Why do so many people believe that TCM can really cure cancer?

Why do so many people believe that TCM can really cure cancer?

Can Chinese medicine cure cancer?There's no evidence.The cancer is not cured by any one person, there must be objective criteria. Whether cancer is cured or not, it is not up to any one person to say, there has to be an objective standard. Some charlatans are very ridiculous, and when the tumor shrinks a little bit, they say, "Look, this medicine is divine, right? I can cure cancer. There is a very interesting and also ridiculous phenomenon, someone with terminal cancer, if the Western medicine, the tumor shrinks, the doctor will pull the family aside, the tumor shrinks, of course, this is happy, but ultimately can not be cured, you have to be prepared for oh, you see, report the good news, this is the rationality, objectivity. And if it is jianghu langzhong, will say, you see, my medicine how god, you this cancer I can cure. Cured, that is, no more recurrence, not die from this cancer in the future.Doctors at the formal National University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Chinese medicine hospitals do not have the courage to say that Chinese medicine cures cancer, or at most that it can be used as an adjunctive therapy.Those who say that Chinese medicine can cure cancer are folklorists. Some people will say that the real masters are in the folklore. That's wrong in the head.The real masters will not always be in the folk, especially the cure of such things, can not hide, really have this ability, you think about it, how can always hide in the folk sneaky, especially in the online message everywhere, especially in the nickname also with QQ number or cell phone number or micro-signal, you think about it, his purpose is to ask you to contact him, to cheat you a hand. You don't have to know anything about medicine, just think about it with basic logic, this is definitely impossible.

Do not say that I Chinese medicine black, I do not black Chinese medicine, I welcome and very much hope that more do not deny any possibility, but to come up with evidence ah(Some people say, I have been cured is the evidence ah, dizzy, where is the evidence of your own say? You have to have a recognized third party, you have to have long-term follow-up data, took your medicine, and then did not come back to you, you think the cure? (He may have gone to the hospital for treatment, or he may have died). A charlatan is a charlatan, and when I just said that, he would often say, let's make a bet, I'm dizzy, how is this a bet? He says, you cure ten, I'll cure ten. And that's it? Whether it is a cure or not, you have to follow up, and then accumulate data, not just whether the tumor has shrunk after treatment. May I ask these charlatans whether they have any follow-up data? Do these doctors have any follow-up data? Do you know how much work he has to do? He doesn't publish academic articles. He doesn't publish academic articles, does he follow up? He doesn't care about that. He's just looking at his so-called medicines to make people feel better. When I say that, he's not going to be convinced.Don't be disconcerting to me, that won't work, I very much hope you have it, what a wonderful thing to do for the benefit of the whole world. Well, if this is an application to the stateYou don't have to worry about your so-called secret recipes getting out, you'll be dead for life, you'll be around for ages.There is such a good thing, you actually still hide online everywhere message also in the nickname to leave QQ number, cell phone number, micro-signal this means? What do you say?

Chinese medicine cures cancer, this I believe. Because I am the one who studied Chinese medicine. I have treated a leukemia patient with TCM massage. That person is a leukemia patient, she has been in our massage for a few months. Her white blood cells used to be more than 100 at the lowest level, and then they were more than 30. Her body was healthy and she had more energy to do things. Then she stopped doing it. I told her that even though all aspects are normal, she should continue to do it. Because this disease is leukemia. It's not a normal disease.

Then it came back, badly, and she came back a couple times. It got better, and then she didn't come again. Then it got serious again, and she never came again! Probably not now. It's a pity!

Cancer, AIDS are actually treatable. But it is more difficult to keep it from recurring. Patients usually want to get better, but they can't afford to spend the money. After spending a few thousand dollars, they feel that it is too much money to give up.

And cancer, especially on the surface of the body, is a little bit easier. Cancer is formed by starting to produce nodules, nodules continue to clog and become cysts, cysts clog again and become benign tumors, benign tumors continue to clog and become malignant tumors, cancer. We can unclog the malignant tumor and it gets better and better.

There is a person next to us who has advanced lung cancer. I tried to treat her, but she didn't believe me, so I just said it was up to her!

Our country had a population of 40,000,000,000 people forty-nine years ago, making it the most populous country in the world. This was thanks to Chinese medicine. After the liberation Mao Zedong advocated the use of the ancient for the modern, the foreign for the Chinese, and the combination of Chinese and Western medicine. To liberate all the things that bind the hands and feet of the people. The barefoot doctors were even more competent in both Chinese and Western medicine. China's population grew dramatically. It reached 800 million. Later, it increased to 1.4 billion. This is all due to the combined effect of Chinese and Western medicine, Chinese people can be so many.

Don't hack Chinese medicine. In fact, it is useless to hack Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine has been in China for thousands of years, with a long and profound history, you black him he is as profound as ever. Chinese medicine theory in front of the modernization of medicine, seems to be old and vicissitudes. But Chinese medicine has now been injected with new theories, new flyover and development is brewing. Only the traitors and lackeys with their eyes wide open can't see the progress of Chinese medicine. A hard black. It is all a mantis.

Chinese medicine has a wide mass base and countless medical institutions in China. With the popularization and deepening of Chinese medicine theories and books, Chinese medicine will surely flourish in the world, and modern Western medical research will be more and more inseparable from Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. The fact that Tu Youyou got the Nobel Prize is an example.

The gradual massification of Chinese medicine is the basis for the development of Chinese medicine, a knowledge base, everyone in the Chinese nation, to a certain age, will have some knowledge of Chinese medicine. And it is easy to use and get beneficial treatment. The development of Chinese medicine is also in constant depth, the future of more international level of Chinese medicine will benefit the Chinese people and the people of the world.

The modernization of Chinese medicine is an inevitable path. Chinese medicine is the accumulation of thousands of years of history, there is the essence, there are dregs, without transformation completely inherited will only go to the dead end. However, the dialectical thinking of Chinese medicine is very desirable. Chinese medicine from nature's gift to make its vitality tenacious, the cultural heritage of Chinese medicine has thousands of essence, each person can only appreciate one or two of them. The only way to make a breakthrough is to modernize, intensify and conduct large-scale research.

In this ravaging of the coronavirus, Chinese medicine practitioners have only taken out a thousand-year-old formula and summarized it briefly, and it has shown a good therapeutic effect. We have only interpreted it as enhancing the physical fitness of the patients, and the deeper scientific reasoning is actually far from being unraveled. I believe more in-depth discussions will be conducted in the future.

Therefore, it is not far from the time when TCM cures cancer and cures all kinds of difficult diseases including cancer in large quantities!

To date, cancer is not cured. Some people speak of cancer being cured, which is an unstrict term. Some cancer patients have been treated with modern medicine and have no signs of cancer on their bodies, but they can only be called in remission because there is still a possibility of recurrence and regular check-ups are still needed. There are cancer survivors who are checked every five years and have no problems, and the possibility of recurrence cannot be completely ruled out.

To achieve the goal of keeping cancer under control, or even to achieve the absence of signs of cancer, relies on modern medical methods. In recent years, modern medicine has made rapid progress in cancer treatment. In terms of the five-year survival rate of cancer patients, it has changed dramatically compared with that of a few decades ago, and cancer treatment methods are constantly being innovated and improved.

Chinese medicine is at the other end of the spectrum, offering nothing worthwhile and often harmful in terms of cancer treatment. It is precisely because of its eye on the fat meat of cancer treatment that it bites the bullet. Cancer treatment, especially the treatment of advanced cancer patients, is the hardest-hit area of Chinese medicine. Both regular Chinese medicine practitioners and private Chinese medicine practitioners are scrambling to make money in this area, making money without conscience.

The reason why many people believe that Chinese medicine can cure cancer is that many people always fantasize that they can cure cancer, and with this kind of unrealistic thinking, they are easily deceived. The second reason is that many people are prone to misbelieve in the words of others, believing in the words of any cat or dog, instead of trusting reliable experts, authoritative organizations and science. Thirdly, Chinese medical personnel in China have a very serious Chinese medicine mindset, resulting in the public not having a clear understanding of Chinese medicine.

If you want to live, you have to get out of the dry well of superstitious Chinese medicine.

Regardless of the white cat or black cat, the one that can be cured and produce evidence is a good cat! There is no need to pull out any subtle theories, bring out the CT images of the patient's tumor before and after treatment, and use facts to speak more than anything else!

The people can see whether it is a mule or a horse for a walk and whether it is good or not!

Let's just talk about two issues and use evidence:

Can Western Medicine Cure Cancer? Can Chinese medicine cure cancer?

Let's start with Western medicine for cancer

If one pays attention, there should be people in every village who have undergone stomach cancer surgery and breast cancer surgery and survived for a long time. So we won't give such simple examples. Look at a few more complicated ones:

This 59 year old male with a history of hepatitis B for many years had two small simultaneous liver cancers in his liver. Minimally invasive treatment with radiofrequency ablation was used to scald the tumors, and it has been five and a half years now with no recurrence:


The arrows show the traces left over from the ablation of the cancer cells in the first place.

Below is another middle-aged male, a veteran smoker, who was found to have left-sided peripheral squamous lung cancer with cavitation because of a persistent cough:

The cancer had not spread enough to be removed surgically intact, and the picture below shows his review this year, three and a half years on, with no recurrence:

So we can recognize by this evidence that cancer can be cured if it is detected in time! Such cases of cure are encountered almost every day; there are simply too many cancers.

Besides, Chinese medicine cures cancer.

The hospital where Dr. Howe works is a tertiary general hospital, and the radiology department sees more than 5-6 cancer patients every day, some treated with Western medicine, some treated with Chinese medicine, and some given up on any treatment and left to their fate.

After so many years, I have only seen two cancer patients who have been controlled by herbal treatments and whose tumors have been stable and slow to develop for a long period of time.

Dr. Howe is not biased against either Chinese or Western medicine, and hopes that Chinese medicine masters will speak with evidence! alsoYou don't need to publish the secret formula, just show the CT pictures before and after the treatment to see if the tumor really disappeared after the secret formula treatment, this is definitely more convincing!

Honestly.Chinese medicine does have advantages in pain relief, bone setting, blood circulation, and regulating some chronic diseases, but I really haven't seen any strong evidence in the treatment of cancer. Rather, I have encountered many charlatans, fooling patients to take dozens of pairs of Chinese medicine at a time, black hearted ......

I'm Dr. Howe in Imaging, and I look forward to everyone speaking with evidence!

It is true that Chinese medicines have anti-cancer effects, such as the red beansprouts, the half-lotus, the white-flower snakeweed, the toadstool and so on, and in the future, people will find more Chinese medicines with anti-cancer effects. Chinese medicine also has a very good effect on supporting positive qi and strengthening the body's immunity. Chinese medicine can also provide comprehensive treatment for cancer patients and inhibit the development of cancer.

However, modern Western medicine has entered the molecular stage in the treatment of cancer, and Western medicine has become more and more precise in the treatment of cancer. Currently, the means of treatment has broken through to the inside of cells, and the drugs enter the inside of cells like missiles in a targeted manner to kill cancer cells. At present, there have been breakthroughs in cell-targeted therapy and immunotherapy, which have been reported frequently. Therefore, the possibility of completely treating cancer in the future is targeted therapy and immunotherapy. It is because Western medicine can make a very precise analysis and mastery of cancer. Therefore, Western medicine will definitely be at the forefront of cancer treatment and take the lead in developing highly effective drugs for cancer treatment.

Chinese medicine will not be outdated, and it will also utilize new plants to purify Je or new formulas for treatment. However, because the treatment methods of Chinese medicine are backward, coupled with the fact that Chinese medicine is rather crude, it is difficult to develop drugs that can thoroughly treat cancer. For example, Paclitaxel for cancer treatment, although using plant extracts, was developed by Western medicine. If Chinese medicine practitioners had also discovered the anticancer effects of this type of plant, they would still be using the bark of the sequoia tree, which contains paclitaxel, to make soup to drink. This is just a matter of how much of the bark is used up, not counting how many side effects there will be if you drink it this way, and whether you can reach the amount needed for treatment each time you use it. Therefore, Chinese medicine practitioners should change the method of using medicines and take the way of purification and fine treatment. However, Chinese medicine now has an irreplaceable position in the treatment of cancer as an adjuvant therapy. Comprehensive regulation of Chinese medicine plays an important role in strengthening immunity and resistance.

Why do so many people believe that TCM can really cure cancer?

Thanks for the invite!

Chinese medicine and Western medicine (precisely the motherland medicine and modern medicine) have their own strengths and weaknesses, and should respond to Chairman Mao's instruction to implement the combination of Chinese and Western medicine to better serve the patients.

For cancer, we should have a correct understanding: cancer is a malignant tumor, when the body endocrine disorders, mental stimulation, malnutrition, lowered immunity and heredity and other intrinsic factors on the basis of the influence of the external environment in the physical, chemical and biological factors on the basis of the influence of the body's body of the cell chromosome of an organ mutation, the cell undergoes a series of changes, the formation of cancerous cells, fast-growing, "anarchic state", not only take away the nutrition, but also produce toxins, seriously damage human health. The cancer cells grow rapidly and in an "anarchic state", not only seizing nutrients, but also producing toxins, which seriously jeopardize the health of the human body. This disease, which can occur at all ages, is a common one for the elderly. (For more information about cancer, please refer to my introduction in Goku Quiz).

In Chinese medicine, there is no name of "cancer" in ancient books and masterpieces. In the 1970s, I was placed in the rural areas as a doctor, found a middle-aged woman looking for Chinese medicine practitioners, went up to the diagnosis, found that its left mammary gland has a lump, the left axillary lymph nodes enlarged as a dragon's-eye nucleus, suspected to be breast cancer? She was recommended to go to Shantou Regional People's Hospital for diagnosis. After diagnosis, the woman was unwilling to have surgery, thinking that Chinese medicine could cure her. I tried to persuade her but to no avail. She died a few months later.

During my time as a doctor in the countryside, I have seen a charlatan doctor in the town of Londo, who claimed to be a "cancer master", and as a result, a post-operative patient with stomach cancer and a patient with bladder cancer died after being treated - cheated out of their money and lost their lives. -Whoops!

Medicine has evolved to the point where there are now a variety of ways to treat cancer. The important thing is to have regular medical check-ups for early detection and surgery. As for traditional Chinese medicine, it is also necessary to discover effective therapeutic drugs and treatment methods. At least, they can help to support the right and drive away the evil, and play a certain auxiliary role, which cannot be completely rejected and excluded. I do not agree with the "eight non-treatments" of Chinese medicine in the chart below. Should be "to save lives and practice humanitarianism!" It is right. Adopting the new model of integrating Chinese and Western medicine - "Social, Psychological and Biological Model" - for treatment is the right way.

Don't "talk about cancer", in case of cancer, we should have the spirit of revolutionary optimism, set up a strong belief in overcoming the disease, abide by the doctor's advice, rationalize life arrangements, diet, diet and appropriate activities, appropriate physical activity, regulate mental life, keep the spirit of happiness, under the guidance of the doctor, the application of Chinese and Western medicine, to improve the ability to resist the disease, which is necessary to overcome the disease and restore health! This is the necessary condition to overcome the disease and restore health!

The above is for your reference.

Thanks for reading.



I have not personally seen Chinese medicine cured cancer patients, but personally seen a hospital has been rejected, let go home and wait for death of the leukemia child so that Chinese medicine cured, although can not say that completely cured, intermittent to drink a long time of traditional Chinese medicine, but he was next to me like a normal child as alive and jumping, it is difficult to imagine that this is a hospital have given up on the child, to give you this, the Western medicine which is ill where the treatment of this problem, once the sick place is not the root of the disease, the need to treat the body as a whole, basically blind, so Western medicine on cancer, leukemia, even including high blood pressure, diabetes, and so nothing. The place where the disease is not the root of the disease, the need to treat the human body as a whole to diagnosis and treatment, basically blind, so Western medicine on cancer, leukemia, even including hypertension, diabetes are clueless.

"Reassuringly", the latest survey shows that nearly 40% of U.S. adults believe that cancer can be cured with alternative therapies alone, without the need for standard treatment.

Many people believe that TCM can really cure cancer.

If you share this view, then you are not alone, you have many like-minded people in China.

It's gratifying."The thing is, in the United States, the center of the scientific and medical world, a new survey conducted by the American Society of Clinical Oncology shows that close to 40% of American adults believe that cancer can be cured by alternative therapies alone, without the need for standard therapies.

Twenty-two percent of those surveyed were cancer patients and 38% were caregivers of cancer patients.

Intriguing and surprisingWhat's more, the survey shows that the younger the person, the higher the percentage of people who hold this belief. nearly half (47%) of the 18-37 age group hold this belief, 44% of the 38-53 age group, a plummeting 30% of the 54-71 age group, and only 21% of the 72 and older age group.

Ginger is still old and hot, this saying in this originally very scientific issue again to verify, negligence is quite ironic. In fact, it is not surprising, the so-called see a lot of knowledge.

Also, it shows that the level of scientific literacy among young Americans is a worrying one, too.

Why do so many people believe that TCM can really cure cancer?

Chinese medicine is categorized under alternative medicine in the United States.

Why is it that so many people are Chinese medicine can really cure cancer?

The reasons are no more than the following:

Lack of proper public awareness of cancer

This is not surprising; medical issues are highly specialized issues and the lack of proper understanding by the general public is a normal social phenomenon.

Of course, another aspect also shows that the relevant government and professional organizations, as well as professional workers, have not done enough to disseminate knowledge.

Misled by professionals

Both professionals and misinformation here contain two meanings:

Some of the so-called professionals are true professionals, i.e., specialized doctors; some are frauds cloaked as professionals, such as in this case is such frauds who are scamming people.

Some of the so-called misinformation is unintentional because of a misunderstanding in their own understanding; some are intentionally flimsy out of interest.

The belief that it is better to believe in something than to have it

It's not just cancer, but people tend to lose their rationality in sticking to the evidence for many things, especially when they have a serious stake in the matter, and choose to believe the narrative that is more favorable to their interests in terms of the outcome.

Specifically for diseases, especially difficult to treat diseases, people tend to be treatable, curable methods rather than believe that there is a disease.

How do you put cancer in perspective?

Cancer, still an incurable disease

Cancer is, essentially, a genetic disease.

So far, and for the foreseeable future, there is no way to detect and completely repair mutated genes in time; nor is there a way to remove cancerous genes, as well as to completely remove cancerous cells and ensure that they do not return (recur). Therefore, cancer will remain an incurable disease for as long as can be expected.

Cancer is a treatable disease

Being theoretically incurable does not equate to cancer being untreatable.

In fact, current medicine has developed optimized treatments for all cancers, known as standard therapies. Typically, these standard therapies result in "standard" (statistically significant average)of treatment efficacy, specifically 1-, 2-, and 5-year survival rates are commonly used to evaluate this efficacy.

Cancer treatment has come a long way in recent decades. In the case of acute leukemia in adults, which has always been regarded as a terminal disease, three major breakthroughs in treatment have been achieved, with the five-year survival rate rising from 20 percent in the 1970s to 40 percent in the 1990s to more than 60 percent in recent years.

Incurability and clinical cure of cancer

There is a large body of evidence that proves that, with treatment, once tumor-free survival exceeds 5 years, many cancer patients are likely to be free of recurrence for a long time, or even for the rest of their lives (until they die of another cause). Therefore, 5 years of tumor-free survival is often referred to as a clinical cure in medicine.

However, as mentioned above, the causes of cancer and the hidden danger of recurrence are not completely eradicated, and even those who are clinically cured cannot ensure that the cancer will not return. Thus, clinical cure and true cure are not exactly the same concept.

On this point, many doctors, even oncologists, have misconceptions and inevitably mislead their patients.

There is no evidence that any alternative treatment can cure cancer

One of the most basic concepts of modern medicine is evidence-based medicine. It simply means that you have to speak with evidence.

The therapeutic effects of both pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies for the disease in question need to be validated through clinical trials that meet the requirements of evidence-based medicine protocols, and the results of that validation are evidence.

In the case of traditional Chinese medicine, there are also many varieties of Chinese medicine that are undergoing phase III clinical trials in the United States, in an attempt to pass the FDA's scrutiny and be accepted as drugs with the safety and efficacy of generic drugs. For example, the famous Salvia divinorum pills have been in trials in the United States and other countries around the world for more than 20 years, and the results are still inconclusive.

As for TCM methods for "curing" cancer, presumably Qi, no manufacturer is going to throw money into the water of a clinical trial - with the expectation of not getting the desired results.

Therefore, not only is there no such thing now, there will not be any evidence that alternative medicine therapies, including TCM, can cure cancer in the foreseeable forever.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Thoughts on Cancer

First, clinical experience confirms that cancer is a chronic disease.

Secondly, major diseases like cancer are named after cancer cells. The three axes of Western medicine, namely, surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, also target cancer cells.

Thirdly, Chinese medicine believes that:water begets everything. How can a good cell become a cancer cell? That is because the cell by eighty percent of the water problems. Normal water becomes wastewater, Chinese medicine says that cold and dampness is too much, the wastewater does not go, the new water can not make up for the trigger.

Fourth, the millennium Chinese medicine walks thousands of years, that is, the treatment of water as the main treatment of blood as a supplement. Improve and change the internal environment of the human body, the environment in which cancer cells live has changed. Wastewater out of the new water into, there are still cancer cells?

Fifth, can you change the environment by comparing it to modern medicine with surgery and radiotherapy? A joke. Human misconceptions are far more numerous than just one type of disease, cancer.
