     Sulfur smoked with the production of Pieces is in the Chinese herbal medicine market after the opening, some small farmers and some small Chinese medicine Pieces production enterprises, out of the market competition needs and popular and spread up a common method. Its harm should not be simply from the amount of sulfur dioxide residue and the size of its toxicity to measure, but mainly because the sulfur smoked after changing the taste of drugs, reducing the efficacy of drugs, contrary to the traditional Chinese medicine and characteristics, therefore, Should be disabled. The following are the same as the "

      Sulfur smoked is unfounded

      Sulfur smoked Chinese herbal medicine Pieces repeatedly questioned, but it seems "because of the existence and reasonable." So, is this practice spread for a long time? I made a review of this. The following are the same as the "

      First, the access to the calendar version of "National Pharmacopoeia" and "ancient and modern Chinese medicine concocted" (Feng Baolin editor, Shandong Science and Technology Publishing House in 1984), "Chinese medicine processing products ancient and modern evolution" (Zhang Bingxin editor, People's Health Publishing House published in 1990) There were no sulfur smoked records. The following are the same as the "

      (1985 edition), Henan Province (2005 edition), Jilin Province (1986 edition), Zhejiang Province (1985 edition), Henan Province (2005 edition), Jilin Province (1986 edition), Zhejiang province (1985 edition), Henan province (2005 edition), Jilin Province (1986 edition) Heilongjiang Province (1975 edition), Liaoning Province (1986 edition), Qinghai province (1991 edition), Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (2005 edition), Jiangxi Province (2008 edition), "Liaoning medicine" (1957 edition). In addition to the Guangxi (2005 edition) standard, there are three varieties of yam, angelica, trichosanthin, "wash, run through when the sulfur smoked once", Jiangxi (2008 edition) specification, there are a variety of white peony root "with water soaked 2 to 4 hours, sprinkled into the alum powder (per 100kg with alum 0.5kg) or smoked with sulfur," the record, the other seven provinces ( City "of the" norms "did not see the record of sulfur smoked.

      Third, consult the Dalian City herbal medicine company Pieces processing plants, the original state to support the country's 44 key Pieces of one. After consulting the company in charge of the business of the deputy manager, the original Chinese herbal medicine production and sales of the person in charge of Chinese medicine Pieces, they are: the city in addition to planting a variety of yam, in the initial processing with sulfur smoked, the other Chinese herbal medicine In the processing of Pieces were not used sulfur smoked. The following are the same as the "

      Fourth, the author has for many years engaged in traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine management work experience, have not used or in the management of Chinese medicine found in the processing of Pieces with sulfur smoked the situation. The following are the same as the "

      Fifth, according to preliminary understanding, Pieces processing with sulfur fumigation from the Chinese herbal medicine market open, farmers produce Pieces of small workshops and the rise of the country to support the country's 44 key Pieces plant was washed away the occasion. The following are the same as the "

Sulfur fumes form the source

      According to Anguo, Bozhou two drug industry sources: Chinese medicine Pieces processing process with sulfur smoked, began in the late 1980s or early 90s. After the opening of the Chinese herbal medicine market, some of the drug farmers around the market quietly set up a small workshop for the production of Pieces of the family, illegal processing production Pieces, they do not understand the processing technology, not according to the prescribed procedures for production, but to simplify the process, , To win the price to win, won the market; then there are drug dealers to participate, and soon spread to the national 17 Chinese herbal medicine market, and gradually formed the mainstream of Pieces production. The following are the same as the "

      Into the early 21st century, the state support, just recovered and is on the right track of the 44 key Pieces plant, according to the traditional process of standardized production of Pieces, high cost, expensive, product sales do not go out; and the face of market disorder Competition situation, the management did not take emergency measures to protect, resulting in enterprises quickly washed away, the national Chinese medicine Pieces processing positions forced to let out, so that Pieces of professional, standardized production in the past. The following are the same as the "

      A large number of factories, equipment idle, professional and technical personnel lost, has completely lost the national production of the main role of Pieces. (Group) is also paralyzed, lost the supply of traditional Chinese medicine, "the main channel", "storage pool" and the role of macro - control. The following are the same as the "

      As a result of the state to support the 44 key Pieces plant was washed away, responsible for the national Chinese herbal medicine production, supply, management and supply of Chinese medicine Pieces of the provinces, municipal herbal medicine company (Group) also lost the national Chinese medicine industry management and management of the mainstream status, Small workshop processing production of Chinese medicine Pieces make a huge space for activities. Thus, the Chinese herbal medicine market quickly formed a non-professional production of Pieces mainly to the characteristics of drug business and production, supply pattern. To bring great confusion in Chinese medicine management, the quality of Chinese medicine Pieces sharp decline. But also for the Chinese medicine in the process of blind implementation of sulfur smoked to create the conditions. The following are the same as the "

      Sulfur smoked has not been effectively controlled

      Sulfur smoked into the processing of Pieces, film neat, beautiful and beautiful, provincial workers save time, low cost, and not easy to eat, the market is good sales, because no one asked, and soon spread up. Thus, sulfur smoked processing of Pieces marketing the country, throughout the urban and rural areas of traditional Chinese medicine operating system and medical use units. The following are the same as the "

In 2002, in view of the quality of traditional Chinese medicine and the use of sulfur smoked processing of Chinese medicine Pieces and other aspects of the situation intensified, the author and Dalian City, the famous old pharmacy, the second third old Chinese medicine experts academic experience inheritance work instructor Wang Xinyu comrades, Yu Anguo , Bozhou two drug market survey found: Chinese herbal medicine market sales of Chinese medicine Pieces, more than 70% is produced by farmers small workshop, 60% to 70% of the root of medicinal herbs in the process of softening process with sulfur smoked, Pieces quality Deteriorating. Market sales of Pieces also often appear "a lack of expensive to have a fake", "" tall than the film expensive "," raw than speculation expensive "strange phenomenon.

      Doping to fake, fake and selling fake behavior continue to appear, the quality of Chinese medicine Pieces have been out of control. In this regard, we put forward the "on the quality of Chinese medicine Pieces and analysis of the report," submitted to the departmental leadership. The report lists a large number of examples, the "quality of traditional Chinese medicine Pieces, the old Chinese pharmacists practical experience inheritance and rescue problems, Chinese medicine Pieces processing process with sulfur smoked problems, has reached a point where the non-solution," the proposed national leaders On the basis of investigation and research, put forward effective measures to study and solve. But this report was not concerned about the relevant departments and the response, the problem naturally continued. The following are the same as the "

      At present in the traditional Chinese medicine market, with sulfur smoked processed Pieces more and more, and spread to the drug producing areas, even the real estate of Chinese herbal medicine also smoked with sulfur. In March this year, the media exposure, the famous Gansu Minxian production of authentic herbs - Angelica, origin in order to use sulfur color, weight gain, actually angelica "excessive", "overweight" repeatedly with sulfur fumigation, plus With auxin ripening, pesticide residues exceeded, so that the end of authentic authentic herbs become high toxicity, low efficiency, unbearable medicinal "sulfur angelica." Astragalus smoked even the smell of beans are not, after the incident caused by the attention of local authorities, and proceed to investigate and deal with. But the occurrence of the problem is distressing, the impact of the follow-up will also be difficult to eliminate.

      Concerns about the current management mechanism

      First, the State Food and Drug Administration organized the development of Chinese herbal medicines and their tablets sulfur dioxide residue limit standards: yam, Achyranthes, powder and other 11 kinds of traditional use of sulfur fumigation of Chinese herbal medicine and its residue sulfur dioxide residue shall not exceed 400mg / kg , Other Chinese herbal medicines and their slices of sulfur dioxide residues shall not exceed 150mg / kg. Does this mean that according to the new standard, as long as the standard of sulfur dioxide residues meet the requirements, you can let go with sulfur smoked processing Pieces, the traditional processing and production of Pieces of the method, you can be replaced? The following are the same as the "

Second, traditional Chinese medicine production is different from Western medicine production. Western medicine production plant, equipment, production technology, testing methods and many other projects must be fully in line with national requirements of the GMP requirements, the product must be qualified before leaving the factory. Traditional Chinese medicine is not: First, the Chinese herbal medicine is the nature of agricultural production, its production involves thousands of households. Second, the processing of Pieces of pharmaceutical production areas, the implementation of the licensing system; but because of management out of control, and now scattered farmers small workshop illegal production Pieces, also occupies a large proportion, they scattered around the drug market around the country. Both are not self-test, self-control, sulfur dioxide residue by who to detect and issue a test certificate? The following are the same as the "

      Third, the calendar version of "Pharmacopoeia" contained in the Chinese herbal medicine and its Pieces are provided for testing methods, but in addition to the country and throughout the country drug testing departments and manufacturers to check the variety, how many according to "Pharmacopoeia" Production, acquisition, marketing, the use of Chinese herbal medicine and its Pieces has always been a free trade, who is the test report with the acceptance of it? The following are the same as the "

      (Including the national GMP acceptance of some of the Chinese medicine Pieces production enterprises, there are some varieties of sulfur smoked with the habit of processing Pieces), has been implemented for more than 20 years; now the country Although the monitoring of sulfur dioxide residue to do the provisions, but the management can be implemented? The following are the same as the "

      Sulfur pollution hazards

      Sulfur smoked with the production of Chinese medicine Pieces, an increase of drug toxicity, changes in drug performance, contrary to the traditional Chinese medicine theory and the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine. The following are the same as the "

      First of all, sulfur itself is toxic, sulfur residues, pollution of the drug, increasing the toxicity of drugs. The following are the same as the "

      Second, the chemical nature of sulfur is lively, easy to react with certain ingredients in Chinese medicine, change the taste of traditional Chinese medicine (such as wolfberry with sulfur smoked after the taste of acid), affecting the quality and efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine, involving the safety of the drug and Efficacy. The following are the same as the "

      Chinese medicine pay attention to the color of the smell, is the basis of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. In addition to the medication based on the inherent smell of the drug itself, but also through the processing of processing to change the smell of drugs to achieve synergies, attenuated, change the trend of action, expand the scope of treatment, play a multi-effect function, make it suitable for clinical practice The need for dialectical medication. Therefore, the smell of Chinese medicine and the efficacy of Chinese medicine is closely linked. The following are the same as the "

      Once again, the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine senior researcher, the famous Chinese medicine processing experts Wang Xiaotao has repeatedly stressed: "Chinese medicine emphasizes authentic herbs, stressed that according to the law concocted, this is not stereotypes, but our ancestors thousands of years of experience set, can not put this traditional experience Lost, and improve the quality of Pieces, to seize the two key.

      In the past, it is the experience and skill of the old pharmacy. The key lies in the fact that "the requisitions are true, the pharmacy" and the "head" and "the heat" are grasped, and the old pharmacy is almost extinct. Plus the market sales of Pieces of counterfeiting, selling fake, doping fake, dyeing beauty, with sulfur smoked, etc., has lost the smell of traditional Chinese medicine, Pieces quality has dropped to the lowest point in history. In this regard, the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the original deputy director of the country had written that: "Pieces disrepair, people without medicine, the concerns of the Pieces, has become a heart of the Chinese medicine sector.

      A few suggestions

      I believe that the traditional processing and production of Pieces of the method is not sulfur smoked. Sulfur smoked with the production of Pieces is in the Chinese herbal medicine market after the opening, some small farmers and some small Chinese medicine Pieces production enterprises, out of the market competition needs and popular and spread up a common method. Its harm should not be simply from the amount of sulfur dioxide residue and the size of its toxicity to measure, but mainly because of sulfur smoked after changing the taste of drugs, reducing the efficacy of drugs, contrary to the traditional Chinese medicine and characteristics, so , Should be disabled. Accordingly, the following immature reference is made:

      First, the proposed state expressly provides: in the processing of Pieces, should be prohibited with sulfur smoked. The following are the same as the "

      Second, the Chinese herbal medicine yield of several varieties (such as yam, white peony, etc.), in the initial processing, there are difficulties, can be limited to the amount of sulfur smoked, other varieties in the initial processing should also be banned sulfur smoked Mainly through technological innovation, technological innovation approach to solve). The following are the same as the "

       Third, the GMP certification by the state and according to the relevant provisions of the GMP has been standardized production of Pieces of enterprises, the proposed state to continue to take support and protection policies, the quality of their products to enhance the price and sales problems should be given reasonable arrangements with the relevant departments. So that it is beneficial and have a certain ability to expand the reproduction. Encourage enterprises to produce high-quality Pieces, the implementation of high prices for better prices. With the doctor of the doctor and the old Chinese medicine unit together to ensure that the master of medicine and the old Chinese medicine on the use of high quality Pieces. The following are the same as the "

      Fourth, the small workshops for farmers to continue processing Pieces, made a few specific requirements: must be in accordance with national or local standards and production methods for production; processing of Chinese herbal medicine, must be genuine, genuine; limited production varieties, small workshops The main producers to learn and master the production of each species origin, production, the original characteristics of herbs, characteristics and identification methods and production methods of operation, precautions, in strict accordance with the production process for production; in the production process, Sulfur, smoked, to maintain the original taste of herbs; small workshop of the main producers, should adhere to the post, pay attention to observe and explore the production aspects of the problems and take measures to constantly sum up experience. The following are the same as the "

      Five is to support and encourage higher Chinese medicine institutions, Chinese medicine department, combined with traditional Chinese medicine teaching, student production practice, try Chinese medicine Pieces processing plant, training Chinese medicine practical talents.
