For most people, they are helpless when facing cancer . In order to save their lives, they often try their best and try all possible methods in order to help themselves defeat cancer.
In this process, there are indeed some examples of people who have defeated cancer, but more people cannot see the end point in the process of trying methods to treat cancer, and finally die due to failure in fighting cancer. There are also some well-known and wealthy people among them. Wei Yanzheng is one of them.
41 Huawei executives suffered from rare cancer and once hoped that would "starve" cancer cells to treat cancer
Wei Yanzheng, 41 years old at the time, showed off his programming language skills at a young age and was able to do so in his subsequent studies. At the same time, Wei Yanzheng's status has also improved: he was discovered by Huawei Head Office at a young age, and was later promoted to become the assistant to the president.
is such a person. He was supposed to have a happy and successful life, but during a physical examination, he was diagnosed with " clear cell sarcoma" , which is a rare and dangerous cancer, 5 The annual survival rate is even lower than 20%.
Like most cancer patients, Wei Yanzheng was also trying his best to find ways to treat himself, but all ended in failure. In the late stages of cancer, Wei Yanzheng even went on a hunger strike in an attempt to "starve" the cancer cells. To defeat cancer , he only drank water and took medicine every day, but in the end, a miracle still failed, and he sadly passed away at the age of 41.
While everyone is lamenting, many people also believe that the biggest factor in Wei Yanzheng's death from cancer may be his later attempts to "starve" cancer cells.
Can cancer cells be "starved to death"?
Regarding this issue, cutting-edge scientists are also conducting intensive research. According to a paper published in the journal "Molecular Cancer Therapeutics", scientists have studied the relationship between SLC1A5 protein and cancer Studies on the role of cells have found that when food is restrained, the movement of proteins between cancer cells is disrupted, such as melanoma, brain glioma and other cancers, which can indeed achieve a certain control and treatment effect.
In this case, can "starve" cancer cells to death be applicable to all cancers?
No, as far as the current research is concerned, only a small number of cancers such as glioma and melanoma can be "starved to death" appropriately. "Therapy", Most cancers do not improve significantly when they are starved.
Not only that, the vitality of cancer cells itself is extremely strong , both in terms of nutrient uptake efficiency and diffusion ability, it is far stronger than body cells. If really hopes to "starve" cancer cells, it may be that the health of our body The cells will first "not be able to hold on" , resulting in a decline in the body's immunity and disease resistance, which in turn will aggravate the spread of cancer.
Therefore, except for a few cancer patients, with the permission of the doctor, they can indeed try to "starve" cancer cells to death, but the vast majority of cancers cannot rashly reduce the patient's dietary supply.. Wei Yanzheng's case has sounded the alarm to many cancer patients. Please learn a lesson and don't try it easily.
In addition, for cancer friends, anti-cancer is a "protracted battle". Only with the factors to defeat cancer can the probability of successful treatment be higher. However, many cancer patients do not realize it in the process of fighting cancer, so the effect of fighting cancer is not ideal.
There are three essential success factors in fighting cancer. Many cancer friends have ignored
The first point: Pay attention to protein supplements
For most cancers, starvation cannot fight cancer. On the contrary, hunger will cause the body’s original Cells become weak, reducing the body's ability to resist.Protein is an important energy source needed by the body. For example, improving the body's immunity, enhancing the activity of healthy cells, inhibiting the spread of cancer cells, etc., all require the participation of protein . Therefore, protein supplementation is very important for cancer patients during treatment. The method of protein supplementation should be determined according to the doctor's advice and the specific cancer condition.
The second point : Don’t be superstitious about folk remedies and stick to regular treatment
Under modern medical conditions, although we cannot completely cure cancer, the process of cancer treatment has been very standardized, and the condition of most cancer patients can be effectively suppressed. Active cooperation with treatment is also one of the essential elements for our success in fighting cancer. Some so-called "ancestral folk remedies" and "folk secrets" have no scientific basis and no effective scientific supervision. If you blindly believe them and take them, they may delay cancer treatment, or they may cause new burdens on the body and cause cancer. A new wave of disease risks. Adherence to regular treatment is the prerequisite for successful anti-cancer treatment.
The third point : Pay attention to post-cancer management and control to avoid recurrence
According to clinical data, more than 30% of cancer patients have cancer recurrence after treatment. In other words, many cancer patients do not pay attention to post-cancer management after treatment, causing cancer cells to "come back" and show signs of recurrence.
Therefore, even after cancer treatment, cancer patients cannot take it lightly. Paying attention to post-cancer management and control is also a key factor in the success of anti-cancer. For example, regular review, insisting on taking medication, and insisting on life control, etc., are all necessary means for post-cancer management and control. Do not think that "everything will be fine" after treatment. Avoiding the risk of recurrence is the top priority in the fight against cancer.
In short, you must find the right method to treat cancer, and do not try blindly, resulting in the phenomenon of "seeking medical treatment in a hurry". Whether it is "starving cancer cells to death" or other new cancer treatment concepts, they all have their own scope of application, so please understand them clearly. If we want to truly fight cancer, we need to pay more attention to the success factors. Only by actively and scientifically fighting cancer can we truly see the dawn of victory.
