"Look, I still need to work to support myself, so I can't stay in China for a long time. It would be much more convenient if I could bring more medicine back and come to you for a review later." Ron explained.

Shen Long shrugged, "I can sell the medicine to you, but I can't guarantee that you can pass customs inspection smoothly. Once it is confiscated, the consequences may be serious."

U.S. Customs regulations state that not all foreign-produced drugs have been verified and approved by the FDA and therefore cannot be brought into the United States. Until now, traditional Chinese medicine has not been recognized by the FDA. In the United States, traditional Chinese medicine has always been regarded as health food or nutritional supplements; and Many medicinal materials contain ingredients prohibited from entry by the FDA. If discovered at customs, they will basically be confiscated.

Ron is better off as an American. He can still enter the country after confiscation. However, if a Chinese person brings Chinese medicine and is found to have prohibited ingredients, he will be deported immediately and will not be allowed to enter the country for a certain period of time.

"Isn't there a prescription?" Ron had never brought medicine back from abroad before and didn't know much about it.

Shen Long shook his head, "The US Food and Drug Administration does not recognize these prescriptions. If you don't have other channels, there is no way to bring these medicines back to the United States."

"Damn it!" Ron was furious again. Wouldn't he have to stay in China for a long time? This is not possible. The visa he applied for this time was not a work visa.

"Haven't you ever thought about passing FDA review? There are also a large number of patients in the United States and Europe who need this drug. If your drug is really effective, it can save patients all over the world." Ron regained his composure. I asked after coming down.

"It is very difficult for Chinese patent medicines to pass FDA review. It is basically unrealistic at present." Shen Long shook his head and said that the internationalization of traditional Chinese medicine has been very difficult until 2012, when Di'ao Xinxuekang capsules of Di'ao Pharmaceutical were certified in the Netherlands. , it became China’s first botanical drug approved in the European market.

Before Shen Long entered this world, a total of eight drugs had obtained overseas marketing qualifications, and more than 10 varieties had submitted IND (clinical trial) applications to the US FDA. Some varieties have entered Phase III clinical research, but one passed None. Among them, Tasly Compound Salvia Dropping Pills took 20 years without success.

"Currently, my pharmaceutical factory is developing modern chemical drugs, but it will take time to successfully develop it, and it is hard to say whether it can pass FDA review. You know, I have violated the interests of Novavax, and they will definitely stop it with all their strength. I passed the FDA review," Shen Long said.

Ron was silent. He also surfed the Internet and knew about the recent pharmaceutical company scandals that broke out on the Internet. He knew very well what those pharmaceutical giants could do to protect their own interests. A foreign pharmaceutical company, especially a pharmaceutical company from China. , it is simply too difficult to pass FDA review with the obstruction of Novavax.

"Okay, thank you very much. Dear Dr. Cheng, I will take this medicine for a while after I go back. If it gets better before I leave China, I will try to see if I can ship this medicine back to the United States. !" Ron stood up and left.

After some time, just when Ron was about to return to the United States, he had a re-examination and found that his condition had indeed improved, so he came up with the idea of ​​buying medicines and returning home.

He plans to use the help of his relatives, who are diplomats and have the qualifications to send diplomatic bags, which are used to communicate with their own governments, embassies abroad, consulates and delegations sent to international organizations and international conferences.

Packages (bags, envelopes, boxes) with identifiable marks on the outside, used to carry diplomatic documents or official supplies; mainly transport top-secret documents, a large number of relatively confidential documents, and official supplies not suitable for mailing; mail bags

It can be delivered by a diplomatic courier or entrusted to the captain of a commercial aircraft holding an official document stating the number of items in the mail bag for delivery. A third party is not allowed to open or detain the bag.

Customs has no right to inspect such bags, so many diplomats use this method to benefit themselves. For example, diplomats from Ecuador and Russia have used diplomatic bags to transport drugs.

American diplomats occasionally use this channel to transport items that are not suitable for customs to know. Ron knew this very well, so he found his relatives and told them about it.

His relatives loved him very much. Since it was a life-saving medicine for him and it was not an overly sensitive item, they agreed and used their own channels to send the medicine Ron bought back to the United States in a diplomatic bag.

It was then sent back to Ron's hands by his friends in the United States.

After returning to the United States, Ron met his fellow patients. The fellow patients were very surprised to see his improvement, so they pestered him to ask what medicine Ron had used.

"I went to China. You know, my uncle George was a diplomat in China. He told me that recently there was a magical doctor in China who invented a very effective new drug using traditional Chinese medicine. Many patients were there with him.

I was given a new lease of life, so I went to China, met this doctor, and received proper treatment." Ron introduced.

"Then the medicine and the medical fees must be very expensive, right?" The patient was a little tempted, but considering that his financial situation was not as good as Ron's, he started to shrink back.

"No, no, no, including the medical fees and medication, the monthly expenses are less than a hundred dollars, which is much cheaper than the damn meglutinin! If I take melanin for a month, it will be enough for several years! Moreover,

The condition continues to improve! I even feel that I have hope of recovery." When talking about the cost, Ron began to grit his teeth again.

"Oh, selling cakes, is this true? Ron, today is not April Fool's Day, and this kind of thing is not suitable for joking at all!" No one believed him.

"I can swear on the name of my grandmother!" Ron solemnly swore, "Actually, you don't need to go to China to see a doctor in person, as long as you can buy medicine! I just brought some more this time, you can try

Stop that damn Glenin and eat for a while!”

Ron and these patients have been looking for various treatment solutions together for a long time, and have already formed a deep friendship. Since there is such a good thing, he will definitely not enjoy it alone.

"However, I need to remind you that this medicine has not passed FDA review. I transported it back to the United States through special channels. You must not be discovered, otherwise not only will you not be able to take the medicine, but you may also go to jail." Luo

En warned.
