2065438+On March 27th, 2003, homeopathic rehabilitation center in America was accused of false propaganda and was sued as a pyramid scheme. After this matter was reported in the newspaper, the local public security and industrial and commercial departments attached great importance to it. On March 26th, the Wuligou Police Station of Jinan City and the Haiyou Industrial and Commercial Office of Jinan City jointly enforced the law and conducted a surprise inspection of the drug rehabilitation center according to law.
On 26th 10: 00, law enforcement officers from public security, industry and commerce departments arrived at the American homeopathic rehabilitation center in Room 503, Building 5, West Market Home Textile City. The door of the center was closed without any instructions or signs. After repeated urging by law enforcement officers, the woman who claimed to be "Dr. Mao" in the room showed up.
The rehabilitation center is divided into two rooms, inside and outside. There are only a few medicine boxes left in the back room, and physical examination instruments are found in the outer room. No medicine was found at the scene. At that time, "Dr. Mao" was being consulted by a patient who claimed to specialize in nutrition in a provincial hospital, but law enforcement officers could not provide relevant documents when they asked for them. "I have seen the business license before, and I don't know where it is now."
"Dr. Mao" said that the name of the person in charge of the center was "zhangyan", and no one answered the phone when law enforcement officers called him on the spot. Some deceived citizens reported to this newspaper that "zhangyan" had repeatedly called him to threaten him because he was suspected of breaking the news. "Our medicine is imported, and China has no pharmaceutical ingredients."
Dr Mao said homeopathy is very popular in America. In 2003, the rehabilitation center went to the hospital to apply for opening relevant departments, but the hospital did not agree because of various concerns. "The physical examination instrument was developed by Professor Shanda, and it can check the potential problems of internal organs by mobilizing biological waves in the body." In the process of law enforcement, "Dr. Mao" has been recommending and explaining the drugs he sells to law enforcement personnel.
The staff of the US Food and Drug Administration in Jinan said that if its drug does not have a national medicine certificate number and belongs to "three no products", the bureau will pay attention to this matter and will further investigate and verify it.
Extended data:
The draft released by the US Food and Drug Administration on February 8, 2007+2007+65438+2007 stated that the law enforcement of homeopathic products that pose a high risk to patients will be strengthened, including products that contain potentially harmful ingredients or are used to treat serious diseases but have not been proved to have clinical efficacy.
Homeopathy is an alternative medicine first proposed in18th century. Its concept is that a substance that can produce symptoms in healthy people can be diluted and used to treat the same disease. The more diluted the drug, the stronger the curative effect. According to the policy issued by 1988, FDA allows the production and sale of homeopathic products without its approval.
According to the data of FDA, homeopathy has developed into a nearly $3 billion industry in the past 65,438+00 years. A large number of homeopathic products have appeared on the market, claiming that they can treat many diseases from colds to cancer. However, many products are not only of low quality and poor effect, but also contain effective ingredients that have not been fully tested or disclosed to patients, which may cause obvious or even irreparable harm, so supervision must be strengthened.
According to the draft issued by the US Drug Administration, the agency will focus on supervising homeopathic products that pose a high risk to patients, including products that report safety problems, products that contain ingredients related to potential major safety problems, products that are injected rather than taken orally, products that are used to prevent and treat serious or life-threatening diseases, and products aimed at vulnerable people. For example, children's products and products used to treat cancer or heart disease will be regulated.
However, the FDA also pointed out that according to this draft, many homeopathic products are not high-risk products, so they can still be sold to consumers.
20 16 In September, the US Drug Administration said that since 20 10, more than 400 reports of side effects related to children's homeopathic dental tablets and gels have been received, of which 10 people died, and consumers are advised to stop using them. In the past few years, FDA has also issued a series of warnings about homeopathic products such as zinc-containing nasal cold medicines and asthma medicines.
