More and more people are getting cancer these years. Why? The reason is that once a tumor is identified, the treatment principles and methods are completely wrong. As a result, patients already going under a cancer treatment get new cancerous tumors while they are not fully recovered from the existing ones.
The author of this article consulted many medical cases from ancient and modern times, and wrote this article based on more than 10 years of experience in practicing medicine in Western countries, hoping to help patients who are in the terminal stage of cancer. The process of birth, aging, to illness and death is natural law, while recovery from illness is also a kind of natural law. Any synthetic treatment that separates and ultimately violates the law of nature is doomed to fail.
The current cancer treatment based on modern medicine is a three-step process in conventional hospitals — surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. These methods are all about “killing” cancerous cells which are also destroying body’s natural healing abilities. According to the traditional medicine classic books, we should treat these major malignant diseases with “peace” and “reconciliation” of body’s natural existence. The yin and yang between heaven and earth is balanced and interconvertible. The cost will be extremely painful in the end if we disobey this principle.
The trilogy of the Western medicine
1. Surgery
As we all know, a “surgery” is performed to remove the cancerous lump. But malignant tumors are different from common tumors – the malignant tumors tend to have infiltrates. So during a surgery, surgeons tend to remove more infiltrative soft tissues. Therefore, the physical damage to the organs and soft tissues deemed to inevitably aggravate. It is important to mention that the purpose of this article is not to be against surgery but to highlight the importance of decision making related to a surgery i.e. considering the patient’s age, symptoms, the location of the cancer block, and a comprehensive assessment of the risk that the surgical process entails.
2. Radiotherapy
Tumor radiotherapy is a topical treatment method that uses radiation to treat tumors. Radiation includes radioactive isotope-produced α-ray, β-ray, γ-ray and x-ray, electronic ray, proton beams, and other particle beams produced by various x-ray treatment machines or accelerators.
About 70% of cancer patients need radiation therapy for the treatment of cancer. Generally speaking, stage I and II are mainly radiotherapy, while stage III and IV are mainly chemotherapy. Topical radiotherapy can also be used in stage III and IV. However, as we know that radiotherapy kills both good and bad soft tissues at the same time. Therefore, patients in the terminal cancer stage cannot be treated with radiation as cancer cells are already spread to the whole body.
3. Chemotherapy
“Chemotherapy” is short for chemical drug therapy. It kills cancer cells by using chemical therapeutic drugs.
Our bodies are made up of cells, and 80% of the cells are filled up with water. When we have physical problems, it is actually the water in the cells that has problems i.e. the nature of the water is changed from healthy to unhealthy. To understand this further, refer to Dr. Masaru Emoto’s “Water Knows Answers” experiment that helps explain how cancer is originated in the human body.
Radiotherapy is difficult to exert effective treatment for potential metastatic lesions (cancer cells that have already spread to other parts of the body, but cannot be detected clinically because of the current technical limitations) and clinical metastases.
Chemotherapy is a method of systemic therapy. No matter by which way (oral, intravenous, body cavity administration, etc.) the chemical drugs are taken, chemotherapy drugs will circulate within the blood vessels and reach most organs and tissues throughout the body.
Chemotherapeutic drugs are “cytotoxic drugs”, which come with some toxic side effects. The most common ones are:
1. Digestive system reaction: such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. Among them, nausea and vomiting are the most common reactions to chemotherapy.
2. Bone marrow suppression: such as leukocytes and thrombocytopenia.
3. Hair loss: some chemotherapy drugs may cause hair loss.
After all, chemotherapy is an intense treatment that suppresses cancer cells in a short period of time but with a risk of cancer cells rebounding rapidly within the near future. Therefore, clinicians should strictly grasp the chemotherapy implications, set standardized and reasonable formulation of chemotherapy programs, and take necessary preventive measures
Traditional Chinese medicine • The trilogy and the recuperation of the mind
Patients with tumor/cancer
Traditional Chinese medicine pays more attention to the conditioning of the mind. Thus every doctor practicing the ancient traditional Chinese medicine does a variety of daily practices regarding the mind and body.
If a traditional Chinese medicine doctor does not perform body and mind cultivation practices daily, he/she cannot experience the secret within, and does not qualify as a good doctor. In other words, a doctor who can only write prescriptions is not considered to be a good doctor of the Traditional Chinese medicine.
Now, let’s talk about the radiotherapy and chemotherapy in traditional Chinese medicine. These therapies were recorded in traditional Chinese medicine a long time ago, but because of the suppression of traditional medicine due to rapid development of the modern Western medicine, the development of the multiple traditional Chinese medicine divisions have been getting worse. Thus, the traditional Chinese medicine practice has gradually developed gaps between the new generations and the older generations.
Cancer ~ can be treated just as easily as a cold?
So far in this article, we have discussed the principle and side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy as part of the Western medicine. Many people also ask the ultimate effect of the modern medicine. This is to be discussed in the following sections of this article. We take an example of cold. We are not afraid of getting cold but we are seriously afraid of developing cancer. This is because cold is not associated to serious implication like death. It can happen but generally cold does not cause a lot of deaths.
Why do more and more people get cancer? Why do more and more people die from cancer nowadays? Most of the cancer patients died in hospitals, as there was no cure to this serious disease. Western medicine has been developed for less than two hundred years, and it rose rapidly after the invention of antibiotics in World War II. With the development of technology in the Western medicine, the diagnosis methods are becoming more and more accurate while the treatment methods are not keeping up.
The treatment method is a weak point for cancer and certain chronic diseases. Therefore, everyone is very afraid of these diseases. Because the mortality rate is very high, the number of patients going into hospitals is more than patients discharged from hospitals, which causes people being afraid of even talking about cancer. If one day cancer becomes cold, will we still be afraid of it? What Chinese ancient medicine practitioners are aiming to do is to apply the principles of the ancient medicine into the cancer treatment process that makes cancer treatment as easy as cold.
1、Traditional Chinese Medicine Surgery ~ Review and Outlook
So let’s begin to understand part of the history on surgery within the traditional Chinese medicine . The knowledge regarding surgery in traditional Chinese medicine was lost when Hua Tuo was killed, and his invention - Ma Fei Powder (powder for anesthesia) did not pass down since 200s AD. Because the anesthetic formula has not been handed down, the absence of anesthetic led to the downfall of the surgery specialty of traditional Chinese medicine.
The traditional Chinese medicine surgery can be said to be very scientific and medically professional. In ancient times, there was no modern equipment, for example, like X-ray, MIR and so on. The doctors had to rely on their own knowledge and intuitional power. One needs to reach a certain level of spirituality and attain inner balance in order to open the Third Eye. The third eye dynamism is very powerful. It allows a level of intuition that can see clearer and further than the X-ray. This is not just a story but a powerful mind and soul balance of the human existence. The ancient doctors applied this higher level of skill into their medical practices. Otherwise, how did the doctors in the ancient times dare to cut open the patient’s body with a surgery knife precisely at the location where it embodied the disease?
Dialectical thinking of traditional Chinese medicine is different from Western medicine. In traditional Chinese Medicine, the symptoms are dialectically diagnosed in detail with the theory of yin and yang, with “harmony”, “reconciliation" to cure the disease, rather than the heavy use of surgery and synthetic medicines as in the Western medicine. As mentioned earlier, the traditional Chinese medicine also has surgery, but this surgery is based on the scientific yin, yang, and the five elements. It is more about considering the previous cause, the present issue, and planning for the results i.e. healing holistically.
However, nowadays the invention of new technology and evolving scientific techniques, as well as advanced surgical technology, just made up for the shortcomings of traditional Chinese medicine. Today’s traditional Chinese medicine should boldly operate to restore the surgical treatment of traditional Chinese medicine since the Eastern Han Dynasty.
2、The Chemotherapy Method of Traditional Chinese medicine ~ Traditional Chinese herbal medicine
After seeing the chemotherapy of the Western medicine, we know that, in fact, the chemotherapy of the traditional Chinese medicine is the “traditional Chinese herbal medicine”. Yes, traditional Chinese herbal medicine reaches most organs and tissues through the blood circulation within the body.
We all know where “cancer” cells come from. They come from “good” cells. According to the law of nature, the conversion from “good” cells to “cancer” cells eventually affected the overall functional being of the patients. As a result, I saw a lot of patients getting weaker after chemotherapy, which eventually led to many unfortunate deaths. Therefore, according to the law of nature, we should “convert” those cancer cells back to good cells or develop new healthy cells to compensate the dead ones.
3、 Traditional Chinese medicine radiotherapy ~ Moxibustion
Next, let’s talk about the “radiotherapy” of traditional Chinese medicine. Now, we will focus on the “radiotherapy”. Next time we will talk about the “chemotherapy of traditional Chinese medicine,” if we get a chance.
The radiotherapy of traditional Chinese medicine has been used a long time ago, which is also called “moxibustion”. However, this theory of traditional Chinese Medicine has not been clearly elaborated, which led to this precious knowledge not being well explored in this era of science and technology, where modern principles of science is the only truth to lots of people.
Now, we will use the principle of modern technology to explain the principle of the radiotherapy in the traditional Chinese medicine.
Moxibustion has been used since ancient times. As an old saying goes, “seven years of disease, three years of moxibustion". In fact, through the ages, cancer has long been here since a long time ago, and it is not a modern disease. As for patients who are diagnosed with cancer just now, the cancer cells have started gathering in their bodies since many years ago.
1 Tumor ~ slow in formation
Normal people have cancer cells inside their bodies. Cancer cells maintain a balance with normal healthy cells. Every day new cancer cells are generated and some existing cancer cells die normally. When this balance is broken, the body is at low immunity. Generally, in about 5 years, the body would produce a large number of cancer cells. Eventually these cancer cells will form lumps in certain areas of the body.
The lump is like a “surface” which is generated by the “points” gathered together. So when we remove the “surface”, we cannot completely eliminate all the cancer cells at the “points” in the body. This is why many patients’ cancer relapsed soon after surgery. Cancer has a very slow process of development. It is not generated at once. When cancer is at the point of outbreak, the patient’s health suddenly collapses. In most cases, the patient cannot bear the psychological pressure.
Cancer finally destroys all the organs and tissues of the body. Also, as the pain caused by congestion consumes a lot of physical strength, the patient eventually dies because of physical exhaustion, immunity failure, and body organ failure. As cancer and other tumors are slowly formed, the removal process is also slow. This is why there is an old saying that says, “Diseases come on horseback but go away on foot” and “Haste makes waste “.
2 The principle of moxa~ Far-infrared rays
Next, we will talk about why moxa can cure diseases? It is because moxa can warm the meridians, benefit Qi(the vital energy that circulates through the body at all times), activate blood circulation and disperse colds. Why? Because moxa can release far - infrared rays when burning. But different moxa releases different far-infrared rays, and the requirements for moxa are different.
What benefits do far-infrared rays offer to the body? Among the infrared rays, there is an infrared ray with a wavelength of 4～14μm, which is called the far infrared ray. As a ray is the same wavelength as the organism itself, it is also known as “Cultivated Light “. The far infrared ray produced by the combustion of moxa is close to the far-infrared ray that is produced by the human body itself.
The infrared ray’s wavelength of a healthy human body is 8-12μm. The heat energy generated after high temperature combustion of the wild moxa more than three years old (except the machine-made ones) has the function of far-infrared rays. It can play a warm effect which can keep the body warm and promote peripheral blood circulation, eventually promoting the systemic blood circulation of the entire body.
We often find that the peripheral blood circulation of unhealthy people is extremely poor, as their hands and feet are always cold. Doctors of traditional Chinese medicine usually touch patients’ hands and feet to determine their physical health status.
The far infrared ray released by moxibustion has a relatively strong penetration power and can play a deep warm effect. This is why it is recorded in many medical books that good moxa can reach 8-10 cm of penetration under the skin, and with that deep distance of penetration, the far-infrared ray can directly reach the cancer lump.
On the right side of the figure above , there is a PET/CT image of a 68-year-old patient with advanced cancer, showing systemic spread of cancer cells. On the left side, there is also a PET/CT image of the same patient, after taking moxibustion for one and a half months with our 7 cm handmade wild moxa sticks. We found that 80% of the cancer cells disappeared, and some cancer cells spread to the bones and the head also disappeared.
3 Penetrability of the far-infrared rays
**Why does moxa have such a great effect? **
3.1 Because the far-infrared rays produced by the combustion of moxa can infiltrate the human body and vibrate the water molecules within
Which will convert into heat that increases the skin temperature, improving cellular vitality and blood circulation. Combining with nutrients and protein DNA, it will form new hydrates that are easier for digestion, which is excellent for one’s health and wellness.
Therefore, it is recommended that everyone does outdoor activities often and get enough sun exposure. Unfortunately, most of us sit in the office for too long and lack sun exposures. In that case, moxa can be a good alternative to sunlight.
3.2 The far-infrared rays produced by the combustion of moxa can improve the microcirculatory system.
It creates lateral circulation, enhances the stability of cell membranes, regulates ion concentration, and improves osmolality. It speeds up the excretion of toxic substances and metabolites. Additionally, it accretes the absorption of the exudate that results in decreasing edema.
Once the microcirculatory system improves, metabolites can be excreted quickly, and therefore reducing the burden on the liver and kidney by quickly discharging the toxic waste. Such wastes include carcinogenic heavy metals, fatigue/aging-inducing lactic acid, free fatty acid and subdermal fat, uranium ions that cause high blood pressure, and uric acid that causes pain.
If the microcirculatory system is faulty, it can lead to many issues, including high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, tumor, arthritis, cold and numb limbs. Good blood circulation to different parts of the body can prevent soreness and discomfort, eliminate fatigue and other diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, hyperplasia, adhesive capsulitis, cervicitis, back pain, and paralysis of hands and feet.
Additionally, far-infrared rays can purify blood, improve skin texture, prevent bone and joint pains caused by uric acid, and reduce the burden on the kidneys. The liver and kidney of cancer patients are extremely depleted. Moxa can ease and reduce such a burden while strengthening the liver and kidney. Typically, cancer patients start with issues occurring in the microcirculatory system, and then meridians are blocked, which eventually leads to blockage in the internal organs and finally forming tumors.
3.3 Moxa can balance the PH levels of our body
As mentioned in the last two paragraphs, the far-infrared rays can purify blood, improve skin texture, prevent bone and joint pains caused by uric acid, improve the blood circulation of different parts of the body, prevent soreness and discomfort, and eliminate fatigue. Moxibustion can cure many diseases such as rheumatic arthritis, hyperplasia, adhesive capsulitis, cervicitis, back pain, and paralysis of hands and feet.
3.4 Activation of cellular functions and purification of blood.
The far-infrared rays produced by the combustion of moxa can activate water molecules. The latest research has found that cellular hypoxia causes cancer, and the main reason for cellular hypoxia is that water molecules in the cell cannot penetrate the cell membrane (also known as the cell membrane is clogged). As a result, garbage in cells cannot be disposed freely.
Water accounts for 70% of the human body and 80% of blood. If one is deficient in qi and blood, the water molecules in the blood then agglomerate into inert water that is unable to pass through the cell membrane. As a result, many cells will be dead, and some of the cells will turn into cancer cells.
The far-infrared rays can resonate with water molecules and become independent water molecules (combination of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom). It improves the oxygen content in the human body. The cells are thus revitalized. As a result, a person becomes more energetic, smarter in thinking, more resistant to diseases, and the aging process is also slowed down.
3.5 Lower free radicals
The all-inclusive coverage and permeability of the far infrared rays produced by burning the moxa stick can generate a deep level thermal effect inside the body. It can activate cells, improve tissue regeneration, promote cell growth, strengthen liver function, and enhance liver detoxification.
The liver of cancer patients generally has poor detoxification functions. Moxa keeps the internal organ environment in good condition and improves the performance of the body’s self-circulatory system. It helps the body excrete in time the excess “free radicals” known as health killers.
3.6 Prevent and assist in treating cancerous lesions
Cancer cells have very weak resistance to high temperature. Using the penetrating power of far infrared rays, the thermal effect will not harm the surrounding normal cells, but the temperature can destroy cancer cells. Glandular cancer cells will die at the temperature of 38°C; while 59% of cancer cells of general malignant tumors will die at a temperature of 43°C.
As a result, many hospitals now have a new treatment method for cancer, which is to give fever shots to patients. The father of the Western medicine, Hippocrates, the ancient Greek saint of medicine, once said: Let me have a fever, and I will cure all diseases. Therefore, far infrared rays are good for inhibiting the spread of cancer cells, preventing and assisting in the treatment of cancer, and even treating persistent diseases that have not been cured for years.
3.7 Activate immune cell functions
The cancer cells have a strong ability to destroy the body organs. However, the heat effect of far-infrared rays released by the burning of moxa eliminates the pathological process of inflammation through the reaction of neurohumoral response. The original damaged physiological equilibrium is turning back to normal in accelerating speed, and the local and systemic disease resistance ability is heightened.
It also activates the function of immune cells and strengthens the phagocytosis of leukocytes and reticulocytes so as to decrease inflammation and restrain bacteria. The activation of immune cells can greatly fight against cancer cells. The world’s most expensive cancer injection treatment developed recently is based on the principle of stimulating immune T-cells to fight cancer cells. What we use costs much less and we can make this Chinese medicine available to any cancer patient. It is a radiation therapy that is affordable to all people.
The infrared heat effect produced by burning moxa increases the skin temperature, decreases sympathetic nerve sensing ability, releases vasoactive substances, dilates blood vessels, accelerates blood flow and improves blood circulation. It enhances tissue nutrition, activates tissue metabolism, increases cellular oxygen supply, improves blood and oxygen supply to the lesion area, strengthens the regenerative capacity of cells, controls the development of inflammation and localizes it, and accelerates the repair of the lesion.
3.8 Analgesic Effect
Many cancer patients experience a lot of painful reactions. The infrared heat effect generated by the burning of moxa reduces the excitability of nerve endings. It helps improve the blood circulation and decreases edema. It also reduces chemical and mechanical irritation of nerve endings. The thermal effect of the far infrared rays raises the pain threshold. All of the above play a role in relieving pain.
We know that many cancer patients eventually die from pain. Patients often go from taking dulcolax every 4 hours in the later stages to every 2 hours and then to 1 hour. This kind of pain is intolerable for common people. Other extremely serious patients, who although eventually passed away, died pain-free because of employing our moxibustion method in later stages. The quality of life in the last stage was greatly improved and dignity was also preserved for the deceased.
3.9 Regulate blood pressure back to normal
The warming effect of far-infrared rays produced by the burning of moxa can dilate the end blood vessels and promote blood circulation, so that the compression of blood vessels will be reduced and blood flow will become smoother, which can effectively help patients with hypertension to lower their blood pressure. While our daily use of antihypertensive drugs is based on the principle of vasodilatation, the sequelae is that, taking the drugs for more than a decade can easily lead to cardiovascular infarction.
3.10 Regulate autonomic nervous system
Cancer patients are under great stress and the mood of patients is especially important for their recovery. When a person is in a state of anxiety for a long time, the autonomic nervous system is constantly tense, which will lead to lower immunity, headache, dizziness, insomnia, weakness, and cold limbs. Far-infrared rays can regulate the autonomic nervous system and keep it in an optimal state, so that all of the above symptoms can be improved or removed. These are the tested effects of far-infrared rays on the human body produced by burning moxa.
4 Air purification and sterilization
In addition, the moxa smoke produced by burning moxa also has the effect of purifying the air, but it is necessary to choose the right moxa. If the moxa is not old enough, or if the processing method is not right, or if the moxa is added with plants such as artemisia absinthium or triphala, it is not only ineffective but also harmful. Note that “artificial” moxa, moxa “of the year”, and moxa made for “commercial interests” are often toxic and are not able to achieve the medicinal effect. Instead, these types will backfire. The immune system of cancer patients is very low. Often, the surrounding environment is especially important to the patient’s recovery. The moxa smoke can kill typhoid, tuberculosis, staphylococcus and other germs in the air. The weather gets hot when spring changes into summer and it is the time for germs to multiply and become active. Burning moxa sticks to get rid of the germs at this time is more effective. In winter, when people’s immune system is at a lower level, burning moxa can also purify the surrounding environment.
5 Moxa sticks made by the artist
Finally, ancient people found that in the process of healing some chronic diseases, required moxa sticks made of plants that had been preserved for “three years”. The term “seven years” is a convenient term that refers to some chronic diseases in general.
The term “three-year old moxa” means that only the moxa sticks made from mugwort that had been stored for three years could achieve the ideal effect. In the past, there were no human planted mugwort plants; all were naturally grown in the wilderness. Therefore, “mugwort” should preferably be grown naturally. The “three years” here refers to the mugwort picked during the Dragon Boat Festival period because the mugwort picked during this period is the most potent as the flowers haven’t bloomed and the leaves are at their best form. Then, after three years of natural storage, the mugwort plant is hand-made into moxa sticks.
To guarantee its medicinal effectiveness, for more than ten years I have been doing research on making truly good medicinal moxa sticks. My team tries to replicate the ancient way of production. We purchase moxa naturally grown in the wilderness, then storing them for three years. Then we make the moxa sticks in the ancient way. Although the production procedure is complicated, we dare not save manpower; although the cost is high to achieve great quality, we dare not reduce material resources. To guarantee quality, we did dozens of experiments and finally succeeded in making good moxa after years of effort.
The traditional medicine of our homeland is extensive and deep. It’s a collection of experiences gained from the great nature by human beings over thousands of years. There is no need to do lab experiments as the natural practice and usage is in existence since ancient to current time period. A German medicine specialist told us that “your traditional medicine has been proven innumerous times on the human body through thousands of years in the past during medical practice. Therefore, you don’t need to experiment on white mice anymore.”
Genuine medicine is blessed and a manifestation of Bodhisattvas. It is definitely able to help the mother-like sentient beings to be free of pain and obtain peace as well as happiness.
