Select medical science books be prudent and careful

Good day, we are more and more importance to health care.

But looking at, now collectively referred to as the "class" of medical and health science books, dazzling, but was uneven cohabitation,.

Over the past few years, some people write books offering Hu million forest as "contemporary Taiwan huatuo", "Dr. Lin light often" the non-toxic with a lightness of being, into the health law court physicians about Liu, then to the latest bestsellers, the eat out eat back ", disease.

"Dr.," and "the myth of" Liu Court physicians have long gone, they are also a few bits to justice, we talk to the today dedicated to eat out of disease eat back and related topics.

The eat out disease eat back although sold 400 million, author Zhang Tao based outpatient registration is up to $ 2 000, known as the capital of the "most expensive", but a closer look at the book but is much entirely wrong, many places are misleading and even the shield of the people.

The book describes who and General newspapers often promotional content such as eat fried food, fried things repeated use of oil for a long time there will be a carcinogen, and so on, these readers are easy to accept.

Because he had the right and wrong, are easier to make the readers believe that his "sihuo" is right. Zhang Tao this content to the right also made some tampered with, such as "health" "the four cornerstones to stop smoking-limited liquor" was changed to "adequate rest", because he likes to smoke, smoking also argued that "every night after eating white radish is offset by toxicity", so he did not refer to smoking harm that lung cancer is the result of eating peppers instead of smoking.

The book, some content is obviously wrong.

As Zhang Tao thought "hypertensive complications (myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction) is the long-term eating antihypertensive drugs cause side effects," said "abdominal surgery would harm human health and therefore cannot be colorectal surgery," said "diabetes complications because eating hypoglycemic drug poisoning caused". On these things, and generally slightly medical knowledge of people saw it, you can see that this is absurd. So, how to treat high blood pressure, diabetes? eat his Zhang Tao to the origin of "diseases of the continuing" made up ", drink green bean soup, eaten long white radish, eggplant, peppers. In fact, if you should take some medicine for high blood pressure or diabetes patients free withdrawal, Tad is certainly on the patients health.

Other problems of the so-called health book.

There is a "not sick wisdom teaches life eat Loach, Sichuan provincial Center for disease control and prevention reports that" eaten Dojo regimen "cause local 100 individuals, parasitic diseases; there are books teach people look at Palm diagnosis" three high "(hyperglycemia, hypertension and hyperlipidemia); many books introduction of hearsay health remedies, such as raw fish bile, causing people to multiple organ failure. And so on.

Some readers may say that I used the book describes these methods really felt better! this reminds me of the 60 years ago listening to a story.

Someone claims that "inventions," the boys girls, pregnant women drank the potion sex potion is a boy, "If you do not come with the medicine bottle full refund". The results of this person made a fortune, in fact, the "drops" is the tap water. Just imagine, a pregnant woman is not a boy is born girl, half right. In other words, the cheat is charged half the money, there are half of the money you make. The reason is simple.

Select a good health care science books, but also to defend their own health.

On how to select the "health" and "health" of the book, Professor mentioned hongzhaoguang three criteria: first look at the people writing books is not relevant in the long term research, clinical and teaching work; the second is to look at the author in this profession, there are no name recognition and academic status; the third is the book's contents have no scientific basis, there is no clinical and scientific research findings, views should be evidence-based. In short, we see the media describes medical care knowledge or select popular science books to ask a few why, what proof under what?? how many examples is not "diseases of the continuing" (Hu million forest of Glauber's salt, forest light often sweet, MA Yue ling of Loach and Zhang Tao of mungbean) ... Must not be under the "glib", books sell well and blindly believe it! may wish to hear more regular hospital experienced physicians.
