How to improve the agricultural residue of traditional Chinese Medicine

At a news conference held by the State Administration of traditional Chinese medicine, the coordination agency in charge of traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine for the first time publicly responded to the media's questions about pesticide residues on traditional Chinese medicine, saying that "all traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese herbal pieces, Chinese patent medicine, etc., which have been strictly approved and listed by the State Drug Administration, are in line with the corresponding laws and regulations, and are under effective supervision" The author believes that this is the avoidance of the reality of serious pesticide residue pollution of Chinese herbal medicine, which is not a brilliant Taijiquan played by the competent authorities in the face of many loopholes in laws and standards Not long ago, an environmental protection organization issued a report on the detection of traditional Chinese medicine, pointing out that it was the price flower of Triana Panax notoginseng produced in the gap base certified by the former State Food and drug administration that detected up to 34 different pesticide residues, including the illegal use of high toxic pesticides, phorate and carbofuran In fact, the pesticide residue standard of Chinese herbal medicine only exists in Astragalus price and liquorice price, and only has the maximum residue limit for DDT, BHC and PCNB which have been banned for 30 years Compared with thousands of common Chinese medicinal materials and more than 600 kinds of pesticide active ingredients in use, the pesticide residue standard is almost blank So, do all kinds of traditional Chinese medicine products approved for marketing conform to laws and regulations, which means zero limit of pesticide residues? Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) were once regarded as "national treasure", but "good medicine is hard to find" has become a shackle on the road of modern TCM development The author thinks that avoiding or denying the poisons on the medicine for curing diseases is not helpful to ensure the safety of traditional Chinese medicine, and even less to trust the patients In the long run, how can we talk about rejuvenating traditional Chinese medicine? The quality of traditional Chinese medicine is a big mountain between the current situation and the future development of traditional Chinese medicine If we do not face up to it one day, it will not be enough to talk about the future As a traditional Chinese medicine doctor said, "the process of traditional Chinese medicine from wild to artificial planting fails, a large number of pesticides and fertilizers, and the cultivation period is insufficient Just like "chicken without chicken, fish without fish, vegetable without vegetable" But the problem caused by the lack of medicine taste is "ineffectiveness" Now most clinicians lack the knowledge of medicine, so when the treatment is invalid, it is not easy to distinguish whether it is syndrome differentiation error or the quality of medicine This issue is far more prominent than other issues, and is the top priority " However, when the quality problems of traditional Chinese medicine emerge in endlessly, the competent department still insists on compliance with the attitude of not only irresponsible to the health of consumers, but also serious omission to the healthy and orderly development of traditional Chinese medicine In my opinion, to improve the quality of traditional Chinese medicine, especially pesticide residues, the competent authorities can start from the following three aspects: The first is to improve the pesticide residue standard of Chinese herbal medicines The relevant standards can be used for reference in South Korea, Japan and other countries They can be managed according to the standards for export of herbal medicines Enterprises or governments directly request and provide technical support to pharmaceutical farmers, and directly subsidize farmers with the additional price required by high standards Secondly, starting from authentic medicinal materials, authentic medicinal materials not only refer to the good quality of the origin of the medicinal materials, but also include good climate and environmental conditions, and the frequency of diseases and insect pests themselves is relatively low In addition, there are effective and high-quality planting methods in the local area, and the competent authorities should support the inheritance and development of the traditional skills of authentic medicine producers Finally, we should increase the support for ecological growers, improve the coordination between relevant departments, better manage, educate and guide farmers, and give subsidies and support to ecological growers If we can start with the above simple and effective solutions and make a combination fist, we will not lose the mission of inheriting traditional Chinese medicine and talk about development and revitalization If we continue to evade the serious problems in the market of traditional Chinese medicine under the pretext of complying with the laws and regulations, we will only break this "national treasure".
