With the improvement of people's health awareness and the advancement of medical level, the detection rate of tumors is getting higher and higher. Hearing the word "cancer", many people's first reaction is to do surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and take targeted drugs. However, the role of Chinese medicine is ignored.
In the impression of many people, especially young people, Chinese medicine can only treat chronic diseases and treat minor diseases, and for major diseases such as cancer, it can only rely on Western medicine.
Many people think that Chinese medicine does not have the word tumor, in fact, it is not, the method of cancer prevention and treatment in Chinese medicine originated in the pre-Qin era, in fact, as early as the Yin Xu oracle bone in the Yin Shang era, there is a record of the name of the disease about "tumor".
The Jin, Tang and Ming dynasties were the further development stages of traditional Chinese medicine's cancer prevention and treatment system, and the Song Dynasty's "Book of Wei Jibao" first appeared in the record of "cancer". In the treatises of this period, we can see the specific clinical manifestations of various cancers.
<h1>TCM's understanding of the pathogenesis of cancer</h1>
In terms of cancer incidence, Chinese medicine believes that it is mostly related to "false" and "toxic", followed by "stasis" and "phlegm".
1. Righteousness is deficient
Righteous qi refers to the physiological function of the human body, and relative to disease and evil, it refers to the ability to resist disease and recover. It is produced by the comprehensive action of the human body's internal organ meridians, qi, blood, and fluid, and physiological activities. The formation of righteous qi deficiency is caused by insufficient innate endowment and acquired loss of nourishment.
The loss of righteous qi also has a certain relationship with age, the older the age, the more the loss of righteous qi, the weaker the function of meridian organs, the higher the incidence of cancer.
2. Emotional disorders
In the theory of Chinese medicine, the spiritual and emotional activities of the human body are divided into seven kinds: joy, anger, worry, thought, sorrow, fear, and alarm, which are called the seven emotions.
Long-term mental stimulation or sudden severe mental trauma, beyond the normal range of physiological activities can regulate, can cause the human body's yin and yang qi and blood, internal organs meridian dysfunction, and lead to disease.
3. External evil factors
It refers to the six kinds of external diseases and evils of wind evil, cold evil, summer evil, wet evil, dry evil and fire evil. The six evils invade the human body, visit the meridians, disturb the qi and blood, make the yin and yang disorder, the qi and blood are reversed, and the accumulation of time becomes a lump, or a polyp, or a vicious core, or a gangrene, a tumor, etc., hard as a stone, and if it does not disappear for a long time, it becomes cancer.
4. No internal or external causes
(1) Dietary injuries
(2) Loss of work and leisure
(3) Age factor
<h1>The concept of Traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of cancer - to correct the evil and dispel evil, with the treatment of evidence</h1>
1. Keep straightening out
From beginning to end, the treatment should adjust the positive qi, cultivate the benyuan, so that the patient can improve the resistance to the disease, and at different stages of the disease, the degree of medication is slightly more serious.
Fuzheng's commonly used prescription medicines are ginseng, astragalus, baishu, poria, ripe ground yellow, yam, dogwood, pigweed, raw coix seed, gynostemma blue and so on.
2. Attack evil in a timely manner
Timely use of traditional Chinese medicine anti-cancer drugs, refers to the patient's chemotherapy or radiotherapy, the doctor uses more evil, this time Chinese medicine should use less anti-cancer drugs, and when the chemotherapy ends for a period of time, during the recovery period, you can use more anti-cancer Chinese medicine at the right time. Commonly used remedies for attacking evil include cat ginseng, horse chestnut flower, white flower snake tongue grass, white grass root, half-sided lotus, white quartz, welling fairy, dandelion and so on.
3. Follow-up treatment
In the process of tumor treatment, due to the severity of symptoms, the length of the disease, as well as differences in age and sex, different dietary environments, the symptoms are not the same. If there is pain, fever, bleeding and other symptoms, it is necessary to add or subtract some drugs with the evidence, such as antipyretic, analgesic, hemostasis, etc.; if the appetite is not open or even vomiting after chemotherapy, it is necessary to use drugs for symptoms to eliminate appetizer, regulate and camp, relieve fever and analgesia, reduce swelling and diuresis, etc.
<h1>Advantages of integrative medicine</h1>
1. The combination of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine is conducive to the early diagnosis of tumors
2. Integrated traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine to prevent and treat precancerous lesions
3. The combination of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine improves the efficacy and reduces toxic side effects
4. Since ancient times, Chinese medicine has had the therapeutic principle of "dispelling evil without harming the right, and supporting the right without leaving evil"
In the treatment process of tumors, it is also necessary to combine anti-cancer (exorcism) with positive organic combination, especially for those tumor patients who cannot be surgically removed, after completing the established chemotherapy cycle, modern medicine applies anti-cancer drugs to maintain treatment for some tumors to achieve the purpose of long-term tumor survival.
