Ni Haiqing is still serving his sentence in prison.
We hate the mention of fake medicines, but the face of Ni Haiqing and his "fake medicines" have subverted our understanding of fake medicines.
Ni Haiqing accidentally obtained an ancestral secret recipe for more than ten years. Based on this, he developed a secret Chinese herbal recipe for treating advanced cancer and cured hundreds of cancer patients. He also established the Haiqing Folk Herbal Medicine Research Institute and obtained the national invention patent for Chinese herbal medicine tablets for oral administration on tumors.
However, the Chinese herbal medicine tablets he developed did not have a production license and an approval number from the drug administration department. In a legal sense, they were indeed fake medicines.
Ni Haiqing recently received the first-instance verdict from the Wucheng District Court of Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province: Ni Haiqing was sentenced to 10 years in prison for producing and selling counterfeit drugs. At this time, he himself was already a terminal cancer patient.
Ni Haiqing was interviewed:
Not only could he not accept it, but the cancer patients he had treated also gave written testimonies to prove the efficacy. The confusion between law and efficacy is puzzling. More importantly, if the efficacy of Ni Haiqing herbal medicine on cancer can be proven scientifically, it will give cancer patients more hope. I hope you won’t ruin a good prescription or wrong a good doctor.
