Whether it is Chinese medicine or Western medicine, there is a taboo saying, Western medicine often explains that it is relatively simple, liver disease or cephalosporin drugs can not drink alcohol, and Chinese medicine often determines the taboo according to the cause and symptoms of spicy, greasy, etc., and even has a special saying - hair. So what are the special taboo requirements for cancer patients?
Ms. Liu, a 62-year-old living in Guangdong, had breast cancer in her early years, but after surgery and chemotherapy, the tumor had disappeared, and because of the timely detection, the doctor told Ms. Liu that her cancer had been completely cured.
Ms. Liu, who has recovered from a serious illness, lives a leisurely retirement life, but her son's new marriage makes Ms. Liu busy again, and after marriage, Ms. Liu has taken on the responsibility of taking care of the child.
In March 2021, Ms. Liu began to sleep after breastfeeding the child, and suddenly felt a tingling sensation in her waist, the pain came quickly, Ms. Liu almost couldn't hold the child steadily, and the child fell to the ground, so she hurriedly put the child in the crib and began to knead the painful waist, at first the pain was still very obvious, making it very difficult for Ms. Liu to bend over, as the massage progressed, she slowly felt the pain relieved, and then she found a plaster to stick on the painful area.
Ms. Liu thought that with the relief of the pain, it would be over, but the low back pain became more and more intense, at first she would start to feel the low back pain vaguely when she was holding the child, and then even if the body did not bear weight, she would have lower back discomfort, and it also radiated to her legs, and she could feel numbness and pain in her legs.
At this time, Ms. Liu's family thought that Ms. Liu's lumbar intervertebral disc herniated, and the symptoms were indeed very similar, so they unanimously asked Ms. Liu to stop working.
After learning that the pigeon has the effect of nourishing the kidney yin and strengthening the muscles and bones, Ms. Liu's wife specially bought a lot of pigeons to add a meal to Ms. Liu, the pigeon soup is full of color and flavor, Ms. Liu also enjoyed a beautiful meal, after eating pigeon meat for a week, Ms. Liu did feel the obvious change.
First of all, Ms. Liu felt that her sleep quality has improved significantly, she can usually wake up with a little movement, and now she can sleep peacefully in the deep snoring, and the discomfort in her waist has also been relieved a lot, from a scientific point of view, this is indeed a change brought by pigeons, because pigeon soup is rich in amino acids and chondroitin, which can relieve fatigue, strengthen muscles and bones, and calm the nerves.
So after Ms. Liu's condition improved, she continued to drink pigeon soup, but the accident came soon, in May 2021, Ms. Liu was sleeping, and suddenly felt a serious pain in her waist and legs, and the pain was so severe that it was difficult to turn over, Ms. Liu's moaning attracted the attention of her husband, and at this time her husband found that Ms. Liu's sheets were wet for most of the time, and he hurriedly helped Ms. Liu massage to relieve the pain, but the effect was not obvious.
Early the next morning, he led Ms. Liu to the hospital, and after doing CT, he found that there was no abnormality in the vertebral body of the lumbar spine, but the second lumbar intervertebral disc had an abnormal bulge, it seemed that the cause of Ms. Liu's low back pain was indeed a herniated lumbar intervertebral disc, but the responsible doctor still suggested that Ms. Liu do an MRI to find out the specific situation in the intervertebral disc, and hoped to figure out the cause of the herniated disc.
Thanks to the examination proposed by the doctor, Ms. Liu's life was saved, and the MRI results showed that Ms. Liu's spinal nerve at the herniated lumbar disc had abnormal tissue infiltration, which was highly suspected to be a metastasis of cancer.
Later, the doctor arranged for Ms. Liu to do a comprehensive general examination, hoping to find out where the metastatic cancer came from, and found an 18mm cancer lump on Ms. Liu's right breast, which turned out to be a recurrence of breast cancer, and then Ms. Liu began to receive treatment.
First of all, the doctor treated the primary tumor, and removed the local lesion through surgery, for the tumor that had metastasized to the lumbar vertebrae, because it was only a local metastasis, and the primary lesion had been removed, so the metastasis was removed with minimally invasive surgery, and then radiotherapy, hoping to completely eliminate the cancer cells, and after 5 months of treatment, Ms. Liu once again picked up a life.
After being cured, Ms. Liu also had a full stomach full of questions, how could her breast cancer recur, and what caused the recurrence and metastasis of her cancer?
So she approached the doctor and asked her own questions, and the doctor said: the statement that cancer patients can't eat pigeons is definitely wrong, after the operation, the vitality is greatly damaged, pigeon meat is rich in nutrients can promote the recovery of patients, and can also help the wound heal, but it is important to pay attention to a balanced diet, eat pigeon meat at the same time as eat some other food.
Then the doctor continued: For cancer, these four types of hair are the real poison, if there is cancer or have suffered from cancer, you must avoid eating these four kinds of hair, otherwise cancer will come to the door again!
Animal liver, the cholesterol content in the liver is very high, after eating into the human body, these lipids will be absorbed into the blood through the absorption of the digestive tract, resulting in the occurrence of hyperlipidemia, and the complications of hyperlipidemia are very many, the most critical is to lead to atherosclerosis of the arteries, affecting the blood supply to the brain or heart, and cancer patients themselves are very weak, because of surgery or chemotherapy, more likely to be affected than ordinary people.
In addition, the liver is also a big burden on digestion due to the high fat content after cooking, and cancer patients are very affected by the side effects of chemotherapy, so the liver will further increase their digestive burden at this time, which will cause severe symptoms such as indigestion, and because the liver is a detoxification organ, it will also lead to the enrichment of toxins in the human body and endanger health.
Pickled foods, which contain processed nitrites, which are highly toxic carcinogens, can induce genetic mutations in normal cells and become malignant proliferating cells, thereby increasing the incidence of cancer, so avoiding pickled foods is key to protecting your health.
Alcohol, as a first-class carcinogen, alcohol is very harmful to the body, it can lead to damage and death of liver cells, leading to some serious lesions of the liver, such as liver cirrhosis, liver fibrosis, etc., and also may lead to liver cancer, and the liver is an important metabolic organ and detoxification organ, for cancer patients, liver damage is tantamount to worse, digestion is affected, resulting in more and more malnutrition of the body, and will also make the liver more susceptible to the toxic side effects of drugs.
Greasy food, the decomposition of lipids needs bile to participate in the decomposition, and the liver function after chemotherapy is seriously damaged, so it is difficult for the digestive tract to complete the decomposition and absorption process of these greasy foods, at this time the burden on the digestive system will increase, which will also lead to digestive disorders, and will also affect the normal metabolism of patients, so it is necessary to avoid overeating greasy.
