Regarding the origin of Zhang Wuben, recently, a forum user broke the news that Zhang Wuben was an employee of Beijing Knitting Factory No.3 (now Tongniu Group), and his wife and father were employees of the factory, not from a "family of Chinese medicine practitioners".

In order to find out the truth, on the evening of May 12, a reporter from Life Times came to Zhang Wuben's former residence, a neighborhood near the East Third Ring Road in Beijing, and happened to meet an uncle who had lived here for nearly 20 years. He knew the reporter's purpose.

Later, he said, "You mean Zhang Wuben. I saw it on TV, too I was quite puzzled at the time. Isn't this Lao Zhang's son? It's worth it. "The old gentleman said that his father would give people massage and acupuncture.

Yes, but I have never heard of a family of Chinese medicine. We have lived here for so many years and haven't seen them.

In addition, two aunts who used to be employees of Beijing No.3 Knitting Factory said that Zhang Wuben was indeed an employee of Beijing No.3 Knitting Factory, and his wife and father were also employees of the factory. An aunt said that Zhang Wuben was with her.

In the same workshop, he is mainly responsible for maintaining the machine. At that time, he was not a doctor, so he probably went to study after he was laid off. Another aunt shook her head and smiled meaningfully at the question "Is his father the health care doctor of the national leader?".

I haven't heard of it, saying that Zhang Wuben used to sell calcium tablets as health care products.

"Zhang Wuben Phenomenon" is thought-provoking.

In the investigation and interview, people paid unprecedented attention to Zhang Wuben and "Mung Bean Theory". Believe it or not, you have formed a social phenomenon, and more and more people feel the need to think calmly. Almost all the experts interviewed told Life Times

Zhang Wuben's statement is indeed correct, but it is also mixed with a lot of unscientific information, and nine truths are mixed with a lie, which is even more misleading. In fact, this fear has become a reality. According to Chengdu Business Daily,

Tao, someone has caused stomach pain, dysmenorrhea and other problems because of drinking mung bean soup. Some netizens posted that on the 18th day of the first month, he spent 2,000 yuan to see Zhang Wuben's mung bean soup and melon juice, but now they have no effect and added them.

Less trouble.

"Zhang Wuben Phenomenon" is not a case. Now the health theory is on fire, and the appearance of health expert BLACKPINK is dazzling, and there is only money. Tian Xiangyang, an expert from the China Health Education Center of the Ministry of Health, believes that modern people are right.

Passion for health is its soil, but this soil is not yet mature. A survey conducted by the Ministry of Health last year showed that the overall level of health literacy of Chinese residents was 6.48%. Coupled with the professionalism of medicine, many people can't tell the truth from the false.

And some so-called "experts" often grasp the psychology that everyone wants to take shortcuts and get sick as soon as possible, and often break out amazing words. Liu, vice president of China Health Education Association, read half an episode of Encyclopedia of Zhang Wuben.

Frankly speaking, she always wanted to know who named these people, such as "the first person" and "the godmother". "Their fame is inseparable from the enthusiasm of the media, and the media should check their identity and qualifications more seriously." Li Jiren, Master of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Tell the reporter of Life Times that Chinese medicine pays attention to syndrome differentiation, and it is also a body identification. Everyone has different constitutions and diseases, so casual makeup is definitely harmful. At present, many health-preserving statements that have been heated by the media are too absolute and very careless.

It can be said that it is the fault of the country and the people!

Tian Xiangyang called on the media to raise the threshold for publishing health information. There should be a medical expert advisory group to "escort" the media, on the one hand, to ensure that experts are truly qualified, on the other hand, to check the content dissemination. As an ordinary person, a

Be sure to ask "why" more: why did he say that? Where is the scientific basis? What do other experts think? Calm down and question more. Too mysterious things are not credible, and it is easy to blindly spend money and get sick.

Some experts even asserted that Zhang Wuben was just a "flash in the pan". Only by spreading the truth with scientific basis can it last long. What fell from the "altar" and Dr. Liu are all lessons from the past.

Argument 1: "Universal" dietotherapy-65438+0 kg mung bean boiled water every day. Among Zhang Wuben's theories, the most famous one is "Mung Bean Theory", which can not only cure myopia, diabetes and hypertension, but also cure tumors. In this regard, the whole country

Xiang En, a famous old Chinese doctor and chief expert of the China-Japan Friendship Hospital of the Ministry of Health, said helplessly: "It's ridiculous to say that a pound of mung beans can cure diseases!" Mung bean soup does have the functions of clearing away heat and toxic materials, relieving summer heat and benefiting water.

However, ancient books also record that it will react with the related components of drugs, thus reducing the efficacy. People who are taking various drugs, especially Chinese medicine decoction, must be careful to drink mung bean soup.

Can this prescription cure all diseases? Wang Guowei, vice president of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, commented that there are two things people should know. First, Chinese medicine pays attention to treatment based on syndrome differentiation, overall treatment and treatment based on symptoms. Dietotherapy also varies from person to person, no

Different people have different methods, and different seasonal conditioning methods are different. Second, Chinese medicine has always paid attention to "giving priority to treatment, supplemented by dietotherapy", and it is necessary to be cautious to treat diseases solely by dietotherapy.

Argument 2: antihypertensive drugs can cause cerebral infarction and renal failure, and diabetic complications are also eaten by taking medicine. Zhang Wuben said that antihypertensive drugs not only dilate blood vessels and cause cerebral hemorrhage, but also damage the kidneys. Of the 65,438+00 dialysis patients, 9.5% were.

Drug-induced poisoning, 8 cases are the result of long-term medication. Hearing this, Wang Wen, secretary general of China Hypertension Union and chief physician of Cardiology Department of Fuwai Cardiovascular Hospital of China Academy of Medical Sciences, said angrily, "This is totally unfounded.

Basic medical knowledge! Once a person suffers from high blood pressure, he may eventually get heart disease, cerebrovascular disease and kidney disease. If they don't take medicine, the risk of these complications is greater. Peking Union Medical College Hospital Diabetes Center

Xiang Hongding, director and chairman of Beijing Diabetes Prevention and Treatment Association, also said that it is an indisputable fact that many large-scale clinical studies in the United States, Britain and other countries show that correct hypoglycemic, antihypertensive and lipid-lowering treatments are conducive to the prevention and treatment of complications.

Real. The positive effects of any mature drug are stronger than its side effects. Diet is very important, but it can't replace the necessary medication.

Argument 3: Don't drink yogurt, the thickener inside will block blood vessels. In this regard, Professor Cheng Yiyong, chairman of the China Nutrition Society, retorted that not all yogurts are thickened. To say the least, even if it is used, as long as it is in accordance with the country.

Standard household use will not cause harm to human body. Moreover, the thickener itself will not cause blood vessel blockage at all, which is very ignorant. "For a long time, the field of nutrition has always considered yogurt as the most recommended milk system.

Products, it contains high-quality protein, high calcium content, nutrition is second only to human milk. "

Argument 4: Eating raw eggplant is equivalent to taking lipid-lowering drugs, which can not only absorb oil, but also cure blood fat viscosity and tumors. Professor Li Ritter, deputy director of the National Food and Nutrition Advisory Committee and food college of China Agricultural University, said that eggplant

It is really good for supplementing human dietary fiber, but it is an ordinary vegetable, and its nutrition may not be better than that of dark green leafy vegetables. Wang Yi, director of dietotherapy and nutrition department of Guang 'anmen Hospital of Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, also told reporters that in Chinese medicine,

Eating raw eggplant does have certain effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, promoting blood circulation and relieving pain. Eggplant extract can lower serum cholesterol. But this way of eating is not suitable for everyone, and the intake of people with different constitutions should also be mentioned.

After all, we can't generalize.

Argument 5: Hypertensive patients should make great efforts to supplement calcium: 3000 mg for women and 4000 mg for men. The recommended intake of calcium in China is 800 mg for adults and 0/000 mg for the elderly. Calcium is the most tolerant.

The maximum dose (UL) is 2000 mg. "This proposal refers to the already high international standards. Zhang Wuben's prescription is four times the recommended amount. Once you eat too many calcium tablets, it will easily lead to secretion.

Urinary calculi, constipation, etc. "Li Ritter said.

Argument 6: How much salt you eat has nothing to do with blood pressure. "Of course! Salt is a risk factor for hypertension. The Survey Report on Nutrition and Health Status of China Residents, involving 200,000 people, shows that China's per capita daily salt intake has reached12g, far exceeding the' safety line' of 6g recommended by the World Health Organization. " Wang Wen told reporters.

Argument 7: 80% hypertension and diabetes are misdiagnosed. Wang Wen said that according to domestic and international standards, the diagnosis of these two diseases is very clear, especially hypertension, and the diagnosis is not difficult. "He met an old patient in the outpatient service, believed Zhang Wuben's words, took medicine, and only drank mung bean soup. As a result, his blood pressure went up and he had to go to the hospital to find a doctor. Really harmful! "
