Cancer is an accumulation of obstruction and phlegm in the intestine. Western medicine uses “treating the disease and saving the life” to remove the disease from the enemy’s nest. This is called “treating the disease”; as for “saving the life”, it is very complicated and there is no good strategy yet. What’s more, “chemotherapy” and “radiotherapy” are needed to get rid of the evil, “it is advisable to chase the enemy”, the purpose is to kill the cancer cells, in order to eradicate. Although the starting point is good, it is not what we want, and we have violated the “false and real disadvantage”, the more deficient the positive energy is, the more evil it is, and the overall health of the patient is worried, the quality of life is reduced, and “saving people” is not ideal. Cancer cells come from mutation, what are the environment and conditions for mutation?
According to TCM, the internal causes of cancer cell mutation are the weakness of positive energy, depression of emotion, blood stasis, circulatory disorders and low immunity; the external causes are the natural environment, environmental quality and lifestyle. The combination of internal and external factors constitutes the environment and conditions for cancer cell mutation, which is the “root of the disease”. Tumor removal is called “cure”, but the “root of the disease” is not removed and recurrence is possible. Conventional chemotherapy/radiotherapy is used to remove the root of the disease and damage the righteousness, otherwise it is not safe, and is in a dilemma. Chinese medicine is “people-oriented, save people and cure the disease” and help the righteousness and eliminate the evil, and seek the root of the disease. The cause of the disease is the root, the mechanism of the disease is the symptom, and the symptoms are the symptoms. Emotional and moral stagnation, qi, blood, phlegm and stasis are the causes of the disease and the internal environment of cancer cell mutation; the result of the combination of coincidental and external causes is the root of the disease, which is the root of the tumor; the disease is the symptom of the tumor, cutting its symptom and leaving its root, can it not regenerate?
If chemotherapy and radiotherapy are used again and again to damage the right qi, the more deficient the right qi is, the more evil qi is, and the deficiency of qi, blood stasis and phlegm coagulation will be added. If we can cooperate with Chinese medicine to identify and treat the root of the disease, support the righteousness and dispel the evil, strengthen the spleen and cultivate the root, replenish the qi and activate the blood, so as to achieve the purpose of recovering the evil and curing the disease and saving the people, this will unify “curing the disease” and “saving the people”! If a tumor has become a tumor, surgery is the best strategy to remove the disease quickly, and the evidence-based treatment is the best strategy to remove the cause of the disease and consolidate its root, so that both the symptoms and the root can be balanced and the evil can be removed and restored.
I. Postoperative recuperation: awaken the spleen, harmonize the middle, and benefit the stomach.
Symptoms: 3-4 days after surgery, after ventilation, dry mouth and desire to drink, can eat and drink.

In Chinese medicine, the key is to regulate the spleen and stomach, and if it can be done properly, it can slow down its urgency, calm its symptoms and restore its normalcy. The most urgent ones are nausea, vomiting, anorexia and other reactions of the digestive tract. Gai spleen and stomach is the house of vital energy, the source of blood, all water and grain, gastric gas, the five organs, six bowels, limbs and bones are endowed with gas in the stomach, so it is called the day after the foundation. Its adverse reactions, first of all, the water and grain to cut off the source of transformation, the latter day of the book is destroyed. Therefore, it is urgent to regulate the spleen and stomach, in order to restore the lift, transport and transformation of the job. The spleen is healthy, the stomach and (moisten) is down. Rising, clear (spleen) gas up; descending, turbid (stomach) gas down, lifting and lowering out of duty, nausea, vomiting, fullness, anorexia for. Initially, the lung and stomach yin injury is urgent; for a long time, the vital energy is greatly deficient and the middle energy is not lifted; then the positive does not overcome the evil, and there are many changes in the evidence.

Explanation: The symptoms and mechanism of the obvious side effects of postoperative/chemotherapy/radiotherapy for cancer have already been described. According to this, this evidence is the evidence of great injury to vital energy, deficiency of spleen and loss of transportation, deficiency of qi and blood stasis.

Secondly, Yin is restored to weakness, the vital energy is greatly injured, and the spleen is deficient in transportation, which is basically recovered by greatly tonifying Qi and Blood.
Thirdly, to consolidate the root and prevent changes, we make full use of the idea of treating the disease before it occurs in Chinese medicine, replenish the qi and strengthen the spleen to consolidate the root and prevent changes; to replenish the qi and the blood to flourish the vitality; if necessary, to invigorate the blood and remove blood stasis to improve the circulation to break the root of the disease, which can prevent the recurrence of the disease before it occurs. This is the three-step procedure of Chinese medicine to regulate the spleen and stomach after cancer surgery/chemotherapy/radiotherapy, to support the righteousness and dispel the evil, and to prevent the disease before it happens. If it can be adjusted in time and used properly, it can not only improve the quality of survival, but also strengthen the body to avoid recurrence and metastasis and break its root. It truly realizes the concept of prevention that “if the righteousness exists within, the evil cannot dry up”.
