The Cancer Research Office of Guangzhou College of Traditional Chinese Medicine once conducted a survey on the influence of dietary factors on cancer. Among the 565 cases investigated, 5 1 case (9%) ate all kinds of food without restraint during the treatment, and later developed symptoms such as fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea and anorexia due to eating dog meat, fried chicken, fried shrimp, sour and hot carp and drinking too much. Three cases have achieved clinical remission after treatment, and then recurred due to eating hair.
The treatment principle of traditional Chinese medicine is syndrome differentiation, so there is no unified conclusion about what cancer patients can and cannot eat. Strictly speaking, it must be determined by the patient's cold and heat deficiency and the nature and taste of food. However, in clinical practice, no one, whether a patient or a doctor, has time to check and determine what he can or cannot eat today. Therefore, in order to be prudent, experienced Chinese medicine practitioners will list several foods that are forbidden to eat and can only ask patients to follow them.
The taboo foods for patients with liver cancer are cock, duck (muscovy duck), pig's head meat, shrimp, crab, snail, mussel, silkworm chrysalis, mutton, dog meat, eel, bamboo shoots, pepper, fried products, cigarettes, wine and so on. (part of it is folk hair). Of course, it is difficult to explain them clearly. Individual patients may not have an accident after eating these foods. To be precise, it is safe to do so.
One: Appropriate restrictions on food. Zanthoxylum bungeanum, duck, clam, mutton, soft-shelled turtle, Monopterus albus, dog meat, black-bone chicken, Toona sinensis, konjac and other foods cannot be eaten.
Family members with good economic conditions like to buy water fish (turtles) for cancer patients. They think that water fish is rich in nutrition and can make patients recover quickly after eating it. As we all know, cancer patients, especially patients with advanced liver cancer, generally have the phenomenon of spleen and stomach weakness, and water fish is a high-protein food, which is not easy to digest. Eating water fish will only increase the burden on the stomach of patients with advanced cancer. Patients can't absorb it well, and spending money on it will only make them suffer.
Dog meat and mutton is an aphrodisiac tonic to help fire, and almost all cancer patients in early, middle and late stages are hot constitution. Patients with hot constitution will get worse if they eat hot products. Only when it is critical, some patients will turn to yang deficiency. Patients can eat dog meat and mutton at this time. Unfortunately, the patient can't eat any more.
In the spring of 2002, a patient with advanced liver cancer recovered his normal life ability under our treatment. In order to enhance his nutrition, his family bought a black-bone chicken to stew for the patient. At that time, I called for advice. We had never heard that black-bone chicken could not be eaten, so we agreed to eat it. Unexpectedly, the patient began to have a high fever that night, and then she went up and down repeatedly, and her condition worsened. In the autumn of 2002, I received a letter from a family member of an early-stage liver cancer patient. The patient recovered well after operation, saying that the incision of the original operation was itchy and the patient had scratched his skin after eating stewed water fish with black-bone chicken. It can be seen that some patients with liver cancer will get worse after eating black-bone chicken. For the sake of caution, it is suggested that patients with liver cancer should not eat black-bone chicken for the time being. Clinically, all patients with liver cirrhosis are required to take the Chinese patent medicine "Wuji Baifeng Pill", which may be because the content of the finished medicine is low and no side effects have been seen so far.
Two: limit the amount of food, the patient's spleen and stomach are not good, eat everything, don't overeat, don't have a partial eclipse, pay attention to the supplement of fruit, there is a data that taking vitamin C in patients with advanced liver cancer can prolong their life appropriately.
Proper exercise can help you get back to work as much as possible (it must be light physical labor). This is because patients who are idle at home all day will always think that they are patients, which will increase their mental burden and is not conducive to rehabilitation. Proper exercise can help them to put down their mental burden to some extent, which is beneficial to their health.
Four: Whether you can live a husband and wife life is also a matter of different opinions. Once, a patient with liver cancer recovered obviously and survived with a tumor. One day, he came to me and said, Last night, I was exhausted from dreaming. Later, every once in a while, I would have a dream. I kept asking him to abstain from sex at that time. But from this case, if he does it once a month, nothing will happen. In my humble opinion, if early treatment can achieve obvious improvement or even clinical cure, it is ok to live a normal husband and wife life, but it must be enough and clear that it can only be once a month or two.
Five: Due to the low immunity of patients with advanced liver cancer, sometimes a little carelessness and seemingly trivial actions will lead to the deterioration of the condition and give up all previous efforts.
A patient rode a motorcycle back to his unit to deal with some affairs after the obvious effects of Chinese and western medicines had just appeared. I didn't expect to be blown by the strong wind, and my condition suddenly deteriorated that night. The next day, he was sent back to the hospital with a critical notice. Two patients have just been discharged from the hospital after three-dimensional conformal X-knife and Chinese medicine treatment, and entered the hair salon to wash their hair (summer). Because it usually takes more than an hour to wash your hair in the hair salon now, both of them caught a cold and got worse that night. A patient got a little better after taking the medicine, but his appetite was wide open. Because I didn't pay attention, I ate some greasy food and immediately vomited, which made my condition worse (hurt my stomach).
