You can't just scrap other industries for your own benefit from those big chemical companies, right?"
"Now many people in China say that traditional Chinese medicine is banned in many foreign countries, saying that Western medicine is 'unscientific', I don't understand, our Chinese medicine needs Westerners to confirm whether it is scientific and practical? But it may also be understood that in the eyes of many people, what 'Uncle Yang' said is the standard, that is, the holy decree, and it must be according to their standards, who makes the moon in foreign countries more round? 'Uncle Yang' has the final right to judge. I came up with a treatment for ALS, which can be regarded as making a name for Chinese medicine!"
Yang Meng scratched his head after hearing this: "You just said that Chinese medicine is developing very well in Africa?"
Xiao Peng nodded: "The people who believe in Chinese medicine the most in the world are not our Chinese, but Africans." Willingness is nothing more than two points, first, effective, and second, cheap. The most respected medicine in Africa is traditional Chinese medicine, and one out of every four Africans has seen a Chinese doctor. There are also many students from African countries who come to China to study traditional Chinese medicine. β
"But when I look at the Internet, there are still many people who say that this is just a propaganda tool of our government. Yang scratched his head and said.
Xiao Pengle was happy: "Mengzi, you remember what I said, everyone who said this sentence has never been to Africa or doesn't know African friends." Their IQ can't imagine that the Chinese medicine they despise has such a great effect, or that in order to show that they are different, 'everyone is drunk and I am sober', so they make 'different voices'. To put it bluntly, it is still a manifestation of ignorance, and they do not understand the simple truth that there is no right to speak without investigation. β
"Don't underestimate the cool oil I gave to Rafa, it's definitely hard currency in Africa! Here, this cool oil is a panacea, if there is a trauma, use cool oil; repel mosquitoes and flies, use cool oil; if you have heat stroke, use cool oil; if you have swollen places, use cool oil; sleep with cold stomach diarrhea? use cool oil; and even drink tea with cool oil! Let me tell you, it's a pity that we are here in Madagascar, and there are more Chinese tourists who come here, and there are few permanent residents. If you go to the African continent, you will know how awesome this cool oil is!"
Yang Meng said: "Just how awesome can this gadget be?"
Xiao Peng didn't answer yet, but the car suddenly stopped, Xiao Peng kept turning back to chat with Yang Meng, I didn't know what was going on, I turned my head and startled him, only to see a gun pointed straight at him.
Xiao Peng was startled, did he encounter a robber? After a closer look, Xiao Peng was speechless, and it was the police who set up a card again.
Rafa consulted with the police in the local language for a long time, told them to put away their guns, and then asked Xiao Peng and his dog to get out of the car.
Xiao Peng was puzzled, when he said that he found out that he was a bit stupid when he arrived in Madagascar, it was useless to know French, the language here was too confusing, the local language, Arabic, French, English, etc., there were more than a dozen local languages alone, and Xiao Peng also surrendered. With a puzzled look on his face, Rafa is proficient in French and a little English, so he is very suitable as a translator.
Rafa told the two: "Mr. Xiao, don't be nervous, it's still a routine check!"
Xiao Peng took out his backpack and took out his passport from it, in Madagascar, this must be carried with him, otherwise the police will be fined in minutes. If you don't come to Madagascar, you can never imagine how dedicated the police here are.
After the two policemen checked the passports of the two and returned the passports to Xiao Peng, they said a lot of words, Xiao Peng was puzzled and looked at Rafa: "What did he say?"
Rafa explained: "Mr. Xiao, they say, your dog is beautiful. β
Xiao Peng didn't take it seriously, and said to the policeman: "THANK YOU." After saying that, he opened the car door and prepared to get into the car. But he was stopped by the police officer who took the lead.
Xiao Peng frowned and looked at Rafa: "Is there anything else?"
Rafa nodded, "They said that in order to show your friendship, they want to exchange their police dogs for your dogs, I don't know if it's okay?"
"What's that?" Xiao Peng was stunned. Turning his head to look at their 'Changhe' micro-faced police car, a dog in the car stuck out his head and stuck out his tongue, this is what they call a 'police dog', right?
It was a Madagascar pastoral dog, Xiao Peng didn't know how old he was, but there were not a few in the dog's mouth, so this dog was changed to his own Afghan hound? Or was it a couple? You were born with rain, right? How is it 'damp'?
Xiao Peng shook his head without hesitation, what about you and me?
As a result, he shook his head, and the policeman who took the lead turned gloomy, and he muttered to Farah again, and Farah explained to him for a long time that it was useless, so he had to say to Xiao Peng with a sad face: "They said that there are Chinese people smuggling drugs here recently, and we must carefully and thoroughly inspect our car!"
"What's the matter, they still want to frame him?" Xiao Peng was angry, and glanced at Yang Meng, signaling him to get ready. If the cops really dare to stuff something into his car, he's ready to fight them.
Rafa shook his head, "They don't dare, but they're going to waste our time here." β
A policeman stretched out his hand, snatched Xiao Peng's backpack over, and opened it directly, and there were eight stacks of 'Ariary' with a face value of 10,000 in it, exactly 8 million!
The policeman's eyes changed when he saw it.
Xiao Peng thought that they dared to touch their own money, and they were just about to do it, but the policeman looked through Xiao Peng's backpack and put the money back.
Damn, this girl really wants to waste her time!
