Indian medicine is popular all over the world, does China have a medicine god?
The answer is yes!
"I am not a medicine god" in each box of more than 20,000 yuan of chronic myelogenous leukemia miracle drug, people are daunting, in fact, we also have "medicine god" in China has also developed a miracle drug to overcome leukemia, and the cure is the most dangerous leukemia - acute promyelocytic leukemia. He is Wang Zhenyi, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.
In the past, the mortality rate of acute promyelocytic leukemia reached more than 90%, and the survival period was only about half a year. The new drug developed by Academician Wang has greatly increased the cure rate of the disease to more than 90%. Unlike the expensive 20,000 yuan anti-cancer drug, this drug only sells for 13 yuan, benefiting millions of patients around the world.
After more than 70 years of medical practice, Academician Wang, who is now 97 years old, still insists on going to the doctor and doing health education, and today Xiao Ai will introduce you to the story of our "Chinese medicine god".
One or eight years of hard work to make cancer cells change from evil to righteousness
In 1959, Wang Zhenyi's work focus shifted from blood diseases to leukemia research, and in half a year, he witnessed more than 60 patients slowly leaving one by one, and the results of the first direct face of leukemia ended in failure... The healer is benevolent, and in the face of such a result, he is helpless and sad, but he has nothing to do, and spends every day in torment.
After nearly 20 years of research, Wang Zhenyi proposed a world-first and bold idea in 1978 - to use the theory of induced differentiation to transform cancer cells into evil. At that time, the mainstream treatment for leukemia was chemotherapy, but the 5-year survival rate after chemotherapy was only 10 to 15%.
After eight years of struggle and exploration, countless methods and drugs were tried in the middle, and it was finally found that all-trans tretinoin can induce M3 cells to differentiate into normal cells in vitro.
Second, at the risk of discrediting, save the little girl whose life is only 7 days left
In 1986, the Department of Hematology of Shanghai Children's Hospital admitted a small patient with acute promyelocytic leukemia, the little girl had a high fever, bleeding, and her condition was very critical, it happened that Wang Zhenyi's wife was her attending physician, and the little girl was directly diagnosed when she received the treatment - she did not live for seven days.
Faced with a young life, Wang Zhenyi was unwilling to give up. Risking his own discredit, he desperately persuaded his wife and family to let him "give it a go" and treat the little girl with all-trans tretinoin-induced differentiation therapy. Unexpectedly, a miracle really happened! After a week of treatment, the little girl's body temperature gradually returned to normal, and various indicators also tended to be normal, and Wang Zhenyi snatched the little girl's life from the hands of the god of death!
Now, more than thirty years later, the little girl is still alive and healthy...
Third, give up the patent of new drugs only sell for 13 yuan, not the property of the sick
As a doctor, Wang Zhenyi never thought of applying for a patent for all-trans tretinoin to get rich, and from beginning to end there was only one idea to "cure the disease and save people". This drug is actually very cheap, initially only Academician Wang's hospital production, selling 13 yuan a box, a box of 30 capsules can be taken for 10 days, the condition can be alleviated after about 1 month.
At that time, as a unique "sales channel", all-trans retinoic acid was naturally very popular, and demanders from all over the country and even foreign countries would come to buy it. The United States sold 180 US dollars, and Academician Wang's hospital price has always been 13 yuan, until the state stipulates that hospitals can not make drugs, no manufacturers are willing to produce drugs with such low profits, and once faced production stoppage. Up to now, only one pharmaceutical factory in Shandong produces, the price is 290 yuan 10 pills, compared to other sky-high anti-cancer drugs, not expensive.
Academician Wang Zhenyi is known in the medical community as the "father of cancer-induced differentiation", and now at the age of 97, in addition to this achievement, he also has a strong say in longevity.
Fourth, how to live a long and healthy life, he also has something to say
Academician Wang Zhenyi has been seriously ill three times, and his understanding of life is only 16 words: "reasonable arrangement, contentment, use of the brain, kindness and forgiveness", these sixteen words, he has practiced with his life.
1. Insist on exercise and walk for half an hour every day
In his old age, Academician Wang's legs and feet became less flexible, but he still insisted on walking for half an hour every day. When the two legs are not stable, he continues to move with the help of the power of the "third leg", the crutches.
Harvard Medical School has published a study in JAMA Internal Medicine, which found that people who walked 7500 steps a day compared with 2700 steps a day were associated with a 60% lower risk of all-cause death, and the elderly walked 7500 steps a day were most beneficial to longevity.
2. Insist on a diversified diet and be an omnivore
Academician Wang joked in an interview that he is an "omnivore", the daily diet has animal protein, plant protein, fruits and vegetarians, and has been insisting on food diversification for many years, eating everything, but not eating anything.
Statistics from a 2015 randomized sample survey of the elderly over the age of 60 showed that the proportion of malnutrition among the elderly was close to 60%. Dietary diversification allows the body to consume enough nutrients to ensure that all functions in the body can function normally, which has great benefits for longevity.
3, do not smoke, do not drink, do not stay up late
Among the factors affecting human health, bad living habits account for about 60%. At this point, Academician Wang has done a very good job, he does not smoke, does not drink, does not stay up late, and maintains healthy living habits for decades.
Both tobacco and alcohol are listed as carcinogens by WHO, and the harm caused to the body by long-term smoking and drinking is self-evident. A research team at Kyoto University in Japan has conducted a study that found that bad habits such as smoking and drinking will greatly accelerate the speed of oncogene mutations, and it can even be directly said that smoking and drinking will lead to cancer.
4. Insist on learning, live to learn from the old
Academician Wang never stopped learning in his life, and at the age of 72 he began to learn to use computers. He believes that the computer Internet is a source of new knowledge, and the problems that appear in the patient are the "examination papers" given to him, and he has been insisting on "open examinations" for more than ten years. Students submit the incurable diseases they encounter clinically as "examination papers", he searches for literature on the Internet, thinks about and analyzes them, conducts "answer sheets", and discusses and moves together every Thursday.
Regular use of the brain is beneficial for the elderly to prevent diseases. Scientists Biger and Coleman have found that the elderly who often use their brains will have more developed brain cells, stronger brain power, and increased lifespan. On the contrary, some elderly people who often do not use their brains will have degenerative changes, causing alzheimer's diseases and other diseases to appear.
Everyone's success is not easy, and Academician Wang's decades of persistence have made him "successful". Even after his achievements, he still did not forget his original intention, he was only dedicated to treating diseases and saving people, and he deserved to be remembered by everyone! #Health Star Program ##谣零零计划 #
