Chronic disease: slow to occur and slow to heal. Slow onset: It usually takes 10-20 years or even longer to evolve from normal cells to cancer cells and then to form a 1cm sized tumor. Slow to heal: From the time of detection, it takes years, decades, or even longer to treat. Strategy for chronic disease: not for quick effect, but for long-term stability. The reason why tumors are formed is because “the positive qi is insufficient and the evil qi takes advantage of the deficiency to enter” and “the accumulation of the tumor is also the result”. Zheng qi: includes qi, blood, yin and yang. Insufficient positive qi is weakness, whether it is overall weakness or weakness of a certain internal organ, it is a prerequisite for the formation and development of tumor. Evil qi: all pathogenic factors. 1. Long-term fatigue 2. Long-term depressed mood and excessive mental stress 3. Long-term excessive diet: fat, sweet and delicious, food additives, 4. Long-term excessive smoking and alcohol. 5. Insufficient positive qi, evil qi take advantage of the deficiency 6. Long-term: Qi stagnation, phlegm coagulation, blood stasis, heat toxicity. Accumulation block formation. Tumor is a local manifestation of systemic disease. Chinese medicine treatment has a long cultural background and deep ethnic foundation in China. Therefore, the theoretical system and treatment methods formed have their own characteristics. In the treatment of tumors, TCM treatment is also very different from Western medicine treatment. Many of the advantages of TCM in the treatment of tumors are also the shortcomings of Western medicine. Characteristics and advantages of TCM treatment for tumors 1. Holistic view. Human being is the organic whole, the unity of human being and natural environment, the unity of human being and society. 2. Doctrine of positive and evil. TCM believes that the formation and development of tumor is summarized as the change of the relationship between positive and evil. Evil: bad mental stimulation, qi stagnation, blood stasis, heat toxicity, dampness, phlegm condensation, etc. Positive: refers to the positive energy of human body. If the positive energy is insufficient, the evil energy will take advantage of the weakness and enter. From the perspective of prevention, people should always pay attention to protecting and nurturing the positive energy, as the saying goes, “If the positive energy exists inside, the evil cannot dry up”. From the perspective of treatment, that is, “support the righteousness and eliminate the evil”. The struggle between good and evil determines the prognosis of tumor regression. If the positive energy is gradually restored and the evil energy is gradually weakened, the disease will improve and the prognosis is good. On the contrary, the condition will deteriorate and the prognosis will be poor. 3. Discriminative treatment: Look, smell, ask, and cut. Externally speculate internally. Individualized prescription. Chinese medicine is more focused on relieving symptoms, and from another perspective, it is more focused on the patient’s own feeling. This advantage of TCM has been fully reflected in the treatment of tumors, and can make up for the shortcomings of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Long-term treatment with TCM after surgery can prevent recurrence and metastasis. It can not only reduce the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, but also strengthen the effect of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. 5. It does not affect the labor force. While the local condition of cancer patients improves, the whole body condition also improves, and they can even be able to perform their daily work. 6.Less side effects. There is no side effect of bone marrow suppression and no serious effect on the digestive tract. 7. Economically cheaper. The role of TCM in the treatment of tumor in four stages 1.Tumor suspicion stage: If it is malignant, the anti-tumor treatment of TCM just produces inhibitory effect on malignant tumor cells; if it is benign, the treatment during this period can also play the role of prevention and treatment. 2.Surgical period: If the patient chooses surgery, Chinese medicine can reduce the spread of tumor cells before and after surgery while regulating the organism. 3.Late radiotherapy and chemotherapy: it is most suitable for Chinese medicine treatment to adjust and solve the toxic side effects after radiotherapy as a whole, which increases the effect of radiotherapy and prolongs the survival period. 4.Middle and late stage: these patients have lost the time for surgery, and even no longer have indications for radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Western medicine mostly gives up treatment. This is not the case with TCM. Since these patients have not experienced the blows and disturbances of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the natural treatment with pure TCM often works wonders. For most patients, TCM treatment does enable them to alleviate their pain, prolong their lives and survive with tumors for a long time.
