Generally, the placenta contains protein, nucleic acids, phospholipids, polysaccharides, amino acids, minerals and vitamins.
Recently, Chengdu Airport intercepted 2 cases of human placenta injection produced daily from the suitcase of a Korean passenger, accounting for 100. This news once again aroused people's imagination of placental hormones.
It is understood that human placenta extract is a biological product of human placenta, which may carry pathogens such as hepatitis, syphilis and HIV, and has the risk of endangering public health and affecting public health and safety. Special articles under strict supervision in China are not allowed to enter the country without permission. The inspection and quarantine department will intercept the illegal entry of microorganisms, human organs and tissues, biological products, blood and its products and other special items, and return them or destroy them.
Placenta can beautify and even prolong life, which has long been proved to be a scam. However, in today's information dissemination is so convenient, many people still believe it.
Looking through all kinds of regular medical journals, there are almost no placental elements as medical articles. Switzerland, Japan and several other countries put it into production. But his favorite place is China.
Why is this happening?
First of all, placenta tonic has a profound "cultural" foundation. The concept of placenta as medicine has a long history in China. For a long time, placenta was regarded as a conventional medicine. Whether it is the national pharmacopoeia published after the founding of New China or the previous medical ancient books, the placenta is regarded as a conventional medicine in the name of "Placenta Hominis", which clearly has the functions of invigorating qi and nourishing blood, warming kidney and replenishing essence. After 20 15, placenta hominis was deleted from the Pharmacopoeia for safety reasons, but placenta-derived drugs such as placenta hominis tablets and placenta hominis capsules were still recognized as drugs.
Second, there is superstition about the magic medicine. Compared with alkaline water and chicken blood, placental hormone is not abrupt in the list of drugs that Chinese people eat indiscriminately. Like other scams popular in Jianghu, placenta contains some concepts that can hit the "pain point" of human nature. As a result, it has become a universal health medicine.
Third, there is no clear harm in using placenta. Although the possibility of placental hazards, such as spreading viruses and excessive heavy metals, has been discovered theoretically in recent years, there are no specific examples. Therefore, it is not easy to change some ideas formed by people.
Finally, the prevalence of placenta in China is largely related to a rumor. In 1930s, the living cell therapy developed by Swiss doctor Paul Niehans using placenta was interpreted as a magical discovery to delay cell aging. However, in the face of such unfounded claims, no authoritative organization came out to correct them at the first time, so that rumors took root and confused the minds of Chinese people.
In fact, placenta is not allowed in China, and regular medical institutions do not provide related treatment. However, various beauty agencies still regard it as a golden signboard.
Over the years, a variety of health care drugs have emerged in an endless stream, from accumulating wealth to establishing a "memorial arch" to image collapse, and absurd dramas have been staged continuously. Behind the curtain is the great tension between China people's growing health needs and modern scientific medical concepts.
