A "post-80 s" cancer patient trusted a "magic doctor" who treated cancer under the banner of "Chinese medicine", which delayed the golden treatment period in vain; Under the cover of a new vest, a MLM organization has developed thousands of members throughout the country … … Half a month, the reporter followed the victim’s family for an unannounced visit, uncovering the "myth" of "magic doctor" treating cancer.
Internal anti-cancer course, the price is as high as 18,800 yuan.
At 5 o’clock on the afternoon of May 4th, students in uniform rushed to a company in Qinzhou, Guangxi to sign up for training. More than 160 people came from all over the country and became intermediate class students after paying 18,800 yuan.
Their master is Zhang, the 10th generation descendant of Zhang’s Fast Needle with a history of 300 years, and the legal representative of Guangxi Zhuowei Santong Health Care Co., Ltd..
At about 6 o’clock, the students in the intermediate class were asked to hand over their mobile phones for the custody of the instructors, and then the students entered the company to attend classes. In the room with closed curtains, the class lasts from 6 pm to 12 midnight. In class, Master Zhang told an example of how he and his wife saved lives and cured cancer through clever acupuncture and the company’s health care products.
"The company will soon set up an international department, and we will go abroad and serve the world on behalf of Chinese medicine acupuncture. We also need to cultivate ‘ The second generation of needles ’ Conduct acupuncture training classes for children aged 5 to 15. " On the stage, Zhang described the bright future of the company, and the students under the stage took notes seriously.
During the 6-hour lecture, Zhang repeatedly asked the students whether they had recorded or not, and said that the instructor would search them after class.
This kind of training course was also heard by Zhou Yuan (pseudonym) last year. Zhou Yuan is a junior member of Zhuowei Santong Company. Later, in order to treat her boyfriend and buy health care products at a discount, she recharged 100,000 yuan and became an A-level shopkeeper.
The "imperial doctor" urged not to operate, and the patient’s life was overdrawn.
In July 2018, Zhou Yuan’s 37-year-old boyfriend, Yang Long (a pseudonym), was diagnosed with early colon cancer because he felt dull pain in his stomach. "The doctor advised me to do surgery to remove the lesion immediately, saying that the cure rate of early colon cancer is very high." Yang Long said.
Yang Long and Zhou Yuan panicked at that time and looked for famous doctors everywhere. Zhou Yuan’s friend Wang recommended them to find their own master — — A "magic doctor" with thousands of disciples who can cure cancer, Zhang, the legal representative of Guangxi Zhuowei Santong Company.
Zhou Yuan then contacted Huang, a disciple of the "Imperial Doctor". After Huang understood the condition, he tried to stop them from undergoing surgery. "Never operate. Once you operate, cancer cells will spread everywhere like a hornet’s nest!" Huang told Zhou Yuan that as long as she followed Master’s method, she could "completely cure cancer" without surgery.
After Yang Long and Zhou Yuan found Zhang’s "feel the pulse", Zhang said that a "sister" who had colon cancer before was cured by him. As long as she was maintained according to the given plan and treated with the company’s health care products and acupuncture, she would be saved.
In the following four months, Yang Long and Zhou Yuan spent nearly 100,000 yuan to buy the company’s health care products, and tried dozens of methods of "magic doctor". However, Yang Long’s health did not improve as scheduled, but deteriorated. Zhou Yuan, who felt that something was wrong, wanted to meet Zhang and was repeatedly rejected. On November 12, 2018, Taowei Santong Company held a "big class" in a hotel in Guangzhou. When they heard the news, they rushed to the scene and tried to ask Zhang for "diagnosis and treatment" again.
The interview process was not smooth, and the weak Yang Long fainted on the spot. When Zhang saw it, he stopped giving him needles, but asked them to go to the hospital. "He said he was an imperial doctor, but a living patient fainted in front of him, but he didn’t do anything about it. I realized that he was a liar!" Zhou Yuan said.
Yang Long was subsequently admitted to the hospital. After diagnosis, colon cancer was advanced and cancer cells spread to the brain. The hospital issued a critical notice. After three days of rescue, Yang Longcai recovered his life.
Expensive "cancer treatment" health care products are just ordinary foods.
After nearly 40 times of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, Yang Long had a local lesion removed from his brain. In April this year, he underwent surgery in Huaxi Hospital, but the delayed golden treatment period never came back.
Yang Long’s attending doctor in Huaxi Hospital said that when Yang Long was admitted to the hospital in November last year, his condition was very critical, with not only cancer in the colon, but also brain metastasis. "The patient gave up the opportunity of treatment for more than 4 months, which has obvious adverse effects on his treatment effect."
For Yang Long, along with the golden treatment period, there are nearly 300,000 yuan of savings spent on health care products for treatment and hospitalization.
Seabuckthorn tablets, probiotics, peptide algae powder, peptide clear tablets, Cordyceps militaris tablets … … Zhou Yuan showed the health care products bought at a high price to the reporters who talked for half a month. The unit price of these health care products ranged from 260 yuan to 598 yuan, among which the health care products named Xuelian Cream cost 598 yuan a box and a box of 30 packets.
"Master asked me to eat 6 packs a day, and the light snow lotus cream will cost more than 100 yuan a day. There is also a box of peptide algae powder that costs 480 yuan. It is also necessary to eat 6 packs a day and eat a box in 5 days. " Yang Long said.
The reporter noticed that the purchase of these products did not get a formal invoice, and the products did not have the "blue hat logo" of national health food. From the perspective of product ingredients, they were mainly pumpkin powder, corn starch, natto powder and other ingredients, and the most expensive snow lotus cream was honey, cassia seed, kudzu root and so on.
Professor Che Zhenming, director of the Department of Food Science and Engineering in xihua university, said: "These will definitely not cure the disease."
Multi-department surprise law enforcement, unveiling pyramid schemes
As former insiders, Zhou Yuan and Wang talked about the operation mode of Zhuowei Santong Company — — If an introducer pays 3800 yuan to become a member of the junior class, the introducer will get a rebate from 900 yuan; An introducer pays 18,800 yuan to become a member of the intermediate class, and the introducer can get a rebate of 4,000 yuan. Introducers have also become new members’ brothers and sisters, and there are team bosses above them. The team bosses are several big disciples of "Master". "There are about a dozen teams in the company, and there are six or seven hundred people in a team at most." At the same time, if you recharge 50,000 yuan, you will become a B-level shopkeeper, and if you recharge 100,000 yuan, you will become an A-level shopkeeper. After you become a shopkeeper, you will get a certain discount on products from the company.
Since December 2018, Taowei Santong Company has launched a "new business", which allows students to pay 8,100 yuan and receive a "doctor’s practice certificate" after four to five days of training in the company, and then they can "hold a certificate" to give themselves and people around them needles to see a doctor.
On the afternoon of May 5, the reporter accompanied Zhou Yuan to the Qinbei Market Supervision Bureau of Qinzhou City and the Qinbei District Health and Family Planning Supervision Office to complain. The market supervision, public security and health supervision departments of Qinzhou City then organized personnel to come to the company at about 4: 30 pm and block the scene. It was found at the scene that the company was conducting publicity and training for more than 160 people, and the students practiced acupuncture with each other.
After an overnight trial, the Qinbei District Market Supervision Bureau initially determined that the company took teaching acupuncture, moxibustion and selling related health care products as a cover, paid membership fees, pulled people’s heads, and engaged in pyramid schemes in disguised form.
Li Xu, president of China Folk Anti-MLM Association, believes that the current pyramid selling activities have developed from remote pyramid selling and personal control to network pyramid selling and mental control. The above-mentioned cases are characterized by recruiting members through entity companies, attracting people to join under the guise of selling products and teaching skills, developing members layer by layer by paying entry fees and providing rebates for introductions, and adopting online and offline interactive methods to brainwash members into pyramid schemes.
Experts said that the regulatory authorities should popularize anti-MLM knowledge, strengthen the research and judgment on new changes in MLM activities, investigate and collect evidence in time when receiving reports of suspected pyramid schemes, fix evidence, effectively use legal weapons to intensify the crackdown, and eliminate new pyramid schemes in the bud.
