Can 50,000 "blood purification" prevent cancer? Doctor: It may cause injury or even death.

  Needle puncture, blood drawing, ozone injection, etc., and then the blood is returned to the body … … Recently, a medical beauty project named "Blood Purification" became popular on social media because of many "Amway" in online celebrity. In online celebrity’s sharing posts, it is frequently mentioned that "blood purification" can resist aging, promote metabolism, regulate immunity and help the body to detoxify. Some merchants even claim that it can treat tumors. But is this really the case?

  A survey by Beijing Youth Daily reporter found that this project, known as "Beauty Black Technology", has been carried out in medical and beauty institutions and private hospitals in Beijing, Guangdong and Nanjing, with a single charge ranging from 3,000 yuan to 50,000 yuan. According to the description of beauty institutions and private hospitals, "blood purification" is simple, safe and reliable. In this regard, medical experts reminded that the "blood purification" project is not suitable for everyone, not a beauty care project, but an operation. Patients in need should follow the doctor’s advice and receive treatment in regular hospitals. "If you operate in an environment that is not up to standard, there will be risks such as blood infection."

  In addition, the health departments in Beijing, Guangdong and Nanjing all said that they had not approved the relevant qualifications of the beauty institutions and private hospitals involved in this area to carry out such "blood purification" medical beauty projects, and suggested that consumers should report the relevant situation to the health department in time.

  raise concerns

  Medical beauty project "blood purification" became popular.

  Recently, a "blood purification" project has quickly become popular in the medical and beauty circles, and many online celebrity and beauty bloggers have fancy "Amway" on social platforms. Online celebrity mentioned that she experienced the project in Japan by a friend’s recommendation. The steps were simple: pricking a needle, drawing 100 ml of blood, and then injecting ozone. During this time, online celebrity said that he saw his blood "change from dark red to bright red". Finally, the "purified" blood is returned to the body. Online celebrity said that after "blood purification", "I only slept for five hours every day but I was not sleepy at all". The post also showed photos of her "doing projects".

  The reporter of Beiqing Daily noticed that there are not a few "Amway posts" about "blood purification" on social platforms. A beauty blogger told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that he had done the project in Ginza, Tokyo. "I have done it three times, and it is not easy to get tired after I finish it." In addition to Japan, South Korea and Thailand, many netizens "Amway" medical and beauty institutions in Guangzhou, Nanjing and even Beijing.

  Despite being sought after by many beauty lovers, netizens have mixed opinions. Some netizens bluntly said that this is paying an "IQ tax"; There are also medical experts who question that once there are irregularities in the operation process, it is very likely to cause injury or even death.

  Journalist investigation

  Be touted as an "anti-aging artifact"

  An unannounced visit by the reporter of Beiqing Daily found that there are not a few beauty and plastic surgery institutions in China that claim to be able to carry out "blood purification" projects. There are two specific forms: one is the direct operation of the plastic surgery hospital; The other is the beauty salon "matchmaking", which leads the passenger flow to private hospitals, which are charged by the beauty salon, but operated by private hospitals.

  A staff member of a beauty agency named "Qinxin Yimei" located in Fogang County, Qingyuan City, Guangdong Province said that they are doing a "blood purification therapy" introduced from Germany. "Take out your own blood, then mix and purify the high-concentration and high-dose active oxygen with the blood, and then return your own blood to the body." The staff member said, "Many online celebrity and celebrities in China are doing it here, and they can excrete a lot of toxins from the body." Subsequently, the staff sent a number of videos and photos of customers "doing projects".

  Asked about the charge, the staff sent a leaflet page, which read "1000 ml of net blood is worth 79800 yuan at a time". However, she said that it is more recommended for reporters to "do cards", saying that the more recharge, the lower the single charge price. "After the discount, the single charge ranges from 10,000 yuan to 50,000 yuan."

  Coincidentally, when the reporter of Beiqing Daily consulted the anti-aging problem as a consumer, the staff of "Nanjing Mijia DR.CICI Plastic Surgery Hospital" recommended a similar "blood purification" project to the reporter of Beiqing Daily. In the video sent by the other party, a woman in a nurse’s uniform kept shaking with a bottle filled with blood, and a patient waiting for "blood transfusion" was lying next to the woman.

  Seeing the reporter’s interest, the staff further introduced that the agency’s "blood purification" project is divided into two types: large circulation and small circulation. "The price of large circulation is 50,000 yuan, and the price of small circulation is 3,980 yuan. Great circulation is the whole body blood circulation. Blood is drawn from one arm, purified by the machine, and then returned to the body from the other arm. The small circulation is to pump 100ml of blood, then inject ozone into the blood with a machine, and then return the blood to the body. "

  Clients are drained to private hospitals.

  "Great Cycle" and "Small Cycle" have a new expression in a beauty salon named "Kiss of Flowers" in Chaoyang District, Beijing — — "adsorption column" The staff introduced, "‘ Adsorption column ’ Is added in ‘ Blood purification ’ A link in the process will absorb impurities and precipitates in the blood, which will double the efficacy, but the price is relatively high after addition. " Different from the first two cosmetic and plastic surgery hospitals, the staff of "Kiss of Flowers" said that they did not operate the "blood purification" project, and after signing an agreement with customers, they would take customers to a private hospital named "Ciming ‘ao Sub-health Management Hospital" for specific operations.

  Subsequently, the reporter of Beiqing Daily consulted Ciming ‘ao Sub-health Management Hospital in beiyuan road, Chaoyang District as a citizen. A "health consultant" of the hospital introduced that "blood purification" is a medical beauty project with "anti-aging effect" in the hospital, and admitted that it has "channel cooperation relationship" with many beauty salons.

  As for the benefits of "blood purification", the above-mentioned staff sent a paragraph saying that the project can "reduce hyperlipidemia and high cholesterol; Eliminate environmental toxins and metals in the body to prevent the occurrence of cancer; Remove endotoxin from the liver and improve the detoxification function of the liver; Treatment and prevention of complications of diabetes; Repair damaged myocardium and blood vessel wall to prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases; Improve male impotence symptoms and sexual function, improve immunity; Improve cell activity, rejuvenate the vitality of the body, and effectively prevent premature aging; Improve the symptoms of numbness and fear of cold in hands and feet, make qi and blood smooth, and improve the gloss and whiteness of skin. "

  No photo receipt, only "medical examination fee"

  "We are a regular hospital, and physical examination is our main project. If you are not at ease, you can come and have a look in person. " Aware of the reporter’s concerns, the staff of Ciming ‘ao Sub-health Management Hospital took the initiative to make suggestions.

  Yesterday morning, a reporter from Beiqing Daily and his party came to this hospital in beiyuan road, Chaoyang District. According to the salesperson, "blood purification" is carried out in the "sub-health conditioning center" inside the hospital. "Customers are all members of the hospital, and there are customers brought by the channel, so there is no need to publicize them."

  Then, two salespeople took the reporter of Beiqing Daily to a consulting room on the second floor of the physical examination center. A "director" wearing a white coat sat down and began to introduce the benefits of "blood purification" in anti-aging to reporters. Subsequently, the salesperson introduced the price of "blood purification". "Yes ‘ Adsorption column ‘ The big cycle is 50 thousand yuan at a time. The small cycle of pumping out a small amount of blood and injecting ozone is not done alone, but combined with the large cycle. The price is 10 times for a course of treatment, totaling 50,000 yuan. " After the reporter of Beiqing Daily asked "whether it is possible to invoice", the salesperson said, "This is our internal price, and we can’t invoice. Even if it is a receipt, we can only write the medical examination fee."

  During the consultation, in addition to a director, there are two salespeople, a man and a woman, who always follow the reporters of Beiqing Daily, and are not allowed to take photos casually.

  Subsequently, the reporter of Beiqing Daily asked if it was possible to "look at the departments doing the project", and the staff replied, "It’s a sterile room, and everyone is doing it in it ‘ Blood purification ’ It is not convenient to see. " After repeated requests, two salespeople led the reporter of Beiqing Daily to visit the general ward, and said, "The ward for blood purification is similar to the general ward, but the bed will be better than this." The reporter of Beiqing Daily saw that the bed in the general ward of the hospital is similar to a single or double bed in a hotel. The staff added, "When doing the project, the hospital ward bed is used, and an instrument for blood purification will be placed next to it."

  Regarding the treatment risk, the sales staff insisted that it was "absolutely safe" and stressed that they had relevant qualifications approved by the health department. A salesperson said, "This is equivalent to the process of blood collection. This arm is drawn out, and after the circulation of the machine, the left arm enters and exits the right arm, and the (filtered) fresh blood is injected back from the other arm. After you finish, you can see a small tube filled with impurities extracted from your blood. "

  Expert opinion

  If the environment is not up to standard, there will be the risk of infection.

  For the "blood purification" medical beauty project launched by beauty institutions and private hospitals, Dr. Wang, an attending doctor in the rehabilitation department of a 3A hospital in Beijing, told the reporter of Beiqing Daily, "What they said ‘ Blood purification ’ The project should be an auxiliary medical project carried out in regular hospitals, which is mainly suitable for the auxiliary treatment of patients with physical pain, herpes zoster, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, but not for everyone. ‘ Anti-aging ’ The beauty project. Moreover, this is an operation, and even if it is carried out in a sterile operating room of a regular hospital, there will be a certain risk of infection. "

  Zhu Chenggang, deputy director of the Cardiovascular Department of Fuwai Hospital, said that the blood purification project recommended by some beauty salons and medical institutions costs tens of thousands of dollars, and the curative effect is fantastic, claiming that it can beauty beauty, and even has a miraculous effect on treating tumors, which should be regarded as selling fear and over-publicizing. Zhu Chenggang pointed out that if you want to reduce blood fat and treat cardiovascular diseases, you must go through regular hospitals and use professional machines to achieve blood purification. There is no need for ordinary patients to carry out such treatment. Only patients with a family genetic history or a particularly high blood fat content can apply to such treatment methods.

  Official response

  Many health departments said that the project had not been approved.

  The reporter of Beiqing Daily consulted the health departments in Fogang County of Qingyuan City, jianye district of Nanjing City and Chaoyang District of Beijing where the three medical institutions are located.

  On February 21st, the staff of the Medical Administration Department of Fogang County Health Bureau in Qingyuan City, Guangdong Province said that the approved practice scope of the beauty hospital involved was cosmetic surgery, cosmetic dermatology and medical laboratory. "It is ok to do it within the skin, which is similar to hemodialysis ‘ Change blood ’ This kind, they don’t have this permission. " The staff said that they do not know the specific situation of this "treatment" in the beauty hospital involved for the time being, and will conduct an investigation according to the complaints of consumers.

  On February 22nd, the reporter of Beiqing Daily called the Nanjing jianye district Health Bureau, and the staff said that the "blood purification" project described by the plastic surgery hospital involved had not been filed in the unit. "Blood things are no joke, even when many large hospitals are carried out, cases of infection can’t be avoided. We will ask the staff to investigate the specific situation of their project. "

  On February 22, the reporter of Beiqing Daily called the Medical Administration Department of Chaoyang District Health Bureau as a citizen to ask whether the hospital involved had the relevant qualifications for "blood purification". The staff said that Ciming Aoya Hospital is a private hospital with a medical institution practice license. "If the hospital has a medical beauty department, it can carry out medical beauty services." After listening to the description of the "blood purification" project, the staff clearly stated, "I have never heard of this project you mentioned. You ask him to take out the approval and qualification materials and see what we give him for approval. It’s definitely not this. We have not approved this (blood purification) project here. " The staff suggested that patients who are unwell should go to public hospitals for treatment.

  The reporter of Beiqing Daily noticed that as early as 2005, the Ministry of Health had issued "Strengthening ‘ Blood therapy ’ Notice of management ". According to the circular, medical institutions in some parts of China carry out so-called "blood therapy" by collecting patients’ blood, carrying out treatments such as magnetic supplement, adsorption, oxygenation, radio frequency, purification and medicine addition, or directly processing blood in patients’ blood vessels by physical methods. The safety and effectiveness of most of these therapies lack scientific research and evidence-based medical evidence, and may cause harm to human body. In this regard, the Ministry of Health proposed that "blood therapy" which has been proved to be safe and effective in clinical application through basic research and clinical research evaluation at home and abroad can be standardized on the premise of clear indications. For example, "ultraviolet irradiation and oxygenation autotransfusion therapy" can be used for clinical treatment of bacterial, fungal and viral infections, low immune function, poisoning and so on. The controversial "blood therapy" should not be provided to patients as a clinical service item. For "blood therapy" which has neither basic research conclusion nor clinical research,All clinical applications will be stopped.
