"Seeking medical treatment at random" reflects the urgency of patients and their families. Most patients are eager to remove the tumor after discovering it. Surgery is of course the first choice for an immediate solution. As long as it can be removed, they will not hesitate to remove part of the liver or lung; or they can take the method of surgery-chemotherapy-radiotherapy to treat one by one. In short, they try every possible way to remove the tumor as soon as possible. For the vast majority of patients, only when the disease is in the late stage and Western medicine treatment can hardly achieve the ideal effect, do patients and their families think of trying Chinese medicine treatment. In fact, this is a misunderstanding of Chinese medicine treatment of tumors. In tumor treatment, Chinese medicine should be used throughout and participate in the whole process. Do not wait until the late stage of the tumor, when the patient's body and organs have been severely damaged, to seek Chinese medicine treatment. The earlier the tumor is treated with Chinese medicine, the better. Surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy can easily damage your vitality Surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and other treatment methods are all aimed at eliminating tumors or reducing tumor load. Although they can alleviate the condition to a certain extent, the toxic side effects cannot be ignored. Surgery and radiotherapy will damage the body's vitality. Chemotherapy is even more "indiscriminate between friend and foe". While killing tumor cells, it also kills normal cells in the body. In many cases, even if the tumor is controlled and reduced in the near term, it is difficult to achieve satisfactory long-term efficacy because the treatment itself has greatly damaged the body's resistance (positive energy). Western medicine radiotherapy, Chinese medicine improvement Radiation damage is considered by traditional Chinese medicine to be caused by heat toxicity and yin fluid depletion. The use of Chinese medicines that clear away heat and detoxify, nourish yin and promote the production of body fluids, such as American ginseng, raw earth, white flower snake tongue grass, and Scutellaria barbata, can reduce the damage caused by radiotherapy, that is, play a detoxification role; and the addition of Chinese medicines that invigorate the spleen and regulate qi can also enhance the efficacy of radiotherapy, that is, play a sensitizing or synergistic role in radiotherapy. Similarly, Chinese medicine has a significant synergistic and detoxifying effect on chemotherapy, and can significantly prolong survival compared with chemotherapy alone. Taking Chinese medicine during chemotherapy can reduce the adverse reactions of chemotherapy. For example, digestive tract reactions are often treated with drugs that mainly invigorate the spleen and stomach, invigorate qi and strengthen the body; during the interval of chemotherapy, by nourishing the spleen and stomach, the patient's physical condition can be improved, the bone marrow hematopoietic function can be improved, and preparations can be made for the next chemotherapy; taking Chinese medicine after chemotherapy is mainly to improve the long-term efficacy and reduce recurrence and metastasis. Combination of Chinese and Western Medicine For cancer patients who are not suitable for surgery, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy, Chinese medicine is used as the main treatment method. Its purpose is to control the tumor as much as possible, while improving symptoms and improving the quality of life. For some terminal cancer patients, the main purpose of using Chinese medicine is to relieve symptoms. In addition, Chinese medicine can also be combined with immunotherapy. Many Chinese medicines themselves have the function of improving immunity. When used in combination with immune preparations, it can significantly improve the efficacy. |
