After being punished by the market supervision department for false propaganda and claiming to have therapeutic functions, the company behind the "core moxibustion tablets", Shanghai Chipplus Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Chipabol Biotechnology"), has not relented in more than three years, but has become more and more under the guise of "quantum medicine", claiming that it can cure tumors and other diseases, and even bring the dying back to life.

The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) recently entered the company as a patient for an unannounced visit. Yang Rengui, who claimed to be the pioneer of core moxibustion tablets, showed a number of "successful" cases of treating terminal illnesses to the medical seekers present, and claimed that many domestic authoritative experts and retired directors of famous tertiary hospitals were his patients, "Those who come to me must be poor in the hospital."

Yang Rengui compared himself to "Sai Hua Tuo", saying that he was Hua Tuo after 1800, that is, "Yang Tuo".

In more than three hours of sales, Yang Rengui claimed that with their company's "Aiduobei" core moxibustion tablet product, the color blindness atlas can be recognized in 2 hours for 59 years of congenital color blindness, first aid for 6 hours after heart failure arrest, which can make the patient get out of bed and walk, and the kidney can become 8 cm larger after 2 months of use for 8 years of severe uremia, and many indicators can return to normal.

The "treatment" process is extremely simple. Yang Rengui's on-site demonstration claimed that holding the so-called core moxibustion tablets and shaking them quickly in the air against the body can resonate with the human body's biological waves at high frequency, open up qi and blood circulation disorders, quickly treat hundreds of diseases, and have miraculous effects on various incurable diseases, especially terminal diseases, and can even shrink the tumor "by seconds".

The reporter was invited to experience it on the spot, saying that one minute can reduce the nodules in the body, and seeing that the reporter did not say "effective", Yang Rengui's face changed, saying that the reporter "will get a lot of diseases in this life" because "too stubborn".

The surging news investigation found that Yang Rengui has no medical qualifications, and products such as core moxibustion tablets are not medical devices, but the company has been established for 10 years and claims to have carried out hundreds of lecture tours in Wuhan, Shenyang, Shenzhen and other places across the country, and many of the people who listened to it were middle-aged and elderly people. The brand has distribution agents in many places across the country, all of whom are Yang Rengui's "apprentices", and the prices of products range from thousands to tens of thousands of yuan.

Yang Rengui said that in Ningbo alone, the sales of core moxibustion series products are as high as 30 million yuan.

Calling himself "Saihuatuo", shaking the "core moxibustion tablets" can cure all kinds of diseases in the air

In early March, the surging news reporter came to the Jiapre Building in Jiuting Town, Songjiang District, Shanghai. Yang Rengui is dressed in business clothes, brand-name watches, brand-name belts, and shiny oil. There is a large white core moxibustion tablet hanging on his chest, and he is wearing white "core moxibustion glasses".

Yang Rengui gave a lecture.

While listening to the class, two elderly people experienced the treatment of presbyopia with core moxibustion tablets.

At that time, he was giving a "lesson" to two elderly men and a number of apprentices in the conference room. The two men wore core moxibustion glasses and two large core moxibustion tablets fixed with bandanas on both sides of their heads, claiming to be treating presbyopia, but the two quickly left.

Yang Rengui said that the two are from a medical association in Hangzhou, "I usually give lectures to the dean of doctors, and their professional understanding is fast, and your words will take more time." ”

Yang Rengui claims to be from a medical family in Taiwan, with a total of 16 doctors, most of whom are dentists. He studied science and engineering, and at the age of 34, he was already a director of two listed companies, and he did not worry about eating and drinking, until he met the "magical" chip and felt that he should do something "blessed". "I want to benefit all living beings. He said.

According to Yang Rengui's claim, people get sick because of problems with microcirculation. The core moxibustion chip, also known as the bioresonance chip and the quantum chip, is composed of three parts: a receiving antenna, a resonance amplification circuit and a frequency transmitter, and is covered with a food-grade silicone film. Through the high-precision integrated circuit to collect the strongest energy of the human body "9.34 micron" biological micro-electrical field, through the principle of high-frequency resonance, it can open up the body's qi and blood disorders and treat all diseases. But he also said that he could not promise absolute cure, because "hospitals do not promise to treat patients."

In order to prove that the product has electromagnetic waves, Yang Rengui used a radio magnetic wave detector to inspect it on site. Peng Xianfeng, the company's legal representative and general manager, also helped the reporter use a microscope to check the blood flow of the capillaries in his fingers, saying that some places have been congested.

"It does not invade the human body, covers the surface with points, has no part limitations, and can be used permanently. Yang Rengui claimed that unlike traditional acupuncture and hospital treatment, the longer the core moxibustion tablets are used, the better the effect, and the effect of multiple tablets is doubled. He pretended to be proud and said, "There are acupuncture, moxibustion, heat moxibustion, and fire moxibustion in China. Acupuncture was invented by Hua Tuo, I killed Hua Tuo, my name is Yang Tuo. He also said that a chief physician praised him as "Saihuatuo, Shenghuatuo, and will go down in history."

In a screenshot of a WeChat group chat, Yang Rengui took several photos of the yellow-green ginkgo tree, saying that because he placed the core moxibustion tablets in front of the window, only the one in front of the window "remained evergreen".

Since the effect is so amazing, why not go into the hospital to promote the use? Yang Rengui said that the core moxibustion tablet product is not a medical device, and emphasizing the efficacy will be punished. Although the hospital cannot be used publicly, he is often invited to give lectures, and he is a lecturer for masters of traditional Chinese medicine and authoritative experts. When encountering patients who cannot be cured, or their own diseases cannot be treated, many experts will privately ask him to "go out of the mountain" for treatment, so they "bond" to join his advisory team.

"You see, the master of traditional Chinese medicine can't even cure his own cataract and rhinitis, I cured him, am I a master?" Yang Rengui said, pointing to a master of traditional Chinese medicine on a group photo displayed in his office.

He also said that since the core moxibustion tablets can treat all diseases in the whole department, if the cooperation becomes famous, the doctors will be laid off and the hospital will be closed, "You are the dean, will you cooperate with me?

In order to let the audience realize the "magic" of core moxibustion tablets, Yang Rengui combined videos, photos and other materials to claim that his products have treated cerebral infarction in 4 hours, cured cerebral hemorrhage in 2 months, and treated uremia, various cancers and other "successful cases".

For eye problems, Yang Rengui claimed that dry eye syndrome and floaters can be effective in 16 minutes. Macular degeneration can take as fast as 10 days, and high myopia in adults takes one to three months, which can be reduced by 150 to 200 degrees.

Yang Rengui showed a video on the spot, claiming that it was taken in front of the bed of a cardiovascular hospital in Xiamen, and it was to bring a dying person back to life.

Yang Rengui said that the 64-year-old heart aging man was unable to return to heaven after installing a pacemaker, and the dean asked him to go for treatment, and when he first took a heart test, the patient suddenly stopped beating heartbeatly, "I was scared to death, I am not a doctor, what if I am sued, I can only be a dead horse (doctor)." He claimed that after using the core moxibustion tablets, the patient's six-hour correlation index dropped by 2 levels, "2 level is 20 years old".

In the following videos, the old man can already be helped to walk. "If you save it, will you be blessed?" Yang Rengui asked the reporter with his finger.

He also reminded the "apprentices" from time to time to memorize the case study carefully, "I want you to help more people, not just bring me to talk."

It is claimed that the tumor shrinks and disappears in seconds, and the reporter experiences no feeling

"I swung in the air for three minutes, shook it, and I shook a tumor [of breast fibers] away. In a video that claims to have been filmed at a cancer hospital in Tianjin, a "female dean" wearing a white lab coat is shaking a core moxibustion tablet in the air for a "patient" undergoing a B-ultrasound examination. Yang Rengui pointed to the B-ultrasound imaging screen and said: "Pay attention here, 1, 2, 3, shrink, right? Shrink in three seconds, 1, 2, 3, shrink, right?" The two apprentices echoed in unison.

At the end of the video, Yang Rengui was still in high spirits, and said in an exaggerated tone, "The doctors present were shocked." I started asking all the doctors, have you ever seen in your life that tumor shrinkage is measured not in days, but in seconds? No, this is called high technology, this is called science. ”

When he heard that the reporter said that he had armpit nodules, Yang Rengui asked the reporter to quickly receive "treatment".

He and the female apprentice stood on one side, pinching the large core moxibustion tablets and shaking them sharply at the sides of the reporter's body. Yang Rengui also looked at the watch to keep time, "Fifteen seconds, this side is gone", "Forty seconds, does it feel like getting smaller?" he asked reporters. The female apprentice on the side kept saying, "There is a feeling, there must be a feeling, and the hard becomes soft." But the reporter did not feel any changes in his body.

didn't hear a satisfactory answer, Yang Rengui, who was already sweating slightly on his forehead, put down the core moxibustion tablets, his face changed, and he shouted at the reporter, "I tell you, you will get a lot of diseases in your life, I promise you, because you are too stubborn." After that, he added, he said that the failure was due to the reporter's suspicion and lack of concentration, otherwise it would have improved in a minute, "99.99% of the time it is guaranteed."

He also said meaningfully: "The truly great thing is your heart." You have to open your heart and resonate with my chip, otherwise it's useless, right? You have to open the window so that the sun can shine in. ”

According to the other party, the retail price of a single piece ranges from 2,400 yuan to 26,200 yuan, and it can be returned and exchanged for no reason within 7 days, and it can be returned for life after sale for life.

The large core moxibustion tablets with 50 chips are claimed to have a retail price of 16,800 yuan.

Among them, the reporter's on-site experience of the large core moxibustion tablets claimed to have 50 chips inside, with a retail price of 23,800 yuan and an internal price of 16,800 yuan. The retail price of core moxibustion glasses is 3980 yuan, and the internal price is 2980 yuan. From 30 days of rental, the large core moxibustion tablets are 50 yuan/day, and the glasses are 10 yuan/day, and there is a deposit. There are also derivative products such as underwear and T-shirts, which can be used in core moxibustion tablets.

Yang Rengui said that if you want to treat kidney atrophy, you need to buy at least 2 large and 4 small, as well as a necklace of the same core moxibustion tablet, which costs more than 50,000 yuan.

Yang Rengui claimed that there are distribution agents for core moxibustion products all over the country, and they are all his apprentices. At least 40,000 or 50,000 people in the country have purchased and used it, and it is estimated that its sales will at least exceed 10 million yuan. In fact, he said, the sales in Ningbo alone are as high as 30 million yuan.

When an apprentice who attended the lecture was leaving, he purchased a large number of core moxibustion and derivative products. Another agent who claimed to live in Yunnan released 9 core moxibustion products in his WeChat store, with sales exceeding 3 million yuan.

Aiduobei core moxibustion product price list.

It is worth mentioning that just after the reporter's "experience" ended, a middle-aged man who came to visit halfway and tried to eliminate the lipoma of his hand signaled to leave first, and he rented a small core moxibustion tablet, saying that he had not yet felt the change and "needed to go home and spend more time".

Yang Rengui claimed that the other party was an oncologist at a hospital in Shanghai, but the reporter did not find the doctor's photos and information on the hospital's official website.

The reporter also experienced the core moxibustion glasses and core moxibustion headscarf on the spot, and the other party claimed to be effective for the symptoms of myopia and dry eye, but the reporter also did not feel any improvement.

He has no medical qualifications, non-medical devices, and has been fined for false publicity

At the headquarters of Chipgabo Biologics, the most "eye-catching" thing is undoubtedly the wall full of honorary certificates, plaques, employment certificates, etc., as well as the group photos of Yang Rengui and authoritative medical experts and professors in the domestic industry.

Chipabor Biotech business license.

On the wall of the company, there are trademark registration certificates and utility model patent certificates for core moxibustion products.

According to industrial and commercial information, Chipgabo Biotech was established in 2015, the legal representative is Peng Xianfeng, and its business scope includes the development and design of electronic products, software and hardware, its own achievements and transfer, engaged in food, cosmetics, health care products, health care equipment, rubber and plastic products, water purification equipment, household appliances, disinfection supplies, sanitary products, glasses, daily necessities, clothing, electronic chips, medical equipment (Class I only), instrument and instrument wholesale, import and export, commission agency (except auction), etc., without medical qualifications.

Liu Kai, a lawyer at Beijing Zhongwen (Changsha) Law Firm, told The Paper that according to the provisions of the old patent law, utility model and design patent applications are only subject to preliminary examination, not substantive examination, so the utility model and design patent rights can only prove that they have a certain degree of novelty, and "cannot directly prove the effectiveness of the product".

The reporter's investigation found that with the help of core moxibustion tablets, Yang Rengui has been mixed with many medical-related social organizations in China in recent years. In 2021, Yang Rengui also became a member of the Council of the China Scientists Forum, and Aiduobei Core Moxibustion Tablets was also selected as "Outstanding Invention Achievements in Scientific and Technological Innovation" by the forum.

According to a number of employment certificates, he served as a member of the Expert Committee of the Zhongguancun Chinese Enterprise Modern Service Industry Promotion Association, and won the "World Traditional Medicine Science and Technology Innovation Award" selected and issued by the World Federation of Traditional Medicine in 2016, and was awarded the title of "World Traditional Chinese Medicine Person of the Year". However, on the Ministry of Civil Affairs' National Social Organization Credit Information Publicity Platform, the registration information of these two social organizations has not been found.

Ironically, in 2020 and 2021, Chipgabo Biotech was included in the list of abnormal operations by the Shanghai Municipal Administration for Market Regulation for "concealing the true situation and falsifying" the public information.

In July 2020, the company was also fined 100,000 yuan for false advertising in violation of relevant regulations of the Advertising Law, and ordered to stop publishing relevant advertisements.

The on-site situation of the core moxibustion product tour published on the official website of Chipgabo Biologics.

The Songjiang District Market Supervision Bureau verified that since March 2019, Chipgabo Biotech has applied the microcirculation theory and the concept of quantum medicine on its official website and WeChat official account "Aiduobei Quantum Core Moxibustion Tablets" to involve disease treatment functions in the advertisements of its products "Core Moxibustion Tablets", as well as the use of medical terms or terms that are easy to confuse the promoted goods with drugs and medical devices. "Ruai Duobei Core Moxibustion Tablets" has not only obtained relevant patents and certifications in China, but also obtained many medical verifications for its efficacy and principles, recognized and recommended by well-known experts and scholars, and has the personal experience of many consumers to help microcirculation. "If the microcirculation is blocked, all diseases will breed, and if the microcirculation is smooth, all diseases will not be born!" and so on.

After investigation, the product "core moxibustion tablets" does not belong to medical devices - does not meet the definition of medical devices, and is not listed in the "Medical Device Classification Catalog". For the content related to the treatment function of the disease, Chipgabo Biotech is also unable to provide relevant evidence.

At the same time, after verification, Yang Rengui does not have the academic qualifications and positions of "Honorary Doctorate/Visiting Professor of Natural Medicine of Fudan University", "Distinguished Professor of National Health Industry Research Institute of Shanghai Jiao Tong University" and "Distinguished Professor of China Nutrition and Health Care Institute". The honor awarded by the Chinese Medicine Science and Technology Cooperation Center of the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences released by the company is untrue.

However, after being punished, Yang Rengui and Xinjiabo Biotech still carried out lecture tours in Yixing, Hangzhou, Shenyang, Shenzhen, Tianjin and other places across the country under the guise of "quantum medicine and traditional Chinese medicine", and many of them were middle-aged and elderly people who listened to the scene. Mr. Yang said they would also hold a 1,000-person rally in Chengdu in April.

The reporter noticed that according to the product manual, the chief inventor of core moxibustion tablets is Zhang Dengke. In a paper published in the journal "Systems Medicine" in 2019, Yang Rengui, Zhang Dengke and others mentioned that the core moxibustion products are "produced by Taiwan Huixin Biotechnology Co., Ltd." In the "Taiwan Microcirculation Health Promotion Association" founded by Zhang Dengke, Yang Rengui served as the chairman.

In addition to Chipabor Biotech, the company's official website is also associated with Guangzhou Ailitong Biotechnology Co., Ltd. and Tianli Neng Health (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd.

Guangzhou Ailitong Biotechnology Co., Ltd. was established in 2013, and the legal representative is also Peng Xianfeng, and Tianli Neng Health (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd. was established in 2019, and the legal representative is Jiang Yichen. Both are in a state of karma.

The reporter noticed that in 2022, Tianli Neng Health (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd. was also fined a total of 105,000 yuan by the Guangzhou and Pingdingshan Municipal Market Supervision Bureaus for using medical terms to exaggerate the effect and falsely promote "bioresonance" products.

Expert: The cost is only a few cents, so be extra wary of quantum medicine scams

"This is a typical 'pseudoscience' and low-level hoax. ”

Zhang Wenzhuo, a doctor of quantum optics from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a member of the former Micius satellite team, and the founder of Quami Quantum, told The Paper that there are many biological molecules in the human body and will not produce any special response to any specific electromagnetic wavelength. The above scam only borrows some scientific terms, such as the so-called "9.34 micron" band is beneficial to the human body, without any physical basis, and is a bluffing rhetoric by merchants.

The internal structure of Aiduobei core moxibustion products.

According to the internal structure of the core moxibustion film taken by the reporter at the unannounced visit site, Zhang Wenzhuo said that the core of the product is a set of small printed antennas, and there is not even a chip. "The chip has to have all kinds of transistors and can do the computing function, but there is no one in it. ”

He said that because the antenna can receive and transmit signals, when the wireless electromagnetic wave detector is close and receives the electromagnetic wave signal, it will emit a "didi" sound, which is nothing special. In addition, even if this small wearable product is equipped with a power supply inside, the transmission power is relatively low, generally not exceeding the transmission power of the mobile phone signal, and will not cause harm to the human body.

Zhang Wenzhuo bluntly said that on the online shopping platform, such a group of printing antennas generally ranges from a few cents to a few yuan, "the most exquisite workmanship is less than 10 yuan."

He pointed out that as long as there are products peddled under the guise of "quantum medicine" on the market, it must be a scam. At the same time, this kind of quantum medical scam can easily make a comeback in a different package.

"Because quantum technology has not yet been truly applied in the medical field, the only relevant thing now is the development of some technologies for quantum precision measurement of biological weak magnetic fields. Other quantum technologies belong to the field of information technology, such as quantum communication, and have nothing to do with biology and medicine. Zhang Wenzhuo believes that it is particularly important to strengthen the popularization of science and improve the scientific literacy of citizens.

Regarding the other party's remarks that "the microscope found that the body's microcirculation has been congested" during the above-mentioned unannounced visit, Wang Donglin, director of the Department of Internal Medicine of Chongqing Cancer Hospital, clearly told The Paper that looking at capillaries through a microscope cannot directly prove the congestion of human blood vessels, let alone prove that there is a health problem in a certain organ of the body. "Not all blood vessels are straight, and some may be crooked. The difference in color is also related to the location and depth of the blood vessels. ”

Wang Donglin pointed out that different diseases have different etiologies, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations and treatment methods, and only some diseases have circulatory disorders, and most of them are only manifestations, not causes, so it is impossible to cure various diseases by "opening up qi and blood circulation disorders". He reminded consumers not to trust and use products without approval numbers, instructions and indications.

From a legal point of view, the above-mentioned unannounced visits show that the actions of the merchants involved have been suspected of consumer fraud and false advertising.

Lawyer Zhu Yonggang, deputy director of Shanghai Zhengbo Law Firm, told The Paper that according to the Consumer Rights Protection Law, consumers can request the operator to refund the purchase price of the product and compensate three times the price of the product at the same time. At the same time, consumers can complain and report to the market supervision department, health administrative department, etc. on relevant issues. After investigation and verification by the administrative organs, administrative punishments are to be imposed in accordance with the Advertising Law and other legal provisions. where the circumstances are serious and constitute a crime, it shall be transferred to the public security organs for filing and investigation, and criminal responsibility shall be pursued.

Zhu Yonggang specifically pointed out that according to the relevant provisions of the Advertising Law, the market supervision and administration department can also punish medical experts who "stand up" for such false advertising products. If such products cause serious consequences, they should also bear the corresponding liability for compensation, and the relevant medical qualifications and licenses will also be revoked.

However, Zhu Yonggang bluntly said that because such products do not invade the human body, there are often no obvious side effects. Even if death is caused by the delay in treatment due to the use of the product, it is often difficult for consumers to prove that the consequences are caused by the use of the product, and it is "difficult to protect their rights".
