《中國(guó)式抗癌：中醫(yī)治療腫瘤成功案例》英文版序
《中醫(yī)成功治療腫瘤一百例》的出版至今已整整20年，其間出過中文簡(jiǎn)體字版四版和香港繁體字版三版。英文版在1997年出了第一版，現(xiàn)在新世界出版社在16年后準(zhǔn)備出英文第二版，自然會(huì)依據(jù)最新的中文版本更新內(nèi)容。這本書之所以能一版再版，為越來越多的海內(nèi)外讀者青睞，主要是因?yàn)橹嗅t(yī)確切的抗癌療效已被更多的病人認(rèn)可和接受。與20年前相比，無論是癌癥的發(fā)病率和死亡率今日都有過之而無及，這不能不讓人們對(duì)西方醫(yī)學(xué)治療癌癥的傳統(tǒng)方法產(chǎn)生質(zhì)疑。目前在醫(yī)院占主導(dǎo)地位的抗癌治療依然是手術(shù)、化療、放療三大療法，這種對(duì)癌癥實(shí)施的打擊療法，況且可稱其為有毒抗癌。
我們常?？吹?，病人一旦得知自己被診斷為癌癥就如同接到死亡判決書一般，特別是老人和身體虛弱的病人，他們會(huì)談癌色變，因?yàn)檫@種恐懼不僅是對(duì)癌本身的恐懼，也是對(duì)癌癥治療的恐懼。病人知道，癌癥一旦確立，西醫(yī)治療的三步曲即手術(shù)、放療、化療便程序化地開始了。這些治療不僅昂貴，而且毒副作用極大。接受這樣的治療，在某種意義上來說，實(shí)際上就是讓自己的身體和長(zhǎng)在體內(nèi)的癌一起接受殘酷的打擊，一起經(jīng)受毒性的考驗(yàn)。然而治療效果如何呢？如實(shí)地說效果一般，因?yàn)榇蠖鄶?shù)癌癥病人最終難逃“人財(cái)兩空”的悲慘結(jié)局。
我的書發(fā)行了二十年，其間常有病人循著書中的線索，費(fèi)盡周折找到我。因?yàn)殡m然是醫(yī)生，但癌癥也曾在我心中有過巨大創(chuàng)傷，所以無論病人處在癌癥的早期還是晚期，我都會(huì)盡力幫助他們與癌魔進(jìn)行長(zhǎng)期的博弈。臨床上看的病人多了，醫(yī)學(xué)的經(jīng)驗(yàn)自然愈積愈多，治療效果也逐年提高。
我在書中列舉了上百個(gè)用中醫(yī)成功治療腫瘤的案例，那么是否所有的癌癥都可用中醫(yī)治愈呢？如果不是，那么中醫(yī)治療癌癥究竟能達(dá)到一個(gè)怎樣的程度？中醫(yī)的派別很多，水平各異，那么又該怎樣選擇一位中醫(yī)幫助病人戰(zhàn)勝癌癥呢？那些患了癌癥的病人，在中西醫(yī)之間常常舉棋不定，要么接受對(duì)身體傷害很大的放化療，而治療的結(jié)果其實(shí)十分不理想；要么接受中醫(yī)，但不知中醫(yī)對(duì)癌癥的控制究竟有多大把握？這是我經(jīng)常接到病人電話咨詢最多的問題，他們希望從我這里能得到真實(shí)客觀的答案。
作為一名中醫(yī)腫瘤醫(yī)生，而我的家中又有多位晚期癌癥病人，因此二十年來我一直孜孜不倦地在探索中醫(yī)治療癌癥切實(shí)有效的方法，如何不傷害身體，同時(shí)又能控制和消除癌的病灶？當(dāng)單用中醫(yī)抗癌遇到阻力時(shí)，如何結(jié)合西醫(yī)無毒抗癌的其他治療方法繼續(xù)與癌進(jìn)行持久的博弈？這是我時(shí)常思考的問題，我想每一個(gè)癌癥患者的家人都希望找到無毒且真正有效的抗癌方法，從這個(gè)意義上來說，我和他們的立場(chǎng)一致。為此，我應(yīng)該把自己體驗(yàn)到中醫(yī)抗癌真正所能達(dá)到的效果如實(shí)告訴他們，同時(shí)也和他們一起分享我探索到無毒抗癌的最新成果，與他們一道與癌魔進(jìn)行長(zhǎng)期的抗?fàn)帲⑶易詈髴?zhàn)勝癌癥。
在我治療的癌癥病例中，確有完全用中醫(yī)藥治愈的癌癥病人，其中包括惡性淋巴瘤、肝肉瘤腹腔轉(zhuǎn)移、結(jié)腸癌、肺鱗癌、肺腺癌腦轉(zhuǎn)移、宮頸癌等，他們連續(xù)服中藥的時(shí)間長(zhǎng)達(dá)1-2年，腫瘤逐漸消掉后不會(huì)復(fù)發(fā)，這些病人至今都健康地活著。此類病人的特點(diǎn)是瘤體不大，基本都沒有做過化療。對(duì)于這類病人我所用的方法便是中醫(yī)大劑量無毒抗癌法，我的藥有兩方面作用，一方面是在不傷害病人正氣的情況下，用足量無毒或低毒的抗癌中藥盡可能控制病人的癌病灶，另一方面則是調(diào)節(jié)病人的陰陽(yáng)，使他們的脾胃和二便運(yùn)行正常，同時(shí)維護(hù)病人的陽(yáng)氣，激發(fā)病人自體潛在的抗癌自愈力和免疫力。中醫(yī)抗癌消癌的作用確實(shí)來得緩慢，但在整個(gè)治療過程中，病人生活質(zhì)量很高，過著與正常人一樣的生活，而且癌癥消除后一般不會(huì)復(fù)發(fā)。
記得20年前我用中醫(yī)治好的第一個(gè)病人是位肺癌病人，當(dāng)時(shí)她52歲。我將這個(gè)病例收集在這本書中，沒想到當(dāng)她70歲時(shí)又患了腸癌，雖然我在十八年中已經(jīng)搬了很多次家，換過好幾個(gè)醫(yī)院，但她還是最終找到了我，結(jié)果我再次治好了她的腸癌。去年的一個(gè)星期天，她的三個(gè)孩子從另一城市專程登門告訴我，老人已一年沒吃藥了，所有的檢查都正常，她養(yǎng)了只可愛的小狗為伴，正在快樂地安度晚年。
無毒的中醫(yī)抗癌治療，最適合治療早中期高分化和中分化的癌癥以及各種癌前病變。如果這些低度惡性的癌癥瘤體不大，持之以恒服用較大劑量無毒抗癌中藥，再輔以食療是有可能使腫瘤逐漸縮小直至完全消失，并且不再?gòu)?fù)發(fā)。對(duì)于癌前病變西醫(yī)往往無藥可用，或者觀察，或者手術(shù)。而我一般讓病人服用3-6個(gè)月的無毒抗癌中藥，就可完全阻斷癌前病變。我治療最多的的是宮頸和胃腸消化道的癌前病變，如宮頸鱗狀上皮的重度不典型增生、結(jié)腸多發(fā)性息肉病、胃潰瘍、萎縮性胃炎、胃粘膜慢性炎癥伴腸細(xì)胞化生及重度不典型增生等。
在我用中藥治療的癌癥病人中，感到鱗癌比腺癌相對(duì)好治，低分化腺癌惡性度較高且易轉(zhuǎn)移，對(duì)于這類病人我一般不會(huì)阻止他們進(jìn)行化療，但如果是高分化或中分化的腺癌，我則會(huì)勸阻病人放棄放化療，因?yàn)椴幻舾?，?duì)癌細(xì)胞的殺傷作用不大，而對(duì)自身的正常細(xì)胞卻會(huì)傷害很大，如果他們強(qiáng)行做放化療太吃虧，或者說劃不來，同時(shí)也為遠(yuǎn)期治療帶來隱患，因?yàn)榻?jīng)過放化療后復(fù)發(fā)的癌細(xì)胞用中藥較難控制。高分化腺癌即使不手術(shù)，單用中藥也是比較容易消掉的，做了手術(shù)再用化療，往往適得其反，其實(shí)只要服一般的抗癌中藥就能控制的很好。中分化腺癌則要用中醫(yī)大劑量無毒抗癌法控制癌病灶，如果病灶較小是有可能消掉的，如果病灶較大可以手術(shù)，但術(shù)后不建議做化療，而是以中藥抗癌替代，但連續(xù)服藥時(shí)間要在1-2年以上，以后則可間歇服中藥。
然而目前的現(xiàn)狀是西方醫(yī)學(xué)對(duì)癌細(xì)胞惡性度完全不顧及，幾乎對(duì)所有術(shù)后的癌癥病人都不分青紅皂白，程序化地進(jìn)行4次、6次甚至8次的化療，這樣濫用化療無疑是一種治療過度，所以我要高舉無毒抗癌治療的旗幟與之對(duì)抗，或者說與傳統(tǒng)的目前依然占據(jù)著醫(yī)學(xué)主流地位的有毒抗癌治療進(jìn)行挑戰(zhàn)。
那么對(duì)于瘤體較大的癌或已全身轉(zhuǎn)移的晚期癌，我是如何為他們治療的呢？這時(shí)單靠中醫(yī)不行，必須中西結(jié)合，但我依舊堅(jiān)持無毒抗癌的原則，即只結(jié)合西醫(yī)中無毒且真正有效的抗癌療法，例如免疫治療、超聲刀治療和癌基因封閉療法。
在腹腔中的腫瘤可長(zhǎng)得很大，例如肝癌、肉瘤等，如果單純靠中醫(yī)“消掉”較難。此時(shí)，我常常配合超聲刀的治療，將腫瘤盡可能縮小，然后再進(jìn)行長(zhǎng)期的中藥抗癌治療。超聲刀的設(shè)備在很多醫(yī)院都有，但操“刀”者的水平卻有很大差異。一般的超聲刀治療只做一次，電腦定位后，用高熱能將對(duì)準(zhǔn)的病灶全部燒毀，由于組織短時(shí)間的壞死，可在局部產(chǎn)生激烈的反應(yīng)，如水腫、疼痛、高熱，為此病人常常需要麻醉。而與我有了長(zhǎng)期合作的超聲刀專家，則將一次治療化為七次甚至幾十次來分段治療，加熱采取間歇式，以保證周圍正常組織不受傷害。這種治療的優(yōu)點(diǎn)首先是非常安全，因?yàn)槊看沃委熤粺龤б恍K病灶，所以局部反應(yīng)很小，甚至自身感覺不到有何不適。治療像啄木鳥筑巢一樣，將腫瘤大部“消融”殆盡。此后，可再采用癌基因封閉療法、免疫治療和長(zhǎng)期的中醫(yī)治療，爭(zhēng)取“帶瘤生存”，以致最后徹底治愈癌癥。
那么什么是癌基因的封閉療法呢？這要從美國(guó)約翰霍普金斯大學(xué)教授西門茲（Gregg Semenza）博士說起，1992年他因發(fā)現(xiàn)低氧誘導(dǎo)因子(HIF1) 而成為現(xiàn)代低氧研究的奠基人。HIF-1基因可以啟動(dòng)一群基因，行使著體內(nèi)某些急救功能。當(dāng)身體某個(gè)部位因損傷而缺血、缺氧時(shí)，HIF-1基因主要是啟動(dòng)了該組織的無氧糖酵解代謝途徑。
關(guān)于癌癥的成因，德國(guó)著名醫(yī)學(xué)專家古博格教授曾提出“缺氧說”。他通過研究指出，當(dāng)人體組織細(xì)胞的氧含量低于正常值65%時(shí)，缺氧組織細(xì)胞就會(huì)癌變。癌細(xì)胞也叫厭氧細(xì)胞或缺氧細(xì)胞。現(xiàn)在醫(yī)學(xué)界普遍認(rèn)為，HIF-1基因是癌癥的一個(gè)“總開關(guān)”，它控制數(shù)百個(gè)癌癥基因的活動(dòng)。
國(guó)內(nèi)的研究者發(fā)現(xiàn)，細(xì)胞惡性增殖的啟動(dòng)和阻斷都是分別通過促進(jìn)細(xì)胞增殖的轉(zhuǎn)錄因子在“斷匙關(guān)閉效應(yīng)”中降解的染色質(zhì)肽來實(shí)現(xiàn)的。從這個(gè)角度看，不管患者病情惡化到什么程度，只要患者還沒有出現(xiàn)生命體征全面衰退和面臨致命的器官衰竭，醫(yī)生便可通過HIF-1類轉(zhuǎn)錄因子降解的染色質(zhì)肽來關(guān)閉和切斷細(xì)胞的惡性化途徑，從而穩(wěn)定癌癥患者的病情和挽救他們的生命。中國(guó)的研究者就像用把鑰匙斷到這個(gè)開關(guān)中一樣，利用“斷匙肽效應(yīng)”，開發(fā)出了被稱為基因沉默的染色質(zhì)肽藥物，以試圖關(guān)閉這個(gè)癌癥的“總開關(guān)”，從而天然有效地模仿人類基因鏈插入到細(xì)胞核的作用，既防止癌癥細(xì)胞擴(kuò)散，又阻止其它基因鑰匙再開啟癌細(xì)胞增長(zhǎng)的大門。簡(jiǎn)而言之，癌基因的封閉療法，就是通過人體自身具有的特異染色質(zhì)肽，像鑰匙斷到這個(gè)開關(guān)中一樣，封閉住癌細(xì)胞的無氧代謝啟動(dòng)因子，從而切斷癌細(xì)胞的營(yíng)養(yǎng)，“餓死”癌細(xì)胞。
現(xiàn)在看來“功夫不忘有心人”，我終于踏出了一條無毒抗癌的成功之路，我已經(jīng)可以把這幾種真正有效的無毒抗癌的治療方法結(jié)合在一起，中藥+食療+熱療+癌基因封閉療法+免疫治療+心理治療形成了無毒抗癌治療的最初雛形，這顯然是一種新型的抗癌模式，其安全性和有效性，遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)優(yōu)于傳統(tǒng)的有毒抗癌治療模式：手術(shù)+放療+化療，雖然后者目前屬于主流醫(yī)學(xué)的治療模式，但可以預(yù)見，無毒抗癌治療終將取代有毒抗癌治療。
現(xiàn)在有很多海外病人不遠(yuǎn)萬里，長(zhǎng)途跋涉專程來找我看中醫(yī)，來得最多的是美國(guó)人，其中不乏聰明的猶太人，他們對(duì)中醫(yī)有著濃厚的興趣，他們期盼早日能讀到我的書。感謝世界出版社，在他們的努力下，《中醫(yī)成功治療腫瘤一百例》英文第二版即將出版，同時(shí)我的另一本英文版《無毒抗癌—我的醫(yī)學(xué)思考》也已列入了出版計(jì)劃，只是苦于得不到基金或贊助，相信本書的出版必將促進(jìn)后者的出版，那么國(guó)際醫(yī)學(xué)界就會(huì)早日理解和接受東方人的無毒抗癌理念，從而調(diào)整人類抗癌的總戰(zhàn)略。
Preface
Twenty years have passed sinceTreatment of Cancer The ChineseWay was first published. During thisperiod, four simplified Chinese editions and three traditionalChinese (Hong Kong) editions have been published. The first Englishedition was published in 1997. Today, 16 years later, New WorldPress is going to publish the second English edition, and willtherefore update the content based on the latest Chinese edition.This book has been repeatedly published and is gaining the favor ofmore and more readers at home as well as abroad. The main reasonfor this is that the definite anticancer effect of traditionalChinese medicine has been recognized and accepted by more patients.Compared to the situation 20 years ago, today both cancer incidenceand mortality have increased even more. This has made peoplequestion the conventional methods of Western medicine that treatcancer. At present, there are three major therapies agains t cancerat hospitals: surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Thesetherapies against cancer may be called the poisonous way offighting cancer.
We often see that once patients,especially the elderly and the weak, have been diagnosed withcancer, they get shocked as if they had just received the deathsentence, because they not only fear cancer itself, but also fearthe cancer therapy. Patients know that once cancer is confirmed,the trilogy of Western medicine treatment, i.e. surgery,radiotherapy and chemotherapy, will begin in a routine way. Thesetherapies are not only expensive, but also have severe toxic sideeffects. Receiving such therapies is, in a sense, actually strikingbrutally both your own body and the tumor that grows in vivo, andtesting them with toxicity. But what about the therapeutic effect?Honestly, the effect is just moderate, because most of the cancerpatients eventually end up with “l(fā)oss of both life and money” in amiserable way.
Over the past 20 years after my bookwas published, it was often the case that some patients visited mepainstakingly by following the clues in the book. Cancer once lefta huge trauma in my heart despite the fact that I am a doctor.Therefore, I tried my best to help these patients fight cancer on along-term basis, whether they were in the early stage or latestage. Clinically, I have treated more and more patients, andnaturally gained more and more medical experiences, which led to aconstant improvement of the therapeutic effect.
In my book, I list one hundred casesof tumors successfully cured by TCM. So, is it possible to cure alltypes of cancer using TCM? If not, to what extent exactly cancancer be cured by TCM? TCM doctors belong to many schools and havedifferent levels of skills. Then how can we select a TCM doctor whocan help patients triumph over cancer? Those cancer patients oftenhesitate between traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine.They have to either accept radiotherapy and chemotherapy which dogreat harm to their body with unsatisfactory therapeutic results,or accept TCM with no knowledge of the extent in which TCM cancontrol cancer. This is the question most frequently asked by mypatients in their consultation by phone, and they hope to get arealistic and objective answer from me.
As a TCM doctor that tackles tumors,with several late stage cancer patients at home, too, I have beentirelessly searching after effective TCM therapies which controland eliminate cancerous nidus without doing harm to the body formore than 20 years. When it is difficult to use TCM alone to fightcancer, how can we combine it with nontoxic anticancer therapies ofWestern medicine to continue our fight against cancer? These arethe questions that I often think about. I believe that all familymembers of cancer patients hope to find a nontoxic but highlyeffective way of fighting cancer. In this sense, we are in the sameboat. So I want to tell them the real effects that TCM can achievein fighting cancer from what I have experienced and to share thelatest nontoxic anticancer achievements I have made, so we canfight cancer on a long-term basis hand in hand, until we shalltriumph over it.
In my practice, there are indeedcancer patients who have been cured completely by TCM, suchpatients had developed malignant lymphoma, abdominal cavitymetastasis of hepatosarcoma, colon cancer, squamous cell lungcarcinoma, brain metastasis of adenocarcinoma of the lungs,cervical cancer, etc. They have continuously taken traditionalChinese medicines for one to two years. After their tumors aregradually gone, there has been no relapse. These patients are stillliving a healthy life today. One common feature of such patients isthat their tumors are not big, and have not received anychemotherapy. For such patients, I use high-dose, nontoxic TCManticancer therapy. My medicines have effects in two aspects. Onthe one hand, while making sure that patients’ vitalqi is not harmed, I use sufficientnontoxic or low-toxic traditional Chinese anticancer medicines tocontrol the cancer nidus as far as possible. On the other hand, Iregulate patients’ yin and yang so that their spleen,stomach, urination and defecation operate normally, and maintainpatients’yang qi so as to stimulate patients’ ownpotential spontaneous healing and immunity against cancer. Theeffect of TCM in cancer fighting is indeed slow, but during theentire treatment process, patients have very high quality of lifeand live a life like normal persons. In addition, cancer normallywill not relapse after being eliminated.
I remember that the first patientcured by me using TCM 20 years ago was a 52-year-old patient withlung cancer. I included this case in this book. Unexpectedly, shedeveloped intestinal cancer when she was 70. Though I had moved acouple of times and changed quite a few hospitals during those 18years, she managed to find me, and I cured her intestinal canceragain. One Sunday last year, her three children came all the wayfrom another city to visit me, and told me that their mother hadnot taken any medicine for one year, all examinations had shownthat her condition was normal and she had raised a lovely pup andwas spending her remaining years in comfort.
The nontoxic anticancer TCM therapyis most suitable for treating highly differentiated and moderatelydifferentiated cancer in the early and middle stages, as well asvarious precancerous lesions. If these slightly malignant tumorsare not big in size, it is possible to reduce their size until theycompletely disappear and to prevent them from relapsing bycontinuous intake of large doses of traditional Chinese anticancermedicines plus food therapy. Western medicine can often not doanything about precancerous lesions, and the only options areobservation or surgery. For me, I normally ask patients to taketraditional Chinese anticancer medicines for three to six months,which can completely stop precancerous lesions. We mostly treatcervical and gastrointestinal precancerous lesions, such as severeatypical hyperplasia of cervical squamous epithelium, colonicpolyposis, gastric ulcers, atrophic gastritis, chronic esogastritisaccompanied by intestinal cell metaplasia and severe atypicalhyperplasia, etc.
From my experience of treating cancerpatients using TCM, it is easier to treat squamous carcinoma thanto treat glandular cancer. The poorly differentiated glandularcancer has a high degree of malignancy and is susceptible tometastasis. I normally won’t prevent such patients from receivingchemotherapy. As for highly differentiated or moderatelydifferentiated glandular cancer, however, I will advise patients togive up radiotherapy or chemotherapy, because such treatment is notsensitive to cancer cells and does not kill them effectively;instead, it does great harm to patients’ normal cells. If theyinsist on receiving radiotherapy or chemotherapy, it does no goodto them, and will produce potential risks for future treatment,because it will be difficult to control the cancer cells in therelapse after radiotherapy or chemotherapy. The highlydifferentiated glandular cancer can be eliminated by takingtraditional Chinese medicines, even if no surgery has beenperformed. If chemotherapy is used after surgery, the effect isoften quite the opposite. In fact, intake of the general anticancertraditional Chinese medicines will control the cancer quite well.For the moderately differentiated glandular cancer, high-dosenontoxic anticancer TCM therapy is required to control the cancernidus. It is possible to eliminate the nidus if it is small. If thenidus is big, surgery is acceptable, but chemotherapy is notrecommended after surgery. Instead, traditional Chinese medicinesshould be taken, but such medication should be continuous and lastfor at least one to two years, and after that, traditional Chinesemedicines may be taken intermittently.
However, the reality now is thatWestern medicine shows no regard at all for the degree ofmalignancy of cancer cells, and administers routinized chemotherapyfour times, six times or even eight times to almost all cancerpatients after surgery without regard to their actual situations.Such abuse of chemotherapy is undoubtedly an over-treatment.Therefore, by relying on the nontoxic anticancer therapy, I opposesuch practice, or challenge the traditional toxic anticancertherapy which is now dominant in the medical field.
Then how do I treat those big tumorsor cancer of late stage with systemic metastasis? In this case, TCMalone is not enough, so Chinese medicine and Western medicine mustbe combined. However, I still adhere to my principle of nontoxiccancer fighting. That is, I only use those nontoxic and reallyeffective anticancer therapies in Western medicine, such asimmunotherapy, ultrasonic knife therapy and oncogene blocktherapy.
Tumors may grow very big in theabdominal cavity, such as liver cancer and sarcoma, and it isdifficult to “remove” them by relying on TCM alone. In this case, Ioften first use the ultrasonic knife therapy to minimize the sizeof the tumor, and then continue with long-term TCM anticancertherapy. Many hospitals have the ultrasonic knife equipment, butthe skills of surgeons vary greatly from person to person.Normally, the ultrasonic knife therapy is given only once. Afterpositioning by the computer, high thermal energy is used to aim atthe nidus and completely burn it. As tissue necrosis occurs withina short time, drastic reactions may be produced locally, such asedema, pain and high fever, so patients often need to benarcotized. The ultrasonic knife experts who have cooperated withme for long, however, divide one therapy into seven therapies ordozens of therapies, and use intermittent heating, so as to ensurethat the surrounding normal tissues are not harmed. The advantageof this therapy is that it is very safe, because each therapy onlyburns a small piece of nidus, so the local reaction is quite small,and patients can hardly feel any discomfort. The therapy is like awoodpecker nesting, “fusing” the greater part of tumors.Afterwards, the oncogene block therapy, immunotherapy and long-termTCM therapy may be used to achieve “survival with tumors in vivo”and eventual cure of the cancer.
Then what is oncogene block therapy?This concerns Dr. Gregg Semenza from Johns Hopkins University inAmerica. In 1992, he became the founder of the hypoxia research ashe discovered the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF1). The HIF-1 genecan activate a group of genes, and perform certain first aidfunctions in vivo. When a certain part of the body suffers fromischemia or anoxia due to injury, the HIF-1 gene mainly activatesthe metabolic pathway of anaerobic glycolysis of the affectedtissues.
Regarding the causes of cancer,professor Otto Heinrich Warburg, a famous medical expert inGermany, has put forward the “anoxia theory.” He points out throughhis study that when the oxygen content of the tissue cells of thehuman body is 65 percent lower than the normal value, the tissuecells with oxygen deficiency will be cancerated. Cancer cells arealso called anaerobic cells or hypoxic cells. Now it is generallyrecognized by the medical community that the HIF-1 gene is a“master switch” of cancer which controls the activities of hundredsof cancer genes.
Domestic researchers have found thatboth activation and blockade of the malignant proliferation ofcells are realized through mobilizing the chromatin peptide whichis degraded by the transcription factor of cell multiplicationduring the “Blocking Effect of Broken Key Peptide”. From thisperspective, as long as patients have not developed any completefailure of vital signs or any fatal organ failure, doctors mayutilize the chromatin peptide degraded by the HIF-1 transcriptionfactor to inhibit or cut off the malignization of cells, so as tostabilize cancer patients’ conditions and save their lives. Chineseresearchers seem to have found an inhibitor by utilizing the“effect of broken key peptide.” and developed the chromatin peptidedrug known as “gene silencing” in an attempt to shut down this“master switch” of cancer. In this way, the human genes chain’sinsertion into the cell nucleus is simulated naturally andeffectively, which not only prevents cancer cells from spreading,but also prevents other gene keys from opening the gate of cancercell growth again. In short, the oncogene block therapy means thatthe human body’s own specific chromatin peptide is utilized toblock the anaerobic metabolism initiator of cancer cells, just likea key broken inside the switch, so as to cut off the nutrition forcancer cells, and “starve” cancer cells.
Now it seems that my hard work paysoff. Finally I have successfully set foot on a road of nontoxiccancer fighting. I am able to combine together several reallyeffective nontoxic anticancer therapies: traditional Chinesemedicines + food therapy + thermal therapy + oncogene block therapy+ immunotherapy + psychotherapy, which is the rudiment of thenontoxic anticancer therapy. Obviously, this new way of treatingcancer is far safer and more effective than the traditional toxicanticancer therapy, which consists in surgery + radiotherapy +chemotherapy. Though the latter is still the mainstream way oftreatment at present, it is foreseeable that the nontoxicanticancer therapy will eventually replace the toxic anticancertherapy.
Now many overseas patients, most ofwhom are Americans, are coming all the way from afar to seek TCMtreatment from me. Some of these patients are wise Jews who arevery interested in TCM and are looking forward to reading my book.I want to express my thanks to New World Press. With its efforts,the revised edition of Treatment of Cancer The ChineseWay is to be published soon. Meanwhile,the English edition of another book of mine Nontoxic Cancer Fighting—My MedicalThoughts has also been included in thepublishing plan, but it is a pity that no fund support orsponsorship has been received. I believe that the publication ofthis book will facilitate publication of the latter. By then, theinternational medical community should be able to understand andaccept the oriental concept of nontoxic cancer fighting, and thusadjust the overall strategy on humankind’s fight againstcancer.
