Cancer patients recommend a good treatment for liver cancer

Cancer patients recommend:

I am a patient with advanced liver cancer. I was once sentenced by doctors to have only a few months to live. By chance, I found a folk prescription: 100 grams of Hedyotis diffusa, 200 grams of Agrimoniae, 30 grams of Sophora flavescens, 20 grams of Polygonum cuspidatum, 5 grams each of Curcuma zedoaria and Curcuma aromatica, 16 grams of Asparagus cochinchinensis, 10 grams each of Pinellia ternata, Schisandra chinensis, Licorice, Ligustrum lucidum, and Scrophularia ningpoensis. Patients with metastasis can add 12 grams of Platycodon grandiflorum. One dose of medicine can be used for 3 days, 3 times a day. Avoid smoking, drinking and spicy food when taking it. One month is a course of treatment. I took the medicine for 2 months and had unexpected results. First, the ascites of the liver was reduced, second, I had an appetite, and third, I could get out of bed and do slight activities. The medicine is economical and affordable, and each dose costs about 10 yuan.

Expert Comments:

Pu Zhaohe, associate researcher at Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, commented: According to traditional Chinese medicine, patients with advanced liver cancer often present a situation of "the vital energy has been damaged, but the evil toxins are still strong". As the liver qi is stagnant for a long time, it is easy to turn into fire and damage the yin. Advanced liver cancer often presents with liver yin deficiency. "Detoxification, blood circulation, nourishing yin and strengthening the body" is one of the common methods of traditional Chinese medicine to treat advanced liver cancer.

White flower snake tongue grass can clear away heat and detoxify, promote diuresis and reduce swelling, promote blood circulation and relieve pain. The stigmasterol contained in it can inhibit the growth of liver cancer cells; Herba Agrimoniae can clear away heat and detoxify, stop bleeding and relieve pain, and has obvious anti-cancer and cancer pain relief effects. White flower snake grass and Herba Agrimoniae are the main drugs in the prescription. Sophora flavescens can clear away heat and dampness, promote diuresis and disperse knots, and matrine can significantly inhibit the proliferation of liver cancer cells and promote their apoptosis; Schisandra chinensis can calm the mind and soothe the nerves, invigorate qi and promote fluid production, and also protect the liver and enhance the efficacy of anticancer drugs; Curcuma zedoaria can promote qi, break blood, eliminate accumulation and relieve pain, and the volatile oil contained in it can inhibit the growth of liver cancer cells; Curcuma zedoaria can soothe the liver and regulate qi, cool blood and break blood stasis; Scrophulariae ningpoensis and Asparagus cochinchinensis both have the effects of promoting fluid production, nourishing yin and detoxification, and Asparagus cochinchinensis also has an inhibitory effect on cancer cells; Pinellia ternata can soothe the stomach and stop vomiting, eliminate accumulation and soften hard masses; Licorice can detoxify and harmonize the various drugs.

The above has the effects of detoxification, promoting blood circulation, soothing the liver and relieving pain, and nourishing yin, which helps to improve the body's resistance and inhibit the growth of cancer cells. It has a certain symptom relief effect on patients with yin deficiency liver cancer (mainly manifested by fever, flank pain, dry mouth and throat, dizziness, tinnitus, weight loss, abdominal distension, red tongue with little coating, and weak pulse, etc.). However, liver cancer is a complicated condition, and patients are best to take the medicine under the guidance of a doctor.
