The Theory: The 2,000 year-old traditional Chinese medicine formulates itself upon the Yin-Yang theory, and that of Wu Xing (Five Evolutive Phases). Through the integration of traditional medicine with modern medicine, or "the combination of high tech with low tech", people will, just like the over 1.2 billion Chinese, benefit from the following major features of TCM:
- TCM treats the human body as an organic whole, taking simultaneous care of "biao", the symptoms, and "ben", the etiologic and pathogenic factors
- TCM often produces satisfactory results even with diseases for which modern medicine has not found the answers (e.g. asthma, anemia, cancer, diabetes, epilepsy, hepatitis, hemophilia, thrombocytopenia, hemiplegia, lupus erythematosus, paraplegia, rheumatoid arthritis, pediatric dementia, mental retardation, brain palsy, etc.)
- Strengths - Medicinal herbs, apart from such features as bi-directional regulating functions, causes few, or even no side effects due to their natural sources. Herbal medicine reduces the side effects of, and reinforces, the effectiveness of chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy
- Various means (massage, acupressure, exercises, medicated diet, etc.) have evolved from TCM to preserve health effectively
1. How is cancer regarded in Traditional Chinese Medicine?
Just as cancer in English is derived from the Latin word for crab, symbolizing both the hardness and the dissemination of the tumor like a crab extending its legs outward, the Chinese name is derived from the word for rock, describing the tumor's uneven surface and hard quality.
2. What causes the cancer according to TCM?
In regard to etiology and pathogenesis of cancers in traditional Chinese medicine, although there have been may expositions for different kinds of cancer, it is not taken as a local disease; it is understood as a general disease with the tumor mass as a local manifestation.
Common etiology includes "internal" and "external" causes. The former are mostly referred to as constitutional and emotional. Cancer occurs frequently in the aged with weakened constitution and lowered body resistance, particularly in those with normal functioning of the body impaired by long-term emotional depress. External causes refer to various harmful factors in the external environment, such as toxic substances in food. Chronic stimulation is also stressed.
Pathological changes are recognized on the basis of clinical manifestations. Accumulation of phlegm is usually associated the formation of hard nodular masses, particularly under the skin, such as enlarged lymph nodes in lymphoma or cancer metastasis. Damp is related to fluid discharge, in nasopharyngeal carcinoma, an accumulation of damp which may be the cause of turbid nasal discharge. Toxic heat is usually encountered in the advanced stages or in cancer with secondary infection, manifested by fever, constipation and yellow tongue coating. Accumulation of stagnated blood or blood stasis is a common pathogenic factor of tumors in the abdomen. This includes gynecological tumors, particularly if the mass is painful, palpable and tender. Another clinical feature of blood stasis is a purple tongue or purple dots or spots on the tongue. Since this phenomenon occurs so often, blood stasis is now considered a general pathogenic mechanism of the growth of many kinds of cancer.
Among all the pathogenic factors, lowered body resistance comes first. Compared with Western medicine, the above brief description of etiology and pathogenesis seems quite vague: It does not tell what specific function is impaired, and what the stagnated blood, phlegm and toxic heat are. As they are closely related to treatment, traditional consideration are still worth mentioning.
3. Herbal Medication of Cancer
Three are roughly three (3) major uses of herbal medication in the treatment of cancer. All of them have shown satisfactory results:
a. Use of herbal medication as the sole form of treatment. This is composed of three minor therapies: 1) body-resistance strengthening therapy; 2) blood-stasis-removing therapy, and 3) toxic-heat-clearing therapy.
b. Use of traditional therapy as an adjunct to surgical resection. Surgical intervention is certainly the most effective treatment of cancer if resection in indicated, but only a small percentage of cancer patients can benefit from surgery. In many cases, spread of the tumor with metastasis renders radical resection impossible. Even when the tumor has been totally removed at the early stage, there is still danger of recurrence. This makes sense from the traditional medical point of view, which holds that cancer is not only a local lesion and that lowered body resistance is the primary cause.
c. Use of herbal medication with chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy. In this use, herbal medication can reduce toxic and side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Moreover, it can also increase sensitivity to chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
These years, a brand new theory and practice for cancer treatment - Comprehensive Therapy for Cancer via Herbal Medicine - is being well-accepted at home, and abroad, by cancer patients, especially those who have missed chances for operations, or are insensitive to radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy.
Comprehensive Therapy for Cancer via Herbal Medicine is put forward by Doc. Zhang Ran Ji. His book "New Ways to Treat Cancer with Herbal Medicine" was published by Science & Technology Literature Press in 1992. So far two more editions have been released.
By Comprehensive Therapy for Cancer via Herbal Medicine, it is meant to use the cancer treatment of cleansing heat and clearing poison from within the body, smoothing the "qi" and blood, so that the balance of the patient's bodily mechanisms are restored, and the resistance against the proliferation of cancer cells is improved, thus the cancerous part in the body is either controlled or cured. The herbs used in this therapy fall mainly into the "cool and cold" categories, plus the herbs with "qi-regulating" and blood-activating functions. The herbs with super tonifying functions or poisonous qualities are avoided in order not to increase the internal heat and/or damage the immune system, which is closely related to the prognosis. The aim at improving the capacity of the patient's immune system is not only the distinctive difference between this therapy and that of modern medicine, including that of traditional herbal therapy of "combating poison with poison", but also the key to its high efficacy.
With Comprehensive Therapy for Cancer via Herbal Medicine, Doc. Zhang Ran Ji and his daughter Zhang Da Ning have effectively treated over 100,000 of all kinds of patients from all parts of China, USA, Japan, Thailand, the former Soviet Union, etc., since 1994. Moreover, the Zhangs institute has developed a series of herbal medicines to cure cancer with such characteristics as being suitable for all kinds of cancer, highly effective and without poisonous effects.
1. What is hepatitis?
Hepatitis, in its simplest terms, is a swelling and soreness of the liver. There are, in modern medicine, three major types - Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, hepatitis is the imbalance between ‘Yin and Yang’ embodied in the organ of liver.
2. What is the role of liver according to TCM?
- The liver governs the free flow of ‘qi’.
- The liver functions to store the blood and regulate the amount of blood.
- The liver governs the tendons, with its manifestation in the nails. The tendon movement throughout the body is related to the liver functions.
- The liver opens into the eyes. The liver stores the blood, and the Liver Meridian goes upwards to connect the eye system.
- The gallbladder stores and excretes the bile. The gallbladder is attached to the liver and stores the bile.
- The liver and gallbladder are exteriorly-interiorly related. The liver and gallbladder are connected by the meridians to form an exterior-interior relation.
3. How is chronic hepatitis identified and treated?
a. Accumulation of Damp Due to Spleen Deficiency
Main Manifestations: Pain in the liver region, jaundice, dark yellow color of the skin and sclera, poor appetite, fullness and distention of the abdomen, loose stool, fatigue and lassitude, tastelessness in the mouth. White, thick and greasy tongue coating, wiry and thready pulse. Therapeutic method: Warming yang and strengthening the spleen to expel the damp.
b. Deficiency of the Liver Yin
Main Manifestations : Dull pain in the hypochondrium, dryness of eyes, dizziness, blurred vision, hot sensation in the palms and soles, soreness and weakness in the loins and knees. Dry and red tongue with little or no coating, wiry and thready pulse. Therapeutic method: Nourishing the liver yin.
c. Liver Qi Stagnation
Main Manifestations: Stabbing pain in the right hypochondrium, lumps in the hypochondrium, abdominal distention, anorexia, dark complexion, restlessness, irritability, and liver palms. Dark tongue with ecchymoses, wiry and hesitant pulse. Therapeutic method: Soothing the liver and regulating qi; activating the blood and disperse stasis.
4. Is there cure for hepatitis in the herbal medicine?
Yes. Hundreds and thousands of patients have been cured via TCM. Apart from the modern medicine (in China they call it as "Western Medicine"), there are two major means of dealing with hepatitis in TCM. One is to use decoction of different natural herbs with, or without, minerals, while the other is to use acupuncture and its derivative devices. Both means, especially the former, are very effective.
In terms of the decoction, one thing should be noticed - not every practitioner of TCM can effectively treat hepatitis. Why? Only experts in this field can write effective prescriptions (not only what materia medica to use, but also different ratios of quantities) according to the diagnosis.
Causes of this disease:
This disease results from body deficiencies. Due to the lack of correct ‘qi’, the invasion of epidemic poison from the exterior into the interior, damaging Yin and Yin of the body. When the damages reach the marrow, the interior heat steams up, hurting the blood and meridian systems. In some cases, the everlasting poison consumes ‘qi’ and blood, and consequently ‘qi’ cannot contain the blood, and the spleens cannot control the blood. The overflow of blood manifests itself in the upper part as nose bleeding, tooth bleeding, coughing blood, or vomiting blood, while in the lower part it is manifest as blood in the urine, and uterine bleeding in women. Leukemia is a disease characterized as deficiency in the correct ‘qi’, excess in the pathogens, and moreover the mixture of the two. The deficiency in Jinqi is the interior factor whereas the epidemic poison is the extraneous factor. The whole process of this disease is complicated in that the correct ‘qi’ fights with the epidemic poison, with the presence of both deficiency and excess.
Treatment of the disease
So far, the treatment of acute leukemia via the combination of modern medicine and traditional medicine is far better along than that of the treatment via chemotherapy of modern medicine and traditional herbal medicine. Traditional herbal medicine can alleviate the symptoms, treat complications, reduce the side effects of chemo- and/or radio- therapies. Meanwhile, herbal medicine can also improve the body resistance, restore the normal counts of red cells & white cells, and even eliminate the leukemic cells.
Classification of acute leukemia
There are four major categories in acute leukemia.
1. Deficiency in both Qi and Yin
Headache, weakness, paleness, low fever, warm palms and soles, self sweating, sweating during sleep, light colored tongue, thready and rapid pulse, or surging and rapid pulse. The principles of treatment constitute that of tonifying ‘qi’ and blood replenishes the Yin while eliminating pathogens. Commonly used herbs are: Astragalus membranaceus, Codonopsis pilosula, etc.
2. Excessive heat-poison
Fever, light bleeding, bone pains, swelling of liver and spleens, yellow tongue coating, rapid pulse or thready, slippery and rapid pulse. The principles of treatment are to clear the heat and alleviate the poison while restoring body resistance.
3. Heat-poison entering blood
Light or medium fever, gum, nose and skin bleedings, even the presence of bloody bubbles in the tongue body, or the swelling of lymph nodes, liver and spleens, thin and yellow tongue coating, rapid pulse. The principles of treatment are to clear the heat, alleviate the poison, to cool the blood, and stop bleeding while restoring body resistance.
4. Stagnant blood and phlegm mass
Characterized by the swelling of liver and spleens and lymph nodes, together with anemia, bleeding, low fever, stagnant blood speckles on the tongue body, rapid pulse. The treatment principle is to eliminate the stagnant blood, activate the blood, and dissolve the phlegm mass. The commonly used herbs are: Dongui, Paeonia lactiflora Pall, etc.
In traditional Herbal Medicine, this disease is divided into three categories:
1. A deficiency in both ‘qi’ and blood - yellow complexion, weak and quiet, palpitation, self-sweating, cold in the four limbs, poor appetite, loose bowel, light colored lips and tongue, swelling of the tongue, tongue coating thin and white, pulse deep and weak or thready and rapid. The treatment principles consist in replenishing ‘qi’ and tonifying blood, and strengthening the spleens while driving away poison. The commonly used herbs are: Codonopsis pilousula (franch.) Nannf., Rehmannia glutinosa (Gaertn.) Libosch, etc.
2. Concentration of stagnated blood - swelling of the spleens as well as the liver, painful fullness in the chest, poor appetite, purple or dotted tongue body, pulse hesitant, wiry and slippery. The treatment principles include activating blood and dissolving stagnation plus expelling the poison. The commonly used herbs are cores of Prunus persica (L.) Bastch, Cathamus tinctorius L., etc.
3. Liver fire and phlegm heat - swelling of the spleens as well as the liver and the lymph nodes, high fever can not be alleviated by sweat, bleeding not so serious, head ache, joint pains, stitching pains in the chest bones, bitter in the mouth, dry throat, dried bowels, yellow urine, red tongue body, thick and greasy yellow tongue coating, wiry and slippery pulse. Purifying the liver and purging the fire, plus eliminating the phlegm and removing the sludge are the treatment principles. Commonly used herbs are: Donguai, aloe vera L.
In China, Hepatitis C has an infection rate of 2.1% - 3.4%. Doc. Ma, a renowned liver disease expert with more than 20 years of experience, has developed a new route of treatment. By combining both modern and traditional medicines, he prescribes medicine according to the patient’s pathogenic mechanism, for the purpose of reinforcing body resistance to eliminate pathogens; preventing patient’s liver cells from deteriorating, preventing the liver fibers from growing, and avoiding the disease becoming chronic. The purely natural herbal medicine Doc. Ma uses first clears bodily heat, excretes damp, detoxifies poison, then activates blood and eliminates the stagnant.
In his treatment of Hepatitis C, he realizes, although the symptoms resemble those of Hepatitis B, effects of treatment would not be so satisfactory if medicine for chronic disease was applied. But when diagnosed and treated based on an overall analysis of the illness and patient’s conditions, plus using the combination of both modern and traditional medicines, a patient’s liver functions will become normal in about two weeks. As Hepatitis C tends to repeat itself, especially in such situations as cold, anger, etc., a patient, even after his/her liver functions have returned normal, still has to take medicine for about half a year for rehabilitation. The overall effective rate of Doc. Ma’s herbal medicine is 98% while the curative rate 93%.
Myasthenia Gravis - what is it? Myasthenia Gravis is, to be concise, serious muscle weakness. In North America, this kind of disease can not so far be effectively cured.
Traditional Herbal Medicine.....can it help? The answer is Yes! Based upon its particular theory of Yin-Yang, and Wu Xing (Five Evolutive Phases), traditional herbal medicine sees this disease as the result of deficiency of both ‘qi’ and blood, as a blockage in the body’s meridian system.
With such herbs as wild celery and others, a special ointment is prepared to apply on the meridian (sensitive) points. Patients will be treated effectively within a matter of days.
An exemplary case:
In 1991, Ms. Li Fuying, was unfortunately afflicted with myasthenia gravis. At that time, she was 38 years old, but she had difficulty in lifting her eyelids, opening her mouth, and swallowing in food. Moreover, she had problems in even breathing. The only treatment she had in Shanxi was to take hormones, which were not working well at all with her. In 1994, she was carried to the office of Doc. Li, a specialist in myasthenia gravis. After diagnosis, Doc. Li applied the ointment to some sensitive points on the patient's body. Three days later, a wondrous scene took place - Ms. Li could eat her meals with no difficulty at all. Seven days later, she could climb up and down the stairs in the building. Two months later, she was completely cured.
