Why Western medicine has not been able to conquer cancer so far

Why can't Western medicine conquer cancer so far? This is a question that many people are puzzled about. Western medicine has always been the mainstream medicine. The country will strongly support Western medicine in scientific research, invest a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and develop advanced medical equipment. All of these revolve around Western medicine. It can be said that Western medicine has the best time, place and people in the current medical community. Western medicine has such superior conditions, why can't it conquer cancer so far?

First of all, we need to start with the understanding of the causes of cancer. Western medicine believes that the fundamental cause of cancer is due to the low immune function of the human body, but Chinese medicine believes that this is one of the reasons, but not the most fundamental reason. The most fundamental reason is the disorder of the immune system. It is because of the disorder of the immune system that the imbalance of yin and yang in the human body is caused by the low immune function. The reason for the disorder of the immune system is the unbalanced yin and yang of the human body. "Where evil gathers, its qi must be weak" will exist for a long time, which will produce endogenous and exogenous stimulation, and the toxic gas in the human body will increase. The human body relies on the balance of yin and yang, smooth circulation of qi and blood, and sound function of internal organs to maintain the normal progress of life activities. When toxic gas enters the human body, all balances will be disrupted, which will cause immune system disorders.

When it comes to the causes of cancer, Western medicine simply attributes it to a weak immune system, but does not fundamentally address the issue of why the immune system is weak. Even if the immune system is weak, there are congenital and acquired causes, so treatment must start from the root. Secondly, it lies in the basis for judging whether cancer has formed. As we all know, the main basis for Western medicine to judge diseases is sound and image. This technology has indeed brought great convenience to the treatment of Chinese and Western medicine, and has provided a basis for many diseases. However, Western medicine still has certain disadvantages in using sound and image as a reference. If an abnormality is found in a certain part, it will make a judgment based on its size and shape, whether it is a tumor, polyp, cyst or other. These cannot give results immediately, but further pathological biopsy is required. Otherwise, whether it is benign or malignant, no conclusion can be given, and only "suspected cancer" can be written on the diagnosis. This cannot accurately judge the condition and create a favorable opportunity for treatment.

The best time to defeat cancer is in the early stages of the disease. If the patient is in the late stages and is incurable, even the most advanced equipment, the most effective drugs, and the most skilled doctors are powerless. Therefore, the best time to treat cancer is in the early stages. However, another problem arises: many patients are usually in the middle or late stages of the disease when they are diagnosed with cancer. Why is the chance of early cancer being discovered so low?

This is because cancer is divided according to the stage of the disease. When the disease has not yet formed, is forming, or is in the early stages of formation, it is a functional disease. No typical symptoms appear at this stage, and the patient himself is unaware of it. The current equipment used by Western medicine cannot detect it. Why? Because Western medicine respects the evidence-based theory, which is to emphasize evidence. However, the evidence required by Western medicine can only be obtained in the middle and late stages of cancer. At this time, it is an organic disease and all the symptoms have appeared. This is evidence to follow. These visible characteristics and various test indicators can ultimately enable doctors to determine cancer. Therefore, Western medicine has no way to treat early-stage cancer and it cannot prevent it before it happens.

Chinese medicine pays great attention to finding the root cause during the diagnosis process, so in everyone's impression, the treatment effect of Chinese medicine is very slow. However, Chinese medicine treats both the symptoms and the root cause. Chinese medicine usually adopts dialectical treatment because many Chinese doctors believe that no one's disease is the same. Even for the same disease, the prescriptions used are different. Some people even think that Chinese medicine is very wordy because the doctor will ask a lot of questions, such as the current reaction, chills, fever, pain, abdominal distension, abdominal pain, location, time, sweating, bleeding, breathing, defecation, urination, vomiting, etc. All aspects must be asked clearly, and a comprehensive analysis must be conducted to accurately locate and judge the condition and prescribe the right medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine gradually explores the causes of diseases in order to solve the problems fundamentally.

Chinese and Western medicine each have their own advantages, but Chinese medicine is very effective in preventing illness. That is, when cancer is about to form, it can remove the fire from under the cauldron and extinguish the flame at the root. However, there is a strange phenomenon among people nowadays. When Chinese medicine diagnoses a patient with early-stage cancer, the patient does not quite believe it and runs to the hospital for various tests. When the test results come out, everything is normal, and the patient is psychologically comforted, because patients also need visible evidence to believe that they are sick. This is the same as the evidence-based cycle of Western medicine. Only when symptoms appear in the middle and late stages do they believe that they really have cancer, and then they anxiously seek help. But the result of the treatment is predictable. The early treatment effect is not always satisfactory. This is a typical version of the story of "Bian Que meets Duke Huan of Cai". So we should not be afraid of seeing a doctor.

In the treatment of cancer, Western medicine commonly uses three conventional treatment methods: surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Surgery is effective in early treatment, but it is aimed at local treatment and is prone to recurrence after surgery. Although radiotherapy and chemotherapy can prevent tumor growth and metastasis of cancer cells to a certain extent, they are not suitable for all patients. Studies have found that 80% of patients cannot adapt to this treatment method, and this treatment method has great side effects, so these cannot fundamentally solve the problem.

The treatment of traditional Chinese medicine is aimed at systemic conditioning, because the causes of cancer are very complex, it is the manifestation of systemic diseases in local parts of the body, so to treat cancer, we must start from the root. In addition, Chinese herbal medicine is safe and has no side effects. It is a very good conditioning for patients who have cancer. Traditional Chinese medicine is very targeted and can strengthen the body, remove blood stasis, remove phlegm, replenish qi, promote blood circulation, etc. Cancers caused by different reasons can be treated from different angles, so as to enhance physical fitness, regulate the balance of yin and yang, and the circulation of internal organs, and finally make the human body's immunity reach a balance in the self-heating state.

Drug treatment does not act directly on the diseased site, but achieves the purpose of treatment by acting on the body's functions. In this respect, Chinese and Western medicine are different. Chinese medicine restores the functions of human organs through conditioning, allowing them to operate normally, that is, to make them self-reliant. Western medicine treatment mainly replaces human organs to perform this function, so Western medicine treatment is effective quickly for a period of time, but after a period of time, when the medicine is no longer needed, the function of this organ is lost and the condition becomes more unstable. If Western medicine cannot detect cancer in its early stages and fundamentally solve the problem of treatment methods, then it will not be able to conquer cancer so far. Traditional Chinese medicine will become more and more involved in cancer treatment and step onto the treatment stage with its advantages.
