What are the methods of traditional Chinese medicine to treat cancer?

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment methods include three aspects: blood circulation and stasis, strengthening and tonifying, and fighting poison with poison. This article briefly introduces the role and mechanism of blood circulation and stasis in cancer**.

A few years ago, clinicians found that many cancer patients had significantly increased blood viscosity after surgery or chemotherapy, and some of these cases were complicated by cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Further studies have shown that elevated blood viscosity is indeed closely related to the development of cancer, i.e., metastasis and **. According to the survey, about 85% of cancer patients have abnormal blood viscosity and increased blood coagulability; In the case of death, the blood viscosity is much higher than that of the survivor.

In addition, the blood viscosity of patients with cancer metastasis was higher than that of non-metastasized; Patients with advanced disease were higher than patients with advanced and intermediate stages.

Modern medicine believes that cancer cells secrete clotting factors, which directly lead to an increase in blood viscosity. The more cancer cells, the more coagulation factors secreted, so the blood viscosity of advanced cancer patients is significantly higher than that of early stage. On the other hand, a large number of cancer cells in the blood vessels are surrounded by platelets, fibrin, etc., forming large cancer thrombus, resulting in poor blood flow, slow blood flow and stasis, which can easily promote the metastasis of cancer cells from the primary lesion to other parts. Although the explanation of traditional Chinese medicine is not as in-depth as that of Western medicine, they believe that lumps such as cancer are formed by the accumulation of "visible blood", so most patients have blood stasis, showing obvious bruising of the tongue and sublingual pulse, and such patients have been chemically verified to have obvious abnormal viscosity of real blood. It can be seen that the understanding of Chinese and Western medicine is the same way.

According to the above theoretical basis, both Chinese and Western medicine believe that actively alleviating blood viscosity abnormalities is of great significance for controlling the metastasis of cancer and delaying its development, and should be part of the comprehensive. Specifically, cancer patients, whether it is surgery or chemotherapy, whether it is early or advanced, should use blood-activating and stasis-dissolving drugs as an adjuvant**, and in this regard, traditional Chinese medicine has obvious advantages. Because Western medicine can resist blood coagulation and alleviate the high viscosity of the blood, such as:

Heparin, urokinic acid, streptokinic acid, aspirin, etc., have a single variety, large variety, many contraindications, difficult to use for a long time, and have great limitations. Traditional Chinese medicine has a wide variety, high safety, exact effect, greater selectivity and practicability; For example, winter green, kelp, salvia, chicken blood vine, Chuanxiong, leech, etc., all have good anticoagulation, fibrillolytic, and inhibition of platelet aggregation.

In particular, Chuanxiong can not only improve blood viscosity, but also have the pharmacological effects of vasodilation, blood pressure lowering and thrombosis. There are many clinical formulas in TCM that invigorate blood and dissolve stasis, which have been proven to have good anti-cell mutation and control of cancer cell metastasis.

Of course, cancer is a very complex and arduous topic, and the mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine, including blood circulation and stasis, to improve cancer also needs to be deepened. But what is certain is that the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine** cancer has made brilliant achievements and presents broad prospects. It has been reported that about 1 3 of the critically ill cancer patients, supplemented with traditional Chinese medicine**, have controlled the progression of the disease, alleviated the pain, improved the quality of life, and appeared in a state of long-term survival with tumors, prolonging their lifespan.

Wangyin mushroom contains polyphenols, quercetin, selenium trace elements. The selenium and quercetin in Wangyin mushroom have anti-cancer, anti-slip and anti-tumor effects, which can inhibit the proliferation of Xiang tissue, prevent the metastasis of cancer cells, and induce apoptosis of cancer cells. The medicinal ingredient value of Wangyin mushroom exceeds that of all anti-cancer products.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) pays attention to syndrome differentiation and treatment, and there is no so-called most powerful Chinese medicine prescription suitable for all cancer patients.

1.Traditional Chinese medicine ** cancer follows the principle of syndrome differentiation and treatment, Qian Yanfang said that it varies from person to person, and the traditional Chinese medicine prescription used is different for different patients and different pathological stages.

2.In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the formation of cancer is due to the lack of righteous qi and the invasion of evil qi, which belongs to a class of diseases that are good and evil, and evil flourishes and declines, and emotional internal injury is the cause of cancer that cannot be ignored. Under normal circumstances, traditional Chinese medicine can treat cancer by strengthening the spleen and regulating qi, benefiting the lungs and nourishing yin, clearing the intestines, nourishing blood and replenishing deficiency, tonifying the kidneys, softening and dispersing knots, clearing heat and detoxifying, invigorating blood and removing stasis, dissolving phlegm and dampness.

These treatments either replenish the correct qi or dispel the evil qi, but they must be based on the premise of dialectical argumentation. If the patient's righteousness is still sufficient, it is mainly to dispel evil spirits, supplemented by correcting them; If the patient's righteousness has declined, the main treatment is to strengthen the righteousness, supplemented by dispelling evil spirits.

3.Traditional Chinese medicine can also assist Western medicine in the treatment of **cancer. For example, during radiotherapy, it can nourish qi and nourish yin, invigorate blood and detoxify; After chemotherapy, it can strengthen the spleen and stomach, nourish qi and nourish blood, etc.

In short, there is no specific and standard prescription for cancer in traditional Chinese medicine, and it is necessary to distinguish and treat the syndrome in combination with the patient's physique. If cancer patients need traditional Chinese medicine**, they should ask a regular Chinese medicine practitioner to prescribe medication and avoid self-medication**.

At present, the most advanced way of cancer proton heavy ion medical care, it is good to know, but it is also really expensive. And Medicare does not reimburse.
