Xu Li (Professor, Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine) and Lu (Assistant Professor, Teaching and Research Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine) Clinically, many patients with advanced liver cancer, or after surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, often have symptoms of insufficient vital energy, such as general weakness, general weakness, poor appetite, and less food intake. Chinese medicine says that such patients need to replenish their vitality. White lentil is a common food for invigorating spleen and benefiting qi, which has the characteristics of nourishing spleen, eliminating dampness and not drying, and is especially suitable for patients with spleen deficiency and dampness. In addition to spleen deficiency, such patients are accompanied by symptoms such as sticky mouth, loose stool and even watery stool. Functional white lentils are sweet, flat and slightly warm. Enter the spleen and stomach meridian. It has that effect of invigorating spleen, eliminate dampness, relieving summer heat, and regulating middle energizer, and is commonly used in clinic to treat vomiting due to summer heat, spleen deficiency, chronic anorexia, alcohol withdrawal and thirst, leucorrhea with reddish discharge, and infantile malnutrition. The effect of white lentils does not stop there. According to medical research in recent years, white lentils have certain anti-cancer effect, and in vitro experiments of white lentils have the effect of inhibiting tumor growth. The phytohemagglutinin contained in white lentils has been proved by experiments in vitro that it can agglutinate malignant tumor cells, change the surface structure of tumor cells and directly kill tumor cells. In addition, phytohemagglutinin can promote the transformation of lymphocytes, thus enhancing the body's immunity to tumors. Related people: Patients with liver cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer and other tumors can eat white lentils to strengthen the spleen and stop diarrhea, whether they are advanced patients or after surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Eating white lentils can also improve the symptoms of digestive tract symptoms such as loss of appetite, fullness in the upper abdomen after meals, nausea and vomiting, and diarrhea. Patients with liver cancer, and patients with the above digestive tract reactions during and after chemotherapy. People with malaria should not eat white lentils when they have severe watery diarrhea, nausea, loss of appetite and other symptoms. White lentils contain clotting substances and lysosaponin. If it is undercooked and eaten half-cooked, it will cause symptoms such as poisoning, dizziness, headache, vomiting and nausea. So eat white lentils must be cooked. Liver cancer patients with digestive tract symptoms or cancer patients with digestive tract reaction during and after chemotherapy can cook porridge with white lentils, yam, coix seed, fresh radish juice, radish seeds, japonica rice, etc. , can reasonably eliminate dampness, strengthen the spleen and help transport, and can achieve the effects of relieving bloating, appetizing, stopping vomiting and diarrhea. Barbecue, roast chicken, radish with fresh white lentils, or with mushrooms, mushrooms, fungus, Hericium erinaceus shredded fried, have anti-cancer effect, both delicious and anti-cancer food, which is helpful for cancer patients to eat regularly. During radiotherapy and chemotherapy, patients with liver cancer can also be supplemented with other products that strengthen the spleen and stimulate appetite, such as lotus root, yam, coix seed, grapes, wax gourd, eggs, quail eggs, bird's nest, tortoise plastron glue and so on. Two dietotherapy prescriptions for white lentils: 1. Stir-fry white lentils 1kg and grind into powder. Take 9g before three meals a day and take it with Juncus soup, which can cure cancerous edema. 2. White lentil yam porridge: fresh yam 30g peeled and sliced, white lentil 15g, and japonica rice 50g. Boil white lentils and japonica rice until half cooked, then cook them with Yamashita slices, and add some sugar for breakfast. Efficacy: invigorating spleen and qi, eliminating dampness and stopping diarrhea, suitable for cancer diarrhea patients.

Efficacy: invigorating spleen and qi, eliminating dampness and stopping diarrhea, suitable for cancer diarrhea patients. Strawberry loss of appetite, epigastric fullness after meals, indigestion, burping and nausea are common digestive tract symptoms in patients with liver cancer. Some patients are prone to constipation due to the use of antiemetic drugs or impaired liver function, leading to gastrointestinal dysfunction; Some patients have cancer fever due to the release of pyrogen into the blood circulation after tumor tissue necrosis, or fever due to low resistance and easy infection. Strawberry, known as the "fruit queen", can obviously improve the above symptoms of patients with liver cancer. Functional strawberry, sweet and sour, cool in nature, enters the spleen, stomach and lung meridians, and has the effects of preventing and treating cancer, strengthening the spleen and regulating the stomach, nourishing blood and replenishing blood, moistening the lungs and promoting fluid production, relieving cough and clearing heat, and nourishing the heart and brain. Organic acids in strawberries help to promote the function of gastrointestinal tract, and have a good effect on anorexia, abdominal distension and dyspepsia. Eating a few strawberries before meals can stimulate appetite and help digestion. If you eat strawberries after meals, it can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, help digestion, improve constipation and prevent hemorrhoids and intestinal cancer. This is because strawberries are rich in pectin and dietary fiber. Vitamin C, biological brass and iron in strawberries have nourishing and conditioning effects on anemia and other diseases, and can also prevent scurvy (vitamin C deficiency). Strawberry has a positive preventive effect on hypertension, heart disease and arteriosclerosis. According to medical research, the anticancer effect of strawberry ranks first among fruits. In recent years, foreign scholars have confirmed that the anticancer substances contained in strawberries can inhibit and hinder the division of cancer cells, resist carcinogens and mutagenic substances in the body, protect normal cells and inhibit the growth of malignant tumors. Another document shows that the antioxidants contained in strawberries have the function of radiation protection, which has been confirmed and recognized. In addition, strawberries also have the effect of sobering up. Patients with liver cancer, colorectal cancer, leukemia, lung cancer and other tumors can eat strawberries as an auxiliary anti-cancer, especially those with symptoms such as loss of appetite, abdominal distension, indigestion, constipation, anemia, fever or diseases such as hypertension and coronary heart disease. Eating strawberries during chemotherapy for cancer patients can reduce digestive tract reaction, and eating strawberries during radiotherapy can prevent radiation esophagitis and radiation enteritis. However, although strawberries are good, people with phlegm, diarrhea, urinary calculi and poor renal function should not eat more, because strawberries contain more calcium oxalate, and improper consumption may aggravate the condition of these patients. Note that strawberries can be eaten fresh or processed into various foods, such as juice, jam and fruit wine. Strawberry juice can also be added to ice cream, pudding, custard, gelatin salad and other foods to make various delicious foods. Patients with loss of appetite and abdominal distension can eat strawberries before each meal; Patients with gluttony and indigestion can eat after meals; People with bleeding gums can eat strawberries every morning and evening. Two dietary prescriptions for strawberries: 1. Take fresh strawberry 100g, japonica rice 100g and brown sugar 20g. Wash fresh strawberries and grind them into a thin paste. Put the washed rice into the pot, add appropriate amount of water and cook it into thick porridge. When the porridge is ready, add brown sugar and strawberry jam, mix well and boil. Take it twice in the morning and evening. Long-term use can strengthen the spleen and stomach. 2. Take 50g fresh strawberries and 30g honey. Twist fresh strawberries into paste, put them in a bowl, add honey, mix well, add cold boiled water to brew to 500ml, and put them in the refrigerator. Twice a day, 250 ml each time, as tea. Has the effects of tonifying deficiency, nourishing blood, moistening lung, benefiting intestine, detoxicating and resisting cancer. It is especially suitable for patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma, lung cancer, tonsil cancer and laryngeal cancer to do auxiliary diet therapy during and after radiotherapy, which can reduce radiotherapy reaction, relieve symptoms and promote rehabilitation. Patients with liver cancer in cucumber often feel intermittent or persistent dull pain in the right upper abdomen, which can sometimes be aggravated by the change of * * * *; Most patients with liver cancer will also have jaundice (yellow eyes and sclera, yellow urine), fever, ascites, edema and other symptoms. At this time, you can eat more foods with the effect of clearing away heat, promoting diuresis and relieving pain, and cucumber is one of the representative foods with this effect. Functional cucumber is cold and sweet. Has effect in clearing away heat, promote diuresis, removing toxic materials, relieving swelling, promote fluid production and quenching thirst. Cucumber contains protein, fat, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins (A, B 1, B2, C, E). It is a good health care and adjuvant therapy food. As a good product for weight loss and beauty, it has long been favored by people. Modern pharmacological studies have found that cucurbitacin C contained in cucumber head can improve human immune function, thus achieving the purpose of anti-tumor. In addition, the substance can also treat chronic hepatitis and persistent hepatitis, and has the effect of prolonging life and gradually eliminating pain for patients with primary liver cancer. In addition, fresh cucumber contains very delicate cellulose, which can not only accelerate the excretion of intestinal spoilage substances, but also reduce the role of cholesterol in the blood. Therefore, eating cucumber regularly is of great benefit to patients with obesity, high cholesterol and arteriosclerosis. Eating cucumber for patients with liver cancer can not only improve immunity and resist tumor, but also relieve symptoms such as pain, jaundice and ascites. Whether it is cancerous fever or inflammatory fever caused by infection with low resistance, eating cucumber can clear away heat. For cancer patients with ascites, pleural effusion or systemic edema, eating cucumber can reduce exudation. Cancer patients with high cholesterol and arteriosclerosis are also suitable for eating cucumbers. Cucumber is cold, spleen deficiency, stomach cold and indigestion are not suitable for eating more. Cucumber can be eaten as vegetables, fruits, cooked food or raw food. However, due to its low content of vitamins and other nutrients, it is best to eat with other vegetables and fruits to achieve better nutritional effects. Patients with liver cancer and fever can eat with Oenanthe javanica, Zizania latifolia, Momordica charantia, tomato, water chestnut, watermelon and kiwi fruit. Patients with jaundice can eat Zizania latifolia, water chestnut, loach, crab, clam, snail, snail, lily and so on. Patients with ascites edema can eat red beans, quail eggs, kelp, clams, watermelons, sugar cane, wax gourd, pumpkins and so on. Patients who feel pain can eat kumquat, bergamot, bayberry, hawthorn, arrowhead and so on. In patients with liver cancer complicated with ascites, the venous return is blocked due to the compression of lower extremity veins by ascites or the obstruction of tumor thrombus, or the symptoms of lower extremity edema often occur due to low plasma albumin, with light ankle and heavy whole leg. Because of impaired liver function and abnormal coagulation function, most patients with liver cancer are prone to bleeding, such as gingival bleeding, subcutaneous purple spots, gastrointestinal bleeding, nosebleeds and so on. For patients with edema, eating utensils is beneficial to detumescence, and those with bleeding tendency should pay attention to nourishing blood and stopping bleeding. Because of its diuretic and hemostatic effects, lily has become a good diet for patients with liver cancer. Lily is flat in function, sweet in taste and slightly cool. Enter the liver and kidney meridians. It has the effects of nourishing blood, calming the liver, relieving swelling and diuresis, stopping bleeding and preventing cancer, lowering blood pressure and cholesterol, promoting lactation and diuresis, strengthening brain and calming nerves. According to reports, the extract of lily can inhibit the proliferation of fibroblasts and prevent the proliferation of cancer cells. Colchicine contained in lily has obvious inhibitory effect on cell mitosis and can inhibit the growth of cancer cells, so it is widely used to treat cancer in clinic, and has certain curative effects on liver cancer, breast cancer, skin cancer, leukemia and malignant lymphoma. In addition, among carcinogens, nitrosamines are the most concerned chemical carcinogens, which can cause malignant tumors in human liver and other organs, especially in the occurrence of liver cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, esophageal cancer and gastric cancer. Studies have confirmed that the extract of needle lily has a certain inhibitory effect on the formation of nitrosamines. Related persons: Patients with liver cancer, breast cancer, skin cancer, leukemia, malignant lymphoma and lung cancer can eat gold needles to hit tumors. When all kinds of tumor patients have clinical manifestations such as jaundice, ascites, edema, bleeding, hypertension and high cholesterol. They can eat gold needles to relieve their illness. In addition, for patients with depression, irritability and insomnia, eating lily often can clear away heat, relieve annoyance and make people sleep. Pay attention to your diet. Generally, dry lily is soaked in clear water first, and then stir-fry and cook soup after swelling. Fresh lily contains colchicine, which is easy to be poisoned after eating, causing nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, hematuria, bloody stool and other reactions, so it is not suitable to eat fresh products. If you eat fresh lily, you should first blanch it with boiling water, then soak it in clear water for more than 2 hours, then take it out and wash it with clear water before frying it, which is safer. Patients with liver cancer with obvious edema and ascites can also eat red beans, quail eggs, kelp, clams, watermelons, sugar cane, wax gourd and pumpkins. People with bleeding tendency can also eat ebony, arrowhead, clam meat, Malantou, shepherd's purse, lotus root and so on. People with poor liver function can also eat liver-protecting foods such as soft-shelled turtle, thistle, shiitake mushrooms, mushrooms and kidney beans. Three therapeutic prescriptions for golden needle: 1. Golden needle loach boiled tofu: loach, golden needle and tofu boiled soup. It is suitable for liver cancer with jaundice. 2. Cold day lily: soak 200g fresh day lily in hot water, take it out and let it cool, and add sesame oil and sugar to cool it slightly. Efficacy: clearing away heat and promoting diuresis, reducing swelling and resolving hard mass, suitable for patients with liver cancer accompanied by edema and ascites. 3. Slim broth of golden needle: 30g of golden needle (dried, soaked and washed), 2 pieces of lean pork 100g and candied dates, put into a pot, add appropriate amount of water, simmer 1 hr, and season with salt before eating. Has the effects of clearing heat, calming liver, moistening dryness and stopping bleeding. It is suitable for patients with liver cancer with bleeding tendency. Most patients with Flammulina velutipes liver cancer have low immunity. If the immunity is low, tumor cells cannot be suppressed or killed. If the body's defense is weakened or disappeared, cancer cells will grow uncontrollably in the body and then transfer and spread. The purpose of using immune preparations such as thymosin and lentinan in clinic is to improve the body's immunity and better resist tumors. Recent studies have found that many foods in our daily diet have the function of enhancing the body's immunity. Functional Flammulina velutipes is cold and salty. Into the liver, stomach and intestine. It can benefit liver, stomach, intelligence and cancer. According to a large number of documents, Flammulina velutipes contains Flammulina velutipes polysaccharide, mucopolysaccharide and other components, which can improve human immunity and help prevent and treat cancers such as liver cancer, ovarian cancer and breast cancer. Flammulina velutipes polysaccharide can also increase the curative effect of chemotherapy and reduce the adverse reactions caused by chemotherapy, such as leukopenia in peripheral blood. Moreover, it can also enhance the ability of liver to scavenge free radicals by inducing the activity of drug metabolizing enzymes in the liver, thus playing a role in protecting the liver. Flammulina velutipes stems contain a lot of dietary fiber, which can adsorb cholic acid, reduce cholesterol, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, and have the functions of preventing hypertension and myocardial infarction, and treating liver diseases and digestive tract ulcers. Flammulina velutipes has high lysine content, which can promote children's growth and development, enhance memory and improve intelligence; Arginine can prevent and treat digestive system diseases such as hepatitis and gastrointestinal ulcer. Researchers at the National University of Singapore found that the stems of Flammulina velutipes contain a kind of protein, which can not only improve the immunity to cancer, but also prevent allergies such as asthma, rhinitis and eczema. Patients with various tumors, such as respiratory tract tumor, digestive tract tumor, breast cancer, gynecological tumor, leukemia, etc. Especially for those whose immune function is suppressed due to tumor, chemotherapy or poor health, eating Flammulina velutipes can enhance immunity, inhibit the development of tumor and improve the quality of life of patients. Patients during radiotherapy and chemotherapy should eat more Flammulina velutipes to increase the curative effect and reduce the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. It is beneficial for patients with poor liver function, hypercholesterolemia and hypertension to eat Flammulina velutipes. Flammulina velutipes is not suitable for everyone. Traditional medicine believes that people with Flammulina velutipes cold, spleen and stomach deficiency cold and chronic diarrhea should eat less; Patients with arthritis and lupus erythematosus should also eat carefully to avoid aggravating their illness. Don't eat too much Flammulina velutipes at a time, because it contains high fiber, and eating too much may cause diarrhea. Fresh Flammulina velutipes contains colchicine, which is easily oxidized to produce toxic colchicine, which has a strong * * * effect on gastrointestinal mucosa and respiratory mucosa. Generally, symptoms such as dry throat, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea will appear within 30 minutes to 4 hours after eating. After eating in large quantities, it may also cause serious symptoms such as fever, imbalance of water and electrolyte, bloody stool and hematuria. Colchicine is easily soluble in water and will be destroyed after sufficient heating. Therefore, fresh Flammulina velutipes should be soaked in cold water for 2 hours before eating; When cooking, Flammulina velutipes should be cooked soft and thoroughly, so that colchicine will decompose when heated; When cold-mixed, in addition to soaking in cold water, you should also blanch with boiling water to make it cooked thoroughly. Because the lesion site of oyster liver cancer patients is in the liver, most patients will have nodules or masses of different sizes in the liver, and sometimes a hard lump with uneven surface and small nodules can be felt in the right upper abdomen of patients. Foods with the function of softening and resolving hard mass can help shrink tumors, and oysters are such good products. Moreover, because of liver injury and hepatocyte necrosis, the liver function of patients with liver cancer will be seriously damaged, and oysters also have the function of protecting liver. Functional oyster meat is salty, astringent and slightly cold. Meridian of heart, spleen, liver and kidney. It has the effects of calming the liver and suppressing yang, softening and resolving hard mass, and astringing and astringent. Modern research shows that oyster meat is rich in glycogen, protein, amino acids, taurine, glutathione, fatty acids, vitamins and inorganic salts. Oyster * * * has the following effects: 1. Anti-tumor: Oyster extract can inhibit the growth of many tumor cells such as liver cancer, intestinal cancer, lung cancer, gastric adenocarcinoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, cervical cancer and leukemia cells. Experiments show that oyster polysaccharide can not only inhibit the growth of tumor cells, but also inhibit the growth of vascular endothelial cells and block the formation of tumor neovascularization, thus inhibiting the growth and metastasis of tumors. 2. Immune enhancement: Oyster extract can increase the activity of lymphocytes and NK cells, improve the body's humoral immunity and cellular immunity, and restore and alleviate the immune hypofunction caused by tumor consumption or chemotherapy drugs. 3. Liver protection: Oyster extract can obviously improve and repair the histological degeneration and necrosis of hepatocytes, inhibit the increase of alanine aminotransferase (GPT) and aspartate aminotransferase (GOT) caused by liver injury, and has a good protective effect on the liver. 4. Others: Oysters also have health-care functions such as lowering blood fat, lowering blood sugar, lowering blood pressure, antioxidation, anti-fatigue, antibiosis and radiosensitization. Patients with liver cancer, malignant lymphoma and other tumors are suitable to eat oysters to help fight cancer and enhance the immune function of the body, especially when the tumor has lymph node metastasis, eating oysters is helpful to shrink the tumor. Eating oysters during radiotherapy and chemotherapy can also enhance the anti-tumor effect. Many kinds of tumors are prone to liver metastasis, and many chemical drugs have toxic and side effects that damage liver function, so eating oysters for tumor patients can play a very good role in protecting liver. It is also beneficial for tumor patients with hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia and hypertension to eat oysters often. Oysters are cold, and those with cold constitution should use them with caution. Patients with liver cancer can also eat turtle shell, seaweed, mussels, kelp and so on. Enhance the anti-tumor effect; Edible Phyllanthus emblica, grape, papaya, Siraitia grosvenorii, jujube, sweet potato, soybean, etc. Can strengthen liver protection; Edible Hericium erinaceus, Dioscorea opposita, Lentinus edodes, Kiwi, Coicis Semen, etc. Can enhance the body's immune function.
