Since it is made from human flesh, even if it can cure diseases, it is not used because it is too foreign to Vietnamese culture and humanistic traditions.

The Drug Administration of Vietnam affirms that it does not allow the registration, production, import and circulation in Vietnam of "Chinese drugs made from human flesh".

Previously, the Nigerian Standards Organization confirmed that there are Chinese pharmaceuticals on the Nigerian market containing human flesh. These drugs are in capsule form, advertised to help increase resistance, treat cancer, diabetes and some terminal diseases.

In South Korea, the drug control agency also discovered and confiscated this "horrific" drug from China.

The Drug Administration Department is right to publicize this information and issue a warning. It must be clear and transparent so that people and businesses know that the issue here is not simply a medicine, but also related to the mental and spiritual life of people.

In the Vietnamese mindset, there is no concept or idea of ​​using human flesh for any purpose.

It is possible that Chinese superstitions held that baby body parts would give people special physical strength or have the ability to cure all diseases, including serious illnesses.

But no matter how superstitious the Vietnamese are, they can never "swallow" capsules containing human flesh.

Since it is made from human flesh, even if it can cure serious diseases, it is not used because it is too foreign to the culture and humanistic traditions of the Vietnamese people. For the Vietnamese, even if manufacturers process pharmaceuticals from fetuses or dead human flesh, it is still a crime.

But in reality, there is no scientific basis to confirm that medicines made from human flesh can cure serious diseases. Even if someone is "sick and prays to all directions", they should not believe in this medicine. Not to mention, it could contain pathogens.

It is necessary to educate the community to protect themselves, but the authorities must control and strictly punish individuals, organizations and businesses that bring drugs made from human flesh from China into Vietnam.

It is not impossible that some people, for money, recklessly import this drug into Vietnam. Therefore, if there is a basis, criminal prosecution must be taken.

Do not allow even one human flesh pill into Vietnam.
