In the treatment of cancer, TCM should follow the treatment according to the time, place, and person, instead of blindly using Chinese medicine to cut down the tumor, there are some contraindications. The first taboo is not to use too much blood activation medicine. Blood activation and fatigue is one of the treatment methods for cancer tumors in Chinese medicine, but we must pay attention to its indications, if the tumor has not yet been removed, or there is indeed the sign of blood fatigue, and the patient’s body is still solid, only then can we use the products that promote the flow of qi and blood activation and fatigue. If the tumor has already been removed, or has metastasized in multiple places, and the patient has a weak constitution, the patient should try to use less blood-activating products. Long-term application of blood invigorating products may make the patient’s body even weaker and may activate cancer cells, which may cause accelerated metastasis or recurrence. Some of them may cause platelet reduction due to too much blood activation, which may lead to blood loss such as vomiting, coughing up blood, urinating blood and defecating blood. There are many kinds of Chinese medicines for cancer treatment, such as detoxification of heat, activation of blood circulation and blood stasis, softening of hardness and dispersion of knots, resolving phlegm and dampness, regulating qi and blood, etc. The method of attacking toxins with toxins should be based on the following principles The method of attacking poison with poison depends on the condition, location, duration of the disease and the strength of the body to decide what kind of medicine to use. Seriously, I heard that some cancer patients have mistakenly taken “prescriptions” and highly toxic Chinese medicines, which led to their untimely death. If you have already done the surgery and all the tumor lesions in your body have been removed, it is not advisable to use this method, but it is more secure to use the treatment such as purging heat and detoxification. The third taboo is to avoid diarrhea and attacking too fierce. Cancer is a systemic consumption disease. In the process of growth and reproduction, cancer cells consume a lot of energy and nutrients in the body, resulting in internal emptiness and a series of nutritional disorders and metabolic disorders. At this time, the treatment should be mainly to support the righteousness and supplement with the elimination of the evil, and never to use laxative medicine to attack too much. If a large number of laxatives are used to attack too much, the patient’s physique will be weaker, the righteousness will be greatly injured, and the immune function and resistance will drop sharply, especially for post-surgical patients, once they collapse, it will be difficult to recover their vitality, which will undoubtedly cause the end of “adding insult to injury”. Fourthly, avoid improper use of tonic medicine. Due to the consumption caused by cancer, the patient shows the deficiency of the corresponding organs and the decline of the whole body constitution. At this time, doctors and family members will tell patients to strengthen nutrition and pay attention to rest. However, some patients, due to lack of common sense, blindly take some tonic medicines, such as ginseng, antler, placenta, royal jelly, etc., which not only do not work well, but also aggravate the disease, the key reason for which is that they are not allopathic. Because the Chinese medicine tonic medicine is clinically divided into four categories: tonic gas, tonic blood, tonic yin, tonic yang. There are also differences between cold, hot, warm and cold in the nature of the medicine. In terms of specific treatment, there are also differences between tonic for the heart, spleen, lung, liver and kidney. Therefore, according to the patient’s specific degree of deficiency and the condition of the internal organs to target the use of drugs. If you do not distinguish, a gas indiscriminately, not only can not play the purpose of the deficiency support, but also will aggravate the disease. For example, some patients have Yin deficiency and internal heat, and as a result, they take too much ginseng and deer antler, causing dry throat and tongue, bleeding nose and mouth, and blistered lips, which is simply “pouring oil on the fire”. Tonic and health products should not be abused, but must be targeted. Note that in addition to the needs of the disease, generally in the summer should be less tonic, winter can be appropriate tonic, bear in mind this principle. The fifth taboo is to avoid laxity in diet or medication. Chinese medicine emphasizes taboos in cancer treatment. In general, we should pay attention to avoid the continued use of tumorigenic factors, that is to say, don’t add oil to the fire, such as eating too much fat, and the coagulation of phlegm and dampness due to fat, sweet and thick taste, which can lead to The development or recurrence of rectal cancer and breast cancer. In addition, certain diseases need to avoid some food, such as boils, spicy food, edema patients, oily food, hot food, cold disease, cold fruits and melons, cancer patients should also avoid eating fatty meat, fried food, hard to digest food, such as oral cancer, tongue cancer, sore throat, esophageal cancer and stomach cancer. Special attention should be paid to avoid smoking, alcohol and spicy products during the medication period. The tumor patients who like to eat soybean products should pay attention to the fact that soybean products can reduce the performance of traditional Chinese medicine, so when eating soybean products (especially soybeans, tofu, dried tofu, etc.) vegetables, it is better to take medicine about one hour apart from them. The sixth taboo is not to conceal the disease and not to cooperate with the medication. Once a cancer patient is diagnosed, the doctor or family should strategically inform him/her in order to cooperate with the treatment. Especially, Chinese medicine emphasizes the treatment means of looking, smelling, asking and cutting, so it is not good to see the patient, but it is not good to see the patient without talking through the precautions, and it is not good for psychological and spiritual treatment. Therefore, concealing the disease is a major obstacle in treatment. Cancer is not a disease that can be cured by taking a few Chinese medicines, but requires long-term treatment process. Once patients feel that the effect is not obvious in the short term, they will naturally become suspicious and even refuse treatment or request to change hospitals, doctors and medicines, etc. This will miss the best time for treatment and is quite unfavorable to the prognosis. The seventh taboo is to avoid disrespecting the medical advice and stopping the medicine at will. Cancer treatment should not be taken as it is. Many cancer patients have been actively treated at the beginning of the disease, and they have been approved to spend as much money as possible, such as surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, etc. When the cancer tumor is removed or the lesion recedes after radiotherapy or chemotherapy, they think that everything is fine and do not want to continue the medicine, so that the consolidation treatment does not keep up, resulting in the recurrence and metastasis of the tumor. The reason is that these patients are confused by the illusion of “cancer foci have disappeared”, do not understand the mechanism of cancer formation and its etiology, and naively believe that such diseases can be solved by injections and medication, just like colds and pneumonia. Or they may understand some medical terms one-sidedly, such as “radical surgery for such-and-such cancer”, “clinical cure” and so on, not knowing that “radical surgery” is not a cure, but just an expansion of the scope of surgery. If you want to see a Chinese medicine doctor, you should find a specialist who has experience in treating tumors, rather than looking for a so-called “doctor” who can prescribe medicine for everything and delay yourself. As a matter of fact, there are many patients who have aggravated their disease due to the indiscriminate use and abuse of Chinese medicine, which is a painful lesson.
