On October 16, 2011, his signed article was published on the website of the Gansu Provincial Department of Health. Liu Weizhong stated in the first paragraph of the article that the reform of public hospitals should implement the construction of three mechanisms, including "integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine 10 Clinical path for the treatment of pneumoconiosis using various methods (eating pig trotters, raw radish, raw water chestnuts, practicing Qi circulation method, traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, physiotherapy, oxygen therapy, exercise, singing, and traditional Chinese medicine care),” said Liu Weizhong, Director of the Gansu Provincial Department of Health. Appearing in the public eye is somewhat magical. He attracted attention because he promoted methods such as "eating pig's trotters for dietary therapy" on government websites and Weibo, so much so that some people online called him the "Pig's Trotters Director." In this regard, Liu Weizhong said, some people are scolding me. These people don't understand, but the people don't see it that way.
On October 18, 2011, two-year-old girl Yueyue was run over by two cars in Foshan, Guangdong. When Yueyue was unconscious, someone asked Liu Weizhong on Weibo if he could try traditional Chinese medicine treatment. . Liu Weizhong said, "It will be effective to feed some pig's trotter soup and traditional Chinese medicine through the stomach tube, and then pour some astragalus water. We have saved many people with this method."
Health Department website, Weibo, public reports... Liu Weizhong's voice repeatedly mentioned the effects of pig's trotters, boiled pig's trotters and acanthopanax and other foods on AIDS and tumors. Pig's trotters soup and astragalus water were also regarded by him as life-saving methods. A good remedy. However, in the view of some Chinese and Western medicine doctors, there is no scientific basis for treating diseases and saving lives with this method. Many people called it "ridiculous". Some doctors also questioned Liu Weizhong's professional background and scientific literacy.
In late October 2011, Liu Weizhong said that these methods are indeed effective. In Gansu Province, which has an underdeveloped economy and insufficient medical and health resources, such good methods should be vigorously promoted to expand basic medical coverage. , "This is the direction of the development of medical reform." Zhu Qishang, director of the Occupational Disease Department of West China Fourth Hospital of Sichuan University, said that there is no scientific basis for using pig trotters to treat pneumoconiosis.
“Our hospital is the only tertiary specialized hospital among the hospitals under the Ministry of Health that engages in clinical, teaching, and scientific research on pneumoconiosis.” Zhu Qishang said that it is difficult to discharge dust after entering the lungs. At present, domestic Neither traditional Chinese medicine nor Western medicine can completely treat pneumoconiosis. The more common method is lung lavage, which can alleviate the condition to a certain extent.
Some pneumoconiosis patients have heard that animal blood can cleanse the blood and expel toxins. In this regard, Zhu Qishang said that animal blood does not have the effect of expelling dust from the lungs, because animal blood contains high iron, and the color of defecation after eating is darker, which will make the eater mistakenly think that "dirty things have been punched out", but in fact it is Ineffective.
Can pneumoconiosis be treated with therapies such as singing, traditional Chinese medicine foot soaking, and qi movement? Zhu Qishang said that he did not understand the method of qi movement. Traditional Chinese medicine foot soaking has a certain and indirect effect on the body's immunity. Singing has a certain effect on improving lung capacity, but it has no effect on lung bullae (a type of emphysema in the course of pneumoconiosis). For patients with pneumothorax, singing at full strength not only fails to relieve the condition, but may also induce the onset of pneumothorax. "Pig's trotters have certain nutritional value, and singing may make patients feel happy, but these methods have no direct effect on treating pneumoconiosis."
"Those articles were all written by me personally, and none of them were Let the secretary write it for you," Liu Weizhong said.
Since October 24, 2011, Director Liu Weizhong has stated many times that he studied Western medicine at Lanzhou Medical College from 1978 to 1982, during which he studied 300 hours of Chinese medicine. School study and internship to practice the theory of traditional Chinese medicine.
Liu Weizhong has repeatedly used traditional Chinese medicine to overcome various difficult diseases. Take curing pancreatic cancer, gastric cancer, liver cancer, etc. as examples. Pei Zhengxue, a famous Chinese medicine doctor in his 70s who he recommended, said that he had indeed cured patients with gastric cancer and liver cancer through traditional Chinese medicine methods. However, Pei also said that the success of these cases cannot be replicated. "For example, a successful prescription on one person will not work on another." It may not be possible in humans." Pei Zhengxue said that Liu Weizhong attaches great importance to traditional Chinese medicine. In order to support the famous Chinese medicine doctor Pei Zhengxue's studio, he allocated 500,000 yuan for equipment and master-disciple inheritance.
Prescriptions vary from person to person, and there is no certain number of cases. Can only a few examples illustrate its general efficacy?
Liu Weizhong said, "This is definitely curative" because "the evaluation standards of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine are different, and the success of traditional Chinese medicine cannot be measured by western medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to syndrome differentiation. Use western medicine to measure it. Chinese medicine is like reciting the Tao Te Ching in English.”
According to this statement, does every Chinese medicine prescription have to be symptomatic and specific to each individual? Then why should a certain prescription be promoted publicly? Liu Weizhong said that "varies from person to person" refers to difficult and complicated diseases such as cancer, but the series of prescriptions he recommended have proven effects, mostly target common diseases, and can be applied to a wide range of people.
