Chinese Physician TCM Herbs -- Is Chinese Medicine Compatible with Chemotherapy?

Chinese Physician TCM Herbs -- Is Chinese Medicine Compatible with Chemotherapy?

A patient came to see me through the introduction of his brother. He said he had liver cancer and unfortunately this time was a recurrence. He had gone through chemotherapy about one and half year ago. And this time he was going through another round of chemotherapy. He said that he did not take Chinese medicine since his first chemotherapy. This time he wanted to take Chinese medicine so that he would not feel so “辛苦xin gu” (suffering).

Although the chemotherapy cost him a lot of money, he was willing to undergo the suffering and trauma as he wanted to survive.

He asked me if he could take Chinese medicine while having chemotherapy. I told him that many patients in China do so with no ill-effects. Generally, it is observed that patients are likely be in a better condition to undergo chemotherapy as they would be able to have more energy, feel less tired, eat better, digest better, sleep better and move bowels better.

I told him that as this was his second round of chemotherapy, he should make sure that his resistance was not weakened. He should continue to have vitality, vigour, strength (生命力, 活力, 体力) in order to fight cancer cells.

According to TCM, once a person is weaken, the cancer cells are likely to overwhelm him, just like in a battlefield, when your soldiers are weak, the enemy will triumph. TCM herbs are to help him to have more energy and strength as well as to enable him to feel less tired, eat better, digest better, sleep better and move bowels better (睡得着, 吃得下, 放得出—精神好).

TCM Block-Nose-triggered Headache, Blur Vision and Fluid Accumulation

Recently, a male patient came to see me. He complained he had block-nose for the last 10 years and tended to have running nose in the morning when he woke up.

The last few days he suffered a great deal because of his block-nose. Firstly, his right nose was severely blocked; the left nose was not so bad. Secondly the block-nose triggered headache on the right side of his head. Thirdly, he felt that there was some fluid retention below his right eye and his right eye vision was blurred.

He was doubtful if I could cure him of his condition. He was reserved and did not disclose much information about his problem. I treated him with acupuncture. He was quite dreadful of acupuncture esp. as it was done on the sensitive areas around his nose and below his eye. I assured him that it is OK as I do it to many of my patients every day and he need not worry about it. Ten minutes after the acupuncture needles were inserted around his nose, I asked how he felt. He replied that his left nose had cleared a lot and his right nose about 30%. I also told him to do some breathing exercise on and off during the acupuncture process. At this point, he seemed to have more confidence and he started talking a lot.

After the acupuncture treatment, he said that his headache was much less and he could breathe much better with his nose. I told him that in about 2 to 3 days’ time with my herbal medicine, he should feel much better and the vision in his right eye should also be back to normal.

.....................................................................................

He came back for a second visit to my clinic and said that he could breathe much better and his headache, blur vision and fluid retention were all gone.

I have many patients who had blocked nose problem. One was a woman who had blocked nose for the last two years and with the prolonged blocked nose, she had lost her sense of smell. Another was a man who had “Sleep Apnea Syndrome” (”阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征”). He needed to use a Pad Machine to help him breathe when he slept.
