Some "experts" who claim to be masters of nutrition will also publish articles and videos to mislead the elderly who are eager for health. The most famous is a "nutrition expert" named Lin Haifeng. "The core of eliminating toxins is not to eat any solid food." "Drink fruit and vegetable juice for 7-8 days in a row, and your illness will stay away from you in this life."
These similar remarks are all from the mouth of this "nutrition expert".
But it is precisely because I am convinced of my medical skills that I finally missed the best opportunity for treatment. 5 1 year-old died of food poisoning in Yunnan. His death proved that his "fasting and detoxification" method was fallacious!
Lin Haifeng, 1968, from Yong 'an, Fujian. Because I learned some knowledge about biology and cytology when I was young, I later did some medical related work. It was this experience that gave him the opportunity to create a world of lies.
Lin Haifeng's eloquence also made him a famous inspirational master in Southeast Asia, that is, some successful masters we see today.
Every inspirational speech by Lin Haifeng was packed. Whenever the speech reached its climax, the audience under the stage almost burst into tears, hoping to have a deeper conversation with him after the speech.
After carefully investigating and observing the market situation in health care industry, he sniffed out the huge business opportunities and created a set of marketing methods of his own.
Therefore, Lin Haifeng began to integrate into the direct selling industry and joined Amway Group.
As a leading enterprise in the world direct selling industry, Amway has a complete range of direct selling products among all direct selling companies. Therefore, since 1995 went public, the company's most brilliant performance has reached 30 billion RMB!
After 2000, while running Amway, Lin Haifeng found TV stations and other media, began to publicize his "holistic natural therapy", and began to constantly incite more groups to use their own "fasting and detoxification" methods, so he also had a large number of followers.
Since 2005, Lin Haifeng has officially made her debut as a dietitian and appeared in the public eye.
In order to consolidate the position of nutritionist, Lin Haifeng published his first book "Healthy Living" shortly after his debut.
In this book, Lin Haifeng carefully wrote his own method of "fasting and detoxification". At that time, when the Internet was just emerging, many people did not have the ability to clearly distinguish false information from netizens.
Seeing that many patients in the book saved their lives through the method of "detoxification and fasting", many elderly people who pursue health fell into it and bought books one after another, and the sales of "Healthy Life" soared.
Looking at the rising sales, Lin Haifeng published several books about health and nutrition, and he also founded many health institutions. In his public information, there are many mixed titles, such as health professional member of China Health Food Association and nutrition expert of China Longevity Expert Group.
Over the years, Lin Haifeng has become a "diamond" with considerable sales in the direct selling industry. In order to better operate, he also set up a special team, and his team's annual turnover can be guaranteed at around 10 million yuan.
Because he studied microbiology and cytology when he was young, he told the public that he had studied with American nutritionist Dr. Xie Liqi for some time.
Because Lin Haifeng has a large number of loyal followers, although he later created many ways of keeping in good health to cheat money, some people still pay for his "specialty".
"Over the years, I have been seriously studying Chinese medicine, Indian yoga and meditation, and I have gained something. These studies led me to create a set of' holistic natural therapy' and China Nutrition and Health Network. "
In an interview, Lin Haifeng told the media that he was able to publish so many articles about nutrition and health because he read widely.
He said that he had read almost all the books on health and nutrition in Asia, Germany, Britain and many other European and American countries.
With the passage of time, the development of the Internet began to penetrate into every corner of society, which not only provided Lin Haifeng with a shortcut to get rich, but also made the public begin to doubt this "nutritionist".
Many professional media said that Xie Liqi, a nutritionist in Lin Haifeng's mouth, seems to be just a fictional figure, and it is difficult to find the information of this famous teacher in reality.
Only in Life Times has there been such a double doctor with excellent diploma, but he often appears in a health care company, and Lin Haifeng happens to be in this company.
With the cooperation of the two, the method of "fasting and detoxification" that Lin Haifeng has been promoting has become popular again, and many listeners who have heard Lin Haifeng's speech have begun to try this method.
Lin Haifeng also made a fortune by giving lectures with extremely expensive tickets, but gradually his followers discovered his scam.
Mr. Li, who lives in Changde City, Hunan Province, told the media that his wife, Ms. Li, is a loyal follower of Lin Haifeng's "holistic natural therapy".
My wife saw a propaganda speech about Lin Haifeng on TV, and she became interested in healthy nutrition. In a few days, she went to the scene to listen to Lin Haifeng's speech.
One day, Mr. Li came home from work and found that his wife, who should have been cooking in the kitchen, had disappeared. His wife left a note on the refrigerator saying that she would go home after attending a lecture on nutrition and health.
When his wife came home, he asked her about the lecture. His wife solemnly took out a thick notebook from her bag, indicating that it was very important and worth tens of thousands.
Teacher Li heard tens of thousands and jokingly said, "What free lecture can tell you tens of thousands of things?"
His wife, Ms. Li, looked embarrassed and replied to her husband, "Actually, this lecture is not free ... it has admission tickets, and I spent 30 thousand to 40 thousand in it."
"What?" The shocked Mr. Li asked strangely. He told the media that it would cost 30,000 to 40,000 yuan to hear several lectures. He was really incredible and angry.
After returning home, my wife seems to be a different person. Whenever he wants to eat, his wife always stops him, saying that it is drugs and will hurt his health.
For their health, his wife cooks liquid food for almost three meals a day, because his wife says that "solid food hurts the body", which makes him eat one more meal every day, and it also makes him feel very painful not to eat normally.
A wife who believes in the method of "fasting and detoxification" will not add meals even if she is hungry, so her face becomes worse and worse in a few weeks.
Looking at his wife's thin figure and sallow face, Mr. Li once advised her not to spend tens of thousands of dollars to make herself suffer so much, but she didn't listen to his advice.
Helpless, Mr. Li found Lin Haifeng's account on his blog, and told Lin Haifeng about his wife's changes after her "fasting and detoxification" therapy, hoping that Lin Haifeng could come forward to help.
A few days later, Lin Haifeng replied to Mr. Li, but Lin Haifeng said that he still had to pay for her diagnosis, and his blog had a special remittance channel.
It turned out that his wife became like this only after listening to tens of thousands of lectures in Lin Haifeng. This man actually asked him to give him money, which immediately made Mr. Li furious.
So he began to expose his scam on Lin Haifeng's blog, but what he didn't expect was that Lin Haifeng had a professional public relations team.
There are countless examples like Mr. Li in Hunan, but as long as there is an article exposing Lin Haifeng's scam, it will soon sink into the sea.
Some professional media began to expose Lin Haifeng's health scams one after another, but these didn't seem to have any influence on Lin Haifeng.
He still publicizes his theory to the public as usual. In Lin Haifeng's view, "rice is the poison of modern China people's diet", he advocated that people eat less solid food and drink more liquid food such as celery and vegetable juice, and stick to it for a period of time.
This method is the traditional way to break through the valley. Someone abroad tried to break through the valley, but gave up the experiment on the fourth day because of physical discomfort.
Lin Haifeng believes that "all the organs with holes in the human body are the outlets for detoxification". He claims that toxins that cannot be excreted will transfer to the lungs and become nasal mucus and thick phlegm, so people don't need to see a doctor.
However, Lin Haifeng's increasingly absurd remarks began to be opposed by many experts. Professor of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine said that human excretion is a normal metabolic process, and these excretions are only impurities that the human body cannot absorb, not toxins.
He also criticized Lin Haifeng for putting the cart before the horse, saying that the real toxins are those that accumulate in the human body and cannot be excreted.
Scholars from China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine also said that if people don't eat whole grains, it will damage their health, and the theory of not eating whole grains simply doesn't hold water.
By observing Lin Haifeng's propaganda on the Internet, we can also see that Lin Haifeng could not be sought after by so many people without his eloquence.
His excellent speech skills inspired many people to sign up for his courses, which cost as much as 10 thousand a week.
In addition to simple induction training, he also designed tourism training courses such as "Jiuzhaigou Healthy Life Training". Because it is linked to tourism, the price of these training courses is as high as ten thousand yuan. Although it is expensive, some people are willing to participate.
Some time before Lin Haifeng's death, she also sent a message that she had eaten a bag of expired red dates by mistake. When he feels dizzy and weak, he quickly vomits for himself. Fortunately, these toxins were spit out by him and his body returned to normal.
A few days later, Lin Haifeng didn't have any abnormal health condition, so he embarked on a journey to Yunnan to open up his own health market.
On the way to Yunnan, a colleague friend asked him if he wanted to go to the hospital and told him that the flavomycin produced after the expiration of red dates would be fatal.
Lin Haifeng just smiled and said that he had discharged all the toxins, which was not a big problem, and thanked his friends.
But just a few days later, when Lin Haifeng and his friends went to the Lijiang River for dinner, Lin Haifeng suddenly fainted.
The impact between the body and the ground made a dull sound, and the friend who was eating put down the chopsticks and quickly squatted down to check the situation in Lin Haifeng.
They patted Lin Haifeng on the shoulder and found that Lin Haifeng didn't respond. They immediately sent Lin Haifeng to the hospital, but when they arrived at the hospital, Lin Haifeng had no signs of life.
Lin Haifeng's death was identified as food poisoning. Although he spit out most of the expired red dates that were not absorbed by his body, some of them have been absorbed by his body.
Because Lin Haifeng thought that any toxin could be excreted, he refused to go to the hospital for treatment at the first time, thus missing the best opportunity for treatment.
This "master of natural therapy" finally reaped the consequences, and his life came to an end. He proved to us with his life that fasting and detoxification are fallacies.
People's Daily once summarized the three arguments of "holistic natural therapy" advocated by Lin Haifeng for more than ten years, and revealed to the public that it did not conform to modern medicine and common sense.
Wang Yongjun, vice president of Tiantan Hospital, said: "Now all the so-called health experts have one thing in common. They all like to promote their health concept through anti-hospital and anti-Western medicine, and promote the hospital as an institution just to make money, so as to narrow the distance with the people. "
Lin Haifeng's success also depends on his false names, such as "Chairman of China Nutrition and Health Network" and "Chairman of Sunshine Forest Biotechnology Co., Ltd.", which successfully convinced some people of his status as a nutrition expert. Whenever someone mentions health care, they will ask Lin Haifeng for help online.
Although "treatment" in Lin Haifeng is not cheap, many elderly people still pay for it. Health is more important to them than money.
However, he paid the price for his past remarks with his own life. The continuous expansion of the health care market is precisely because after the reform and opening up, people gradually began to pursue a healthy lifestyle.
The development of the Internet has also made doctors and experts rich under the banner of health care. Therefore, many people in society can always say some methods without scientific basis when talking about health preservation, but people still enjoy learning those methods.
The emergence of more and more Lin Haifeng makes more people begin to tout the benefits of fasting, but in fact, fasting for the sake of health is not as magical as those "experts" advertised.
We must learn to look at medical care dialectically. Under the guidance of science, follow the officially recommended methods to keep healthy. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is actually a health care method.
If you just soak Lycium barbarum in a thermos, but stay up all night and overeat every day, it is not health preservation. If you want to get a healthy body, don't rush for success, try some crooked ways, which will only make your body worse and worse, not get healthy.
On the way of pursuing good health and seeking health preservation methods, we should also stay awake and distinguish the authenticity of the words of those health preservation experts.
Lin Haifeng once insisted that "you can't go to the hospital for an injection if you have a fever". He put the cart before the horse in medical knowledge, and can justify himself. The temperature between 39 and 40 degrees is the most difficult for viruses and bacteria to reproduce, and those bacteria can be eliminated when you have a fever.
But in fact, the higher the temperature of fever, the more irreversible the damage to the brain, but this fallacy has made Lin Haifeng's career particularly successful, even by leaps and bounds.
In 20 10, Lin Haifeng published an article in which Lin Haifeng recalled the 15 years when he joined Amway. "/kloc-I experienced a lot of storms in Amway in 0/5 years, which turned me into a penniless teenager with men everywhere.
It is precisely because of the training of Amway that I have laid the foundation for my career for more than ten years. "
"It is also because of Amway that I opened the door to nutrition and gradually entered the exploration of clinical nutrition, natural therapy, environmental medicine and Chinese medicine! Thanks to Amway! "
Health care should also pay attention to science. Without the support of scientific theory, everyone can become a health expert.
"Fasting and detoxifying" is not the only way to detoxify healthily. In the field of traditional Chinese medicine, there is another way that is more worthy of recommendation to the public, that is, medicated diet detoxification.
The human body has a complete detoxification system, in which viscera, detoxification meridians and qi and blood are the main functions. When our bodies can't excrete toxins, our bodies can actually give warnings automatically, such as loss of appetite and dull skin.
Therefore, if you want to detoxify correctly, you need the normal circulation of qi and blood, and you need the function of viscera and the balance and coordination of yin, yang, qi and blood.
Detoxification and health preservation need to choose appropriate methods according to their physical conditions. Blindly fasting and drinking only vegetable juice may only be counterproductive.
Health is a very complicated system. To get it, you need not only scientific methods, but also a pair of eyes that are good at distinguishing between true and false!
I hope everyone can keep their eyes open and treat the issue of health care correctly!
