Associate Professor Nguyen Lan Hieu exposes miracle blood purification drug to prevent stroke

Recently, Associate Professor Nguyen Lan Hieu, Director of Hanoi Medical University Hospital, shared the story of many people going for blood filtration to remove blood fat and many other diseases. Many facilities advertise that just blood filtration will help remove blood fat, bad blood, prevent stroke, atherosclerosis, diabetes, fatty liver... Customers can even go to Singapore or Japan to perform this procedure.

"If it only takes 2-3 hours and costs less than ten million VND to prevent stroke, high blood fat, and diabetes, then cardiologists like me will probably be unemployed. A truly effective method will be included in the guidelines of professional associations, but up to now there have been no recommendations for preventive dialysis," said Dr. Hieu.

More than 200 million VND for blood fat scanning

When contacting a health care brokerage center in Hai Ba Trung district (Hanoi), Ms. Hong Hanh was introduced to a blood fat filtering service to prevent stroke and cardiovascular disease for more than 200 million VND.

Ms. Hanh shared that her mother has diabetes, high blood fat, especially cholesterol and triglyceride. For about half a year now, her health has been declining. Ms. Hanh heard that blood filtration can prevent strokes, so she wanted her mother to experience this service. However, with a cost of nearly 9,000 USD excluding airfare, food, accommodation and only a commitment to reduce blood fat in cases where the blood vessels are good, she is still hesitant.

“The cost is quite high and I have not seen any successful cases to trust, so I did not register after careful research,” said Ms. Hanh.

Posing as someone who needs to filter blood fat to prevent stroke, the reporter contacted the above consulting office. The broker committed that this Japanese technology helps to completely remove bad blood fat, heavy metals, microplastics, neurotoxins, viruses, and harmful proteins after only 2-3 hours of resting, the machine filters automatically.

Customers in need can have dialysis done at a large hospital in Hanoi. Those who want to do it in Japan will have a broker to guide them and complete the exit procedures.

According to the consultancy office's advertisement, this technology is number 1 in Japan, after only 2 hours, the blood fat index will decrease to normal level. The broker showed many samples of the customer's triglyceride test before filtering which was 248 mg/Dl, but after 2 hours of blood filtering, this index was only 42 ml/Dl, cholesterol also decreased from 235 ml/DL to 153 mg/Dl.

According to the broker, patients with high blood fat, increased liver enzymes, fatty liver and other diseases after dialysis, toxins and blood fat were completely "washed away". The above method is advertised as popular in Japan and many people in this country go for regular dialysis to clear blood fat, other toxins, and increase longevity.

Japanese people do not live longer thanks to dialysis

We sent this information to Dr. Pham Nguyen Quy, Head of the Department of Internal Medicine Oncology, Kyoto Miniren Central Hospital, Japan, and received a surprising response.

According to Dr. Quy, there is no data showing that Japanese people live longer thanks to dialysis; this is an exaggerated advertisement. Currently, there is no scientific evidence of the effectiveness of dialysis. For people with high blood fat or fatty liver, the medical profession encourages them to change their lifestyle and combine it with lipid-lowering drugs when necessary. In Japan, this is a widely recommended solution with clear evidence of effectiveness and the cheapest cost because health insurance covers 70-90%.

According to Dr. Kinoshita Chiharu, Head of the Department of Nephrology at the same hospital, disease prevention and treatment should focus on treating the root cause. If high blood fat is caused by excessive drinking, it is better to control this problem instead of having regular dialysis as a temporary solution.

Although the procedure of inserting a needle to remove blood for filtering and returning it to the body is often performed in patients with severe kidney failure or high blood lipid levels due to genetic diseases, this is not recommended in other subjects, especially in healthy people, because of the risk of blood infection as well as damage to the cutaneous nerve.

In Japan, therapies without clear evidence of benefit are not covered by health insurance and are not recommended by the Japanese Medical Association. If people choose to do it themselves, they will be responsible for any complications that may occur in their bodies. This is why the number of Japanese people who follow this dialysis therapy is very small.

However, free dialysis is not banned in Japan because people have the right to decide for themselves how to treat their own bodies and how to treat them according to their relationship with the service provider. Therefore, doctors advise people to be extremely cautious.
