Eating bitter almonds to fight cancer? She was poisoned to death! Be careful not to use these folk remedies indiscriminately

In November this year, Ms. Wang from Changshu, Jiangsu, who had been fighting lung cancer, learned this information from a friend and started taking large amounts of it as a diet therapy to fight cancer. Unexpectedly, not long after, Ms. Wang suddenly felt unwell and was rushed to the hospital for treatment, but ultimately died due to failed rescue efforts. Afterwards, it was diagnosed that Ms. Wang died of sudden acute liver failure, the cause of which was liver poisoning caused by eating a large amount of almonds. Ms. Wang's cancer cells have not metastasized. The doctor said that in her condition, she can still survive for at least 5 years...

Almonds contain anti-tumor substances, but also highly toxic substances

There are two types of almonds. One is sweet almond, also called southern almond. It is non-toxic and mostly used for food. It has the effects of moistening the lungs, relieving coughs, and lubricating the intestines. It has a certain effect on alleviating dry coughs without phlegm, long-term coughs due to lung deficiency, etc., and can be eaten with confidence.

There is also a kind called bitter almond, also called northern almond, which has a bitter taste and is mostly used as medicine. It has the effect of moistening the lungs and relieving asthma. It is effective for symptoms such as phlegm, cough, and asthma caused by colds.

The anti-tumor effect of almonds is mainly due to the fact that bitter almonds contain a biologically active substance - amygdalin, which can enter the blood and specifically kill cancer cells while having no effect on healthy cells. Therefore, it can improve the symptoms of advanced cancer patients and prolong their survival. At the same time, because it is rich in carotene, it can resist oxidation, prevent free radicals from attacking cells, and has the effect of preventing tumors!

Ginkgo biloba, also known as white fruit, is commonly used for arteriosclerosis and hypertension, and the effect is also good

But it is also slightly toxic, mainly ginkgolic acid and ginkgol. Adequate heating can reduce its toxicity. However, it is still not advisable to eat too much. There have been reports of children being poisoned after eating less than 10 raw ginkgo nuts. Severe ginkgo poisoning can also lead to death.

Wolfberry is one of them.

Lycium barbarum has the effects of nourishing the liver and kidneys, improving eyesight, and replenishing essence and blood. We often see people making tea with wolfberries, thinking that wolfberries are sweet and mild in nature and suitable for people of all ages. In fact, this is not the case. Some people who are weak, have poor stomachs, and are prone to loose bowels and diarrhea are not suitable for eating wolfberries, as frequent consumption will aggravate their symptoms.

Donkey-hide gelatin, after entering the coldest days of winter, women often eat donkey-hide gelatin or donkey-hide gelatin products.

Indeed, as a traditional Chinese health food, donkey-hide gelatin can promote the growth of hemoglobin and red blood cells, improve immunity, promote calcium absorption and restore normal blood pressure levels in patients with hypotension. However, if you have a weak spleen and stomach, indigestion, or a cold, you must use it with caution. There have been cases where patients with hypertension experienced a sudden rise in blood pressure after consuming donkey-hide gelatin.

Broad beans - often overlooked, especially the tender spring beans

In the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, fresh spring broad beans are often treated as seasonal delicacies because of their delicious taste and very short time on the market. However, some people are allergic to fresh broad beans, and eating them will cause "broad bean yellow disease".

Fresh broad beans are a "time bomb" for diabetic patients. Because fresh broad beans contain more carbohydrates, their glycemic index is very high. However, people often regard it as an ordinary vegetable and ignore its harm to diabetic patients. Someone was sent to the hospital because his blood sugar level soared to 20 after eating too much fresh broad beans.

When facing a minor cold or cough, many people will buy Sterculia lychnophora to drink.

In this regard, experts remind that patients should use Chinese herbal medicines under the guidance of experts. Chinese herbal medicines such as Sterculia lychnophora have low toxicity, and long-term drinking will put a burden on the liver and kidneys. Therefore, it is not suitable to drink it as a health drink for a long time.

Aloe Vera

In daily life, in order to quickly relieve the symptoms of difficulty in defecation, many constipation patients like to take fruit laxative tablets (phenolphthalein tablets), aloe vera, etc. Doctors say that although these things can quickly relieve the symptoms of difficulty in defecation, they will disrupt the body's functions in the long run, so do not take them unless you have acute constipation. In addition, although aloe vera is a type of traditional Chinese medicine, it has strong medicinal properties and is highly irritating to the patient's gastrointestinal tract. Doctors are very cautious when using it. Patients must not blindly believe that all plants are healthy and buy them to eat based on advertisements.
