    For the ancients rarely got cancer, in fact, it is not necessarily said that the ancients were very healthy, because in ancient times, people had no concept of cancer at that time, and the cause of death in ancient times was more from some sudden diseases or plagues, and even various natural disastersWe all know that cancer is a chronic disease, even if people die of cancer, people will not find out, because at that time, people's life expectancy can be said to be generally very low, usually able to live past 35 years old, it is basically considered an advanced age, and the age of onset of cancer is usually over 40 years old, it can be said that many people have died before they live to this age, and naturally there is less understanding of cancer.

    In fact, the discovery of cancer mainly depends on the medical technology we have developed, because the existence of cancer can be found from various medical instruments, and in ancient times, it was usually relied on the sight and hearing of traditional Chinese medicine, so it can be said that there is less understanding of many viruses in the body, and in the past, people were sick from some acute diseases, and there were not many experimental tools, so doctors were relatively helpless for these acute diseases. Therefore, many people in ancient times died of acute diseasesIn addition, there are all kinds of natural and man-made disasters, such as floods, famines, or wars, etc., resulting in many people dying in various disasters, so in such an environment, as I just said, the average life expectancy of the population is relatively low, and in such an environment, cancer naturally has no room for development, so natural people do not know much about this area.

    In the past, because the standard of living was relatively backward, the environment can be said to be very fresh, and there are no additives in food and other aspects, which can be said to be relatively healthyOn the one hand, environmental pollution is becoming more and more serious, and secondly, food is often added with various additives, as the so-called disease comes from the mouth, it can be said that many times cancer occurs because of this, and the ancients had a different environment, and the natural incidence rate was relatively small.

    For cancer, it's not that the ancients had very little, it's just that people's concept of cancer was not too clear, so it can't be said that it is very little, but there is no specific concept.

    There is no other external radiation, or other things that harm the human body, the ancients exercised a lot, and the body immunity was strong.

    It does not mean that the ancients rarely suffered from cancer, the ancient medical technology was backward, and there was no relevant concept of cancer, nor could it diagnose whether the patient had cancer.

  4. Anonymous users2024-02-09

    Because the ancients did not know what diseases were cancer, even if they died of cancer, they would think that it was caused by other diseases.

    People's lives are simple, and their thoughts are very simple, so there are fewer cases of cancer, and at that time they had less air pollution, and now the pace of people's lives has accelerated, plus the air pollution in life, plus the pressure of people, so it is easy to get cancer.

    The incidence rate is not particularly high, maybe the current planting technology is not particularly passable, and people will not pay attention to their diet in life, so many people will get cancer.

  7. Anonymous users2024-02-06

    It's not high, because now people's living standards have improved, they mainly eat greasy food every day, and lack of exercise, so they will get cancer.

  8. Anonymous users2024-02-05

    It is especially high, because people's diet and rest are completely irregular, and it will also be affected by genetic factors or social factors.

    It's not that ancient people rarely got cancer, but ancient medicine was quite underdeveloped, and many diseases could not be detected at all, and there was no concept of cancer in Chinese medicine, so I felt that ancient people rarely got cancer.

  10. Anonymous users2024-02-03

    The main reason is that ancient medical technology was limited, and human beings died from various reasons before they could reach the age when cancer appeared, so it seemed that few people got cancer.

  11. Anonymous users2024-02-02

    Because the average life expectancy of ancient people was very short, most people died before the age of 40, and the age of 40 is the age of high incidence of cancer.

    The main reason is that in ancient times, there was less pollution, and the natural environment was better, there were not so many chemicals, and it was not easy to cause cancer.

    Ancient eating habits were not so complicated, so there would not be so many people getting cancer, and the life expectancy of ancient people was relatively short, and it was too late to get cancer.

    The causes of cancer are very complex, with environmental factors, genetic factors, and the possibility of luck with random mutations. In ancient times, the average life expectancy was very short, and they left before they could get cancer, and there was no chance of getting cancer.

  15. Anonymous users2024-01-29

    The main reason cannot be attributed to the short life span of ancient people. I think the main problem is that the "environment" of modern life has indeed changed.

  16. Anonymous users2024-01-28

    There are far more types of diseases in modern times than in ancient times, not because the ancients did not have these diseases, but mostly because modern medical technology has made diseases unhidden, and the ancients were trapped in the level of ancient medicine and could not do it.

  17. Anonymous users2024-01-27

    Due to the limitations of medical equipment, ancient people could not recognize the essential characteristics of cancer, and could only observe the lesions on the surface of the patient, which was difficult to detect malignant tumors hidden deep in the body.

    The ancient diet was simpler and had no additives; In ancient times, there were few chemical products and people generally had a short life expectancy.

    In ancient times, there were also people who got cancer, but at that time they didn't know that it was cancer, but in ancient times, people got less cancer, because there were not so many carcinogens in food at that time.

    The reason why there are many cancers is determined by factors such as food, drinking water, environmental pollution, and lack of exercise. In ancient times, eating, drinking, and wearing were relatively natural, no chemicals, no additives, not to mention the air, no industry, no emissions, and a good natural environment.

  22. Anonymous users2024-01-22

    The main reason is that many modern human constitutions have become a stasis constitution of "cold, damp and poison", and the nutrients needed by cells cannot enter, and the toxic and harmful substances produced by cell metabolism and eaten cannot be discharged.

    Lack of various nutrients and oxygen, heavy cold and dampness, and a lot of toxins and garbage, which is not conducive to the survival of normal cells.

    But cells survive only by genetic mutations in order to adapt to the new environment.

    When the cell gene is mutated, the bad cells that will multiply will become cancer cells, and after a long period of time, they will form tumors.

    It is particularly important to change the constitution of cold, dampness, poison and blockage, and eliminate the soil in which cancer cells live.

    Cancer is more common now, not because life has gotten better. On the one hand, people have become lazy, and people in the past went out on foot, worked all day, and exercised much more than modern people. On the other hand, the environment is seriously polluted now, and at that time there were not so many plastic products and chemical pollution, so naturally there were not so many strange diseases.

  24. Anonymous users2024-01-20

    Compared with modern times, the probability of getting cancer in ancient times should be much smaller, after all, the ancient environment was good, there were no additives in the food, and they went to bed when it was dark.

    It was certainly less than it is now, but due to the underdevelopment of medicine, people who had cancer at that time did not know that it was cancer.

    I think the ancients definitely had fewer cancers than they do now. Because in ancient times, there were almost no flu viruses of all kinds. And people in ancient times didn't like to eat wild meat.

    There are people who need cancer, a bunch of bad guys who make a fortune from cancer, they are making up cancer, they are blurring cancer, they are killing people in the name of cancer, collecting money, and doing industry. Do a safe business, make steady profits, earn without a cap, and earn with the lives of patients. Who can tell what cancer is and what is disease?

    Death is your normal reaction, and not being treated is a three-year survival rate. Who's protecting?

    It's definitely less likely than the odds, because there wasn't so much pollution in ancient times, and the things they ate were all natural, so no one got cancer.

    I feel that it is, because after all, the average life expectancy of ancient people was only 30 years old, and many people died because of minor diseases such as colds and diarrhea, and at that time cancer cells did not have time to multiply in large numbers.

    Yes. British archaeologists have found traces of cancer on a human skeleton dating back 3,000 years. The words of Durham Dr. Mike Binder, who participated in the excavation of the skeleton, reported:

    The information gained from human remains like this one can help us understand the evolution and history of modern diseases. Our analysis shows that subtle injuries to the bones can only be caused by soft tissue cancer, but it is not possible to determine what kind of cancer it is based on the bones alone. ”

    Cancer has become one of the leading causes of death in modern people, but compared to other diseases, the historical record of cancer is almost blank, which has led to the belief that cancer has a relationship with the increase in human life expectancy and modern lifestyles.

    Yes. Professors at the University of Manchester have studied hundreds of mummies, and only one has been confirmed to have signs of cancer. Cancer-like conditions were not recorded until the 17th century, and increased significantly after the Industrial Revolution.

    The British "Daily Mail" quoted Professor Michael Zimmerman, a visiting scholar at the University of Manchester, as saying: "In ancient times, people rarely used surgical methods to ** diseases. Therefore, in the case of cancer, the lesion will remain intact ......However, no malignant tumors were found in the mummies, which can only be explained by the fact that cancer was rare in ancient times.

    Some come. Traditional Chinese medicine advocates to:

    It is mainly beneficial to adjust the relevant symptoms of the human body, improve the destruction of the human body by tumors, and make the condition tend to improve, especially for improving the quality of life of patients. However, cancer is still based on radiotherapy and chemotherapy of Western medicine, and at the same time, Western medicine, targeted drugs and other symptomatic drugs are applied as appropriate, and traditional Chinese medicine can assist in improving the quality of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, adjust the relevant conditions of the human body, improve immunity, and cooperate with Western medicine for cancer.

    First of all, it is necessary to correct a false statement, that "ancient people were not allowed to treat cancer", which is incorrect.

    According to the DAO, people in the ancient plate generation also got cancer, and scientists have found signs of tumors in fossilized Neanderthal bones unearthed in Croatia, a primitive man who lived about 120,000 years ago. This is the oldest human tumor ever discovered. The oldest tumors previously discovered came from Egypt and date back to 4,000 to 1,000 years ago.

    Therefore, cancer does not distinguish between ancient and modern times, and it can be said that there have been descriptions of tumors since the beginning of written records of human beings, and it is also reasonable to speculate that human beings also had tumors before there were written records. Therefore, it can be said that with human beings, there is such a disease as tumors, which has existed since ancient times.

    Speaking of cancer, as early as the Song Dynasty in the 12th century (1170), Dongxuan Jushi wrote about it.

    A "Wei Ji Bao Book" mentions the term "cancer version".

    The word "cancer" did not appear in traditional classics such as the Kangxi Dictionary, and it was not until 1915 that the word "cancer" officially appeared in the "Ciyuan" and the "Chinese Dictionary", explaining that "cancer" is a malignant tumor. Some people think that the dreaded cancer is a disease discovered in modern times. In fact, cancer has been documented since ancient times.

    As early as the beginning of the third century A.D., there were records of cancer cases in Wang Shuhe's "Pulse Meridian", and malignant tumors were called cancer in traditional Chinese medicine.

    In ancient times, many people died early. Just say it's a terminal illness. Not self.

    It's just a word for "cancer". Such as the famous zhi Zhuge Liang, according to the records.

    DAO, it's mostly stomach cancer! Before he died, he was not able to eat normally. Cao Cao is even more brain cancer! There is also Lu Meng, a famous general of the Eastern Wu of the Three Kingdoms, who said in the book that it may be liver cancer (he likes to drink alcohol since he was young, which hurts his liver).
