"I can bring it to the U.S. as a source of scientific research, and my wife studies botany at university, so maybe that will be done." The patients reunited, and they also encountered the same situation as Ron, and after hearing about Ron, someone immediately thought of a solution, "If it's just a raw material, it should be able to do it." ”

"Okay, then give it a try, then we'll have to learn how to decoction!" Ron took out a decoction jar, as well as a full set of tools such as a rice bowl for weighing medicine, a medicine grinder for grinding medicine, and in order to save his own life, he began to prepare to learn by himself.

"Uh, Ron, I think it's better to use a precision balance?" He was reminded that "it's the same as other patients buying compounds and then concocting their own medicines, and it's much easier to pretend herbs than chemical drugs, and I'm sure we'll learn it soon." ”

Genuine drugs can be sold in India if they can't afford to buy them, and if Indian generic drugs are out of stock or even can't afford this, patients will not wait for death, many patients take the risk of buying raw materials for various chemical drugs to configure themselves, and buying raw materials does not have to bear the drug patent fee, which is much cheaper than finished drugs.

It is not uncommon for them to use various means to improve the accuracy of the effective content of the drug, and to formulate a drug with much greater side effects than the original drug to give them life.

"Okay." Ron looked at the pole and medicine mill he bought in embarrassment, this kind of equipment shouldn't have any mysterious effect, right? Traditional Chinese medicine prepared with modern equipment should also be effective, right? Why don't I call Dr. Cheng again?

The answer, of course, is yes, why use such an ancient tool when there are more precise balances? Many of the patients were familiar with the operation of chemical experiments, and they quickly helped them choose the appropriate equipment, using a balance to weigh the herbs, and equipping the decoction jar with a thermometer to control the temperature more accurately.

Not long after, the Kunlun Golden Thread Snow Lotus was mailed from China, and the patients gathered again, took out various equipment, as well as medicinal materials bought from Chinatown, and began to configure according to the prescription, for which some of them even began to learn Chinese, asking the pharmacists in Chinatown to translate Chinese medicinal materials into English scientific names, and then carefully compare them one by one.

Human potential is infinite, in order to survive, they forcibly memorized the scientific names of these medicinal materials, recognized each medicinal material, and learned the whole process of decoction.

In a dilapidated room, a group of sickly-looking and mysterious people gathered around the stove, constantly throwing all kinds of strange roots, flowers and plants into the jar, which if those who did not know saw it, I am afraid that they would think that they were engaged in some kind of witchcraft ritual.

Three bowls of water were boiled into a bowl of water, the first bowl of medicine was fried, and the big guys stared at the medicinal juice in the bowl, "Eh, it smells similar to the one we drank before, and the color of the liquid seems to be darker." ”

"Come on, I've been in Chinatown for a whole week, and I go to the Chinese medicine pharmacy every day, and the smell of Chinese medicine is the same." Someone immediately retorted.

"Ron, that's what you drank in China? Are you sure it really works? The big guy looked at Ron, and no one dared to try first.

"That's how it should be." Ron recalled, and he picked up the medicine bowl, "Well, since you all don't want to try, I'll try it first!" ”

The big guy watched Ron drink it, and waited until the next morning, but he didn't see anything unusual about Ron, so he also started his own attempt, and the result was the same as the powder he bought before, completely controlling their condition, and there was also a tendency to improve.

Ron's side avoided the danger of drug withdrawal for the time being, and Shen Long's side made new progress, the research results brought from "In the Name of the People" were successfully replicated in the laboratory, and he and his team determined the active ingredients and biological mechanisms in the medicinal materials, laying a solid foundation for the next preparation of chemical drugs.

"The next step is to publish papers, this time it's not limited to domestic journals, you can try the New England Journal of Medicine or The Lancet." Director Qiao said with emotion that he has been engaged in academic work for so long, and he has not mixed up with a paper of this level, although there are reasons for the restrictions of traditional Chinese medicine, but he still feels regretful.

"Will this cause a leak? Being picked up by other pharmaceutical companies to register patents first? Lu Yingying also came to see the excitement today, he asked puzzledly.

"No, drug development is not that simple, if that's the case, who would dare to publish a paper." Shen Long said with a smile, "What's more, it is not possible to replicate it successfully according to the paper, the raw materials are still under our control, this herb has very harsh requirements for the environment, just like artemisinin, if it is transplanted to a foreign country, the active ingredients contained in it will be greatly reduced, and there is no way to carry out normal production, and I have already started patent registration." ”

Hearing this, Lu Yiyi was immediately relieved, he thought about it and asked, "What about Chinese patent medicine and chemical medicine, is there a difference between the efficacy of these two medicines?" "As a patient, the most important thing is the efficacy of the drug.

"There is not much difference, the only difference is that the chemical drugs are more convenient to take, the tablets can be swallowed directly, there is no need to brew with boiling water, and it is more convenient to carry." Shen Long explained to him, "I developed this drug mainly to meet the needs of FDA review and enter the overseas market. ”

"Yes, why just let those foreign pharmaceutical companies come to China to make money? We're going to go out and make their money this time! Director Qiao couldn't help but get excited when he heard this.

It is very difficult to pass the FDA review, which not only requires a lot of money, but also needs to be familiar with the operating rules of the FDA, and has a certain political influence in the United States.

As for the main obstructor, Nova Company, don't worry, they are now being tossed by the black material that Shen Long broke out before, and many countries have recently launched investigations against them, if this is not enough, Shen Long still has the second and third batches of black materials here, which is definitely enough for them to drink a pot.

Ron's people can also be exploited, and there are so many patients in the United States, and getting them to stand up and protest can also push for faster review.

"Xiao Cheng, we can't let our guard down, but don't repeat the mistakes of artemisinin." Director Qiao reminded.
