   With the increase of age,the physical function will inevitably decline.Health care has become the top priority of many elderly people in their later life.Some businesses play the"family card",engage in free experience,exaggerate the efficacy of products,and use the psychology of the elderly to sell products.Therefore,some old people believe in"experts"and advertisements,resist drugs and spend a lot of money on health care equipment.Why are old people obsessed with"health care"?In recent days,the reporter approached the elderly and their children and listened to their stories
 
  ■emergency medical treatment
 
  For the treatment of complications,the medicine is allergic
 
  Zhang,74,has been suffering from diabetes for 11 years.In the past two years,blood glucose control is not very good,and peripheral neuropathy and fundus lesions have appeared one after another.And she knows that the harm of diabetes comes mainly from all kinds of complications.
 
  When walking around the corner,she found that a health salon was opened near the community,and self-made plaster was used for symptomatic treatment,which could reduce the"four highs",dispel dampness and cold,treat scapulohumeral periarthritis,sciatica and so on.It happened that in those days,Ms.Zhang couldn't lift her arm with pain.
 
  "As soon as I went in,the clerk asked me about my condition in detail,and then did a physical examination with the instrument for free,saying that I was short of calcium and had inflammation."Ms.Zhang recalled that the top 30 in the store could give 8 eggs free of charge,and the new store opened with a 50%discount on the plaster.As soon as she thought it was appropriate,she bought 14 stickers and spent 1000 yuan.
 
  Every day,Ms.Zhang arrives at the store very early.After receiving the eggs,she asks the clerk to stick the plaster on her left shoulder.After the third paste,she felt that her left shoulder was hot and itchy.The clerk said that the drug effect would be good in a short time.She was also told not to tear it in advance.It would take enough time to have an effect.In this way,in order to cure the disease,Ms.Zhang insisted all night.When she went again the next day,the store manager said that her skin was sensitive and the place where the plaster was applied was broken.She asked her to come back in three days.
 
  After two or three days of burning,the itching began again.After dinner,she felt very uncomfortable.The store had finished work,so she called her granddaughter to lift up her clothes.There was a red rash on her back and blisters on the place where the plaster was applied.
 
  "I don't see the manufacturer or ingredient list of the plaster.It's just that a piece of paper with shoulder and neck stickers is pasted on the transparent bag.It's obviously a three no product."Ms.Zhang's granddaughter said that the old man should be allergic and took her to the hospital immediately.A few days after returning home,the family became more and more angry and planned to go to the store to make a statement.Unexpectedly,the store was closed.
 
  ■don't want to cause trouble
 
  For the sake of good health,I am addicted to health care products
 
  Mr.Deng,68,has only one son.The son settled in Xiahuayuan district after marriage and came back to visit them once a month.
 
  "Our old couple's monthly retirement salary adds up to about 8500 yuan.Our children don't need help and there's no pressure."In Mr.Deng's view,his son's family is happy and his work is stable.The first task for him and his wife is to take good care of their body,be tough and do not cause trouble to their children.
 
  Three years ago,by chance,after listening to two health lectures,Mr.Deng began to buy health products at home every three or five times."We have high blood fat and blood pressure,as well as low back and leg pain.They will recommend products according to our physical conditions.Reduce blood fat and reduce blood pressure,soften blood vessels,protect the heart,repair joints and so on."Mr.Deng said that in the first year,it cost 20000 yuan to buy health products.In the second year,the health salon sold a physiotherapy room,which can expel cold and dampness,dredge meridians,treat diseases and keep healthy.More than 40000 people bought them without thinking,put them in the living room and sit in for a while every day.
 
  At first,Mr.Deng's son didn't care much.He felt that he was far away from his parents and didn't take good care of them at ordinary times.The economic conditions at home were OK.It was also a good choice for them to spend some money to recuperate their body without too much intervention.But in the past three years,almost all of their parents'retirement wages have been used to buy health care products.They usually have to argue with people for a few cents to buy vegetables.When they buy health care products,they are generous.
 
  The son noticed that his parents were different and worried that they would sink deeper and deeper,so he took the old man to live with them on the grounds that he needed the old man to help pick up the children.Also constantly let parents see some cases of obsession with health care products delaying their illness,and take time to play with them,hoping to gradually help parents stop thinking about buying health care products.
 
  ■little care for children
 
  Sales are very friendly,but they are more"pro"than girls
 
  "Aunt Zhang,have you had breakfast?Did you sleep well last night?How did your blood sugar drop today?"Early in the morning,Ms.Zhang,a 60 year old citizen,received a call from the sales of the health salon,which she often went to.Ms.Zhang smiled and replied in the same soft voice.Ms.Wu,the daughter on the side,reminded her mother,"is this Sales fooling you to buy health care products?The information on this health care product is incomplete.I checked on the Internet and there is no relevant product information at all.It's a three no product.What if it's bad!"The more Ms.Wu said,the more angry she became."You say I'm wrong every day.When did you care about me like this salesman?"Ms.Zhang is in a hurry with her daughter.Because of the purchase of health products,the relationship between Ms.Zhang and her daughter was once very tense.
 
  A year ago,she discovered diabetes and took hypoglycemic drugs under the doctor's advice.A few days later,she heard that a health club near the community could listen to lectures and get eggs for free.In a month,Ms.Zhang became a regular visitor there,received no small gifts,learned a lot of health knowledge,and had a new understanding of her disease.From the second month,the girl in the store recommended a hypoglycemic capsule."Aunt,it's a health product.Although it's not a medicine,it can make you healthy.Try it first,whether it's used or not."Ms.Zhang thought it was reasonable and took a box.
 
  After trying for two days,Ms.Zhang felt effective and spent more than 3000 yuan to buy six boxes of health products.Ms.Zhang believed in this health product and stopped the hypoglycemic drugs prescribed by the hospital.
 
  "It is said that the elderly are old children,and they are particularly easy to coax.The family offensive of sales makes the elderly feel meticulous care,win the trust of the elderly,and what the sales say is what."Ms.Wu is quite helpless.
 
  At the end of last year,the health care center was closed.The salesperson called Ms.Zhang:"aunt,the store is closed.This health care product has stopped selling.I'll do something else.Listen to me,you'd better go to the hospital to have a good look at your illness."
 
  ■deep brainwashing routine
 
  As long as the old man comes,you can't believe it
 
  "It's good for the elderly to pay attention to their health,but they have to have some discrimination.They can't blindly follow the trend and casually believe in the words of the so-called'experts'and'patients'."Ms.Wang,a citizen,is still haunted by the experience of her mother-in-law Ms.Zhao two years ago.
 
  Ms.Zhao's waist and legs have always been bad.At that time,she was pulled to a health physiotherapy center by her neighbors to experience a magnetic therapy mattress for free.The salesperson claimed that the mattress has curative effect on common diseases of the elderly such as insomnia,waist and leg pain and hypertension.The old man who experienced here said that she had experienced insomnia for more than a week and had improved a lot for more than a decade.Ms.Zhao was quite moved by the current example and experienced it continuously for a month with a try mentality.During this period,the old man spent 40000 yuan on two mattresses,saying that one was for his own use and the other was given to his brother with cerebral infarction.Subsequently,two old people who experienced together bought mattresses.Seeing that others use it well,Ms.Zhao also bought this mattress.However,after more than two years of use,the low back and leg pain has not been relieved.
 
  Ms.Liu,who has the same mentality as Ms.Zhao,also believes that"seeing is believing"is the"hard truth".
 
  Ms Liu is suffering from diabetes and has been well controlled.Years ago,she went to a health management center to experience physical therapy.After entering the door,an"expert"looked at Ms.Liu and said that she was heavily wet.He recommended her to run a detoxification project of 5000 yuan for 10 times to help her remove dampness and detoxification.After being brainwashed by all kinds of people,Ms.Liu got a card.During the physical therapy,the clerk pasted several medicine stickers on Ms.Liu's back.After half an hour,she felt water flowing down her back.The clerk told Ms.Liu that this was the moisture discharged from her body.She believed it.She also introduced several relatives and friends to experience it,so she received a foot treatment program.Since then,the clerk recommended a high-priced"traditional Chinese medicine rice"for Ms.Liu and suggested that she go home to cook porridge.She immediately bought a few kilograms.
 
  "What tests do not do can determine the heavy humidity?Diabetes patients can not drink rice gruel,this is common sense,where people also sell the old people"Chinese medicine rice",let her go home to gruel.Ms.Liu's son thought her mother had been fooled.
 
  ■citizens have something to say
 
  Children should pay more attention to persuasion
 
  Citizen Ms.Hao:"we should explain to our parents that they are the most important people for our children.The reason to keep the elderly away from three no health care products is that they are afraid of eating something wrong.If they do suffer from diseases,we must go to the hospital for medical treatment,follow the doctor's advice and take the elderly for physical examination regularly."
 
  Citizen Mr.Cui:"as a child,you should pay attention to your parents'speech.Coax your parents,just like they coaxed you in those years,and be patient.Learn to use the story of others being cheated to sound the alarm for your parents.Even if your parents are cheated,don't complain too much.It's hard for the elderly to feel.At this time,the nagging of your children is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire."
 
  Citizen Ms.Li:"go to legal and regular shops to buy health products,ask for invoices or sales vouchers,identify the"blue hat"logo picture and registration number/filing number of health food on the product package,and inquire about the product on the website of the State Administration of market supervision and administration through the name and approval number to identify the authenticity."
