How to do when there are flies in the room?
Open the window and let them out? Trouble! If it does not want to fly out, it is really troublesome to drive it away.
Kill it? Yes, you can use a fly swatter to “pop” it. What if there are dozens or hundreds of flies instead of one? The method of beating is not good enough. Dong Qian, Department of Oncology, Guang’anmen Hospital, Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine
Spray insecticide! Yes, you can spray, “giggle” ~ ~ spray down, the flies will be poisoned, and the people in the room will also be poisoned!
Kill with rays? The same, the flies die, and the people in the room will be damaged.
These flies are like tumors in the human body (except that opening the windows these flies will not fly out by themselves!) The human body is like the house, and the organs and immune functions of the human body are like the people living in the house. The above methods of exterminating flies are similar to Western medicine’s tumor treatment: using flies to swat is like surgical treatment, and the tumor is cut down, so you can see and feel it, as if the tumor is cleared. But after a while, the fly eggs will hatch and the flies will still be buzzing around the room. Besides, if there are too many flies, thousands of them, it is very difficult to remove them, then the situation is just like a tumor has metastasized and is everywhere in the body. Then what to do? Chemotherapy, radiotherapy! Similar to spraying insecticide and irradiating with radiation in the room, it is difficult to exterminate the flies without reaching a certain concentration or a certain amount of radiation. But the problem is that although the flies are dead, the people in the room will be poisoned and the fly eggs may hatch again and the flies will lay eggs again.
If in real life, we find a constant stream of flies in the room, what else do we do but destroy them? Yes! See where the house is dirty and smelly, and what is attracting so many flies to the house? The first step is to look for them; the second step is to clean the house, clean up the dirt or see what is producing the dirt and fix it so that the cleaned room will not produce new garbage. If the house is clean and the outside of the house is clean, where will there be so many flies coming in? That’s a very simple principle, right? I believe we all agree!
So let’s take a look at the Chinese medicine treatment of tumor. The first thing that TCM doctors need to do is to look, smell, question and cut, in order to get detailed information, and on this basis to discriminate and treat, this thinking process is to find where the dirty things are hidden. Don’t underestimate this “finding”! There are flies in the living room, may be the kitchen garbage can trouble; bedroom full of flies, may be the bathroom is not clean, room ventilation and bad, the odor ran to the bedroom; dirty things may also be hiding in the nooks and crannies, not necessarily obvious …… So, “find” is the need for skills, to find the right, to know where to start cleaning. This is the process of “identification”. Well, if we identify the right evidence, find the right place where the dirt is, but also found the cause, then the next step is to clean up. It is possible to throw away the garbage and it will be fine, or you may need to unclog the drain to stop the dirt from spilling out, or you may have to modify the ventilation system of the room …… And so on, there is also a possibility that the people in the house is too lazy or bad hygiene habits, the fruits of labor can not be consolidated, clean and dirty again not long after, which will have to slowly educate and change the bad habits. Therefore, Chinese medicine treatment is sometimes like sweeping the floor and throwing away the garbage, which is very effective and gets rid of the disease; sometimes it may be like opening the sewer, which takes some effort; and sometimes it takes a lot of effort to change all the habits of the family before the problem of dirty things can be cured. Although Chinese medicine also has anti-tumor effect, that is to say, when cleaning, also beat flies, but compared to the western medicine surgery and radiation and chemotherapy, the effect of exterminating flies is not so fast. Therefore, we will see that when looking for dirty things and cleaning, the flies in the house are not yet reduced, and new flies may come in. Therefore, the integrated treatment of tumor becomes especially important! Combine surgery, radiation and chemotherapy with Chinese medicine treatment to eliminate as many flies as possible and as quickly as possible, and clean the room to eliminate the fly breeding environment.
Inside the room is clean, there is still a problem of the outside environment. If the outside environment is clean and tidy, there will be less flies, even if there is a bit of garbage in the room that has not been cleaned up yet, it will not attract a large number of flies. The external environment is similar to the person’s psychological state, life and work pressure, social interactions and relationships, family relations and so on, any aspect in a bad state, are similar to the house built on the dump, flies and mosquitoes, even if the house is clean, people are diligent, but also inevitably in the in and out of the time to bring in some flies and mosquitoes in. Therefore, our treatment should be dedicated to both eliminating tumor and inhibiting tumor recurrence and metastasis, but also actively carrying out rehabilitation treatment, learning the methods of rehabilitation so that tumor patients can have a good state of mind and learn benign ways of interaction and communication to help them restore social functions and establish good family relationships ……
I hope you can have a deeper understanding of tumor treatment from this simple analogy above. Don’t give up western medical treatment easily because of the immediate effect, and don’t rely too much on western medical treatment because there are many side effects and the treatment is hardly complete. Combination of Chinese and Western medicine is the best choice. Chinese medicine has more advantages in anti-recurrence and metastasis, and its efficacy is more solid. Patients, in addition to choosing appropriate medication, don’t forget the great influence of the external environment. Be sure to learn some recovery methods, clean up the trash outside, and work together to build our lovely home next to green grass and streams!
I sincerely wish tumor patients and their families to spread the concept of tumor rehabilitation together with our doctors, so that more patients and friends can live a more relaxed and valuable life because of rehabilitation!
