Reporter: Prof. Yang, invisible acupuncture is your invention, invisible acupuncture you have the most to say, please talk about the invention of invisible acupuncture and invisible acupuncture concept proposed by the process.
Professor Yang: The invisible acupuncture product was invented in 2005, and the concept of invisible acupuncture was formally put forward at the end of 2005. In the first half of 2005, after years of repeated trials, we have come up with a nanomaterials made of the human body acupuncture points can have heat numbness distension pain stimulation of the small piece, after many people volunteer trial effect is very good. Later, we found several hospital doctors use clinical effect is particularly remarkable. We consider what name to take for approval? At that time, taking into account the FDA approval issues, that positioning in the field of rehabilitation, may be better approved some, it is called the rehabilitation chip, the results of the rehabilitation chip as a medical device, in September 2005 to obtain the registration approval. With the approval, with the product, there is still no good promotion of the concept, it is not clear what we want to sell. 2005 November, I met the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine Science and Technology Center, Mr. Ren Yandong, who is a Chinese academician Professor Shi Xuemin's doctor, he tried the product and said that the Rehabilitation Chip on the human body acupuncture points have a kind of radical effect, it is a kind of acupuncture effect. Of course, this kind of acupuncture is not to tie needles, no silver needles, no burning moxibustion, no electricity, no magnetism, is passive, and non-invasive and painless, can be repeated thousands of thousands of times, it's amazing. The two of us thought hard for a while, and came up with an inspiration: called invisible acupuncture. This is how the concept of invisible acupuncture was born. Later, I wrote a paper on invisible acupuncture rehabilitation chip, which was read in the 3rd International Congress of Traditional Medicine, and the concept of invisible acupuncture had an impact on Chinese medicine. 2006, Dr. Xu, Dr. Ren, and I wrote a book, "Ultra-therapeutic Treatment - Invisible Acupuncture Meridian Therapy", published by China Science and Technology Publishing House, which was very popular and printed a few times. popular , printed several times. This monograph, the President of the World Federation of Acupuncture and Moxibustion Societies, China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture and Moxibustion Research Institute Deng Liangyue, Director of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Chinese Acupuncture and Moxibustion Society, Vice President of the preface to the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Prof. Shi Xuemin, agreed with the reference to the invisible acupuncture and moxibustion, invisible acupuncture and moxibustion has been the concept of the concept of a certain degree of visibility in China and even in the world.
Prior to this (since 2005 up to five thousand years) is never the concept of invisible acupuncture, now the market to engage in counterfeiting products that they invented invisible acupuncture, or invisible acupuncture written as invisible acupuncture to steal the concept, are false. Later, from the perspective of material science, I divided acupuncture into three generations:
The first generation is called natural material acupuncture, such as acupuncture stone, bone needle, bamboo needle, etc.;
The second generation is called metal material acupuncture, such as copper needle, iron needle, gold needle, silver needle, and stainless steel needles used in the mainstream now;
The third generation is called invisible acupuncture, i.e., there is no shape of the needle, and acupuncture stimulation of passive nano new material acupuncture.
At a conference in Beijing, Prof. Shi of Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine argued that the third generation of invisible acupuncture should be changed to the fourth generation of acupuncture, because electro-acupuncture is the third generation of acupuncture, invisible acupuncture is the fourth generation of acupuncture. I think it makes sense that electro-acupuncture is also a revolution in acupuncture tools. Acupuncture tools from natural materials to metal materials is a tool revolution, metal acupuncture to be better than stone needles, bone needles, bamboo needles, wooden needles; from metal materials acupuncture to electromagnetic acupuncture is also a tool revolution, which will be the power source, magnetic source, including the laser energy applied to acupuncture, there are needles plus there is a source of better than the ordinary gold needles, silver needles, steel needles; from the electromagnetic acupuncture to the invisible acupuncture is a tool revolution, which will be the acupuncture tool to change into the No needles and no source, relying on new material technology, to solve the problem of acupuncture pain and ensure the efficacy of acupuncture. Therefore, Prof. Shi's objection to me I gladly accept, invisible acupuncture should be positioned in the fourth generation of acupuncture.
Journalist: You have been awarded the invention patent and utility model patent for invisible acupuncture, what is the scope of protection of the patent? How to protect the intellectual property rights of invisible acupuncture?
Professor Yang: Last year, the Chinese Patent Office has granted a utility model patent certificate to my patent application of "Invisible Acupuncture Therapeutic Apparatus", and recently, my another invisible acupuncture invention patent, i.e., Invisible Acupuncture Rehabilitation Chip invention patent, has also been examined and approved by Chinese Patent Office, and granted as a patent for invention in China. Invisible Acupuncture Utility Model Patent protects the structure of Invisible Acupuncture, Invisible Acupuncture Invention Patent protects the composition and production process of Invisible Acupuncture and the products made. Any unauthorized use of my patent composition materials and process of all stimulation of meridian points of all kinds of rehabilitation, treatment, health care products, are involved in my invisible acupuncture patent infringement. According to China's new patent law, counterfeiters of other people's patents, in addition to civil liability, confiscate all the illegal income, may be combined with a fine of four times the illegal income; no illegal income, may be fined 200,000 yuan; constitutes a crime, shall be investigated for criminal responsibility. Therefore, engage in counterfeiting invisible acupuncture, patent infringement penalties are very severe, generally filed and investigated, the fine may be more than 1 million, the loss is not worth the gain. Now on the market, some people do not really have a patent, write a fake patent number, said he also applied for a patent, want to deceive consumers, this is also very stupid, on the one hand, the original invention has been in the first, a look at the time you apply for a fake after the time is, on the one hand, according to the Patent Law, Article 59 provides that, in order to pretend to be a patented product with a non-patent product, a non-patent method pretending to be a patented method is also a violation of the law, punishable by a fine of up to 20,000,000 yuan. It is also an offense punishable by a fine of less than 200,000 yuan. Moreover, there is also a crime of manufacturing counterfeit and shoddy products in China, which can hold the counterfeiters criminally liable. Now, the Chinese government has taken intellectual property protection as a national strategy to combat counterfeiting and counterfeiting is very strong, engaged in counterfeiting and counterfeiting products harmful to people, may be prosecuted at any time, in addition to unethical to be condemned by the conscience, in the economy is really not worth the loss.
Journalist: Prof. Yang, please talk about the clinical efficacy of real and fake invisible acupuncture what are the differences?
Professor Yang: We invented the invisible acupuncture rehabilitation chip, is after a large number of clinical empirical research, only to confirm its clinical efficacy is really reliable. 2005, we have done in dozens of hospitals in the clinical, including Hunan, Shandong, Guangdong, Chongqing, Beijing and other provinces and cities of the hospitals, which has a 10 three hospitals, five are the National Pharmacology Clinical Laboratory, they are in accordance with GLP requirements for clinical research, proved that our invention of the invisible acupuncture rehabilitation chip, the invisible acupuncture rehabilitation chip, is a good choice. They do clinical research according to the requirements of GLP, which proves that the invisible acupuncture rehabilitation chip invented by us does have reliable efficacy in the clinic. Especially, the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine (SACM) included the rehabilitation chip in the project of promoting scientific and technological achievements of SACM on August 10, 2007 after expert evaluation. In 2008, the Science and Technology Department of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine screened the Rehabilitation Chip into the "Demonstration Research on the Standardization of 50 Clinical Diagnostic and Treatment Techniques of Traditional Chinese Medicine Characteristics". In 2009, the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine "invisible acupuncture treatment of osteoarthritis technology standardization research" in the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine Guang'anmen Hospital was officially launched, has now been completed, the State Ministry of Health, the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine will be completed as a suitable technology for the promotion of the use of hospitals in the country. This proves that the clinical effect of the real invisible acupuncture is confirmed by clinical hospitals with high professional standard and even by the state authorities, but the fake invisible acupuncture has never done the clinical research in hospitals, not to mention the national research, and the clinical effect is not provable. Some of them have copied some information, but they are not able to withstand the verification. Therefore, the clinical efficacy of fake invisible acupuncture is not guaranteed at all.
Journalist: May I ask Prof. Yang what is the difference between the real and fake invisible acupuncture in terms of production process and quality?
Professor Yang: the real invisible acupuncture is strictly in accordance with the invention of the process requirements of production, fake invisible acupuncture is only imitation of the shape and surface effect, the quality of the essential difference, mainly reflected in three aspects: First, the difference in the composition of the material, the real invisible acupuncture chip is made of a variety of polar materials in accordance with the rigorous formulation of the preparation, in order to ensure that the chip made of the human body's self-sourced energy excitation under the generation of photon flow, Ion flow and electron flow, with the role of human acupuncture point excitation. Fake invisible acupuncture tablets in order to save costs, not at all according to the formula with all the polar materials, most of the polar materials are not at all, just an ordinary clay ceramic tiles, like ceramic tiles, a few cents can be burned from the ceramics factory, that is not useful. Secondly, the difference in material technology, really invisible acupuncture chip is to polar materials with nanomaterials technology processing, so the cost is higher. Nanoscale powder material is more than 10 times higher than the cost of micron powder material. Nanoscale polar materials, can be over 1000 mesh, micron-level polar materials, can only be over 200 mesh, fake invisible acupuncture tablets using powder materials, just ordinary crushing, 80 mesh can not be over, do not have the specific performance of invisible acupuncture. Third, the difference in the production process, the real invisible acupuncture chip to be made into a super-microporous structure, the firing temperature control at 800 ℃ or so, so as to ensure the effective performance of the chip. The low temperature of 800 ℃ sintering and ultra-microporous structure, technical difficulties, counterfeit processing can not be realized. The general ceramic sintering temperature is above 1200℃, otherwise there is no strength, and the polar material may fail if the temperature exceeds more than 900 degrees. Therefore, the fake invisible acupuncture tablets often just get some ordinary ceramic tablets surface coated with a little irritating paint, pretends to be invisible acupuncture, there is no guarantee of any process and quality.
Note: What you said is very important, but too professional, please to the average consumer in the purchase of how to distinguish between real and fake invisible acupuncture?
Professor Yang: First of all, look at what company produces the product. The inventor of Invisible Acupuncture has only authorized two companies in China to produce Invisible Acupuncture products. These two companies are Shennong (Hunan) Biotechnology Co., Ltd. and Shennong (Jilin) Biological Engineering Co., Ltd. In addition to these two companies, all the other companies produce all kinds of products in the name of invisible acupuncture, are fake and shoddy products.
Second, review the authenticity of the information they provide. This includes the authenticity of the product description, the authenticity of the clinical information, the authenticity of the patent information. The basis for the defense of authenticity has already been mentioned. General counterfeit product information is made up, the bull's-eye, a little attention may be able to identify the fake. These companies are generally very poor professional standards, I have seen a company selling fake invisible acupuncture is also relatively famous company, said that the chip does not need to stick according to the acupoints prescription sticker, that or what invisible acupuncture?
Third, check the quality of the product. This point is more difficult, professional quality inspection to detect the composition of the chip polarity material, detection of the chip excitation performance, detection of clinical therapeutic effect, detection of its service life times. Some people ask me whether there is only by hand and experience to simply identify the quality of the method, if simple to identify: one is to look at the chip's hardness and strength, fake invisible acupuncture chip is generally ordinary ceramic chip, very hard, strong, the surface is relatively light, which is ordinary high-temperature sintering, this high-temperature sintering polar materials must have no effect. Secondly, after the chip is cracked, see whether the middle of the fragment is a uniform structure of ultra-micropores, fake invisible acupuncture chip core is generally in the middle of the slate, there is no uniform structure of ultra-micropores. Third, repeated tests of its service life, fake invisible acupuncture tablets more on the surface of the surface coating some stimulating substances, so that it is pasted on the skin with a sense of heat, generally only the surface stimulation, there is no depth of stimulation of acupuncture points, and repeated use of dozens of times after the failure of the real invisible acupuncture acupuncture points depth of excitation, and the use of thousands of times tens of thousands of times there is still a hot and numb expansion of acupuncture points have a stimulation of the excitation of the pain.
Journalist: the current market to engage in invisible acupuncture counterfeit products are who? How to rectify in the future?
Professor Yang: I paid attention to the current market to engage in counterfeit invisible acupuncture products, can be divided into two kinds: one is to set up a company to sell counterfeit invisible acupuncture products, the production is entrusted to the processing. Although they also say that they produce, but in fact they neither know how to produce nor can produce. Some of the people in these companies have sold authentic invisible acupuncture products in the past, and some of them have done some supporting services for authentic companies in the past. They understand the market, and the cost of commissioned processing is very low, so they want to make more money to engage in counterfeiting. One is to help the counterfeit company to produce counterfeit invisible acupuncture tablets processing plant, some of them are engaged in ordinary small ceramics, there are kilns, specializing in OEM firing, some originally engaged in the heating material, also involved in counterfeit invisible acupuncture, but these are very small enterprises, the larger enterprises will not do this kind of infringement of the stupid thing.
These companies engaged in counterfeiting invisible acupuncture although the damage to consumers, but the spread of invisible acupuncture also play a role. Therefore, to rectify the market of counterfeit invisible acupuncture, I advocate the use of both suppression and pacification. On the one hand, we should use the state's protection of intellectual property rights, and severely penalize the sale of counterfeit invisible acupuncture, now with the patent, a hit, hit them once, do not want to turn over again. On the other hand, I advocate that we can also join together, *** with the use of invisible acupuncture opportunities to get rich. In fact, those companies that engage in counterfeiting invisible acupuncture is not easy, they are some tiny companies, it is more difficult to make money, engage in a bit of counterfeiting to reduce the cost of their own to reduce the market risk, in fact, to engage in counterfeiting they are more than they can afford to lose. There is a company is a husband and wife company, 2007 business failure to friends borrowed 800,000 cash, do Shennong (Jilin) company's invisible acupuncture products, a year down the income of more than 2 million, but also off the loan and costs and fees, but also earn hundreds of thousands of dollars, in 2008, due to the husband and wife have something for the funds used for other ways. But then they mistakenly believe that friends into a batch of counterfeit invisible acupuncture, sold to consumers have asked for a return, they look for counterfeit manufacturers to return the return can not be returned, the pressure of hundreds of thousands of dollars, from a fainting, forced to do everything possible to digest the backlog of counterfeit invisible acupuncture, their own credibility is getting worse and worse. Those factories that help to process counterfeit invisible acupuncture are even worse, the processing fee is pathetic, but the pursuit of patent infringement, counterfeiting is more likely to be caught than selling, regardless of whether there is no illegal income, the minimum penalty of 200,000 yuan, they do 10 years of counterfeiting and processing profits earned less than 200,000 yuan, and even more is more to lose than to gain. Therefore, if we join forces with authentic manufacturers, invisible acupuncture this market is very big, everyone that is legal and have more money to earn, exempt from counterfeiting and selling illegal worries, the formation of a win-win situation, which may be the ideal choice for the market consolidation and governance of counterfeit invisible acupuncture products.
