In today’s technology, in the era of universal attention to health, on the Internet access, oral handwritten way, there are a large number of health or cure “prescriptions”, “local recipes”, “secret recipes “. In some cases, “prescriptions” may have certain effects, but they should not be followed blindly. Due to the difference of body constitution, age, time and region, the same tumor treated with the same prescription may not get the same effect. Patients should not blindly follow other cancer patients’ ways of fighting cancer, but should learn from the optimistic, positive and broad-minded spirit of their role models in order to have greater treatment gains. However, there are some “partial prescriptions” that not only have no therapeutic effect, but also may have some toxic reactions. Many prescriptions are handed down by word of mouth, and in folklore, many drugs have the same name or different names, so there is a certain amount of error in the name, usage and dosage of the medicine. When taking prescriptions, attention should be paid to whether the drugs in the prescriptions have contraindications or side effects that increase toxicity. Some patients’ families blindly believe in “attacking poison with poison”, but “attacking poison with poison” in Chinese medicine is very much based on evidence-based treatment, and the composition and dosage of drugs must be done by highly experienced physicians, not by rigid application. In terms of treatment, patients should still focus on formal treatment and find a suitable anti-cancer plan for themselves under the guidance of professional doctors, so as not to give up in the middle of the treatment. If you want to try cancer patients’ “prescriptions”, you should consult a specialist before using them at your discretion.
