Is it better to use Chinese medicine or western medicine in the late stage of cancer? Why?

I am a medical graduate student, and I answer with my shallow knowledge. First, give a conclusion. For cancer treatment, there is no best way, only the right way. Diseases in the human body, the same disease, different people's different living habits, the treatment effect will be different.

As we all know, western medicine is characterized by accurate treatment. For cancer, it is necessary to clarify the disease process, index parameters, initial treatment effect and so on. And the treatment plan is not static radiotherapy, chemotherapy, etc. And it needs to be explored. In the course of treatment, western medicine can clearly tell you what cancer you are, what stage you have reached, where the tumor focus is, and also can clearly tell you the drugs you use and the specific functions of the methods you use, such as lung cancer. Teresa, which is commonly used, is EGFR targeting the signaling pathway, which can reduce the proliferation and metastasis of cancer cells. The goal is clear. At the same time, he will also tell you how effective the drug treatment is. As for whether cancer cells can be completely suppressed and cured, it is a concrete analysis of the specific situation.

Our Chinese medicine does not have the concept of precise treatment. As we know, western medicine is a drug with definite composition and measurement, while traditional Chinese medicine is a mixed drug. There is no definite composition and measurement description, and there is no strict clinical drug concentration detection, so it is an empirical drug. For many Chinese medicine practitioners, they know that Bupleurum can relieve colds, but why it can relieve colds, what are the effective components, and the chemical process in the body may not be understood. Everyone knows that ginseng and ganoderma lucidum are said to have anti-cancer effects, but they can not only relieve cancer, but also improve immunity, promote blood circulation and rape bones and muscles. Do you think ginsenoside directly kills cancer cells or indirectly inhibits cancer by improving immunity? What is the specific chemical model?

So I think western medicine is a more scientific and rigorous treatment method, and its treatment risk is relatively low (treatment risk is not equal to treatment effect). Can you cure me? That's reasonable and convincing. At present, most cancers can achieve obvious linkage effect through western medicine treatment, especially now that immunotherapy and targeted therapy are becoming more and more mature. But the camera comes with high medical expenses. The therapeutic effect of traditional Chinese medicine is more likely to be the comprehensive treatment of drugs. For example, component A in the drug has the effect of killing cancer cells, and component B has the effect of nourishing, which is a comprehensive effect. However, the scientific progress of Chinese medicine in treating cancer is slow. At present, it is still a state of eating the experience of the elderly, and the diseases that can be treated are limited. Moreover, some Chinese medicine practitioners are deceptive in fighting cancer, and drugs have the effect of "returning to the light", but they will consume people's essence. You may feel refreshed after taking Chinese medicine for a month, but after a while, you will be terminally ill.

As a western medicine learner, I suggest using western medicine in the early stage of cancer treatment for more scientific and rigorous treatment. When western medicine issues an ultimatum, I can try Chinese medicine.

I hope everyone is healthy. I'd rather have no hospital than a drugstore!

If you want to stay on earth, you should see Chinese medicine.

Terminal cancer ... I'll tell you what I went through. It's no use. Judge for yourself.

A patient with advanced cancer underwent surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and targeted chemotherapy. Finally, the big hospital didn't stay (you know why the big hospital didn't stay) and transferred to the small hospital. Finally, the doctor recommended extremely expensive drugs. Hospitals are too expensive. The doctor recommended Daigou, so I bought his medicine (the prototype in Dying for Survival). The buddy finally advised me: Dude, don't buy it, this medicine can't cure your illness. I said, I know, I have no choice.

Later, the patient was unable to get out of bed after critical rescue. The doctor said: it may not last for a few days, and the patient is very painful. I was unwilling, so I used a Chinese medicine. This Chinese medicine is very toxic, I know, but I have been afraid to use it. Now we can only try. I asked the patient and the patient nodded. After using it, I got out of bed the next day and could still eat. The whole family is very happy. I took him to the hospital for an examination, and then took the examination report to the attending doctor of the big hospital. After reading the report, the attending doctor said: Is he still alive? Then he explained to us that all the patients in the same period had left. ...

Western medicine failed to cure his terminal cancer, and neither did Chinese medicine. He left me two months later.

But I thank the last Chinese doctor. Finally, when he left, he was still sitting in a chair admiring his beloved orchid, with a kind smile on his face when he ate.

Advanced cancer ... there's no such thing.

In order to distinguish traditional medicine in China, we usually refer to modern medicine as Western medicine and traditional medicine in China as Chinese medicine. In fact, I think there is no absolute difference between Chinese medicine and western medicine, but the division of labor is different. In fact, Chinese medicine and western medicine are not contradictory.

Chinese medicine has been extensive and profound for five thousand years, and the classic cases of Chinese medicine are as unbreakable as textbooks. Traditional Chinese medicine is a kind of fuzzy medicine, and many theories are just theories without objective basis. Are based on previous experience. This is especially true for Chinese medicine. The ingredients, curative effects and side effects of many traditional Chinese medicines are unknown. Doctors use drugs entirely on the basis of ideas and experience, and few Chinese medicine practitioners can explain the mechanism and principle of a disease or a drug thoroughly. In fact, Chinese medicine is good at "treating diseases before they occur", that is to say, before getting sick, Chinese medicine can be used to regulate the internal environment and focus on health preservation.

Western medicine is the mainstream of modern medicine. Even in China, where Chinese medicine is highly respected, the proportion of western medicine in all medical services still exceeds 90%. The therapeutic concept of western medicine is based on theoretical basis and evidence-based medicine, which is completely different from traditional Chinese medicine. Western medicine studies the etiology, physiological and pathological mechanism and anatomical characteristics of each disease far more thoroughly than traditional Chinese medicine. This is especially true of western medicine. The molecular chemical composition, mechanism of action, efficacy principle, dose effect, pharmacological toxicity and pharmacokinetics of each drug have been clearly studied and can be reflected in the instructions of western medicine. In addition, unlike the slow development of traditional Chinese medicine, the development speed of western medicine is amazing. Every year, the global investment in research and development of various drugs exceeds 1 trillion dollars, not counting the research and development of medical devices. However, western medicine also has its shortcomings. Western medicine tends to pay attention to the disease itself rather than people, paying little attention to people's integrity, ignoring the influence of people's mental factors and psychological factors on the disease, and paying little attention to abnormalities that cannot be detected by equipment. Therefore, western medicine is also considered as "preventing diseases", that is to say, treating diseases that have already occurred, rather than "not getting sick" as Chinese medicine says. To put it bluntly, contrary to Chinese medicine's preference for health preservation, western medicine is used to treat diseases.

The combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine has its own advantages and disadvantages, so the concept of combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine came into being. Give full play to the advantages of the two drugs in the treatment process, foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, and make the treatment of diseases more efficient.

Treatment of advanced cancer For the vast majority of advanced cancers, neither Chinese medicine nor western medicine is sure enough to treat them.

Western medicine

There is no doubt that the terminal stage of cancer is terminally ill, and it is definitely useless to rely on health preservation. As a western medicine with accurate medical treatment, the usual treatment of advanced cancer is also palliative. For many cancers, western medicine can also achieve certain therapeutic purposes through targeted radiotherapy and chemotherapy. However, the curative effect of advanced cancer, whether chemotherapy, radiotherapy or other treatment methods, is measured by the 3-year or 5-year survival rate. For most patients with advanced cancer, what western medicine can do is to find the breakthrough point of the disease, use appropriate drugs to slow down the development of the disease, and at the same time do symptomatic support treatment according to the general situation of patients. It can be seen that the treatment of most advanced cancers by western medicine can only control the development speed of the disease as much as possible, but can't really treat cancer. For example, in the late stage of liver cancer complicated with bone metastasis, doctors can only use painkillers to alleviate the pain of patients, and they are helpless about the tumor itself.

traditional Chinese medicine

Western medicine can't guarantee treatment, so what about Chinese medicine? Indeed, I have heard that patients with advanced cancer switch to Chinese medicine after the failure of western medicine treatment, and achieved good results. I think it is possible, but it is unlikely to happen. There is a phenomenon called selective attention. Why do we hear such stories is mainly because such things rarely happen, and once they happen, they will be paid special attention, that is, selective attention. For example, among 100 patients with advanced cancer, 20 patients were cured by western medicine, and only 1 or 2 patients could receive Chinese medicine treatment. However, it happened that this 1 or two cases were infinitely magnified by some people, saying that "the cancer that cannot be cured by western medicine can be cured by Chinese medicine", which is a selective concern. Western medicine has such a thorough understanding of the pathogenesis of diseases and a clear understanding of the mechanism of action of drugs. The principle and mechanism of cancer that is not cured by this method are not clear, and it can only be cured by experienced Chinese medicine practitioners. Can you believe it? I don't believe it! However, Chinese medicine is not useless in the treatment of cancer patients. The internal environment conditioning that Chinese medicine is good at has certain value in the adjuvant treatment of cancer patients. For example, cancer patients are usually accompanied by anemia, so Chinese medicine can improve the symptoms of anemia by regulating the deficiency of both qi and blood in patients. For another example, patients with advanced cancer are usually depressed, and Chinese medicine can improve symptoms by invigorating qi. However, Chinese medicine must not be regarded as the main means of treating cancer.

combine traditional Chinese and western medicine

In view of the advantages and disadvantages of Chinese and western medicine, I think the best treatment for advanced cancer is the combination of Chinese and western medicine. Western medicine can fight cancer more accurately, while Chinese medicine can help treat some accompanying symptoms and adjust the internal environment of patients. It's like a war. Chinese medicine is a cookhouse squad, an art troupe and a medical soldier. They can ensure that soldiers can have enough physical strength and spirit. The real battle still depends on the soldier of western medicine. After all, it is rare for a medic like hacksaw ridge to play the leading role.

Therefore, don't blindly believe those who advocate the good of Chinese medicine. After all, China's overall medical level still lags behind the developed countries in the world. According to the comparison of the 5-year survival rate of cancer between China and the United States in 20 18, the overall 5-year survival rate of all cancers is 30.9% in China and 66% in the United States. This objective fact is enough to prove that western medicine is still the first choice for disease treatment. For advanced cancer, it may be the best treatment if we can add auxiliary Chinese medicine treatment.

Chinese medicine is not everything. Although I am a Chinese doctor, Chinese medicine is more scientific than western medicine in treating advanced cancer. Don't believe all kinds of fake Chinese medicines for treating cancer for the time being, because more than half of Chinese medicines that can be advertised are developed by western medicines, not Chinese medicines at all. The theory is good, but only God knows the actual effect. This self-deceiving research and development has hindered the development of traditional Chinese medicine, and is also deceiving consumers, making traditional Chinese medicine itself a tool for collecting money. Without the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine, if the cancer needs a treatment in the late stage (delaying life with dignity), I suggest you insist on taking wort and alfalfa juice, and then treat it according to the specific situation. As for the targeted treatment of western medicine, the theoretical data is greater than the actual effect, so it is only an alternative.

-What saved my father! My father was admitted to XX Hospital for pancreatic cancer and intestinal cancer in March last year, and had three operations and four chemotherapy. Until May this year, the hospital repeatedly informed their families to be psychologically prepared. Almost all relatives and friends who know and care about my father want our children to spend more time with his father. The implication is that my father's days are numbered. During that time, we were under great pressure, haggard and anxious day and night. Although my father is over 70 years old, as a child, everyone thinks that my father has worked hard for us all his life and should enjoy life for a few more years. Several children and sisters discussed, let me take time off to accompany my mother to breast-feed my father, and prepare to transfer my father to the best hospital in the city for treatment. Father is lying in a hospital bed, dying, and lives by losing energy. The most common thing my mother said in my ear in those days was: "Your father is dying. The doctor said it was wasting cancer, and he would eventually dry up and die. The current treatment is only to comfort his loved ones. " As soon as my mother said it, I got annoyed and refuted her. Mom blames me for being stubborn. Just wait and see if you don't believe me. I just don't believe in evil. I'll take the blood donation back first and suggest blood transfusion first, but I never expected that I couldn't lose it for two hours before and after blood transfusion. Doctors don't know this common sense Immediately after blood transfusion, I gave my father a blood transfusion and lost 30 ml of blood. My father can't stand it. The doctor was so scared that he quickly pulled out the blood transfusion and rescued him. He also told us that your father didn't respond normally to blood transfusion. How come... My face is calm and my teeth itch. I am not a doctor. The doctor saw that my expression was wrong. He called me to the office at once. The dean, the attending doctor and the experienced doctor are all here. They said, do you know your father's illness? I said yes. They said we did our best. Your father's illness is too serious. You should be mentally prepared. I can't stop crying. I asked the doctor if my father's cancer had spread, and they said no. I asked them if they had moved, and they said no. I asked if there was anything wrong with the blood. They said that all the indicators were normal except that hemoglobin was only a little lower than 7 grams, and then they couldn't eat or didn't want to eat. Hearing this, my hanging heart finally relaxed a little. I told them that my father is a strong man and you must encourage him spiritually. He said he only listened to your doctor, and he didn't believe anything others said. You advised him to accept Chinese medicine treatment. They said that your father vomited after drinking Chinese medicine, and I said that I vomited after drinking Chinese medicine. I have full confidence in my father's illness. Now my father urgently needs to nourish his stomach and produce fluid, and it will be over without body fluid. The doctor said, I prescribed Chinese medicine for your father, but it didn't work. I said it was just a bottle of perfect tonic cream. After drinking less than a third, it left it in the refrigerator. Do you think this will work? All the doctors were speechless. I said that at this stage, western medicine told my father that he had completed his mission, and now only Chinese medicine can save him. The doctor took my advice and immediately injected his father with Shenmai injection and Acanthopanax senticosus injection. The next day, they specially invited experts to the Chinese medicine hospital and prescribed three pairs of Chinese medicine for my father. I hurried back to cook. After drinking Chinese medicine at noon on the third day, my father could eat a hall of eight-treasure porridge in one breath, and then my father always wanted to eat it. Now he is full of energy, has a good appetite, smells good when he eats anything, and gained eleven pounds a month, returning to his pre-illness appearance. His daily life is very regular, taking care of his precious flowers and plants, cooking his specialty and taking care of his favorite grandson, which makes him very happy. Many people around me are curious about how Grandpa D changed so quickly from a month ago. My father and I just laughed and knew that Chinese medicine had played a role, and only my mother could not hide it. Everyone said that Chinese medicine saved our old D's life! I wrote it in June 2006. After that, my father lived in peace with the disease and struggled for nearly ten years, and died on February 7, 2005+2065438! At the age of 83, my father's death is a pain in my heart forever. I didn't want to uncover this pain, just for the sake of people who have the same experience as me! I also hope that Chinese medicine in Greater China will be carried forward!

Generally late, western medicine can do nothing! That's why it's called terminal cancer! What's the point of going to western medicine again?

Conservative treatment is generally recommended. If you can, drink some soup to recuperate, and it won't delay your life, won't it?

Later, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery were removed. The patient unfortunately left, and it was miserable! There is basically no cure for the advanced stage. Although emotionally unacceptable, it is still recommended to go home for conservative treatment. Don't die of pain with needles and ventilators.

Chinese medicine treatment, mentality adjustment, and living for another year and a half is very promising! Because Chinese medicine not only cures diseases, but also cures the heart!

Intestinal cancer is blocked, and the patient suffocates without surgery. Brain tumor surgeons are afraid to know the patient's lesions deeply. He is afraid of taking responsibility. The operation only removed a large part of the brain tissue, which was useless. It depends on what the cancer is, early and late. As long as you can eat and drink, you don't need surgery. One year 12 months without surgery, there is no need for surgery. Why can't you live with yourself? The rest 12. Chinese medicine may have medicine to heal itself, but it won't let you die without dignity. After western medicine surgery, I can't get up basically, and I have to rely on my family to take care of my life. People who haven't lived for a few months are sneaking around, and you have no money to talk about. Before you stay in bed, the hospital and doctors will tell you to leave the hospital and go home to recover. Actually, I might as well tell you there's nothing I can do. After being cured, he died in the hospital and spent so much money.

Cancer is a disease created by modern medicine.

If a person, where does cancer come from?

Being sick into the human body is like a thief entering your house. In modern medicine, it is to catch thieves behind closed doors, surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and try to catch thieves, but I don't know that thieves are so easy to submit. So, the family was beaten to pieces. If the thief can't be caught, who knows who will bear it? So the word is cancer. It means sentencing first. In fact, the patient was either scared to death or executed, and the result was both money and people. A few people with good psychological quality can get through this. But cancer treatment is the most profitable business in modern medicine, and this major is probably the first in the world.

How to deal with Chinese medicine

In a word, open the door and drive away the bandits. Open the door, let's go, go, go back there. The internal environment that produces cancer will be completely improved and changed. Cancer cells are very smart. Once there is no environment they like, they will run away immediately. There are too many means and methods in Chinese medicine for thousands of years.

Advanced cancer, integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine treatment as well! Western medicine treats the symptoms, while Chinese medicine treats the root cause. Only by treating both the symptoms and the root causes can the survival of patients with advanced cancer be prolonged. For example, lung cancer is one of the common cancers in respiratory tract. Early lung cancer is often misdiagnosed because it is confused with tuberculosis, so we should be especially vigilant. Lung cancer belongs to the category of cough, phlegm, cough and hemoptysis in traditional Chinese medicine. Because of different sources, it can be divided into primary and metastatic. For primary lung cancer, surgical treatment is advocated at present; For advanced or metastatic lung cancer, radiotherapy, chemical drugs, Chinese herbal medicines and dietotherapy are usually used.
