Similar products are also selling well online, and it seems to have formed a brand - phiten (Chinese name "Fateng"), which is claimed to be imported from Japan. Its products also include necklaces, wrist rings, finger rings, clothing, etc. The products are said to contain titanium molecules with special current characteristics. When worn, they can pass through the "acupoints" in major parts of the human body to promote metabolism and blood circulation. Loop is most suitable for white-collar workers who sit in front of the computer for a long time.
Can cervical spondylosis be cured by wearing a necklace? This "subverted" the medical community's view of cervical spondylosis. As we all know, cervical spondylosis is now mainly treated with drugs, physical therapy, surgery and other comprehensive treatments. If you wear a necklace, you can treat cervical spondylosis, which is undoubtedly good news for the majority of patients with cervical spondylosis. But is this really the case?
What kind of thing is titanium?
To find out whether the "titanium necklace" is really effective, we must first understand what titanium is. What kind of things have
Titanium is an important structural metal developed in the 1950s. Titanium alloys have the characteristics of high strength, good corrosion resistance, and high heat resistance. And is widely used in various fields.
Due to its non-toxic, light weight, high strength and excellent biocompatibility, titanium is also widely used in the medical field. , such as used in the manufacture of medical devices, including artificial joints, skulls, heart valves, bone fixators, etc. In the human body, they are resistant to corrosion by secretions, non-toxic, and adaptable to any sterilization method.
The biggest feature of titanium is that it is stable and does not react with human tissue, so it can be implanted into the human body. But precisely because of this feature, its medical application is limited to replacing human tissue, and it is impossible to bring any physical or chemical effects to the human body from outside the body, or emit any electric current to treat diseases.
Tear apart the disguise of "Titanium Necklacelt;/Bgt;"
To learn more about "Titanium Necklacelt;/Bgt;", the author entered the "Faten" website After checking, it was found that the "Invention Patent Number" was printed on the front page and inside pages of the leaflet of the "Fateng" necklace, and the promoters also claimed that their products had obtained national intellectual property rights. approved by the bureau and obtained a patent number.
The author immediately logged into the official website of the State Intellectual Property Office, but only found the name of the product in the "Application" item, but not in the "Announcement" and "Invention Patent" items. any results. Relevant people from the State Intellectual Property Office said that this shows that the product is currently only in the patent application stage and has not entered the announcement process, let alone obtained an invention patent number.
Orthopedic experts believe, "As a clinician, I am skeptical about the idea that wearing a metal collar can cure cervical spondylosis. So far, I have never heard of it, and there is no such thing; /Bgt; Any medical literature supports this treatment method. Cervical spondylosis is caused by damage and degeneration of the cervical bone joints, intervertebral discs and surrounding soft tissues, resulting in irritation or damage to the cervical nerve roots, vertebral arteries, etc. Titanium alloy. lt;/Bgt;Wearing it around the neck will not have any impact on the human body, let alone treat cervical spondylosis. "
In December 2001, the State Food and Drug Administration (State Drug Administration) The State Food and Drug Administration has issued the "Notice on the Approval of Products Used in Daily Life Not as Medical Devices."
The notice stipulates that all items and decorations used in people's daily life, such as clothes, hats, shoes, socks, bracelets, earrings and other products, no matter what materials they are made of, shall not be used as Medical device acceptance and approval. Companies are also not allowed to promote the therapeutic or diagnostic functions of their products. Merchants promote the efficacy of "titanium necklace" in treating cervical spondylosis, which is obviously a violation of this regulation.
Orthopedic experts pointed out that the treatment of cervical spondylosis is mainly through traction, massage, physical therapy, drugs, surgery, etc. Products such as "titanium necklacelt;/Bgt;" cannot cure cervical spondylosis. Prevention of cervical spondylosis is important. Bad posture should be corrected to reduce strain. Every hour when you lower your head or raise your head, you need to do neck activities to reduce muscle tension.
At this point, we can know that the claim that titanium necklaces can treat cervical spondylosis is another lie. But it is regrettable that many patients have been deceived by this unwise lie, which shows that the scientific literacy of the people still needs to be improved, and there is a long way to go to popularize medical science. Here, we once again remind readers that people suffering from lt;/Bgt; diseases should go to the hospital for formal treatment. Be careful not to believe in so-called unproven novel treatments, to avoid wasting money and time, delaying your condition, or causing old illnesses to become new ones.
