Yun Wuxin, the author of the online article refuting Ma's theory that potatoes are good for health, has a master's degree in biology from Tsinghua University and a doctorate in food engineering from the Department of Agriculture and Biology at Purdue University in the United States, where he is now engaged in research on protein applications.

He pointed out that Ma Yueling's list of potatoes as "nourishing the stomach, invigorating the spleen and inducing diuresis, relaxing the bowels and laxatives, lowering blood sugar and lipids, and beautifying and nourishing the skin" is catering to the public's psychology of "trying to get a cheap and affordable meal".

"And when the green beans farce is a reason. Potatoes do contain a certain amount of dietary fiber. But as far as the amount of content is concerned, a person even if you eat a pound of potatoes every day can not achieve the effect she said; not to mention that potatoes contain a large number of mucus proteins, can promote the lubrication of the digestive tract, respiratory tract, prevention of cardiovascular sclerosis and other effects." Yun Wuxin criticized.

Ma Yueling registered to sell the "holy grail of maintenance," the solid element cream, which once caused a frenzy of consumer purchases on the Internet, Yun Wuxin analyzed in his book "The Truth About Eating," saying, "This kind of stuff is made of Colla Corii Asini, sesame seeds, walnuts, jujubes, icing sugar, and yellow wine, and the ingredients are nothing compared to baked cakes and ice cream. cake and ice cream, and there is nothing more precious about it. The main ingredient in Colla Corii Asini is a poor quality protein that the rest of the world doesn't consider to have any nutritional value. I don't know why it has such a miraculous effect when it comes to Godmother Ma." Ma Yueling, a nurse from Nanjing, has quickly become a "health writer" and "godmother of health" in less than five years. Last year, the Express had reported on its "raw loach" was questioned. Yesterday, the media said that Ma Yueling to loach to cure frostbite, selling solid cream to earn hundreds of millions of dollars, and even the next step will be to overcome "AIDS". This news came out, triggering a collective "onlookers" on the Internet. You should know that the freezing of people is a world problem, the famous scientist Stephen Hawking is still paralyzed in a wheelchair because of the disease, and AIDS is the world's terminal disease.

Question 1: Can you cure frozen people?

The treatment is to warm up the body

Experts questioned the loach sex cold, how to warm up the body

Net declaration: the treatment case is encouraging

The reporter yesterday inquired about the "Ma Yueling health and wellness network", enter the official website of the individual, in the home page there are "Ma Yueling conditioning frozen people" of the relevant information. In a "gradual freezing" Liu Rujie's treatment, the network introduction is this: from May 22, 2010 to July 26, Liu Rujie total **** received 27 treatments, a period of 66 days. After two months of treatment, his symptoms have improved significantly: head and neck from drooping to gradually head, arm from weak to arm gradually strong, palm can be turned, all parts of the body's muscles from uncontrolled to gradually react, each treatment will have a little progress, really encouraging. Ma Yueling declared: "We also want to prove to the world, this kind of ancient disease, is not like the medical said that there is no hope for a cure, we have to prove that this disease we can completely overcome." In this treatment program, the reporter saw that basically the treatment is dietary regimen, such as eating solid cream, raw loach, etc., and sometimes in the acupuncture points at the injection of angelica injection.

Patient: then basically no effect

Yesterday, a media report said that on May 22 this year, the reporter met Liu Rujie in Beijing, who is still receiving treatment. He was not able to stand independently, as Ma Yueling said, and had to be supported or leaned against a wall to stand. Liu's wife said Liu Rujie once stood up and walked 3 meters, Ma Yueling let someone take a video, put it on the Internet, a lot of people see later to find them, "We are still very cautious, only to say that their own situation, did not recommend to others Mr. Ma". She said, but after the Spring Festival is basically no effect. For Liu Rujie stood up and walked 3 meters, Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, School of Basic Medical Sciences, Department of Health and Rehabilitation Director Professor Lin Yin believes that "in some painful diseases, psychological suggestion and placebo effect can achieve more than 50% efficacy."

Experts: so treatment is impossible to cure

Relying on Angelica injections as well as loach and other methods, you can treat the "gradual freezing"? Received a reporter's interview phone, Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital Neurology Dr. Niu Qi immediately answered: "impossible." She told reporters that the "tachyphylaxis" is motor neuron damage caused by muscle atrophy disease slowly, the patient finally died of respiratory failure, from medical research, the real cause of the disease can not be found, there is no way to cure, the existing drugs can only slow down the course of the disease. "We now have about hundreds of acromegaly data in the center, regular follow-up visits every year, because the disease can not be cured, many people are sick and desperate, with a try attitude, to try to use some other methods, but at most play a psychological comfort role, the actual effect is very small, the course of the disease is still irreversible." For angelica injection and other methods can be treated, Dr. Niu Qi told reporters, acupuncture can relieve a little bit of muscle tension in the local conditions of acromegaly, but there is no significant improvement in the condition.

Experts: the principle of treatment does not make sense

On hearing that Ma Yueling's "loach therapy" can treat cryonic patients, Wang Xudong, a doctoral supervisor at the Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the first reaction was: "This is simply a 'big fool! '. Simply hype, completely irresponsible, as if the world's medical problems in the hands of Ma Yueling are not a problem." Wang Xudong said it's like in the skit that makes people stomp their feet and get numb. Ma Yueling is also taking advantage of people's psychology, so that the "gradual freezing of people" a little bit of movement, and then said that there is an effect.

Ma Yueling in his blog on the "gradual freezing of people" is this understanding: "In fact, the name of this disease has already told the cause of the disease, does not mean that the person's body into the winter? Then for the body to warm up, warming, thawing is not on the line." Wang Xudong feel very laughable: "Loach in Chinese medicine on the sex of cold, with loach to treat the 'gradual freezing of people' the principle of this simply does not even make sense to herself."

For angelica injection, Wang Xudong also frankly, this method can relieve muscle stiffness, some of the nutritional effect on the nerve, but the injection of this way is very dangerous, Ma Yueling themselves do not have the qualifications to practise medicine, in the absence of a certain technology, the method of the improper for the patient is counterproductive.

"Tapering is not at all impossible in the slight clinical improvement. But for a complete cure of the disease, there must be many clinical indicators and proofs. If Ma Yueling can really cure acromegaly, it would not be too much to give her the Nobel Prize."

Question 2: Can it cure AIDS?

Allegedly, the next step is to attack AIDS

Experts say it's just plain crazy talk

Media reports said that on June 11, at Ma's residence in Beijing, her assistant handed a reporter a piece of paper recording the "miracles" she had created over the past year. The assistant said that Ma has created more than 100 similar medical miracles, and that "the treatment of 'frozen people' is only one of her projects to explore human health, and that she is ready to tackle AIDS next".

Wang Xudong said, "Attack AIDS? That's even more impossible, it's just a mouthful, open your mouth and say you've attacked it, then you have to come up with evidence." Wang Xudong said that there are indeed very few cases of AIDS people being cured in the world, but this is not universal. In clinical terms, curing AIDS has not been confirmed.

An expert from a tertiary hospital in Nanjing told reporters that even if there are very few cases of AIDS cures in the world, they cannot be replicated, and that AIDS has existed for so many years, and has been called the terminal disease of the century, and that if anyone really conquered it, it would be a real Nobel Prize winner. "In 1981, mankind first discovered the AIDS virus, and by 1988, AIDS patients in the United States reached 50,000 people, at the same time, AIDS also spread around the world at a speed beyond people's imagination. 1992, the scientific community had predicted that 2.5 million people would become HIV carriers in the year 2000, and when mankind really stepped into the By the year 2000, the number of AIDS patients and HIV carriers in the world had reached 34 million, and the number of deaths due to AIDS was at least 18.8 million. It's hard to imagine that AIDS can be defeated by relying on so-called Angelica injections as well as loaches, and if that's the case, why have so many people spent so many years with no results."

Question 3 Can loach be eaten raw?

Experts say: eat raw loach will get parasitic disease

Express has reported, Nanjing, a Ms. Wu, eaten three loach, the results of a rare disease. 2009 March, Ms. Wu heard Ma Yueling talk about health, said the raw loach can get rid of the liver fire, chronic cholecystitis and other 5 kinds of illnesses, "I happen to be not very good gallbladder, heard the program, the next day, bought loach. After hearing the program, the next day to buy a raw loach, a *** eat three, not long, I feel less comfortable." Ms. Wu said, she then went to a major hospital in Nanjing to check the blood routine, the doctor once thought that the lab sheet out of the question, "your eosinophils how more than the routine 8 times more, very strange." Several major hospitals are unable to find the cause, a hematologist asked about the history, Ms. Wu said that before the disease ate three loaches, then this doctor was shocked: "You eat this what to do", so the next day on the hospitalization, hanging water and taking medication for a total of **** spent more than 7,000, is still not cured.

In Hunan, Sichuan, there have been hundreds of cases of raw loach lead to hospitalization of patients. Hunan local doctors after repeated investigation, that is a parasite called spiny jawed mouth nematode. This larva parasites in fish, loach, eel body, a loach body larvae up to 77. The parasite is only 2-4 millimeters long and does not die or develop, but can remain in the body and can only be removed through surgery.

Ma Yueling in the "wisdom of not getting sick" mentioned that the raw loach to remove the head and viscera, washed with water and chopped, after eating the feeling is not as terrible as imagined, there is no strange flavor, immediately get rid of fire. People with red eyes eat two loaches, half an hour later, the redness and swelling of the eyes disappeared, and all the discomfort disappeared after four hours. In addition, people with liver problems, are available raw loach to open the way ...... liver on the disease will soon get better.

Wang Xudong said, loach yin gas, in some specific cases is a good Chinese medicine, but raw loach will get parasitic disease and intestinal infections, loach is absolutely not eaten raw. This kind of even common sense is contrary to the life, but also no medical law to follow.
