The Chinese medical community also has doctors pursuing their own research about medicine related to buffalo horns. Recently dealers in Chinese medicine have proposed that the Department of Health or the Council of Agriculture provide photographs of the shells of the three protected species of sea turtles. The dealers claim they are willing to follow the regulations and not import any products using these three species.
近來中醫界有醫師自行研究水牛角的藥效；中藥商也提出，希望衛生署或農委會能提供禁用龜板所屬的三種保育類海龜照片，中藥行願意遵守規定，絕不進口該三種海龜的製品。
