Veteran singer Ye Shengqin suffered from pelvic and knee pain for a while. After an examination at the hospital, he was diagnosed with cancer. The 1-year chemotherapy often had side effects on his body. He died of cancer on March 11 at the age of 42.

On March 12, at 6 am in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, young dancer Su Riman, who had been fighting cancer for 8 months, died of illness. From her diagnosis to her death, she underwent 8 cycles of chemotherapy in 8 months, but her condition deteriorated too fast.

Growing tumor cells

Malignant tumors have become a major public health problem that seriously threatens the health of Chinese residents. Once the tumor evolves into cancer, the cancer evolution speed is very fast. Patients are often diagnosed with advanced cancer when they go to the hospital for examination. With the rapid development of China's industrialization, urbanization and population aging, the incidence and death toll of malignant tumors are increasing. We need to pay attention to tumor screening and prevention!

Cancer prevention is essential.

Cancer prevention is divided into three levels, namely early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment.

For the prevention of tumor, the first step is to find early lesions through regular physical examination, tumor marker screening or B-ultrasound.

Second, timely use of surgical therapy can effectively prolong the survival of patients.

Finally, cancer prevention can be achieved by improving eating habits and maintaining a healthy diet.

The formation of tumors is related to people's bad living and eating habits. Eating habits are the key to determining people's health.

Eating the following foods often has the effect of preventing cancer.

① Eat more fruits and vegetables: A large sample study found that plant-based foods can help reduce the risk of various cancers such as esophageal cancer, stomach cancer and breast cancer. Fruits and vegetables are rich in antioxidants and vitamins, which have good anti-cancer effects.

② Eating soy products: A study cited in the report showed that women who consumed one serving of soy protein per day, which is about the same as drinking one cup of fortified soy milk and half a cup of tofu, reduced their risk of premenopausal breast cancer by about 43 percent.

③ Eat less red and processed meat: Several studies have confirmed that eating less or not eating red and processed meat can reduce the risk of bowel cancer and help prevent the "three highs". Eating a few steaks, burgers and hot dogs every once in a while doesn't significantly increase the health risks.

④ Drink less: Long-term excessive drinking will increase the risk of oral cancer, throat cancer, esophageal cancer and bowel cancer. Heavy drinking and smoking can make things worse.

⑤ Often eat Ganoderma lucidum: Doctors of traditional Chinese medicine have always regarded Ganoderma lucidum as a precious Chinese herbal medicine that is tonic, strengthens the body resistance and consolidates the constitution. Ganoderma lucidum is known as the "immortal grass". —Excerpt from Baidu Baike

From "Shennong Materia Medica" to "Compendium of Materia Medica", there are descriptions of Ganoderma lucidum. According to past records, the nature, flavor and efficacy of Ganoderma lucidum are closely related to the five internal organs.

Ganoderma lucidum can enter the liver meridian for transportation, transformation and detoxification. A healthy liver can help eliminate toxic substances from the body so as to achieve the effect of strengthening the body resistance and consolidating the constitution.

Professor Du Jian, a national famous old Chinese medicine doctor, said in "Ganoderma Primordial Qi Theory": "In Shennong Materia Medica, Ganoderma lucidum belongs to the top-grade medicine. The top-grade medicine is mainly tonic. Therefore, it can be continuously combined with different drugs in clinical practice to achieve the effect of adjuvant treatment of chronic diseases, including hypertension, diabetes and tumors. Ganoderma lucidum has played a very good auxiliary role."

So, how does Ganoderma lucidum play a auxiliary role?

According to Professor Du Jian, there are many active ingredients in Ganoderma lucidum. For example, Ganoderma lucidum is rich in amino acids, proteins, polysaccharides, and triterpenes. It not only protects the liver but also achieves the purpose of eliminating pathogens, which shows the benefits of Ganoderma lucidum. According to the therapeutic principles in TCM, surgical resection, chemotherapy and radiotherapy only focus on "eliminating pathogens" while neglecting "strengthening the body resistance". The role of Ganoderma lucidum in chemotherapy and radiotherapy is just to make up for the insufficiency of these two therapies and truly achieve "strengthening the body resistance and eliminating pathogens".—Excerpt from the first edition of "Lingzhi From Mystery to Science" written by Zhi-Bin Lin, p83-84

To sum up, for cancer patients, the effect of Ganoderma lucidum on strengthening the body resistance and consolidating the constitution may be achieved by enhancing the body's anti-tumor immunity, promoting the hematopoietic function of bone marrow and antagonizing tissue damage caused by radiotherapy or chemotherapy.

In addition, we should do relevant physical examinations in a timely manner and maintain good living and eating habits to prevent cancer.
