I can hear the voice of Chinese medicine

Chapter 141 It’s better to fight with cancer than to fight with it

Kidney cancer recurs and metastasizes to bones after surgery, and there is no chance of reoperation.

When bone metastasis has already occurred, the chance of reoperation is basically gone.

Moreover, the method of Western medicine is basically to use drugs or chemotherapy for control, which can easily accelerate the passage of life of cancer patients.

Thinking of this, Lu Xuan groaned and said: "I can't say how long it can be extended. It depends on the subsequent treatment effect. The concepts of Chinese medicine and Western medicine are different. When treating cancer, Chinese medicine generally advocates that patients survive with cancer, that is, using Chinese medicine To control the spread of cancer cells and reduce the pain caused by cancer to patients.

When talking about the methods of traditional Chinese medicine to control cancer, we have to mention the origin of cancer.

The formation of cancer originates from the malignant transformation of a single cell. Such cells do not obey the normal regulation of the body, behave autonomously, and are irreversible.

Western medicine has always focused on “eliminating all cancer cells” in treating cancer, with radical surgery, high-dose radiotherapy, and chemotherapy as the main treatments.

The traditional approach to cancer treatment focuses too much on a complete cure and uses drugs to "bomb" tumor cells. Sometimes they are not confident about radical surgery, and may have to expand the scope of radical treatment to prevent cancer cells from spreading to other places.

The invasion of the disease and the huge medical trauma have severely damaged the patient's vitality.

However, as early as the 20s, the World Health Organization proposed the "one-third" conclusion for cancer treatment, that is: one-third of tumors can be cured, one-third of cancer patients can survive with the cancer, and one-third of cancer patients Patients can actually prolong their lives, which is similar to the concept of traditional Chinese medicine. "

At this point, Lu Xuan paused and continued: "With the deepening of cancer research, especially the new understanding of the concept of malignant tumors, the principles of Western medicine in treating cancer have also undergone major changes, and they have begun to pay attention to the body's The overall condition is the most important, as it determines the host's final fate.

The natural growth rate of cancer is variable, and effective treatment does not require complete tumor regression.

In fact, in adults, that is, in our bodies, there are more or less tumors.Just because most of them have not been discovered or diagnosed as "cancer", it can be said that we are all in a state of unconsciously "living with cancer". "

Yu Xiaowan's expression was startled, obviously she was frightened by Lu Xuan's remarks.

In this era when talking about cancer, Lu Xuan also said that in fact, the vast majority of people are in a state of living with cancer. For an ordinary person like Xiaowan, this is extremely shocking, and her face can't help but change. The changes were a bit ugly, and there was even a hint of worry in his eyes.

Especially when her father Yu Yunxing is a cancer patient, one wonders how much impact Lu Xuan's words will have on Xiaowan.

Not only Yu Xiaowan, but also Ji Xiuwen and Su Kenan couldn't help but take a breath after hearing Lu Xuan's words, feeling a little shocked.

"Doesn't this mean that we may all be living with tumors?" Ji Xiuwen took a deep breath and couldn't help but ask.

"you can say it this way."

Lu Xuan explained: "There are tens of trillions of cells in the human body, and the division of these cells in our body is happening all the time. When cells divide, there will always be one or two cells that undergo some mutations and move toward the human body. Uncontrollable changes in direction, and almost most of these changes will be discovered and eliminated by the human immune system.

But there are also some cases where this mutation will escape the elimination of the human immune system and survive. However, most of the mutations here are actually lesions of conscience and do not affect our lives, so it does not need to be too much. Too worried,"

Ji Xiuwen nodded.

Yu Xiaowan's complexion also improved a lot.

Lu Xuan glanced at the three of them and said: "Let's go back to the matter of living with cancer. It may be a blessing for these patients who are actually "living with cancer" without being discovered, because for the thyroid For patients with cancer, prostate cancer, and breast cancer, the cancer is originally in a relatively static state, and whether it is treated or not does not actually affect the patient's quality of life.

But if they are accidentally discovered during a physical examination, surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy are hastily performed in a panic, with the prognosis unknown.

The concept of "survival with tumors" now means that after treatment, the patient's body and the tumor are in a state of relative balance, that is, the tumor cells are in a "quiescent" or "dormant" state for a certain period of time, while the body still has the ability to respond to the cancer. With a certain degree of immunity, the patient is generally in good condition and can even work and live independently. The condition is stable and tends to improve within a certain period of time.

Western medicine's understanding and treatment principles of tumors are undoubtedly close to those of traditional Chinese medicine. This proves that the concept of "survival with tumors" is more in line with the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, that is, from the local view of western medicine to the holistic view of traditional Chinese medicine. That is, the combination of strengthening the body and dispelling evil, or combining "attack" and "toning", so that the patient and cancer can coexist for a long time.

This is the true attitude towards cancer, rather than adopting extreme treatment methods once cancer is discovered. In this way, not only will the disease not be cured, but the patient may also be severely damaged due to various treatment methods.

Speaking of this, I have to say that Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine have finally reached a consensus on the treatment of cancer. In other words, Western medicine is changing to the concept of traditional Chinese medicine, which is to regard cancer as a chronic disease and treat cancer as a protracted battle.

Don't push patients into percussive therapy easily. You can try various anti-cancer treatments that are effective but not harmful to the body. "It doesn't matter whether it's a black cat or a white cat, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat." Don't seek quick solutions or pursue so-called "thorough treatment". Therefore, for traditional Chinese medicine, the treatment principle is "to be patient with the cancer, not to fight with it."

If it can be cured, do not hesitate to use radical treatment methods.For those that cannot be cured, it is recommended to adopt the treatment idea of ​​surviving with the tumor, with the purpose of prolonging life and improving the quality of life. "

Hearing this, Yu Xiaowan's face gradually returned to normal, and she said with a smile: "Dr. Lu, you just said that each of us is living with tumors. It really scared me. But if you think about it carefully, Think, that is indeed what happened.

You are right, surviving with the tumor may be the best option.

If I had known you were so powerful, I should have brought my dad to see you two years ago. "

Lu Xuan looked dumbfounded. He was still in school two years ago.

However, Lu Xuan did not mention this, but thought for a while and said: "It cannot be said that Western medicine methods are completely undesirable. Everyone has their own ideas. Some diseases can be cured by Western medicine, but Chinese medicine may not be able to cure some diseases. Western medicine is helpless about the disease, but Chinese medicine can achieve good results and even cure it.

Especially in terms of surgery, even though Chinese medicine also has surgery, it is still far inferior to Western medicine. "

After speaking, Lu Xuan did not explain much, but looked at Yu Yunxing: "Uncle Yu, let me check your pulse first."

"it is good."

After listening to what Lu Xuan said, Yu Yunxing seemed to have a little more confidence at the moment, and he was full of energy when talking and laughing.

In the fight against cancer, a good mood is also a magic weapon, and may even be the key to success.

Many cancer patients are actually not defeated by cancer cells, but scared to death by themselves.Once I learned that I had cancer, I was basically scared to the core. I was depressed every day and felt that I had only a few days to live. No matter how much medicine I took, it would not save me.

Yu Yunxing put his wrist on the pulse diagnosis, and Lu Xuan reached out to touch the other person's pulse. At the same time, he looked at Yu Yunxing's tongue, and then felt it quietly.

After a while, Lu Xuan took his hand back and recorded the results of this diagnosis in Yu Yunxing's medical record.

The patient's kidney cancer recurred after surgery, with bone metastasis and no chance of reoperation. He suffered from stomach pain, fatigue, weakness in the waist and knees, pale tongue, less coating, and a thin and weak pulse.

Diagnosed as nephrosis, the syndrome was deficiency of both the spleen and kidney and insufficient qi and blood.

Treatment should be to replenish the spleen and kidneys, regulate qi and relieve pain.

Prescription: Raw Astragalus, Codonopsis, Cuscuta, Eucommia, Polygonum multiflorum, Lycium barbarum, Polygonatum, Loranth, Achyranthes root, Sichuan root, Shayuanzi, Zhigancao, Raw Rehmannia glutinosa, Rehmannia glutinosa, Poria, raw coix seed, Nine-spice insect, Corydalis chinensis. , psoralen.

A total of 15 doses, decoction in water, 1 dose per day, once in the morning and once in the evening.

After finishing writing, Lu Xuan looked up and glanced at the two of them: "Let's give it a try?"

"it is good."

Ji Xiuwen did his duty. He knew he couldn't miss such a good opportunity, so after asking for Yu Yunxing's consent, he quickly put his finger on Yu Yunxing's cinchuan ruler.

After a while, he hesitated and said: "The pulse is thin and weak, and the tongue is light."

"What about syndrome differentiation?" Lu Xuan asked.

Ji Xiuwen thought for a while and said: "Weakness of the thin pulse is a disease reflected in the pulse. The pulse shape is small. Cutting it with your hands is like touching a thin line, but the feeling under the fingertips is more obvious, with clear rise and fall. Weakness of the thin pulse is generally a sign of Qi. Symptoms such as blood deficiency, dampness disease, and febrile disease.

It is common in diseases caused by deficiency of both Qi and blood, as well as various types of deficiency and strain. Deficiency of Qi and blood cannot fill the arteries. Insufficient Qi cannot promote blood circulation, resulting in small and weak pulses.

Common symptoms include insomnia, palpitation, abdominal pain, headache, thirst, bloating, and fatigue. Symptoms such as loss of appetite, dull complexion, fatigue, dizziness, and shortness of breath may also be present.

It can also be seen in diseases caused by the blockage of dampness. The disease of water-dampness is filled with the skin, and the blood vessels are squeezed and become small and soft; or the dampness blocks the channels, damaging the Yang Qi, and the Qi and blood in the channels are weak, affecting the Qi. Blood circulation causes the veins to become thin.

The evil of warm heat penetrates deep into the blood and burns the Yin blood of the human body, resulting in insufficient Yin blood to fill the blood vessels, and the pulse can be seen as thin and frequent.However, such patients generally experience symptoms such as fever, irritability, thirst, short red urine, red tongue, and coma.

Taken together, it should be a syndrome of Qi and blood deficiency. "

Lu Xuan nodded. It seemed that what he said at noon was not in vain. He finally made this guy wake up a little. Then he asked indifferently: "There is no problem with the diagnosis, but what about the treatment?"

"Replenishing Qi and blood?" Ji Xiuwen was obviously not confident.

Lu Xuan did not speak, but turned to look at Su Kenan.

Su Kenan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if she was thinking about something. Lu Xuan stopped asking any more questions and said quietly: "Mother and child are born together, and essence and blood come from the same source. The kidney stores essence, and the liver stores blood. The kidney is the mother of the liver. Liver blood Metabolized by the kidney essence, Jueyin must wait for the essence of Shaoyin to be sufficient before the blood can flow smoothly and the fluids can be loosened. As the saying goes, mother and child are born from each other, and essence and blood come from the same source.

Qi and blood are the basis of human life activities. Qi is a function and blood is a substance. They are inseparable from each other. Sufficient Qi and blood must be based on the coordination of the internal organs. That is, the ability of the spleen and stomach to transport and transform food is normal. Qi and blood come from the subtleties of the diet. Regarding nutrition, the "Nei Jing" says that "blood and Qi have different names and the same kind." Qi and blood are born in the spleen and stomach, driven by the heart, stored in the liver and kidneys, and nourish the whole body.

The spleen is the foundation of acquired nature and the source of Qi and blood biochemistry.Due to a weak spleen and stomach, insufficient sources of qi and blood will lead to deficiency of qi and blood.

Uncle Yu has stomach pain, fatigue, weakness in the lower limbs, and a thin and weak pulse, which indicates that the spleen and kidneys are weak and the qi and blood are insufficient. The treatment is mainly to replenish the spleen and kidneys, regulate qi and relieve pain. "

At this point, Lu Xuan showed the medical record book in his hand to Ji Xiuwen for a look, and then handed it to Su Kenan. After both of them had read it, he continued: "Astragalus, Codonopsis pilosula, Poria cocos." , raw coix seed, roasted licorice tonify the spleen and replenish qi; dodder, eucommia, polygonum multiflorum, wolfberry, polygonatum, mulberry, achyranthes, Sichuan root, Shayuanzi, raw rehmannia, rehmannia glutinosa, psoralen tonify the kidney and strengthen the bones; Jiuxiang Chong, Corydalis Corydalis regulates Qi and relieves pain."

Ji Xiuwen and the others were thoughtful.

Su Kenan, after thinking for a while, registered the prescription written by Lu Xuan in the medical record into the system.

Lu Xuan, on the other hand, turned to look at Yu Yunxing and said, "Uncle Yu, I can only try my best to help you prolong your survival time due to your disease, but the specific length of time it can be extended does not depend on the medicine, but on you."

"I?"

Yu Yunxing pointed at himself and said with a smile: "What can I know as an old man? I don't remember much of what Dr. Lu just said. How can I know how to treat a doctor?"

Hearing this, Lu Xuan knew that Yu Yunxing had misunderstood his words, so he explained with a smile: "I'm not asking you to treat yourself, but you have to maintain a good mood at ordinary times. No matter what disease you are treating, a A good mood is more effective than taking medicine. Many seemingly incurable diseases may be much better without taking medicine if the patient is in a good mood.

I have prescribed the medicine for you, but how long it can last and whether you can live a normal life with cancer depends on you. "

Yu Yunxing has also read books. Although he only has a junior high school education, he still understands the meaning of Lu Xuan's words. He nodded and asked: "Doctor Lu, what should I do?"

Lu Xuan said seriously: "It's very simple. Don't think about it at ordinary times. Eat and drink when you should. Don't take this disease seriously. Just treat yourself as a normal person. As long as you are in a good mood, your body's immunity will be improved." It will go up naturally. We have to trust our own ability to adjust. But the key to all this is that you have to maintain a good mood and don't think that you will die if you have cancer. Nowadays, there are more people living with cancer. Many people. Some people even live with cancer for more than ten or even decades.”

Yu Yunxing nodded: "I'll try my best. This matter won't be reversed in a short while."

Lu Xuan didn't say anything. He also knew that it was unrealistic to expect Yu Yunxing to change his view on cancer just by saying these two words.

Only the medicine worked, giving Yu Yunxing hope of survival and trust in Zilai.
