Imagine the world

Rochard shook his head and said: "It's not us, it's them, I didn't participate. As for whether it's illegal or not, foreign laws can't control Fesuo Port, and the laws of Jili can't control international hospitals, not to mention they seem to be There is no clear law in this regard.

People in power in this country will not interfere in the affairs of the International Hospital, and in exchange for it, the International Hospital will also guarantee their medical safety.

As for drug trials, there are pretty much anything you can think of.At first, many institutions put their laboratories here because it is convenient to do animal experiments. For example, monkeys here are easy to get, and there is no interference from those animal protection organizations... But later, many people realized another convenience. .

Do you know the process of developing a new drug?First do pharmacological and biochemical analysis, then do animal experiments, and finally do clinical trials.The clinical trial is divided into one to four phases, and the cost is very, very high. If the research and development fails, all the investment will be wasted.

And here, the cost is very low.First do a good job of pharmacological and biochemical analysis abroad, and then come here to do the simplest animal experiments, sometimes it depends on your conscience..."

Hearing this, Hua Zhenxing interjected: "Does anyone still skip the animal testing stage and do clinical trials directly?"

Rochard: "Yes, although there are not many such cases, but I have found that a small dose is first tested on individual people, and if there is no serious reaction, then continue. But more cases are that the animal test is not complete, and the data The accumulation and observation period is not enough, so it goes directly to the clinic.

Clinical practice is strictly regulated.For example, in a phase I trial, the volunteers are usually healthy people.The volunteers in the Phase II to Phase IV trials are all patients with corresponding indications, that is, people who suffer from certain diseases take medicines to treat certain diseases.There is also a control group in the second phase of the trial, that is, people with the same disease cannot take this drug, and either take a placebo or other marketed drugs, it is best to only take a placebo..."

Hua Zhenxing: "Just say the main point! I can go back and check the information on all of these."

Rochard: "Drug trials need to sign a responsibility agreement with volunteers to ensure that volunteers are fully informed and adequately compensated. In Feso Harbor International Hospital, there are only patients, no volunteers, they are just data. sample."

Hua Zhenxing gasped: "Those people don't actually know about it? Not only are they not compensated, they are even spending money to do drug tests for others?"

Fesokang International Hospital has a charitable nature, but it is not a public institution in the country. It was first established by an international rescue organization and accepts donations from various organizations around the world.It also charges, and it's expensive, and few people can afford it, except for some simple glitch.

People who don't have money and want to see a doctor can apply for assistance, which requires filling out several forms.There are many illiterate people here, and many do not know foreign languages, so the forms are filled out by hospital staff, corresponding to different charity assistance projects.If you get assistance from a certain project, you can spend no or less money, but after all, some people spend their own money to see a doctor, at least part of the money.

Rochard nodded and said: "In fact, the most important thing is not these. The clinical trials here are not standardized. Sometimes, in order to get complete data in the shortest time and at the lowest cost, even the first to third clinical phases are mixed together. made."

Hua Zhenxing: "How to do this?"

Rochard: "Observation of direct administration, starting from a small dose, some people are given the drug and some are not given it. Those with corresponding symptoms are given this medicine, and those who do not have corresponding symptoms are also given this medicine... Sometimes you can get better results." Comprehensive data is hard to come by even through formal methods."

Hua Zhenxing: "I don't quite understand it."

Rochard: "Let's give an example, such as contraindications and new indications. Usually, the volunteers in drug trials cannot have other underlying diseases, and medicines for digestion cannot be given to people with heart disease. Knowing what the reaction will be, then you can know now, or you can discover that this drug can treat new conditions."

Hua Zhenxing was speechless for a while, and after a long silence he asked, "Are all the doctors in the international hospital involved?"

Rochard quickly shook his head: "No, no, most doctors didn't participate. They came to treat the disease, and their professional ethics didn't allow them to do that, and they didn't even know it."

Hua Zhenxing: "Why didn't you know about it?" Before he knew it, his tone was already interrogating.

Rochard explained: "The situation in international hospitals is also complicated. Doctors from different countries use drugs from various sources around the world, and it is normal that many situations are not understood.

In the most backward part of the world, hospitals often see the latest drugs developed in the most developed regions of the world.Some doctors also know that the sources of many medicines are irregular, but they have no evidence to question them.

In this place, it is good to have medicines to treat diseases. Basically, what medicines are used.Most doctors are still doing normal treatment and taking normal medication according to the instructions.After all, there are only a few people with problems, and even with the drugs in question, most of them can still be cured..."

Having said this, he sighed again: "There are still many doctors who are not even qualified to question, or have no ability to question. For example, doctors from many backward countries, they are just told that there are the latest advanced drugs in the world, It was donated by non-profit organizations through special channels.”

Hua Zhenxing: "There is also a chain of contempt, or a chain of discrimination, within the hospital. For example, doctors from foreign countries look down on local doctors in Jili, and Dr. Luo, you should be at the top of this chain of discrimination, right?"

Rochard didn't answer this question, and Hua Zhenxing asked again, "You found out this inside story in the hospital and collected evidence, so you were hunted down?"

Rochard nodded and said: "Yes, I have collected a lot of first-hand original materials, and I have also preserved some samples, and have mastered the secrets of some people. I don't know that this matter has been exposed, but you called and said Datou Jin was going to kill me, and I knew it at the time."

Hua Zhenxing: "What does this have to do with Jin Datou?"

Rochard: "Drug trials have strict rules, some of which are to protect volunteers, and failure to comply with these rules may lead to faster, lower-cost trials.

But on the other hand, it also has professional requirements, such as how to organize those who do not know to act as volunteers, how to ensure that they are not testing a new drug while testing another new drug, how to follow up and observe... These all need local people help.

This is what Jin Datou does. The Datou Gang organizes physical examinations, sees a doctor on their own territory, and even regularly makes them take drugs that are claimed to have preventive effects. There are special people who do statistical observation. "

Hua Zhenxing suddenly remembered something: "Do you know Shire, the big man who shot his accomplice to cover our escape yesterday. His aunt and two younger sisters fell ill last year, so I asked for your help. The big head gang organized People went to the hospital to be guinea pigs, so why didn't they help send them to the hospital?"

Rochard smiled bitterly: "That's because she is really sick, and it's a deadly infectious disease! The Datou gang members don't know the inside story, only Jin Datou knows that he has money to take it."

Hua Zhenxing: "No wonder Jin Datou wants to kill you, and the person who hired him has to kill you."

There was a hint of ridicule at the corner of Rochard's mouth: "For a mere [-] meters of gold, the big head of gold will be used as a gunman. The interests involved are so great that it can make several miles of countries go bankrupt."

Hua Zhenxing: "You can explain it again."

Rochard: "Actually, it's useless for Jin Datou to know about it. It's not something he can get at all. I'll give you a few small examples. Which group has developed the latest drug, how much does it cost, At what stage of the trial, these data are in the hands of professional people, and they can basically judge whether the new drug can be launched and the efficacy and profit after it is launched.

And knowing this, you will know how the stock price will change, and knowing how the shares will change, you can operate in advance and use leverage to enlarge.This is only one aspect. If these data fall to competitors, the value may be even greater.If some information is made public, it will cause scandals and bring huge losses to those pharmaceutical groups. "

Hua Zhenxing interjected: "Scandal? Scandal of illegal clinical trials?"

Rochard sighed again, shook his head lightly and said, "In Mi Jianguo, not too many people really care about the life and death of Jili people, most people don't even know where Jiliguo is, or even I don't know that there is another country in the world.

But it involves capital interests. If it can find operational flaws to attack, it will be a scandal in the capital market.Do you know how much the market capitalization will change if the stock price of some large groups falls or rises by a few percentage points? "

Hua Zhenxing: "According to this, how many pharmaceutical groups and how many drugs have you obtained illegal test data?"

Rochard: "Documents do not equal evidence. Even if you find out that someone is doing this kind of thing, it is often useless. It is legally difficult to prove that it has anything to do with the people behind the scenes. What I want to have is the complete chain of evidence. , who is leading what project, what are their names, what are their identities, and what experimental data are produced.

Then see which companies have applied these data to the documents required by law, have submitted new drugs for marketing or are in the process of submitting new drugs for marketing.I have evidence of more than a dozen pharmaceutical groups and dozens of drugs, all of which are the largest pharmaceutical groups in the world, some in Mijianguo and some in Luobazhou.

I have electronic backups, but electronic materials are not enough. In some cases, original documents are required. I also got some samples that can be stored at room temperature.The samples and materials are usually locked in the office. Yesterday, the situation was urgent, and I packed the most important things in my backpack. "

Hua Zhenxing: "I can escort you to Miri Airport, but in this situation, you will be safe when you return to Mijianguo?"

Rochard: "It's not that I'm unprepared, and I won't go directly back to Mijian."

Hua Zhenxing: "What are you going to do?"

Rochard avoided answering, raised his head and said, "You want to ask Jin Datou why he wanted to kill me, I have already told you. Now it's your turn to tell me, your training is called Yang Yuan, can you teach me? "

Hua Zhenxing summoned the "system" attentively, and suddenly found that the completion progress of "Task 90.00" had reached more than [-]%. It seems that what Dr. Luo said was basically the truth, but there were still some final situations that had not been clarified.

Chapter 018 Vitality

Seeing the progress of "Mission [-]", Hua Zhenxing decided to keep his word, got up and said to Rochaide: "If you want to learn Yuan Yangshu, then I will teach you. The method is not complicated, the key is whether you can really do it. Now I will teach you the posture of meditation, which is the foundation... Hey, your flexibility is not bad?"

Rochard: "I have practiced yoga, which is also a mysterious physical and mental cultivation method from the East."

Hua Zhenxing: "No wonder, many people can't even squat down on their heels, let alone sitting cross-legged like this... Forget it, let go of your legs, it's too reluctant and affects your state, it's as simple as that. Just sit cross-legged, the premise is that you are stable, just like you are rooted, if you can find this feeling, even if you are sitting on a stool without cross-legs."

Hua Zhenxing spent more than ten minutes teaching Rochard to adjust his posture. He just tried to explain it as much as possible, and let Rochard memorize it first, and then slowly try to find the real feeling.

"Stable" is followed by "Zhong", just like taking root and growing upwards, from the perineum, the tail lug to the jade pillow and Baihui.The perineum is against Baihui, the tail is against the jade pillow, the tip of the nose is against the head... The eyes cannot see, that's what I'm looking for. "Zhong" is followed by "Zheng", the neck is straight and the shoulders are flat, the waist is straight and the hips are flat, and the body is upright, qi and blood are flat.

"Positive" is followed by "Loose", as if Baihui has a thread to lift the body upwards, naturally retract the jaws and embrace the chest, sink the shoulders and pull out the back, relax the body and relax the mind at the same time. "Loose" is based on the premise of "stable", "moderate" and "positive", not just relaxation.

"Loose" is followed by "quiet", which is said to be calm.Getting started with Yuan Yang Technique is not complicated.

The so-called concentration is not mysterious. It is an ability that everyone must master from infancy to adulthood. It is similar to what people often call "concentration", which is concentration.Although everyone can master it, the degree of mastery is different. When used in behavior, the so-called academic scum and academic bully are often divided like this.

It sounds contradictory to achieve a state of relaxation and concentration at the same time, because when the mind is highly concentrated, people are prone to tension and fatigue, which tests the quality of the will and is difficult to last.Usually the closest experience to this state is a bit like finding a comfortable position and environment to watch a movie.

If a person is completely attracted by the film, he once forgets his own existence, and also ignores other things around him... When the film ends, it feels like a dream, which is close to relaxation and concentration. state.But this is a state caused by a single external stimulus, and not everyone can achieve by adjusting their body and mind on their own.

There are unique requirements for the concentration of the mind in Yang Yuan surgery. The first step is posture and breathing to achieve relaxation and naturalness through physical and mental adjustment.First adjust the posture in place, and then stop other conscious activities in a awake state to achieve relaxed concentration.This usually requires a relationship between the heart, and Yang Yuan surgery starts with breathing, and it is abdominal breathing.

There is a term called "Yi Shou Dantian". It is difficult to explain clearly to people like Rochaide. In fact, there is no need to explain or even know the concept.How to guard Dantian?If you think you have a place called Dantian in your heart, you are wrong. "Thinking" means dispersing, and if one wants to disperse, one cannot enter the country. The so-called entry means reaching a certain state.

The way to get started with Dantian is to focus on abdominal breathing.

Where is the "Dantian" at this time?There is no need to measure a few inches down from the navel.Everyone has hip bones, and the center of the line connecting the hip bones on both sides of the abdomen is where the dantian is located, or the approximate location of the so-called "lower dantian".It doesn't have to be found, it is the core area of ​​abdominal breathing, and it can be felt naturally.

There are two types of abdominal breathing, cis and reverse.The so-called cis-style means that the lower abdomen expands when inhaling and retracts when exhaling, and the reverse-style is the opposite.Introductory Yang Yuan Technique requires inverse abdominal breathing. When inhaling, the lower abdomen is retracted, and when exhaling, it is released, with Dantian as the core.

People who have not received special training may find it awkward. At first, they need to be deliberately controlled. This is a process of gradually reaching concentration.The consciousness at this time is not thinking about the problem, but just controlling the breathing and the body. If it is too deliberate, it will lead to insufficient relaxation.

The standard of relaxation and naturalness is to transition from deliberate to unintentional state, focus on breathing, do not need to deliberately and naturally maintain reverse abdominal breathing, and adjust the breathing intensity at the same time, so that it is long and silent...

How to measure that the practitioner has already achieved results, some people say that the lower abdomen is hot, some people say that the whole body is slightly numb, and some people say that the arm will be raised involuntarily.These descriptions are relatively vague and difficult to quantify scientifically.If you really enter the state, you will feel it; if you don't experience it, it's useless.

How long does it take to practice to reach this standard?There is no limit, and it will not work for a long time if you cannot enter the state. If you can enter the state, you may do it in the first practice.For example, after Hua Zhenxing finished his narration, Rothschild was asked to try it on his own. After about 10 minutes, Rothschild suddenly exclaimed: "Hua, this is actually true!"

People are sometimes startled by their own reactions. When he shouted like this, he was out of the state just now. Hua Zhenxing smiled slightly: "Isn't it normal to have a reaction?"

Rochard: "You're telling the truth! I swear I didn't think of anything else."

Hua Zhenxing: "Why are you looking at me like this? If you don't believe me, why should you learn from me. If you want to believe, there's no need to be so surprised."

Rochard nodded again and again: "I really believe it now, what is the principle, is it exercising ability?"

Hua Zhenxing shook his head and said: "If you think so, I don't know if it's right or not. Of course it will have the effect of training, but if you use it like this, I'm afraid you will go astray. At least the nourishing technique I learned is not used like this. It's just the first step in getting started, and the purpose is just to make you feel alive."

Rochard: "What kind of vitality do you feel?"

Hua Zhenxing: "I don't know how to translate this term for you, saying that the power of life, the characteristics of life, the sign of life, the desire of life... may all be a little related but not very accurate, this can only be understood.

The so-called 'yuan' in Yangyuanshu refers to vitality. I can only tell you the pronunciation of this Dongguo Chinese directly. It is difficult to translate it. It uses the same word as the Dongguo currency unit, but it is not a mean. "

Rochard: "I see what you mean, it's so abstract, it's invisible and intangible."

Hua Zhenxing shook his head and said, "You are a doctor, why would you say such a thing? Life is everywhere, and you touch it every day. A doctor's job is to save lives, in fact, it is to maintain and stimulate the vitality of patients. To die is to fail in therapy. It's something you deal with every day, abstract but real."

Rochard: "Can I understand it as the maintenance mechanism and ability in life?"

Hua Zhenxing thought for a while: "You can say that, but don't just define such a definition, it's just one of the manifestations of vitality. Anyway, the old man Yang who taught me told me so, don't take it easy if you don't understand something. I understand it by myself, but I can observe it and feel it.

Dr. Luo, have you ever raised flowers?Some flowers can survive by cuttings, remove two branches and insert them into the soil, water and fertilize.One branch will grow into a new flower, but the other branch will wither, why is this?It is because the former retains its vitality, while the latter's vitality dissipates.So it's visible and it's everywhere. "

Having said that, Hua Zhenxing looked around, stretched out his hand and pointed not far away and said, "Just like that undead rose, which is only less than one meter in size, it has actually survived for thousands of years. It has only two leaves, Nonstop growth, withered tips, leaves shredded into many strips by the wind..."

Rochard chimed in: "The undead rose? It's not a flower but a leaf? I think it's completely dead!"

Hua Zhenxing: "It just looks dead, but as long as the rainy season comes, the green leaves extend from the roots and hover like a rose. You can see that this plant has been alive for thousands of years."

Speaking of which, he was suddenly stunned, because the "system" in his consciousness jumped out inexplicably, and a new "chunrongdan research task" appeared.

This task does not have the signs of [-], [-] and [-]. It appears directly before the unfinished task [-], at the top of the system. There is also a progress bar behind it, but the completion degree is close to zero, but it is barely displayed. And content.

Discovered one of the basic ingredients of Chunrong Dan: Undead Core

Abilities: Accumulate hair growth, aphrodisiac

The method of harvesting and making: The immortal rose plant that is more than a thousand years old can be used as medicine.At the beginning of the heavy rainy season every year, the core of the rhizome is taken, which is about three inches in thickness and one foot in length, and is light green and yellowish like jasper.Dip in ether for cold extraction, and when the liquid color changes, dry in the shade and take the crystals for later use.Or extract its essence directly by the method of imperial objects. The quality is like green granulated sugar, the taste is pungent and dry, and it is slightly poisonous.

The Method of Refining Medicine: Not Available

At this moment, Hua Zhenxing's head seemed to be opened, and suddenly recalled some content in the dream.In that dream, he had read the original formula of Chun Rong Dan, like a thick dictionary.A complete set of Chunrong Pill has 360 pieces in total, and the composition of each piece is different. It is processed from a total of [-] medicinal materials, and the immortal core is one of them.

When refining Chunrong Dan, one hundred and eight medicinal materials are divided into five groups: aphrodisiac, summer medicine, autumn medicine, winter medicine, and traditional Chinese medicine.

This aphrodisiac is neither aphrodisiac nor aphrodisiac, but is used in medicinal herbs to be taken in spring; this traditional Chinese medicine is also not a traditional Chinese medicine, which means neutralizing medicine.

Hua Zhenxing "remembered" these all at once, as if something he had forgotten was suddenly found in his memory, which should be what he saw in the Dan Fang.But no matter how he thought about it, he could only remember so much for the time being.

It seems that how much this "Chunrong Dan development task" can be completed depends not only on whether he can see these medicinal materials in reality, but also on his current understanding ability. Show... Hua Zhenxing was stunned and fell into deep thought for a while.

In the distant night, two old men were sitting in the haystack chatting.Mo Shangtong said, "You scared the child, and suddenly you sent him a task. You look stupid."

Yang Tehong: "It doesn't matter, Xiaohua has a strong ability to adjust. I got him a system and sent him two tasks. You can see that he is very calm! Since he dreamed of something like Chunrong Dan, then Find a way to think about it, don't worry, take it slowly."

Mo Shangtong: "Why did you let him use Chitose orchid? As far as I know, there is no Chitose orchid in any Dongguo medicine prescription, and even the [-]th-turn Purple Gold Pill does not contain Chitose orchid."

Chapter 019 Desires

The immortal rose, also known as Chitose orchid and desert octopus, is a plant in the desert. It can also be seen in the arid grasslands and the Gobi. The humble clump has often grown for thousands of years.Its root system is very developed, the rhizome can go deep into the ground up to two meters, the diameter of the expanded roots can reach seven or eight meters, and the part that emerges from the ground is only a lignified root disk with only two leaves growing on it.

These two leaves are very wide and grow around the root disk. As the leaves extend, they are coiled together like a huge flower. At first glance, the shape looks like a rose. When it dries up, it will be torn into many strips by the wind. Kind of like an octopus.

In the dry season, the leaves of the immortal rose appear withered and dehydrated as if they had died.But when the rainy season comes, the leaves will continue to grow from the root disk.Just these two leaves, constantly scorched and growing, can last for thousands of years.

Yang Tehong shook his head and said, "There has never been such a thing as Chunrong Pill since ancient times. What Xiaohua wants to get is Chunrong Pill, not Jiuzhuan Zijin Pill, think about his dream, Chunrong Pill is a big one. Large-scale industrial production!"

Mo Shangtong: "You can't industrialize mass production. Where can you find so many Chitose orchids that have grown for more than a thousand years? Even if you take its spiritual effect, can't you use Reviving Grass?"

The thousand-year-old orchid is used as the medicine Chunrong Dan, and it needs a plant that is more than a thousand years old to obtain its vitality. This alone almost blocks the way to supply raw materials for large-scale industrial cultivation.Because from a theoretical point of view, even if the millennium orchid can be planted now, it will not be produced until 1000 years later. Who can afford to wait for this?Only wild plants in the natural environment can be found.

Yang Tehong squinted his eyes and said, "Resurrection grass will not work, its spiritual effect is too weak and the dosage is too large, it will be exhausting to harvest and make, and one cannot make a pill bigger than a human head, how do you tell people to eat it?

And it is not a substitute for similar characteristics. There is a process from quantitative change to qualitative change. If the spiritual effect is too weak, it is useless.Otherwise, it only takes the effect of hair growth, so why not use the peeled spring cinnamon twigs?Because what Xiaohua wants to get is Chunrong Dan, not Xiao Chai Hu soup.

After thinking about it, this immortal core is the most suitable.Let me give you an analogy, every year there will be orchids growing. This year, the 1000-year-old orchids will be used, leaving those 99-year-old ones. By next year, those 99-year-old orchids will also become 1000 years old. , it will be inexhaustible when used in this way. "

Mo Shangtong: "A thousand years is just a rough guide. How can we strictly distinguish?"

Yang Tehong: "That's what Xiaohua will worry about in the future. How to protect the origin, determine the adoption of standards, and formulate a sustainable development plan, we'll talk about it later. Can we tinker with Chunrong Dan? Help Xiaohua try it, even if it can be done, large-scale industrial production is still not a shadow of things, I don't know what year and month."

Mo Shangtong: "According to your idea of ​​using the immortal core, it is better to directly extract the essence of the world and use it as medicine."

Yang Tehong glared at him and said, "Is that an elixir refined for ordinary people? Is it possible to achieve mass production? According to your nonsense method, let everyone become immortals, okay?"

Mo Shangtong probably also felt that his suggestion was too nonsense, he waved his hand and said: "If you don't die, you can't die. Anyway, it's still too early for the experiment to be successful, so let's not talk about this. You have worked hard to sort out the secret methods from ancient times to the present, and you have created them. A technique of nourishing the soul, so easy for Xiaohua to teach that foreign devil?"

Yang Tehong: "Is there anything that can't be taught? I created it for Xiaohua to practice, just to see if it has the desired effect. Xiaohua understands what I mean best. You can see that his dream is really wonderful, 500 It has been included in the compulsory education curriculum in the next year! It will be promoted all over the world in the future, who is not taught? Besides, this is not something harmful."

Mo Shangtong: "Then why have you never taught others?"
