EARLY TESTS ON CANCER PATIENTS

Animal testing of Tian Xian pills continued, and not all of these went well. In toxic foundation tests using ten rats, all the test subjects died after six hours. I was not too disappointed, because I regarded this as the first steps from sadness to the joy of success. This was how I felt at that moment. I sometimes made use of my own body as a test subject for my research. Soon after my test on rats showed some positive effects, I heard by coincidence that my father-in –law was suffering from carcinoma of the stomach that was aggravated by the final stages of liver cancer. When the physicians declared that my father-in-law had only ten days to live, he eventually decided to take the Tian Xian pills which, as I have mentioned, began to show some positive effects on laboratory animals. I also improved the formula by evaluating the mixture’s effects on my own body.

While I was pleased by the willingness of my father-in-law to try my medicine, I was very uneasy about the results of my experiments, which were not totally satisfactory. My parents obviously did not agree to test the medicine on my father-in-law. My neighbors, who thought I was an unrealistic man who dreamed all day long, sometimes criticized me. Was it humane for me to try my medicine out on a cancer patient in the final stages of the disease – a patient who was also my wife’s father? On the other hand, as I looked into the dying face of my father-in-law, I remembered the face of the young lady who lost her mother ten years ago. I decided to pass the Tian Xian pills to him. Three days later, the funeral of my father-in-law took place in an atmosphere of gloom.
