The first death of the mother of a dieting man
In the early morning of June 21, Li Mouran, a 26-year-old man treated at the Riyuexia Senior Forest Rehabilitation Center in Tieli City, Heilongjiang, died 54 days after dieting.
"Children often talk to themselves after graduating from college. After being introduced to the health center for treatment, there is a Qigong master who says the child will get better if he does not eat for 70 days." Li's father said.
The Beijing News reporter found that "Qigong Master" Liu Shanglin is the chairman of Heilongjiang Riyuexia Forest Tourism Group Co., Ltd., and the health center in question is one of the group's subsidiaries. In addition to the fasting regimen, Liu Shanglin also implanted clapping movements in yoga and aerobics, claiming that clapping can resist the new coronary pneumonia epidemic and treat cancer and diabetes.
On June 24, the Tieli City Public Security Bureau criminally detained Liu Shanglin, General Manager Yang Li, and Lecturer Wu Hongxi of Heilongjiang Riyuexia Forest Tourism Group Co., Ltd. in connection with the crime of using superstition to cause death. The case is currently being processed further.
Man undergoes "Qigong Master" treatment for 300,000 years
According to the introduction of Li Mouran’s father, Li Mouran studied a major in Mechatronics at a college in Harbin and graduated in 2017. Because he did not find a suitable job after graduation, and Li Mouran was dissatisfied with the college he went to, he often murmured at home, and his mental emotions were somewhat abnormal. "Before that, the child had no problem, but he was a little bit fat. He went to the wellness center and was introduced by an acquaintance, saying that there is a very famous qigong master who can cure all kinds of diseases."
This "Qigong master" is Liu Shanglin, chairman of Heilongjiang Riyuexia Great Forest Tourism Group Co., Ltd. This elderly care center is one of the many subsidiaries of its group.
For more than two years, Li Mouran has been studying Qigong and meditating in a health center. In order to accompany the children, Li Mouran’s mother also came to the health center to do volunteer work, such as sweeping the floor and washing dishes every day.
Li Mouran's mother said that Li Mouran had also seen a doctor in Beijing, but he was not diagnosed. "Liu Shanglin understands my son's condition and says he can be cured." Li Mouran's mother said that Liu Shanglin also emphasized that there must be a miracle in Li Mouran's body.
Li Mouran’s mother spent a period of time in the rehabilitation center and found that this organization that promotes public welfare is not free to cure the disease. The so-called cure in the rehabilitation center is to practice qigong in class, let the students meditate and pulse . The so-called Tongmai is when someone covers her and her son's head with something, and then reads a mantra, paying 5400 yuan each time.
"It has cost about 300,000 yuan in the past two years." Speaking of the expenses over the past two years, Li Mouran's mother said that in addition to the training cost to treat his son's illness, he also has to pay for it. She said that Suo Yuan was to pay money to the health care center.
Li Mouran’s mother said that she did not have a salary as a volunteer in the health care center, mainly to increase her child’s welfare. According to the staff of the health center, if she wanted a salary, she could not increase her child’s welfare.
54 days after dieting was asked to be cremated immediately
Li Mouran's mother said that in April this year, Li Mouran saw the teacher at the health care center and ran away, unwilling to practice, when she happened to meet Liu Shanglin.
Liu Shanglin told her that Li Mouran wouldn't want to practice, so let's try it (a fasting treatment). "Ask Liu Shanglin how long it will take Pi Gu. He said it will be longer. There are 90 days and 82 days. Li Mouran will take 60 to 70 days. Let's take a look at the situation first."
According to Liu Shanglin's instructions, Li Mouran began to dig the valley under the care of his mother, not eating every day, but only drinking the spring water produced by Liu Shanglin's control of the enterprise. On the 30th day, Li Mouran went to Liu Shanglin and said that his stomach was unbearable. The guidance he got was to drink hot water and continue to insist.
Li Mouran's mother recalled that on the 38th and 39th days of Pigu, the son who was alive and kicking before could not stand or walk. Liu Shanglin told Li Mouran's mother, and then insisted on insisting that until the 60th day, Li Mouran would benefit. On the same day, the teacher of the wellness center gave Li Mouran an injection to deliver water, saying that he needed calcium supplementation.
On June 19, Li Mouran suffered from severe collapse and was sent back to the health center after being sent to the hospital with no abnormal CT scan.
Li Mouran's mother looked at her son, who was seriously collapsed, and decided not to dig the valley. That night, the mother cooked bowls of noodles to feed her son. Li Mouran vomited all over. The next day he fed some porridge, and all vomited again.
At 3:30 in the morning of June 21st, Li Mouran began to foam in his mouth, with a low blood pressure of 40 and a high pressure of only 70. Li Mouran's mother quickly called her husband and dialed 120, but emergency personnel arrived at the scene and failed to rescue the child.
Li Mouran’s mother recalled that after his son’s death, Liu Shanglin demanded immediate cremation. “He said otherwise Li Mouran’s stomach would explode.”
Regarding the account of Li Mouran's family, Liu Shanglin responded that he did invent the method of stopping food and health, but the treatment cycle is only 5 to 7 days. Li Mouran is illegal to extend the treatment period. In addition, Liu Shanglin kept silent on other issues.
After the incident, Li Mouran’s father agreed to the police to conduct an autopsy on the son’s body, and no autopsy report has been received.
"Masters" set up health centers across the country to promote clap dance
The Beijing News reporter inquired about Liu Shanglin’s resume and found that he had served as the director of the Tieli Forestry Region Tourism Bureau, the director of the Tieli Forestry Bureau’s Institute of Health Sciences and the secretary of the party branch.
The predecessor of Heilongjiang Riyuexia Great Forest Tourism Group Co., Ltd. is the "Oriental Health Research Institute", which is affiliated to the Tieli Forestry Bureau and is a unit owned by the whole people. After several restructurings, the organization was renamed Heilongjiang Riyuexia Forest Tourism Group Co., Ltd. on November 2, 2016.
The National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System shows that Heilongjiang Riyuexia Great Forest Tourism Group Co., Ltd. was established in June 2001. Its main business includes domestic tourism business, hotel accommodation service, large-scale celebration event planning, health consultation, health food retailing, etc.
The Riyuexia Senior Forest Health Center of Tieli City, headed by the Tieli Civil Affairs Bureau, was established in October 2019. Its business scope includes self-care, semi-self-care, elderly care and rehabilitation services for the elderly, disabled people, spiritual comfort, Cultural entertainment, residential pension, trusteeship, etc.
The Beijing News reporter noted that the company involved and the rehabilitation center did not involve in providing rehabilitation services for young people, nor did they have medical qualifications. In response, the staff of the Tieli Civil Affairs Bureau said it would investigate.
The Beijing News reporter found on the official website of Heilongjiang Riyuexia Great Forest Tourism Group Co., Ltd., which has companies and institutions in many fields such as health technology, cultural media, food, yoga, travel agencies and so on.
These companies and institutions cooperate with each other to attract audiences to attend classes and implant clap movements into yoga and aerobics for audience practice. After that, produce food for students to eat, and make teaching videos to spread on the Internet to continue to attract the audience and cycle back and forth.
At the same time, the group set up health halls in Beijing, Shanghai, Heilongjiang, Hainan, Hebei, Shanxi, Guizhou and other places to promote its clapping dance and drinking water, fungus, honey and other products.
According to the company's official website information, as of 2018, 300,000 students nationwide have studied the company's courses. In addition, the company's business also involves overseas countries such as Japan.
Declared that "clap hands can prevent new coronary pneumonia and treat cancer"
The Beijing News reporter noted that Liu Shanglin is keen to clap hands, whether it is teaching yoga, aerobics, or home health, let everyone clap hands, saying that clapping hands can cure all diseases. Liu Shanglin announced in his video on home epidemic prevention in January this year that he clapped his hands for 10 to 30 minutes. When the hands bleed and raise cocoons, they are detoxifying, preventing the new epidemic of pneumonia and improving immunity to treat cancer.
On the official website of Heilongjiang Riyuexia Great Forest Tourism Group Co., Ltd., there are also many articles describing the stories of various patients who quickly recovered after learning clapping dance.
"Clap dance after cerebral hemorrhage, what medicine shouldn't be eaten" "Articles titled "Sun and moon gorge clap dance after malignant tumor quickly recovered to health" and articles titled "Sun and moon gorge clap dance cured my tinnitus" It has a curative function. It can be recovered by clapping and dancing without taking medicine or giving up chemotherapy during severe illness.
Some articles are accompanied by patient contact information. The reporter tried to call the healer in the article to understand the situation, but most of them showed no answer or the number did not exist.
A "healer" connected to the phone said that she usually dances clapping dance as entertainment after dinner, and acts as an ordinary "square dance" or "aerobics" to move her body. "The article on the Internet was written by me, not by me." She said that she did not believe Liu Shanglin's claim of clapping bleeding to cure the disease, which actually had no therapeutic effect.
Is clap therapy and diet therapy that Liu Shanglin admires, as he really calls "a cure for all diseases"?
Wang Zhen, Ph.D. in Chinese Medicine Encephalopathy, Dongfang Hospital, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine also introduced that short-term fasting can help obese people lose weight. However, patients suffering from blind fasting for a long time, without safety protection measures, not only can not achieve the so-called "all-around treatment" effect, but will increase the damage to various organs of the body.
The so-called "starvation of the tumor" without eating is even more nonsense. Wang Zhen also said that at present there is no evidence that nutritional support promotes tumor growth, the body's nutrition cannot be adequately supplemented, and the body's immune system will be greatly reduced. "As a result, it is only the patient, not the tumor cells."
In addition, for the "sonic yoga" taught by the health center involved, Wang Zhen also believes that it is a "health exercise" and can't cure the disease at all. Regarding the clapping movements taught in the video, Wang Zhen also said that it is impossible to "beat out the virus in the body".
