Patients with advanced lung cancer should not drink alcohol

The patient is a 45-year-old male with advanced lung cancer. The tumor has spread and he is currently taking bone-preserving medication. Can I drink alcohol now?

It is best for patients with advanced cancer not to drink alcohol. There is a saying that "cancer comes from the mouth". Studies have shown that many cancers are related to bad eating habits: eating too fast, eating hot food, liking to eat pickled, smoked, and grilled food, loving to eat fatty and pickled food, smoking, drinking too much, eating unclean food, etc. can all induce cancer.

A very scary data shows that if men drink 21 to 41 glasses of beer per week, their risk of lung cancer will increase by 23%. If the consumption of beer or other alcoholic beverages, but not wine, exceeds 41 glasses, their risk of lung cancer will increase by 57%.

Even in the late stage of cancer, active treatment is required. Bone preservation drugs, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and surgery cannot achieve a fundamental cure for patients with advanced cancer. On the contrary, they will cause many side effects and even death due to complications caused by excessive radiotherapy, chemotherapy and surgery! It is recommended that patients in the late stage take TCM treatment alone or with the help of Western medicine, and treat the disease based on syndrome differentiation to obtain more targeted therapeutic effects.

Don’t forget that the most important measures in anti-cancer treatment are to eat a reasonable diet, exercise moderately, and maintain good living habits! Only in this way can the condition be effectively stabilized.
