Tumor starvation therapy Some people say “tumor patients can’t eat nutritious things so as to starve tumor cells to death”. When a malignant tumor grows to more than 2mm3 in the body, it must form its own vascular network to deliver the needed nutrition, otherwise the tumor cannot continue to grow. If we can inhibit the blood supplying vessels of tumor and block the nutrition supply of tumor, it is undoubtedly a fatal blow to tumor cells. This treatment method mainly aims at inhibiting the proliferation of tumor blood vessels, so that tumor cells cannot get effective nutrient supply and thus kill tumor cells, so it is called “tumor starvation therapy”. Therefore, “tumor starvation therapy” refers to blocking the blood supply of tumors, but not the so-called total blocking of nutrition of patients. The idea of “cancer patients eat well, tumors will also benefit and grow faster” is wrong. Malignant tumor patients are in a high metabolic state, so it is very important to supplement nutrition, otherwise their consumption will increase and cause malnutrition, and the adverse effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy are often more than those of patients with good nutrition. Therefore, the nutritional status of patients is the basis for overcoming the disease, and nutritional treatment is an important part of anti-cancer treatment, so nutritional treatment should be carried out throughout the whole process of disease treatment. “Many effective prescriptions are indeed recognized and summarized in treatment practice. It should be admitted that there are many single prescriptions, partial prescriptions and experimental prescriptions for the treatment of tumors circulating among the people, and most of these prescriptions have their certain clinical practice basis. However, the prescriptions should not be taken casually. Even the same disease is divided into many types in Chinese medicine, and each type has its own treatment method, which is called different treatment for the same disease. In addition, each person’s physique, accompanied by other symptoms are different, or accompanied by other diseases, even if the same disease, the use of medicine is different, Chinese medicine pay attention to the individual to suit. When different diseases have the same symptoms, sometimes the same medicine is used, which is called “different diseases with the same treatment”. Therefore, TCM treatment is very complicated, and people in general do not have the ability to identify and treat themselves, so the use of prescriptions is mostly unsuccessful.
