What is the Chinese medicine definition of leukemia? What are the Chinese medicine treatments for leukemia?

Chinese medicine is unable to diagnose and treat leukemia, which is a blood disease discovered after the development of modern medicine. Chinese medicine does not even have hematology, anatomy, or laboratory tests, so how can it detect bone marrow lesions. Because we do not know the cause of the disease, for the symptoms of leukemia, Chinese medicine can only be in accordance with the patient's illness after the manifestation of the disease (like a cold), naturally, the medicine is not the right medicine, leukemia can not be cured, but may add a new disease. Some people will say that recently not that arsenic can cure leukemia, not the work of Chinese medicine? Suggest that you first go to see how the researchers are using arsenic to treat leukemia article, look at their analytical methods, diagnostic techniques, observation techniques, drug processing and preparation methods are completely modern medicine, where there is a Chinese medicine decoction, boiled, yin and yang and five elements of the content in it. Do not listen to the belief that arsenic can cure leukemia go directly to eat arsenic, or else the fate with Wu Da Lang is almost the same. Again, there are many types of leukemia, have to confirm the diagnosis to set the treatment plan, now the success rate of Western medicine to cure leukemia is very high, do not because you can save a large sum of money to see the Western medicine on the choice to eat Chinese medicine, otherwise the money spent on the contrary, the condition is delayed.

Many people are still in awe of leukemia, and will shudder when they hear the name of the disease. Leukemia is divided into acute and chronic, and in chronic leukemia, it is divided into chronic granulocytic leukemia and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Today we will focus on chronic granulocytic leukemia.

Chronic Myelocytic Leukemia (CML) is characterized by progressive increase in peripheral blood granulocytes, predominantly medium and late granulocytes, and splenomegaly. Chronic Myelocytic Leukemia can be clinically divided into three phases: chronic phase, accelerated phase and acute phase, with different clinical manifestations in each phase. The treatment of chronic phase can be based on traditional Chinese medicine with chemotherapy, while the accelerated phase and acute phase should be based on chemotherapy with traditional Chinese medicine. However, when using Chinese medicine treatment, it is necessary to carry out evidence-based treatment.

In chronic granulocytic leukemia, it is also more common that it is caused by heat and toxicity. Then, what are the main symptoms of this type of chronic granulomas? Generally speaking, the main fever and thirst, sore throat, mouth sores, epistaxis, blood in stool, blood in urine, large lumps under the dorsal area, or stabbing pain under the dorsal area, or severe pain in the limbs, abdominal distension and constipation, emaciation, with fatigue and weakness, shortness of breath and laziness, with a purplish-red, dull tongue, dry and yellowish moss, and a strong or fine pulse as the main symptoms.

Let's take a look at the qi and yin deficiency type. This kind of condition is usually characterized by pale face, tiredness and fatigue, shortness of breath, dizziness, tinnitus, hot flashes, spontaneous sweating, night sweating, abdominal distension, abdominal lumps that are large and hard, a pale and tender tongue or petechiae, peeling of the moss, and a weak pulse or a fine pulse. Generally speaking, the basic treatment principle is to benefit qi and nourish yin, and eliminate stasis and stagnation.

For slow granules belonging to the qi and yin deficiency type, how to use the medicine? The combination of Sheng Wei San and Diaphragm Downward Expelling Blood Stasis Tang can be used.

In the mechanism of chronic granulocytic leukemia, there are also liver and kidney yin deficiency type, and the clinical manifestations of this type of evidence, often with dizziness, dry eyes, palpitations and insomnia, tinnitus and deafness, heartburn, hot flashes and night sweats, lumps under the coils, lumbar and limb pains, tingling of the limbs, spermatorrhea or menstrual discharge, the tongue is dark red and moss less, the pulse is fine and astringent, and so on.

For chronic granulomas caused by yin deficiency of the liver and kidney, the treatment principle of nourishing the liver and kidney, eliminating blood stasis and eliminating stagnation can be adopted.

In chronic granulocytic leukemia, phlegm and stasis are also very common. Clinically, it is often characterized by scrofula and phlegm nuclei in the neck and armpits, or accumulation of lumps in the abdomen, or occasional spontaneous sweating and night sweating, but the spirit is still good, and the diet is as usual, the tongue is light red with petechiae and ecchymosis, and the moss is thin, white and greasy, or yellow, and the pulse is thin and stringy, or thin and numberless. The therapeutic principles of dispelling stasis and resolving phlegm, promoting qi circulation and dispersing knots can be adopted.

For chronic leukemia, in addition to normal treatment, prevention and conditioning are very important. Early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment are needed. If once diagnosed, attention should be paid to maintaining oral, perianal and skin hygiene, as well as prudent living and avoiding wind and cold, so as not to increase the chances of infection, and in addition to appropriate participation in physical exercise to enhance physical fitness. Of course, for this disease, you also need to increase psychological counseling, establish the faith and perseverance to overcome the disease, and maintain a happy mood.

  The first question, according to the clinical manifestations and pathogenesis of leukemia, it belongs to the categories of Chinese medicine, such as 'deficiency labor', 'dampness', 'stasis', 'phlegm nucleus' (mostly chronic), 'blood evidence', and 'heat labor' (mostly acute). The causes of the disease are mostly external and internal injuries, and the onset of the disease is mostly related to positive deficiency, heat and poison. The disease mechanism is mainly evil poison entering the blood and injuring the medulla oblongata, manifesting as mixed deficiency and mixed realities, evil realities and positive deficiencies. In the early stage of acute leukemia, the real evidence of evil poison and blood stasis is dominant, manifesting as enlarged liver, spleen, lymph nodes, bone pain, or high fever, or bleeding of skin and mucous membrane; in the late stage, the deficiency is dominant, manifesting as pale face, pale lips and claws, dizziness, shortness of breath, fatigue, and soreness of waist and legs, etc. After chemotherapy, leukemia is completely relieved. After the complete remission of leukemia through chemotherapy, there are often the performance of the evil to the positive decline, qi and yin deficiency.

  Secondly, from a large number of clinical practices, the early involvement of Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of leukemia can significantly improve the condition of patients. The adjustment of Chinese medicine to the human body is comprehensive, that is to say, Chinese medicine has obvious advantages in improving the quality of life of patients, therefore, the early involvement of Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine is very favorable to the recovery of the disease. Under the current medical conditions, the outstanding advantages of TCM are manifested in the following three aspects:

  One of them is to prolong or stop the recurrence of leukemia. After the end of chemotherapy, when the disease reaches the level of clinical cure, the application of traditional Chinese medicine to regulate the immune level of the body and restore the immune function can prolong the recurrence of leukemia or stop its recurrence. In the acute stage, leukemia requires timely application of chemotherapy, during which TCM and Chinese medicine can be used as adjuvant therapy; in the remission stage, the use of TCM and Chinese medicine can improve the quality of patient's survival, and is also effective in delaying or stopping relapse. Intervention in remission is the best entry point for TCM in leukemia.

  The second is the prevention and treatment of leukemia multidrug resistance. Chinese medicine used to have certain advantages in solving problems such as bone marrow suppression and gastrointestinal reactions, but with the advancement of science and technology as well as the emergence of symptomatic drugs from Western medicine, the advantages of Chinese medicine in this respect have gradually diminished. Medical practitioners have found in their research that leukemia cells are resistant to chemotherapy, and that the cells' own rejection mechanism of poisons, once activated, will affect the effects of chemotherapeutic drugs on leukemia cells. Chinese medicine can restore the sensitivity of leukemia cells to chemotherapy drugs, and this discovery triggered the second entry point for Chinese medicine in the treatment of leukemia.

  Third, to prevent the complications of leukemia. Once the complications of leukemia occur, it is very difficult and costly to treat, but it is much easier to prevent them, which not only reduces the physical pain of the patients, but also reduces the economic burden of the patients.

I am not a doctor, but I have been exposed to Chinese medicine and Western medicine, and naturally I have communicated with doctors more. Nowadays, Chinese doctors do not use pure Chinese medicine to see patients, take pulse, diagnose and treat them, and most of them use a combination of Chinese and Western medicine.

With the development of modern western medicine, national medicine has a special traditional healing effect.

Seventy-eight or ninety years old Chinese medicine practitioners, but also look at all kinds of laboratory reports (auxiliary diagnosis), they receive education in the Chinese medicine profession, working in the medical post, is in the country to guide the integration of Chinese and Western medicine period

Leukemia does not exist in TCM, and even if it is diagnosed as such by Western medicine, TCM practitioners should not be limited by the colorful word "leukemia". Treatment should be carried out according to the patient's clinical symptoms, the cause of the disease, the deficiency, the actuality, the cold and the heat, and the level of treatment. Most patients are treated with Angelica sinensis to replenish the blood, Tang, and Shengmusan, which emphasizes the use of Radix Astragali, plus Cornu Cervi Pantotrichum to strengthen the qi and consolidate detachment of blood.

Leukemia is a kind of blood poison and can produce parasites of a virus, the main reason is caused by wet resistance, Chinese medicine can be cured, it is also a kind of modern medicine dragged out of the virus, at the beginning of the human body's blood withered and knotted, blood system is blocked to the occurrence of this disease, due to the use of Western medicine with the use of radiotherapy with the means of hanging liquid, it not only did not directly kill the white blood cells but also aggravate the condition, always make the patient die! In fact, leukemia was first diagnosed in the very early days! In fact, leukemia has been recorded in the very early ancient medical books, it is a kind of blood inflammation, like we pull a piece of stool in the ground in the morning, the next day, is the equivalent of our blood is bad, it is called leukemia, the ancient book called blood. The treatment is to clear the dampness and transform the blood, set aside the poison with the blood, and slightly tonify the liver and kidney and the marrow to achieve a cure. I have a study of this disease, I have treated several cases, the fourth case finally figured out the formula and cure, the fourth case of patients 7 years old now alive, three years have not received such a case.
