Stir up a fire and burn oneself: the secret of fire therapy
Journal Title: Traditional Medicine Research - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
On December 25, 2018, Ding Xiang Yuan Weixin Public Platform, a well-known medical academic exchange platform in China, published an article "The Ten-Billion Health Care Empire Quan Jian and the Chinese Families in its Shadow". The article questioned whether Quan Jian Company's fire therapy has any therapeutic effect and cited several cases of death caused by fire therapy of Quan Jian Company. Quan Jian subsequently issued an official statement, stating that the article published by "Dingxiang Doctor", was false information and initiated a lawsuit against the company affiliated with Ding Xiang Yuan, which has now entered the judicial process.
