Cancer Treatment

Cancer Treatment

most cancers, if discovered and treated early, can be controlled through integrated treatment by both conventional western medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Even for otherwise healthy individuals, the use of TCM supplements can be an affective defense to combat its cancer’s development.

The fundamental cause of cancer is due to cancer causing factors stimulating the body’s cells to start its abnormal growth. The human body, under normal circumstances, has the ability to resist cancer - inducing the body’s immune system and to subdue the formation of cancer cells. However, when the cancer causing elements becomes too strong, the body’s immune system may not be able to resist the onslaught and these resistance cancer cells would gradually form into toxic tumor, which is what we called “cancer”. Usually, when cancer has progressed to the stage where it can be discovered, it has already persisted for some time. In a lot of cases, when it is first clearly diagnosed, it may have already progressed to the later stages.

Given the elusive nature of the disease and its often expeditious progression, it is imperative to take a precautionary/proactive approach when dealing with the threat of developing cancer. This can be through regular medical check-ups, regular exercise and the daily intake of TCM supplements (such as PSP) to augment one’s immune system in its resistance to cancer growth.

At present, the spread of cancer is normally treated by one or more of the following three methods: surgery, chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy, which can directly attack and kill cancer cells. At the same time, they can also kill normal cells and seriously weaken a patient's immunological function. While these treatments represent major advances treating cancers, they are unfortunately frequently associated with a greater incidence of infection.

Infection is one the most serious complications for cancer patients. This is due to alterations in the body’s immune system from the disease, the cancer therapy or both. As a result, the level of white blood cells in the blood decreases. Without enough white blood cells available to fight off infection causing bacteria, there is an increased risk of getting an infection. For this reason, the physician will check blood counts frequently during chemotherapy.

The only sure way to prevent infection is to stay away from those who are infected, which may not always be possible. The next best way is to improve immune system function and response so that its mechanisms can better identify and more effectively destroy the infecting viruses and/or other infectious agents.

Increasingly, many people are paying attention to what is called an alternative approach to health. It essentially involves taking care of the body, particularly the immune system, so that the body can resolve external diseases. These approaches can be combined or supplemented with a well-balanced diet containing vitamins, minerals, herbs, hormones, or amino acids, or with Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCM) that contain other natural substances that the body’s natural immune system can use to stay in balance.

It has been found through relatively recent clinical trials and studies performed in China and Japan that consumption of natural Coriolus Versicolor Polysaccharide can raise one’s immunological function.

Yunzhi will not cure any disease, but rather, it stimulates activation of macrophages (white blood cells), and T-cells (fights against infection). Through the host’s own cell mediated response, natural Yunzhi acts as an immune-modulator or regulator that helps to control the macrophage activity. The use of yunzhi polysaccharide is so effective that it is classified as a Category 4 drug in China as a secondary treatment for cancer, and an immuno-modulator for the treatment of chronic active hepatitis.

Natural Coriolus Versicolor Polysaccharide can be compatible with chemotherapy and radiotherapy to protect normal cells from immunological function damage by reducing suppression of the immune system as a result of tumor, radiation, chemotherapy, or aging. The side effects of white blood cell reduction such as nausea, anorexia and alopecia during the treatment process can be reduced.

Moreover, Coriolus Versicolor Polysaccharide does not interact with other drugs nor affect hepatic drug-metabolizing enzyme activities indicating that drug efficacy is not affected when used with other medications. Although its anti-cancer effect is not as potent as that of chemotherapeutic drugs, Coriolus Versicolor Polysaccharide does not cause harm to the normal cells. In other words, it possesses the ability of distinguishing between normal and cancer cells.

Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled cellular growth with local invasion of normal tissue (benign), or a systemic spread of the disease (malignant), or both. Malignancy and tumor are terms that are usually used synonymously for cancer.

Normally, the growth of cells takes place in an orderly and controlled manner. Cancer cells do not have this growth control mechanism. The cells then continue to divide and are capable of invading adjacent cell structures or breaking away from the original tumor mass and establish new growth in other parts of the body (metastasis). These cells do not function as normal cells and unless the process is halted, the malignant characteristics can ultimately result in the death of the patient. However, one does not have to despair. Cancer today is no longer an incurable disease as it was in the past. Nowadays,

The following are highlights one of the most devastating prognosis for millions of people around the world, that of being diagnosed with cancer or diagnosed with the hereditary propensity of developing cancer.
