What is "TUMOR"?

Tumor is a newborn thing produced by the excessive increase & abnormal disunion of the growing or mature normal body cells under the long-term function of some concerning factors. It is different from the normal tissues and cells. It doesn't obey the metabolism regulation of the normal cells and grows rapidly & out of control with the result that can break normal structure of the organs & tissues and affect their functions. Malignant tumor cell, can still face the surroundings to spread gradually, even metastasize to other organs and tissues, continuing times growing and greatly harming human's body & life. All parts of body are made of different cells & organs, except the hair, teeth and nail, so tumor can appear in almost all the organs, tissues and cells. Therefore, the tumor is not a kind of pure disease, but a major type of complicated disease.

1.The categories of tumor

According to its growth characteristic and the breakage degree of the human body, tumor is usually divided into benign and malignant two major types. Regardless benign or malignant tumor, according to their sources & tissue types, can be divided into epithelial tissue tumor, mesenchymoma, nerve tissue tumor and other tissue tumors etc.. The classification and nomenclature of the tumor are mostly concerning with its tissue occurrence source, biological characteristic and occurrence parts with appearance characteristic, for example, the benign tumor occurring in the epithelial tissue (skin, mucosa etc.), is called "apudoma", while the malignant tumor occurring in the epithelial tissue is called "cancer". Such as: Colon gland apudoma (benign) & colon gland cancer (malignant); bladder nipple-form apudoma (benign) & bladder nipple-form cancer (malignant). But some malignant tumors can also occur in embryo cell or immature primitive mother cell, they are called blastomas (malignant) in this condition, such as kidney blastoma, nerve blastoma etc. If the blastoma occurring in these organs is benign, they will be called the benign kidney blastoma, benign nerve blastoma etc. And in the same way, some benign tumors occurring in various tissues are called the "apudoma", such as mixed tumor, teratoma etc; if they are malignant then calling malignant mixed tumor, teratoma etc. In a word, the tumors occurring in all parts & tissues of human body can be divided into benign & malignant two major types. Certainly, there are also some tumors between benign & malignant, although belong to benign, their cells increase actively, but don't reach malignant degree. It's very difficult to name them benign or malignant. Such tumors are called "critical tumors".

2.The difference between cancer and sarcoma

Both cancer and sarcoma that are malignant tumors, but they are different in their sources. The malignant tumor occurring in the epithelial tissue is called "cancer”, such as the stomach cancer occurring in the epithelial cell of mucous membrane of stomach, the bowel cancer occurring in the epithelial cell of mucous membrane of bowel, the squamous epithelium cell cancer occurring in the squamous epithelium cell, etc. The malignant tumor occurring in the mesenchymal tissue (including the connective tissue and muscle) is called "sarcoma". Such as fibrosarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, lymphosarcoma, osteosarcoma, synoviosarcoma etc. Among malignant tumors, cancer occurs more frequently than sarcoma, but conventionally these two kind malignant tumor cells are both called the "cancer cell", and sometimes all the malignant tumors are called "cancer".

3.How do the normal cells change into cancer?

The formation of tumor, that is to say the normal cells change into cancer, is a very long period. Usually, after getting in touch with carcinogen many years, the tissue & organ cells will be caused to progressive severe atypical proliferation and change into cancer. This period is called inducement period, generally 15-30 years long.

The investigative progress of cell numerator makes people acknowledge that the cell is a complicated and delicate life construction. Among many carcinogens, some influence the gene of cell nucleus to make it change, some affect the surface of cell membrane to change the cell metabolism link by the physical & chemical changes on the membrane. Because of these affects, the endocellular enzyme system and the cell nucleus function are disordered and make the static or normal partite cell appear the abrupt start and the promotion phenomenon of their combination with the deoxyribonucleic acid, causing a series of changes of cell division, divide and grow behavior, and cause the cancer.

Chapter 2

Tumor Phobia---the enemy of tumor sufferers

1.Where there is a will, there is a way.

Where there is a will, there is a way. In another Chinese saying is "no bravery, no achievement".

"Bravery" is the strong will to conquer the difficulties under great pressure. It's the conflict to pressure. It's the disdain to adversity. On the history, all the people, who gained great achievement, overcame various difficulties and persisted many years, and finally they succeeded.

To conquer the tumor is the same. On the opinion of medicine & philosophy, all the treatments to tumor is the external factor, while the prevention on tumor, the belief on overcoming the tumor, the optimistic mind and the body resistance & recovery abilities are the internal factors. Traditional Chinese Medicine pays more attention on the internal factors and takes them as the key to prevent and treat the tumor, and they are the bases for disease getting better or worse. The external factors, including all the treatments and medicine, can function only by internal factors. Therefore, in the process of sufferer's fighting with tumor, sufferer himself or herself is the owner of his or her fate, and shouldn't only depend on a certain treatment or the doctor who fulfill the treatment. At the same time, sufferer shouldn't embrace anxious attitude, and also shouldn't hope to refresh in one morning and all the tumor cells disappear. When the tumor sufferer faces the aggravation, metastasis and spreading, he or she will experience the severe second and third strike. If the sufferer doesn't have the firm determination to fight with the fate and disease for a long period, he or she will definitely collapse once he or she meets the drawback. Nowadays, there are more and better treatments and medicines, and people become more dependant on them and weaken or even lose their strong will against the disease. So we emphasize again and again "Where there's a will, there is a way". Its meaning is particularly profound.

In the recent process of people's struggle with tumor, the technique & effect of both the medicine treatment & physiotherapy are getting better and better on the view of all overall level of treatment. And the overall level of China's research & treatment are NOT inferior to the international level, even more advanced than the international level in a certain field.

The World Health Organization clearly pointed out that" Apply the modern medical knowledge and medical technique to treat all tumors, then 1/3 of the tumors can be prevented;1/3 can be cured if they are early diagnosed; the other 1/3 can be alleviated the pain and life prolonged". With the development and progress of science, the efficient cure rates tumor are getting higher and higher. WTO predicted that in the early 21 century, mankind would conquer the cancer just like conquering the tubercle and other violent infectious diseases. In our country, the detection & treatment of the early tumor have exceeded the international level, such as the prevention and treatment in oesophagus cancer and cervix cancer. We also have made great breakthrough in the treatment for lung cancer. More and more sufferers survived 5--20 years. Many tumor sufferers and their relatives dare not to talk about the cancer. It has two main reasons. One is that the society & media propagate the definite death caused by cancer; the other is that people don't know the new progress and technique made in the tumor prevention and treatment. Therefore, many tumor sufferers and their relatives think that tumor is equivalent to death and tumor is unconquerable. The "will" is lost firstly before they fight with the tumor. This is quite false in fact. To treat the tumors just like start a battle, sufferers hardly realize that the brave soldier is definite to win and when two armies meet, the brave one wins eventually.

2. Face the realities, and conquer the cancer bravely

In fact the tumor exists in everyone's body, the difference is that the tumor in health human body is a milligram tumor or even nanometer tumor, that is to say the tumor's physical volume is smaller than 100 milligrams in human body. At non-tumor surgical operation and other accidents operations, one or even more than one tumors smaller 100 milligram have been found in the sufferers' organs and bellies, but certainly this kind of tumor is NOT harmful to the human body. When the person's mental state is overcast, suppress and in bad immune system & malfunctioned monitor system over a long period of time, this kind of tumor would appear the malignant proliferation and grows up, metastasis, forming the matter-lesion. Therefore, the auspice of tumor is the tumor emotion. Whether in the find of the disease or the process of treatment, it's very important to conquer the tumor emotion and make firm determination & confidence to struggle with the tumor. Good emotion is the key point to cure tumor, so the first problem the sufferer faces is to control the emotion. It has been proved by the fact that optimism definitely leads to victory. The times exaltation of human body immunity can repress the growth of the tumor and make tumor cell conversed, while sorrow, frighten, fear etc., will further break the immunity function and the tumor cell would also excessively increases and the condition would be worsened. The pessimist emotion can cause the cancer, and the optimist emotion can cure the cancer, just like an old Chinese saying that " the water can float the boat, as well can capsize the boat ". Thus, the emotion is very important in tumor prevention and cure, even is a decided factor.

From the comparison with international technique & level of tumor treatment, the whole treatment level of China is superior in the normal treatment such as the surgical operation, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and biotherapy, especially the atraumatic cure of the natural medicine. It's fairly superior to combine the traditional medical science with modern science technique, partial cure with the total body cure, internal use with outside use. These treatment methods can not only kill the growth of tumor cell, make its soften, contract and disappear, but also can increase people's immunity function. This atraumatic treatment is the final target & pursue of both the doctors and sufferers. Now it is realized gradually, especially the application of various nanometer and gene technique. We believe that cancer is conquerable and human will conquer the tumor finally. And the target to refresh the tumor sufferers can be achieved definitely.

Certainly we must point out that even in the next century, serious cold turning to pneumonia will cause death, and tumor disease is the same without doubt. It's impossible to cure all the tumor sufferers by a certain treatment or medicine. It is only on the aspect of tumor curing result statistic to show lower death rate and higher surviving rate. The individual difference exists forever, and science also is gradually perfect. Once living there will be the death, and having the life there will be the disease. Mankind is exactly to evolve in the process of this continuous conflict with disease.

Basic symbols of mental health

Currently more and more people are aware of that good mental health is the spirit motive to adapt to various challenges and keep good living quantity from cradle to the grave. Then, What are the basic symbols of mental health?

1.Have the normal intelligence.

The normal intelligence is essential & necessary for normal life, and it's the initial standard of mental health. People's intelligence is not born to be high or low. It is assembled and improved gradually in the work, study and daily life. It includes people's abilities of observation, attention, imagination, thought and practice etc.

4.Have conducting mindset to adapt and reform the surroundings.

People will produce various desires insensibly in his whole life, some realistic and some unrealistic. We must face the reality, and overcome the unrealistic desires. Just like the common saying says:" contented often happy". In realities, that the individual can't efficiently handle the relation with the surroundings and can't actively adjust mindset facing difficulties and frustration, are the important reasons causing mental obstacle and disease. Thus, the individual should pay more attention to improve the ability of adaptation in daily life.

The will is person's consciousness and also the important spirit support of individual.

Chapter 4

Seven feelings can cause disease and also cure disease.

Seven feelings are the person's seven kind of emotion manifestation; to be specified is the seven kind of feeling activities as "pleased, angry, anxious, considerate, sad, surprised, and fearful". Its abnormality will harm and internal organs. "Both the excess and lack are causes to disease". Too pleased will harm the heart; fear will wound kidney; angry will wound liver; consideration will wound spleen; sad will harm lung. This is the theoretical base of the seven feelings causing diseases.

Just as the old proverb that " the water can float the boat, as well can capsize the boat", the seven feelings can cause diseases, and also can cure the disease. There's another saying that "the illness in the mind need the mind-medicine to cure". The story, which is depicted in the episode "Mr. Fan Jin succeeded in the test given by the imperial government” of the 《 Informal History of learned men 》 , is a typical example. Equally, the tumor needs treat on the mentality.

1. Tumor sufferers need the mental comfort.

Cancer sufferers' mental need is very urgent. The disruption of life target, the variety facial appearance, the weary, smell and pain of body are all possible to make them feel uneasy, frightened, depressed, uncomfortable and painful. These mental and social behavior factors are just the problems psychosocial oncology tends to resolve.

Cancer sufferers' mental changes, such as uneasiness, frightening and depression etc., exist in the beginning of the reception of diagnosis and treatments, covers the inspection, treatment, refreshment and even the critical period. Therefore, the doctor should adopt the delicate treatment according to the patient's mental responds in different stages.

The treatment methods of psychological oncology are different from traditional normal anti-cancer treatment method. Once the sufferer accepts the diagnosis and treatment, he or she will get the treatment of all- directions, stereoscopic type and many courses for the mentality and body, that is to say, the cancer treatment proceeds with the mental treatment at the same time, establishing self-known & self-cure treatment system on the center of the sufferer. Depending on the methods of recuperation, mental treatment etc., treat and nurse the sufferers with the cooperation of the psychological doctor. The sufferer and his or her relatives will be provided with the treatments for body, mentality and sociology etc.

There are 2,600,000 cancer sufferers in our country. 1,800,000 new cancer sufferers appear and 1,400,000 cancer sufferers die every year. On the view of the whole world, the care and nursing of the later period cancer sufferers emphasize on the family and assisted with the concentrating treatment and nursing. Therefore, how to provide the later period cancer sufferer family nursing, is also an important subject of our psychological oncology. The Tumor Prevention Organization should establish the psychological tumor & psychosocial tumor teams made of multi-major and multi-science workers. Each district should establish the training centers constituted of special personnel in oncology and other science fields, well designed according to the social mental oncology theory. And these training centers will carry out the education & training plans of psychological oncology for the medical personnel, and start the related research projects.

2. Tumor sufferers need the passion of success.

The research showed that people could be divided into irritability personality anti-irritability two categories according to their different responses to irritability.

Some people are not sensitive to irritability and their personality characteristics are beneficial to resist the irritability disease. The expert once took two middle-age groups of upper administration personnel in some large public utility units as the research objects. Through the psychological test, some people were found bearing the anti-irritability personality characteristics. These persons are called "hardy" people (hardy, refers to having the abilities of bearing suffering, enduring hardship, braveness and resoluteness). These "hardy" managers undertake a lot of missions, and they grow up under great pressure. Their mental and body conditions are: the blood pressure is not high; seldom getting sick; optimist, hardly having mental vexation. The hardy people's personality characteristics can be summarized to three points: contribution, control and change.

Contribution: They realized that both life and social interaction have a certain purpose & meaning. They participate the life with the positive attitude, energetic and full of vitality.

Control: They have the ability to control their emotion. They can dominate their own life and not for the life. Therefore, they will take measures to guarantee their health. These managers, who bear strong self-control abilities, think that they can solve the important matters in their life and endure the great pressure in their work.

Change: Change refers to that they can change the threats into challenges. Such people welcome the reformation and take it as a part of normal life. They think the change of life is inevitable, so they always examine them on the view of challenges not the threats. In this way, they are always holding the positive and enterprising attitude to life and accustomed to it flexibly.

Research shows that the "hardy" is cushion for resisting the irritability and the weary of mind & body. So, to train "hardy" personality in practical life is positive attitude to support mental healthy. Tumor sufferers need the passion and should dare to overcome the tumor. Succeed need passion and passion is the mother of succeeds.

3. Self-confidence is necessary to dominate the fate.

According to a recent survey, more and more citizens consult the fortune-tellers for their future, especially the youth. Among the investigated people, 45% believe or half believe the fortune-teller. There is a good proverb that "kind mind is better than good fate; active behavior is much better than kind mind". From this unusual phenomenon, it's facile to find the cause that nowadays people have experienced too much depression, frustration and unsteadiness.

The modern people have obtained the highest position in the nature apparently, while can't dominate their own fate in the reality. The helpless and confused feelings often obtain their mind, and they feel that all the bitter things come without saying hello, so they doubt that everything is destined. Many people can't find the spirit support and their minds lose the balance. The mental imbalance is one of the important psychosocial reasons causing seeking fortune-tellers.

Everybody wants to his or her own future and hope to acquire the success and happiness of life. But we must know that destiny is not dominated by the previous incarnation, but chosen by each of our own behavior. We can only choose and expand our life depending on our own effort, courage and intelligence, and then we can be attracted by the life & future and make life meaningful. Those who believe the fate dominate everything the will be the slaves of the destiny. They are willing to obey the destiny no matter it is happy or bitter.

People who believe the destiny dominating everything, we hope you can come out early from the perplexity, leave ignorance to yesterday, use your own hands to build your happy future and be the owner of your own life.

Self-confidence is the essential for life glory and physical & mental health. In the process of tumor treatment, self-confidence, in another word, controlling oneself, is particularly important. Then, as a tumor sufferer, which aspects should the " self-confidence" show in?

① Dare to face the reality even tumor, adopt the positive attitude to treatment, and accept the effective treatment under the guidance of the related expert.

② Be composed and admit that the birth, ageing, disease and death are nature regulations, which are experienced by everyone. Keep an even, positive, optimistic and open-minded philosophy of life. To the disease, embrace the attitudes that “since it comes, face it composedly". On one hand, build the firm confidence on overcoming the disease and agony; on the other hand tell the relatives about the true opinion, the feeling to disease and the plan for future treatment to gain their cooperation.

③ Love life passionately and keep the daily life regulation just like before. Do NOT live a lazy and depressed life.

④ Keep participating some suitable social activities and often chat heart to heart with the relatives and friends. Keep open- minded, bright, optimistic and conducting attitude. Do NOT live alone, be suspicious depressed and sad.

⑤ Still do something that you can do even after falling sick. Do not depend too much on others you are too weak to do.

⑥ With the good condition of both the body and economic, spend some time traveling the scenic area for sightseeing. The attention on the disease will be scattered and at the same time, the body will be exercised and strengthened.

4. Tumor sufferers should dare to "want" recovering from illness

"Deep & still thought" can prevent and be helpful to cure a lot of diseases, such as cancer, AIDS, cardiopathy and arthritis etc..

Who can "deep & still thought" therapy can prevent the diseases and even cure the heavy diseases? Some scholars think that the nervousness can lower the function of immune system, while the process of "deep & still thought" can make the body activities from negative to positive, then prevent and cure the diseases. Although it's still not clear that how the treatment information is delivered from the brain to each cell, they believe it has a certain function on the chemistry delivered to the immune system. Many researches shows taht such chemistry is not active in immune system of vexed & anxious sufferers while active and abundant in slack-minded sufferers.

A survey taken abroad shows that the morbidity rate of the people who often take the "deep & still thought" is 50% lower than others and 87% lower in the aspect of catching the fatal disease. Thus, the "deep & still thought" therapy is more popular now and become a part of the health care athletics to relieve the mental pain. "Deep & still thought" is a kind of mature individual behavior and is also the premise of success.

"Deep & still thought" usually alleviate the disease. It seems like just fantasy, but recent scientific research shows that the medical treatment function of "deep & still thought" is attributed to a certain hormone released as the inside pressure alleviated.

Tumor sufferer should dare to want recovering from disease. To everything, "you want to get it, then you can; if you don't, then you can't". Confirm the belief on overcoming the disease and go forward bravely on the way gaining the refreshment.

5. The mentality also needs to "support the positive and remove the negative".

All the productions of mental obstacles are directly related with bad mental state. If the person is always in the self-disdainful, anxious, frightened and nervous mood, he or she is very inevitable to catch disease.

Mental state is made of opposing & united contradictions, such as self-confidence & self-disdain, bravery and coward, happiness and worry, enrichment and emptiness, composure and anxiety etc. All the formers are positive mental state, and the latter ones are negative mental state.

According to the opposing and unity characteristic of the contradiction, the positive and negative mental states both exist in everybody. The very self-confident person also has a certain self-disdain emotion in his or her mind, while the quite timid person also is brave in some special time.

However, the two aspects of contradiction are not equivalent. They have the difference in No.1 importance or the second. Any people who has excessiveness of self-disdain and a certain mental disease is in the negative mental state. If the funk, being boring and self-disdain take the dominant position, then "the positive is conquered by the negative". So the exit of these people is to take effective measures and practical actions to convert the negative mental state to positive direction. More confidence & bravery, then the self-disdain & coward will be less. The main aspect decides the quality, and if the main aspect changes, the quality will change accordingly. It's same for the tumor sufferers' mental state.

6. The mindset of forgetting oneself.

To enhance the ego accomplishment and keep healthy mental state, we must remove the miscellaneous thoughts reading aloud, and abandon the flighty mindset of "taking only the fame and wealth as target". We should concentrate our mind, use our heart to comprehend instead of only using the ear to listen, furthermore, use the calm & empty mind to response instead of the heart to comprehend. Such calm & empty mood is an advanced mental state. Modern psychology calls it the "unconscious state".

Then, what is the unconscious state?

Unconscious is the opposite side to consciousness. Consciousness is that the people can observe the existence of the host, the objective sensation and the relationship between the host & the objective sensation, while unconsciousness observes none existence of the three aspects. On the view of the result of the observation, the complicated human mentality is constituted of the unconscious and consciousness; that is to say, people's mental activity with purpose is called consciousness, and without purpose is called the unconsciousness. The former intently remembers a certain matter and solves a certain problem after consideration; the latter remembers something without intention and also solves a certain problem after consideration. It is not difficult to find that people are always using their consciousness, and their mind can't rest a while. If the mind continuously works like this, people will feel exhausted and their mental and body health will also be affected. If a person participates life, study and work with great interest, he or she will be relaxed and the energy is saved. Continuing for a long time, the person can keep and even promote the health in both the mind and body.

Why can unconscious make people's energy reserved and health promoted? This is decided by its characteristic that is the "Three Nonexistence". The Chinese idioms as "mind as calm as the inflowing water", " not surprised whether honored or insulted", "indifferent to fame and wealth" etc, intend to attain the unconscious state and forget the three existences, and they are also good methods to set such mental state. The facts of all ages tell people that as long as persisting practice, enhancing the accomplishment, almost everybody can attain the unconsciousness to the three existences when they need rest. Just as our ancestors said in the book 《 Lao Zi 》 and 《 Zhuang Zi 》 that to be calm and empty is very good to health care.

"Forget oneself" is an advanced mental state. The life of a person belongs to the society firstly, secondly to family, and the last to himself or herself. It's duty for society & individual that the individual should keep his or her own mind and body healthy. Tumor sufferers should realize this duty and set up stronger belief to conquer the disease.

7. Tumor sufferer should "sits still to forget oneself".

"Sit to forget" is a method of ego accomplishment raised by "Zhuang Zi" in "Zhan Guo" Epoch. The following great thinkers, such as the Taoist and Confucianism thinkers, all carried out and pursued it.

" Forget the strong and healthy body; forget the sharp intelligence; forget the mind and body; combine with the universe as one unity. This is the meaning for 'sits to forget'." After hearing these words, Confucius said happily:" Combine with the universe as one unity, then we will have no partial hobbies; adjust to the variation, then we will not stick to the conventions. This is the sage."

"Sit still", which is carried out and pursued by the following generations of Taoist, Buddhism, is same with "Sit to forget" on the characteristic of "forget both oneself and the universe".

What on earth is the "Sit still"?

On the view of psychology, "sit still" is a method to change the mental state that is to say to change the people from sober conscious state to unconscious state. When we sit still, we can expel all the miscellaneous thoughts in our brain, and make ourselves turn a deaf ear to everything and our mind be pure & empty. In this way, we can attain the aloof mental state of forgetting ourselves, no us, forgetting the universe and no universe. There are two kinds of "sit still" generally: "open sit still" and "concentrated sit still". The "sit to forget" raised by Zhuang Zi is equivalent to the "concentrated sit still".

"Sit still" is definitely beneficial to adjust the activities of mind & body, and promote their health, for it can make people keep the mental state of "forgetting both oneself and the universe" when people sit still.

While sitting still, we should expel all the miscellaneous thoughts, keep the mind and body harmonious, and be relaxed, comfortable, quite and natural.

8. Depression & anxiety are sick mentality.

In daily life, particularly when facing the irritating and dangerous circumstance, it's the common emotion reaction that people feel frightened, worried and anxious. It will not harm the body & mentality and even is beneficial for people to develop their potential capability and adapt to the environment better. But if the reaction is excessively strong or the reaction appears actually without causes, it will probably harm the health.

Generalized anxiety disorders: Its characteristics are continuity and diffusibility. It can cause the body and mind uncomfortable, and lasts more than 6 months. Such continuous anxiety tortures the sufferer's body and mentality gradually, consumes the energy and make the sufferer easy to feel tired.

Panic attack: It refers to the sufferer's expression of severe anxiety and panic, accompanied with obvious body symptoms. The symptoms are mainly including the drastic palpitation, occlusive feeling in the throat, asphyxial feeling, syrigmus, dizziness and polypnea etc.. What's more, the sufferer has the strong feeling of panic and often feels to die immediately or go crazy. After the attack, the sufferer will feel tired, whole body aching and perspiring etc.

How to recover if one catches the anxiety disorders?

(1) Change the perception method; train the ego consciousness; abandon the unalterable concept; boycott the distorted perception. If you hold the bias to the threat in reality, you will excessively exaggerate the result, emphasize the disadvantages only and neglect the advantages. Try to find the situations under which the anxiety disorders will appear, the methods to be adopted and their alleviation degree, then you choose the effective one and abandon invalid one.

(2) Under the guidance of technical doctor to learn the controlled respiration, relaxation training, systematic desensitization therapy and the flooding etc..

(3) Biofeedback therapy: this therapy is to use the modern electronics instrument to handle and enlarge the biology information of the body activities connecting with the psychological & physiological process, and train people the cognition ability to these information. Then people can control their own psychological & physiological activities consciously, and attain the purpose to adjust the body function and prevent and cure the diseases.

(4) Drug therapy: As an adjuvant therapy, it is of certain effect on alleviating the anxious emotion and improving the body symptoms.

We believe that as long as you recognize the source of the problems, improve the cognition level and correctly master the techniques to cope with problems, you can definitely overcome the anxiety disorders and begin your new happy life with a promising future.

9. Tumor sufferers should be good at controlling the angry emotion.

"Anger" is one of the "seven feelings". And it's the frequently emerged emotion when people get in touch with the society, especially when dealing with the interpersonal relations.

On the opinion of the traditional Chinese medicine, "anger harms the liver". It also shows its harm in hindering and destroying the normal movement of the odor & blood. The ancients said that: “great anger will block the odor, and even cause." "Anger harms the liver; blood will not compatible in the vessels; then the odor will be pressing. Then the person will have hematemesis and faint." If the liver odor adversely flows, it will attack the spleen and stomach and cause the digestion function obstacle, appearing the symptoms as abdominal distension, stomachache, gag, vomit and diarrhea etc.. Harm the liver; harm the odor and harm the blood. These three things are of interaction and intercausality. The anger hurts not only the body, but also the mentality. Therefore, people should control the anger.

Then, how to control the anger or lessen the anger? The ancients valued the "endure" very much, and took the endurance as the best method. Controlling the anger is very important and should be killed in the cradle. Anger is very harmful to the health; but the endurance can control it. Persisting on endurance cannot only overcome the anger but also form a broad mind that can condone others in any circumstance. If you are such a broad-minded person, where can the anger come from?

Generally speaking, it is pretty good to overcome the anger by endurance and to cultivate good mentality by endurance. However, there are conditions for endurance. When it should be endured, we endure it. We will never endure the insult and never take the obsequious servile behavior just for the sake of" endure". Certainly, we should disclose and condemn the behavior of taking intolerant actions with the disguise of "endurance". Heart needs the emotion catharsis. Catharsis is also a necessary and effective means to overcome the anger & eliminate the poison on the mind. Never force yourself to endure anything; otherwise your disease will be aggravated.

10. The power of the consciousness can control the disease.

Doc. Ciger, the professor of Yale University in USA, thinks the information that what a man the sufferer believes himself or herself is, will be conveyed by the spirit system without doubt. 《 Psychoneural Immunology 》 is a great work studying the interaction of human mind and body. It has been verified in the book that the conviction plays an extremely important role in the function of the treatment, and its even more important than the drug therapy. For example, an authority TV station reported that several athletes appeared the food poisoning, supposed that it was caused of drinking a certain beverage, and warned people not to drink this kind beverage, describing the poisoned symptoms meanwhile. Immediately the dismay took place among the audience and some began nauseating and vomiting, and some even fainted. Finally it was found that there was nothing wrong with the beverage and the strange thing was that the "patients" among the audience recovered without any treatment. We can conclude from this event that as a kind of conscious activity, the conviction really has a certain influence on people.

11. The placebo can relieve the pain of the disease under a certain circumstance.

The "placebo effect" refers to supplying the patient a "pill" or an "injection" made of starch and having no medical effect. Then the doctor tells the patient that this is the specific to cure his or her disease, the patient gets better. This effect actually is the effect of conviction. It was reported on the 《 International Medical News 》 in 1990 that the placebo could satisfactorily remove the symptoms on the 35% of the patients participating the experiment. The interpretation of some western scholars to this peculiar phenomenon is that the spirit can cause the chemistry process changes inside the body and such changes are just the believed & expected results. If the patient believes the drug contains the matter that can attain his treatment aim, then his or her body will or probably will accordingly change to fulfill the aim.

Therefore, many scientists advocate combining the prevention & treatment system of body disease with the conviction system closely, because the hope, expectation, conviction and the consciousness to survive play an important role in the struggle with the disease, and the conviction system can turn them into beneficial factors in the struggle. Then, whether the "placebo" therapy is suitable for the tumor sufferers or not, is a subject that should be probed.

Chapter 5

Keep regular life style

The Confucius said: “Always being stern and never lenient, WEN (Emperor WEN of Zhou dynasty) & WU (Emperor WU of Zhou dynasty) wouldn't; always being lenient and never stern, WEN & WU wouldn't either. Being stern and never lenient alternately is the ruling method of WEN WU."( Please refer to 《 Etiquette Records · Others 》 ) . The successors interpret the ruling method "being stern and lenient alternately" into the life style "Working and resting alternately".

People need relaxed rest after tense work to refresh the body function and prevent from stamina over consumed and psychosomatic fatigue. The ruling method of WEN WU "being stern and never lenient alternately" is actually the method of health care. Confucius illustrated the truth more than 2000 years ago and it's still quite scientifically today. Chairman MAO Zedong wrote in his book 《 to the editing personnel of <JINSUI Daily> 》 :" Your weakness is too stern. Too stern, you will collapse. "Being stern and lenient alternately" is the ruling method of WEN WU. And it's time for you to being lenient, then you will be more energetic."

"Working and resting alternately" is also the regulation of the organism activities. Both "working without resting" and "resting without working" are unreasonable and don't conform to the organism regulation. But in reality, some people make such mistakes consciously or unconsciously. Some students study very hard and even have no time for sports and entertainment, but they don't get high scores in the tests. They do not know the break, so they can't study well. If the working doesn't harmonize with the resting, the study efficiency will decline. Different parts of the human brain have their different mission. The reading brain cells faint and can't keep excited. At this time, you should take a break, going out to play basketball or do other exercises. Thus, the other cells will be excited and the reading brain cells can have a rest. If you go on studying after such function conversion, the efficiency can be improved consumedly.

In daily life, there is much irritation that can cause the mentality disease. In practical life, many people endeavor for their dreams, working continuously without resting. When they get closer and closer to their dreams, they fall into the ditch of mentality unexpectedly, worn out in mind and energy.

In psychology, there is a kind of so-called "horse race" people. They take the competition and work as the pleasure, and love the life fraught with pressure. They are unwilling to be inferior to others and hope to be outstanding in society. For the long-term tense spirit and excessive burden on mind, these people are very easy to catch the heart disease, hypertension and neurosis etc.. When they lose health and can't work, they still wouldn't give up the work, and resting & relaxed life will increase their mental burden on the contrary. They are just like the running horse and can't stop on the whole process of their life. To them, the principle "working and resting alternately" seems more important.

Chapter 6

The middle-aged people should start to prevent the "minute cancer".

The scientific research discovers that there are more or less cancer cells existing in normal human body, which are disintegrated from the gene mutation. Although the immune system of human body has the function to remove the dissident, suppress and resist cancer cell, it's still possible to let an excrescent cell escape and survive in the body. Especially when people get older and influenced by the physiology senility, disease and false mentality etc., their immune system functions and capacities of removing the dissident will decline. Then the abnormal cells will get more changes to survive.

A concerning data shows that the cancer cell generally has two obvious characteristics: One is that it increases with the form of the geometric progression constantly; The other is that it has the strong spreading ability and can attack & occupy the space of other organs. It lasts about 20~30 years from the first cancer cell appearing to the obvious clinical symptom. It experiences three periods of the "minute cancer", "milligram cancer" and the "clinical cancer". The weight of minute cancer lump is 0-1 milligram, and its diameter is only 1~3 millimeters. It's really too small to mention. The cancer cell needs about 6 years to develop into the minute cancer, which can't be found out by the general inspection. The minute cancer needs 6~9 years to develop into the milligram cancer. Its weight is 1~10 milligram; diameter is 3~4 millimeters; quantity is 1~1000 million. And it can be found out by the advanced medical inspection. The milligram cancer needs about 9 years to develop into the clinical cancer. It weighs more than one gram and the diameter is more than 5 millimeters, and the clinical symptom is already obvious.

Cancer cells probably exist in human body, and the cancer cells have strong increasing & spreading abilities. But this does not mean that everyone will get the cancer, it has close relationship with the human body immunity. If the immunity is strong, the cancer cell is hard to convert to minute cancer, milligram cancer; on the contrary, it can make the minute cancer, milligram cancer fade away. Therefore, it's very important to prevent the development of the cancer cell, the minute cancer etc.. 50-60 is the rush time for people to get clinical cancer. Since the minute cancer need 15~20 years to develop into clinical cancer, the middle age, that is to say in 40's, is the rush time for people to get minute cancer and milligram cancer. This warns people to strengthen the consciousness of ego care and pay more attention on anti-cancer from the minute one. In daily life, do more exercises to strengthen the body: defer the decrepitude of the immunity; keep scientific diet and eat more food with the function of anti-cancer & strengthening immunity; avoid the damage on body function from the physical, chemical and biological factors, and protect the immune system function, so that attain the aim of "anti-cancer when not yet caught".

Chapter7

The perfectionists live tiredly.

There was a girl saying to me once like this:" I want to insist on running in the morning, but I can't get up early in the morning everyday. Occasionally I got up early to exercise, but I gave it up several days later. I really hate myself; hate lacking the stamina. What should I do?"

My answer is very simple:" To exercise in the evening."

The girl was surprised at my answer and the answer was out of her expectation. And she thought that I would give some good advice on how to strengthen her stamina.

The girl's mentality is the typical thought method of perfectionists, in another word; it's the absolute mentality of "owning everything or nothing". For example, when a perfectionist is on diet, he thinks himself "proceed very well" or "fall to the ground", and he has the strict standard to evaluate the two situations. If he takes meals completely according to the diet plan, he will be very happy and feels himself in the "sage state"; But once he occasionally disobeyed this perfect plan, he will lose the diet motives of pursuing perfection, and this will cause his "sin" mental state. Thus, the thought orbit of perfectionists is: high target--easy to fail--depressed--higher target--fail again--being stroked again--more perfect requirement. But my way of thinking and its effect are: Lower easy target-- succeed or complete-- self-confidence- higher target- more self-confident.

How can the perfectionists overcome their own perfectionism tendency? Firstly, the perfectionists should understand the disadvantages of such mentality, such as: Can not complete the work because of the extremely nervous spirit; Dare not to break through for the fear of making mistakes; Dare not try the new things; Usually make self- reproach deprive the fun of his or her own life; Always being agitated for the discovery of his or her own minor faults; Usually feel the target excessive high, lack confidence, and can't carry out the plan, etc..

Secondly, the perfectionist should pursue the "better" instead of "best". In the working process, set a practical target, then you will have more confidence to succeed and less spirit pressure & setback felling for failure. Naturally, you will have more abilities and creative power. You will probably find that you can achieve more if you don't stick to one thing.

Lastly, enumerate the satisfactory matters you did and the achievements you got before you fall asleep in the evening. Insisting on it for two weeks, then you can remove your habit of self-reproach. And even if you made mistakes, you should draw the lesson from it and remember it tightly. Do not fear to make mistakes, and we should draw a lesson from every mistake we made.

In one word, abandoning the perfectionism mentality, you will feel the relaxed delectation, and feel full of creative power naturally, and then you will work more efficiently and be full of self-confidence.

Chapter 8

It is difficult to buy the " psychological medicine" even if you are rich.

Currently, facing the social situation of quick rhythm, high revolving, vigorous competition, many people are difficult to adapt to it quickly, psychological balance broken and obstacle formed. However, it's not easy to cure the psychological disease, because it can't be cured simply by medical treatment means, and it depends more on the “psychological medicine”. It's up to the people himself or herself to find the “psychological medicine”, and more ego adjustments & treatments are needed.

Although the “psychological disease” is difficult to cure, it's must be cured. It not only brings bad changes on people's spirit and emotion, but also disorders the physiological function. For a long time, it can change into some diseases both on the mind & body, such as hypertension, coronary heart disease (CHD) and tumor etc.. Then, the whole health level will decline. Thus, the “psychological disease” must be cured.

“Psychological disease” must be cured, but the “psychological medicine” is not easy to get. The disease on physical is probable to be cured if you spend much money on it; but the disease on mind is not easy to be cured even if you spent much more money on it. On the contrary, it can be cured without paying a penny. I have a colleague, who was depressed all day long for he couldn't get title promoted because of his lack of profession educational background. After a long time, the depression symptoms appeared, such as dizzy, wakefulness, inappetence and diarrhea etc. To cure these diseases, he ate many Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine without any effect. One day, he suddenly got good news that his application for advanced title was passed as an exception by the organization in consideration of his technique level and working performance. This good news invigorated him very quickly; he discarded his depressed emotion and put his heart and soul into the work of medical treatment & teaching. His depression was cured without medicine. Such things are very common in practical life.

Whether the "psychological medicine" is difficult to get depends on the people himself or herself, not others. To get the “psychological medicine”, the first thing is to improve the psychological character, that is to say, usually pay attention to the individual cultivation, being optimist & open-minded, content & happy, willing to help others, composed to deal with difficulties without surprise. Prevent when it's in the cradle, then you can reduce the occurrence of the “psychological disease”. Secondly, you should be aware of your own “psychological disease”, then prescribe the “psychological medicine” to adjust the mentality. This prescription has three key points. The first one is to untie the “knot” on your mind. Some “psychological diseases” are caused by the people himself or herself, such as jealousy, suspicion etc. As long as you open your mind, accept others and comprehend others, you will untie the “knot” on your mind. The second is to alleviate the misery on the mind. There are too many unfair & unpleasant things in the life. We needn't worry about the things not happened, thinking openly and looking forward for the bright future. Even if you met the unfair things, you should be calm & composed and hold the mindset of "lift the heavy thing as if it is light", keeping firmly in mind that "the enchanting sight will appear in another village" to dilute the unhappiness on the mind. The third thing is to unload the psychological burden. The “psychological disease” we often mention probably refers to the obstacle on the mind, which is influenced by various factors. It will make the mind over-burdened, just like an invisible shelter disordering the health and normal thought method, and then thought disorders will occur and become “psychological disease”. To cure this disease, you should actively discard interference, punctually convert the thought means and methods, using various means, such as talking heart to heart, taking a walk, thinking deeply and still or seeing the psychological consultants etc., to unload the burden on the mind, invigorate the spirit and put heart & soul into the colorful life. "Be tolerate" is the best medicine to cure the psychological disease.

Then, how do the tumor sufferers face the reality with self-confidence? Let's see how the following tumor sufferers fight with cancer.

Example 1

The self-confidence is the premise to defeat the cancer.

After catching the cancer, Mr. Wu Shixiong thought, “Since everyone must die, the death is only the question of time”. He said: “On the consideration of this point, I didn't feel nervous any more and became more comfortable. I wanted to fight with the cancer. Even if there was only 1/1000 can be cured, I would actively try to be that one. I'm full of self-confidence and staunch to live on with high quality.”

On one hand, he insisted on coordinating with the doctor for chemotherapy; On the other hand, he enhanced the body function. He began to nauseate and vomiting 30 seconds after the chemotherapy medicine was infused to his body. He said:” I feel I even spew out my stomach. Then, I adopted two methods. One is to leave the treatment to the doctor. The other is to emphasis on the nutrition and rest. So no matter how miserable of the nausea and vomit caused by the daytime chemotherapy was, I insisted on taking meals. Ate then vomited; vomited then ate again. Even it's late in the night, I ate to guarantee the nutrition. And after I went to bed, I thought about nothing to make myself fall asleep as soon as possible. Sometimes I fell asleep when roommates chatted with me.

“Fever is an inevitable side-effect. And my body temperature often rose to 39 centigrade. Despite taking medicine to lower the temperature, I even ate much cool food. Although it was winter, I ate a big orange can once to bring down the fever as soon as possible. I believed I could persist on it, defeat the disease and survive eventually. Since 3 times chemotherapy didn't alleviate my disease, the doctor decided to do it again using the middle dosage. The dosage of this time is 10 times of the dosage of the former 3 times. I leaned on the bed, weak and feeble. When my colleagues came to see me, I didn't want to say a word and dare not lie down. I felt that once I lay down, I couldn't stand up again. The only thought on my mind is insisting. Insisting is victory. Finally, I succeeded. After 4 times chemotherapy, my symptoms were alleviated. This was the evidence of my self-confidence.”

Example 2

Amicable family is the strong motivation for the tumor sufferers to conquer the disease.

Sufferer Mr. Li Ximing recalled that from the first day I was hospitalized, my wife accompanied me 75 hard days, sleeping on the march-bed with clothes. As long as I moved a little, she would be wakened and got up to ask me ‘what's the matter' & ‘what do you want'. If I wanted to eat fruit, she would slice the fruit to slices or scrape it into foams by spoon, then feed me the slices or foams to avoid my alveolar hemorrhage by hard food. Whatever I wanted to eat, she would go out to buy it for me, even if it was chilly outside. She often hid at the stairs to cry stealthily. But once she returned to the sickroom, she would try to keep a smiling face. I often told her some humors to make her smile, please her and console her. We never talked about my disease to avoid arousing the misery. When I needed the massage, my son would do it on the designated part. When he finished it, he was all wet for perspiring. It's four years from I caught disease. 22 times chemotherapies have done on me, and my disease is alleviated. Now I recover very well, and I can do all the family trifles to lessen the burden of my wife and let them working and studying with full energy.

Example 3

Be open-minded to face the disease.

Besides medicine treatment, psychological treatment is very important. As long as you hold the firm belief on the mind, there's the hope to recover. Bad emotion can destroy a healthy people, then it will be more easily to destroy a person with severe disease.

Sufferer Mr. Zhang Jianghong said: "During the time I was ill, all the new or old patients and my family loved to chat with me. Even when I was preceding the chemotherapy, I didn't forget to tell humors & jokes. I usually infected them with the optimistic attitude. Many patient friends often took me as the example, being open-minded to face the disease and full of confidence on the bright future.

Chapter 9

Being tranquil is an effective means for health care.

In the whole life, there is much happiness, and also much misery. Currently the world is crowded and with nervous rhythm. Many people are in the tense spirit state of “work excessively for the fame and wealth”. Influenced by the bad emotion, the occurrence rate of “modern disease” rises in a straight-line, such as tumor, diseases on the heart, brain and blood vessel, diabetes mellitus (MD), chronic liver disease and depression etc.

The medical research shows that the emotion is closely combined with the health. Optimist emotion can make the body organs function healthily and improve the immunity. At the same time, only in the tranquil emotion, people can carry out the intellectual activities continuously. Our ancestors realized it already and got an effective means for health care that is being tranquil.

Being tranquil is the base of health care. Otherwise, you can't get the effect of body health, even if you ate more nutrient food or got medical treatment. Mr. Lu Tianyi of Yuan Dynasty said in his famous works 《 Precious Health methods 》 :"being depressed, you will catch many diseases; being tranquil, you will recover from many diseases. ". He also listed many examples to explain the lesson of “Kind people will have less desire, then be tranquil. The tranquil people will live a longer life.” Being tranquil is to say having less desire and being tolerant to all the vexations, caring nothing outside the body such as the fame & wealth, entering a pure mental state and opening a bright psychological space for the people himself or herself.

The practical action of being tranquil is to listen still to the nature sounds. Nature sounds refer to the sounds of wind, rain, birds and the flowing water etc. The purpose of still listening to the sounds of nature is to purify the brain, quite the mind, adjust the nerve and relax the mentality, such as in the morning listening to the chirps of the insects, the singing of the birds, and the "shasha" of the wind blowing the leaves, etc ， from the near to the distant, from low to high, from rough to slight. Then you can imagine anything. It seems that some sounds come into your ears from the sky continuously and slightly. When you listen to the nature sounds, all the depression, worry, misery etc, will disappear immediately. And you will be relaxed, free and easy.

The ancients understood this truth very well. There was even a wise man, thinking that human's most advanced state is to merge into an integral whole with trees, flowers, and grass. Therefore, many of them listened to and tasted the nature sounds consciously or unconsciously. They benefited from it much and made many wonderful poems about it.

Still listening to the nature sounds is the method to go back to the nature, relief the tense nerve, eliminate the miseries, and calm the mind & cultivate the spirit. To gain the rest in the deep heart is also the key point of the China Chi Kung.

Furthermore, we should learn from Mr. Zhuang Zi on health care.

The book 《 Essential Points of Health Care 》 written by Mr. Zhuang Zi in Zhanguo Dynasty is specially discussing the health care. Then, what essential points are talked in this book?

The first one is to adjust to the nature. The beginning of this book written concisely: “My life is limited, while the knowledge is unlimited. You will be tired if you use your limited life to pursue the unlimited knowledge. You realized it, but you still keep on pursuing it. That is dangerous. ..." In fact, it tells people not to be keen on pursuing the fame and wealth. It is not only difficult to get, but also can harm the somatopsychic health. So we should accept the warning of Mr. Zhuang Zi.

The second is to forget the emotion. On the basis of adjusting to the nature, the book emphasizes on advising people to forget the emotion. To this, it starts the discussion about the topic of "Condole Mr. Lao Dan". Mr. Lao Dan died, then "The old cried just like their son died; the young cried just like their mother died..." The following meaning is that why so many people cry at Mr. Lao Dan 's death? That's because they are all miserable about they death. While in fact, both living and death are natural things. Living is necessary, and the death is occasional. So, why be miserable? People should realize that happy to live and sorry to die disobey the conventions. People should be used to the natural changes and free from the misery & happiness of the birth, aged, illness and death. Then neither misery nor happiness can enter people's mind.

The third is not to be tired for "matter". That is to say, not to hurt yourself for coveting outside "matter". Here the "matter" refers to fame and wealth. If the person is free of fame and wealth, he or she will stay healthy and young. Adjusting to the nature & forgetting the emotion, as mentioned above, are also containing the meaning of being free of "matter” in fact. The three essential points are related with each other. We should point out that the three essential points of Mr. Zhuang Zi have profound meaning on keeping the health of body and mind.

Chapter 10

Struggling life depends on the essence, breath and spirit.

The ancient medicine experts and thinkers took the essence, breath and spirit as the essential elements of people's life, and figured them into "three treasures" together with some essential matters which all things in the nature relied on. That is:

Three treasures of sky: Sun, Moon, and Star;

Three treasures of earth: wind, fire, and water;

Three treasures of human: essence, breath and spirit.

Essence, breath and spirit are three precious essential elements constitute of human life, and naturally they have close relationship with people's psychosomatic health. Thus, the importance of preserving the essence, breath and spirit is very obvious.

Then, how do the essence, breath and spirit show importance on health care?

Let's talk about "breath" firstly. The ancient people thought that the "breath" was the essential matter and minimum particle to maintain the function of the life, and they were also the form of the organs function. It was written in 《 Zhuang Zi · Zhibeiyou 》 that: “People live because the breath assembles. Assembling leads to living; scattering causes death...Thus, the breath is very important. " Thus, it's obvious that people's living or death relied on the breath assembling & scattering. 《 Guan Zi 》 also stated that "The breath flows freely, then will live. " It also means that if the breath is blocked, people will die. That was to say, people's living and death were not only connected with the breath assembling & scattering, but also depended on its flowing freely or not.

The ancient thinkers thought that "essence" was the important material foundation of the human body life activities, coming from the inborn, and being nourished after birth. It was often called "kidney essence". Only when the "kidney essence” was abundant, the vitality could be prosperous, and its resisting ability to the diseases would be stronger. So, in the history, many thinkers, medical experts and health care experts advocated keeping the essence, consolidating the essence and protecting the essence.

Lastly, let's talk about the "spirit". "Spirit" has the broad meaning and the narrow meaning. The narrow meaning refers to people's consciousness, felling, thought activities etc, such as the senses of hearing, smell, taste and thought etc. The broad meaning refers to the outside appearances of life. The "spirit" we will talk about is the appearance of the life activities. The motive power of the life activities comes from the matters such as "essence" & "breath" etc. While, only when human body has the "spirit", it can maintain and harmonize internal organs to function normally. The 《 Nei Jing 》 also told us that the "spirit" occurred on the basis of two life matters "essence" and "breath", then it dominated the life activities of the human body. That is to say, from the brain to the internal organs, all parts of the human body's, seven facial organs to the veins and arteries, even the whole body all depend on the "spirit" to maintain their normal function. Once lose the "spirit", people will have no vitality, be dizzy and fall to death. Therefore, 《 Nei Jing 》 summarized that :" Get the spirit, you will prosperous; Lose the spirit, you will die." So, people should pay special attention to keeping the "spirit" while fostering the breath and consolidating the essence.

Chapter 11

Be alert to the "cancer personality"

Before they catch cancer, many cancers sufferers were depressed & introverted, wouldn't express the happiness & anger, felt inferior to others, suppressed their true personalities, were not good at making deep & sincere friends, and communicating with others. Experts call such personality "cancer personality".

The medical field has cared the relationship between personality and cancer for many years. After observing and analyzing the mentality & health state of 1300 medical university graduates, American scholars found that the people, who were often isolated or stirred up troubles, were easier to catch the cancer in digestion system and lymph system, such as stomach cancer, pancreas cancer, colon cancer, lymphatic gland cancer etc.

Currently, the society is full of various fierce competitions. And people's mentality burden gets heavier accordingly. If they usually indulge in such negative mental state, their abilities of resisting diseases will decline doubtlessly. Apparently they are tolerate and generous, but in their deep mind, they are angry on their unfortunate experience, the injustice they suffered and the benefit they didn't get. Such conflict and unbalance of mind will influence the immune system function directly by central nervous system(CNS) or indirectly by the endocrine system, then urge the occurrence of cancer. What's more, since the introverted sufferers can't relieve from the psychological danger by themselves, their treatment effects are usually worse than those of the optimistic sufferers.

Bad personality can cause cancer. This may bring uneasiness to the people who have the " cancer personality", and also can deepen the misery of the unfortunate cancer sufferers with " cancer personality". To the former, the expert's advice is that "the man's natural character is difficult to change" states it's not easy to change the personality, but it's not absolutely unchangeable. In fact, as long as you strengthen the self-confidence, enhance the accomplishment in thought and moral qualities; you can gradually make yourself attain the broad-minded state. Optimistic emotion and hopeful life have profound meaning to the prevention and treatment of the cancer.

1. The characteristics of the "cancer personality"

The research discovers that most cancer patients have the same typical personality. Those, who depend on others excessively, feel despairing and helpless while being depressed, are easy to catch cancer. "Cancer personality" has the following specific expression:

① Introverted character, apparently obedient but the deep mind full of anger & complaint, struggling miserably, having the spirit hurt history;

② Depressed emotion, being angry quietly and not willing to express it;

③ A small trifle in life can make the person anxious and stay in nervous state;

④ Apparently making self-sacrifice and thing about others, but unwilling in mind.

⑤ Meeting the difficulties, do not try to overcome it at the beginning and at last falling in the dilemma;

⑥ Be afraid of competition, evading the reality and attempting to attain the deceitful and harmonious psychological equilibrium by appeasement.

2. Check yourself to see whether you have the tendency of "cancer personality" or not.

How to determine whether you have the "cancer personality"? The psychologist listed several standards to help you find out if you are easy to catch cancer.

① When you are outraged, you usually can't express it;

② Under any circumstances, you try your best to finish the assignments well and pursue the perfect and be afraid of others' fastidiousness;

③ You look on yourself as a very cute and kind person, often make great concessions and care other people very much to own evaluation, and also care others' evaluation to you very much;

④ You often feel yourself have no value and generally lonely and isolated and rejected by others;

⑤ If you can only live half a year from now, you will absolutely not continue the things you are doing;

⑥ If you has been told that your disease is in late period, you will be depressed and refuse all the treatments.

If you agree with two of the above 6 standards, that is to say you have the "cancer personality". But you needn't be frightened, after the "cancer personality", there's the true you behind. If you can conduct the psychological inquiry, then under the guidance of the psychologist, maybe you can find the true side of yourself and improve your own personality.

Chapter 12

The value of the tribulation

A wise man said:" Tribulation is the torture to people's body & mind, and is also the test to people's determination. But it's the ‘cushion' for future success."

Simon Qian experienced tribulation, then became the historian; Edison experienced the tribulation, then became the inventor King; Nobel experienced the tribulation, then became the science leader; Van Gown experienced the tribulation, and then became the great man in the drawing field. …… Before the Chinese and foreign great men and celebrities in the history succeeded, none of them hadn't experienced great tribulation.

Some people think that the tribulation is a great fortune in life. It can make people keep the brain bright, perfect intelligence, improve the abilities and see through everything in the world. Other people think that owning the tribulation just like getting a license to dance in the life stage.

I especially love to make bosom friends with those who have experienced tribulation. From them, I can learn the knowledge that cannot be learned from the books. They are just like a series of thrilling stories, showing the sceneries of the rising and falling of life. They are also like playing a series of life symphonies.

To our ancestors, tribulation is a misery sea that must be crossed. It's the obstacle between the clouds and sunshine, the brambles and the flowers. The tribulation set up their great images and diligent disposition. Just because they had suffered a lot from tribulation, they had stronger wishes of pursuing the happy life.

Contrasted with enough food, hungry is a kind of tribulation; Contrasted with warmth, cold is a kind of tribulation; Contrasted with easiness & comfort, weariness and tiredness is a kind of tribulation; Contrasted with relaxedness, depression is a kind of tribulation; Contrasted with enjoying the big house, living in a small room is a kind of tribulation; Contrasted with driving BM & Benz, walking on feet to a distant place is a kind of tribulation; Contrasted with health, disease is a kind of tribulation . ……

I think the tribulation on the world is various. If you are lucky enough to experience one of them, you will get an opportunity to improve yourself and benefit from it all your life. In fact, when you look back after you succeed, you will be proud of the tribulation you have experienced. The voice in you deep mind will be that I thank the tribulation, and it's the tribulation that told me the truth of the life; I thank tribulation, and it's the tribulation that gave me the opportunity in life, and made my life colorful & glorious.

Chapter 13

What kind of people does the cancer love to catch?

After the research of many years, the foreign medical experts discover that several kinds of people are easy to catch cancer.

1. Depressed and introverted people

Just like what we have talked, on the clinical opinion, the introverted people, the people who excessively suppress his or her fond, anger, sorrow and happiness, and who are not good at communicating with others, self-disdainful, narrow-minded, are easy to catch cancer.

2. People of allergy.

The United States scientists investigated 40,000 people, and discovered that the people allergic to medicines or chemicals were easier to catch cancer then those who didn't have allergy history. For example, the female with allergy history are easier to catch breast cancer than the normal ones, and the female with allergy history are easier to catch the prostate cancer than the normal ones.

3. Sit up people

Although the mystery of cancer cause still hasn't been found out completely, we can ensure that bad sleep is a very dangerous factor. Cancer cells are formed by the mutation during the fission of the normal cells. While the night is the rush time of the cell fission, bad sleep can make the body difficult to control the mutation to cancer cells. The sit up people often smoke or drink coffee for refreshing. It will let more carcinogens enter the body.

4. Fat people

The research data of Columbia University shows that the danger of fat female catching colon cancer was 2 times than that of the normal female. American Cancer center reported that the possibility of female, who is fat in the parts above the waist, to catch mammary gland cancer, is 4~6 times than that of the normal female.

5. People lacking vitamin

Swiss experts think the people lacking protection vitamin are easy to catch cancer. To the people lacking vitamin A, the sickness rate of stomach cancer increases 3~5 times; To the people lacking vitamin C, the sickness rate of bladder cancer, esophageal cancer, and adrenal gland cancer increases 2 times; To the people lacking vitamin E, the sickness rate increases in cheilocarcinoma, oral cancer, pharynx cancer, skin cancer, cervix cancer, stomach cancer, bowel cancer, lung cancer etc.

6. People with excessively low cholesterol

Excessive high cholesterol can cause CHD and apoplexia, so many intend to lower it. In fact, cholesterol is one of the indispensable nutrients in human body, and it's also the guard to diseases. To cholesterol, it doesn't mean the lower, the better.

7. Hypertension sufferers

American clinical research on more than 300,000 men shows that the sickness rate and death rate of the hypertension sufferers are over 2 times than the people with normal blood pressure. It also predicts that in the future 10 years, the cancer death rate may go up with blood pressure raise in direct proportion. Of course, this doesn't mean that the hypertension can cause cancer, but these two diseases have some common mechanisms, for example, fatness, alcohol abuse, eating too much salt etc can propel the blood pressure rise, and also can evoke the cancer.

8.People who often hold the breath, urine, faeces and the flatus

(1) Hold the breath: Holding the breath, the human body will in the anoxia state. And if you hold the breath for a long time, it can cause the blood circulation being blocked. Lightly, it can make people dizzy, dimmed eyesight, heart palpitates and the illusion appearing; Seriously, it can cause the cerebral thrombus, apoplexia, and hemiparalysis, it can even cause the myocardial infarction (MI), and endanger the life. What's more, often holding the breath will hurt internal organs, stop the breath, form the ecchymoma and be easy to produce the tumor.

(2) Hold the urine: If you don't eject the urine punctually, the urine will stay in the bladder for a long time. It can make the bladder operation and the sphincter urethra muscle flabby, and eventually result in incontinent urine and diabetes insipidus etc. What's more, there're many poisonous matters in the urine. If you hold it for a long time, these poisonous matters will harm the human body, becoming bladder cancer or other tumors.

(3) Hold the faeces: The people with coprostasis and hemorrhoid can't exclude the faeces every time they want. This will make the humidity in the faeces absorbed by the bossy again, and the faeces will be drier and more difficult to exclude. The patient will be more painful. There are some poisonous matters in the faeces. So if it stays in human body for a long time, it's easy to cause some diseases, such as colon cancer or rectum cancer especially.

(4) Hold the flatus: To the people with bad enterogastric function, much flatus will occur in their bodies, if they catch a cold or often eat some food that can producing air. At this time you should eject it out. If you hold it, the symptoms such as burbulence will appear and it even can cause enteron tumor.

9. People loving eating meat

Eating excessive animal fat is a main factor of some cancers. The experts of Harvard University discovers that the sickness rate of bowel cancer of the women whose daily staple food are pork, beef, mutton ect, is 2~5 times than those who eat meat only several times every month. Current in Japan, the daily-consumed fat is 4 times than the 50's, accompanying the raise of sickness rate in cancer.

Chapter 14

Care cancer sufferers appropriately

Appropriate concern and care are the sources of bravery for the cancer sufferers fighting with the diseases, especially the leader's warm concern and the family's meticulous care. These will help them keep peaceful mood and strengthen the confidence to overcome the cancer. But we must notice that the concern and care must be appropriate, and must be conducted in the way that the patients can accept. If you care excessively or the means is not appropriate, it may result in the contrary and hurt the patients.

Then, what are the expressions of the excessive care and inappropriate care methods?

1. Show obvious pity and sympathy before the sufferers; When chat with the sufferers, dare not look into the sufferers' eyes and talk too carefully, etc. These will make the sufferers feel lonely and depressed, think about the differences between them and the healthy people. They will feel that they are rejected out of the society, and then the pessimistic and disappointed emotions will appear.

2. If the care is too excessive, such as you even help the sufferers to squeeze the toothpaste and twist the towel etc, it will make the sufferers feel they are disable people, and their existence only can bring the troubles and burden to family and the society. They will lose the confidence on life. On the other hand, some sufferers will become dependent on others' help, and then they will give up the opportunity to exercise. This has nothing beneficial to the sufferers' bodies.

3. Cut off the sufferers' contact with the social, such as restricting the visit too strictly, forbidding the sufferers to read books and contracting their activity scope etc. The result of these deeds will make patients feel much more lonely, and they even feel deserted by the society.

4. The restriction of daily life. This is not edible; that also can't be touched; Even the right of couple is deprived. These deeds are easiest to cause malnutrition and spirit abnormality.

In fact, if the condition of cancer sufferers is not serious, or in the special treatment period, you absolutely needn't restrict their normal activities, either the diet or the sexual life. That let cancer sufferers proceed appropriate sport and exercises, can encourage them be close to society, and it's beneficial for their recovery. Nowadays, cancer is no longer an incurable disease, and the cancer pain is also can be eliminated or alleviated by taking appropriate measures. Various effective treatments completely can prolong the cancer sufferers' surviving time, and make them regain certain working abilities. Many "Anti-cancer Stars" live in the anti-cancer club happily and some of them have gained greater achievements than that before they caught cancer. These are the most powerful proof. Moreover, keeping spirit and mood relaxed is a kind of effective means of treating cancer, and it even can sufficiently transfer the immune systems of the whole body to make cancer lump disappeared thoroughly! So, it's not the more you care the cancer patients, the more effects the patients get. The cancer sufferers' family members and friends should pay high attention on this point.

Unfortunate marriage hurts both the body and heart.

Husband and wife live together for a long time, deeply understand each other and enjoy the common experiences of the life, and establish couples alliance with approbation, then they can attain the stable and mature affection. What's more, with the mature of marital life, the affection of the couple will gradually be sound. But there are still considerable couples haven't entered the "sound state". Let's talk about the harm of the divorce to body and heart.

The research discovers that the immunity function of the people who divorced or live separately will decrease. Various body symptoms will increase such as headache, heart palpitates, asthma, alimentary canal symptoms, weight descending, baldness and sexual function obstacles; sickness rate of acute diseases, such as gastric ulcer, hypertension, heart attack and DM; The sickness rate of some infectious diseases also increases and the death rate is higher than other people.

Many scholars on marriage problems discover that broken marriage is one of the most irritating life affairs. Compared with the married, widow and single, the divorced and living separately people 's psychological health and their abilities to burden life are inferior obviously. Even if the divorced people established a happy family again, the divorce is still an irritation; that is to say, the hurt of divorce on people's spirit is everlasting.

A nationwide American inquisition data discovers that the marriage quantity is an important factor to ensure the psychological health. Marital happiness contributes more to the "total life happiness" than other factors as the job, friendship, promotion and high income etc. The writer also conducts a research on the a group of people about the unhappy affairs (50 items) happened in last year, ad it discovers that the most serious irritation factors on mentality is the heart-broken among couples, and the second is the death of the main family member.

The tracking research on the children of the divorced families shows that the parents' divorce can hurt the children's spirit. Seriously it can cause the children appear behavior problem or spirit diseases. Among the children of broken families, bad behaviors are much more them those of the normal family children, such as getting low scores in study, restlessness, telling lies, steal, playing truant, attacking behavior, alcohol abuse, medicine abuse, fleeing from family, casual sexual behavior, committing crimes and committing suicide etc. The domestic scholars' researches on the people divorced or requesting divorce discovers that 52% of their divorce litigation reasons is "incompatibility of personality", similar to the foreign reports. But compared with "stable families" or the couples with other litigation reasons, their personality similarities or differences are not special. So we can learn that the "incompatibility of personality" has more content, such as the value, life habits and hobbies etc. The so-called "incompatibility of personality" is often disguised for other reasons that are difficult to speak out for they are not accepted by the society, such as "sexual problems", one of the couple getting another lover, etc.

We must admit that a considerable part of the divorced couples divorced blindly, that is to say majority of the divorced families can recover. But they didn't be aware of an opportunity- let the psychology get involved in your marriage problem. Abroad and local scholars on marriage problems discovers that we should evaluate the marriage quality and family life from 12 aspects: role complementation, compatibility of personality, communication, the method to solve conflict, economy arrangement, amateur activity, sexual life, children & marriage, the relation with relatives and friends, role equivalence, belief congruity etc. These 12 aspects can from multi-angles tell your marriage happy or not, the cause of unhappiness, and it's the measure tool to find the cause of the unhappiness. To those families in misery, or planning to divorce, both the husband and wife should turn to the psychological doctors. Let the doctor help you to analyze your family scientifically, and find the resolution.

Psychological therapy has appeared in the ancient time already.

Open the Chinese Medical Works in ancient times, we can find the Chinese Traditional Medicine pioneers has generally discussed the "form and spirit", that is to say the physiological & pathological relationship of the mind and body, established the original psychosomatic medical system. They also raised some theories with nationality characteristics, such as "the internal organs hides the spirit", "seven feelings hurt the internal organs" and "Wu Xing (water, wood, gold, fire, soil) " etc, and left us the profound typical medical cases. They have some similarities with some methods of the modern psychological treatments.

Mr. Zhang Congzheng(1156-1228), one of the four famous doctors in JIN & YUAN dynasties, is the representative of "attacking party" of Chinese traditional medical. Mr. Zhang was good at the psychological treatment of the Chinese traditional medical. He wrote in the 《 Huang Di Nei Jing 》 that:" Sadness can cure the anger, using the sad words to infect the people; Fear can cure the happiness, frightening the people with the words about death; Anger can cure the missing, using the humiliating word to insult the people...” The 《 Ru Men Shi Qin 》 recorded the cases that Mr. Zhang used the methods of infecting, entertainment, frightening etc to cure the diseases that couldn't be cured by any medicines. From it, we can generally understand the psychological therapies of the ancient Chinese medical. Several examples of Zhang Congzheng curing diseases with no medicine are listed as following.

1. Laughing cures the sadness.

The mayor of Xi city heard the death of his father, crying sorrowfully, and then he felt the stomach aching fiercely and couldn't endure it. He took many medicines but no effect appeared. On his way to the mayor's home, Mr. Zhang happened to see the shaman saying some strange words on the patient's bedside. So, he imitated the shaman's behavior and appearances, "talking crazily and humorously to amuse the mayor”. The mayor laughed and couldn't stop it, then several days later, he recovered completely.

In the opinion of Chinese traditional medical, seven feelings can cause the internal organs malfunctioned, such as the abdominal pain, diarrhea etc. The mayor got stomachache for the sorrow on his father's death. The obstacle on the emotion was the cause of his disease. Mr. Zhang skillfully used the psychological therapy of "happiness overcoming sorrow" to make the patient happy to forget the sorrow. Then his breath flowed freely and the symptoms disappeared. Modern psychology takes the laughing as an expression of the bright mood and relaxed emotion, and its very beneficial to improve the depression, anxiety and fear etc. Absurd cognition in surroundings and personal sense of superiority can please and relax the people's body and mind. Recently, the "Laughing" clubs abroad are crowded and make a lot of money. This phenomenon elucidates that the "laughing therapy" becomes more and more popular with the modern people.

2. Amusement can remove the fury:

Xiang Guanling's wife got the disease of fury and had no appetite. She shouted and scolded others continuously and even wanted to kill the maids beside her. She saw many doctors and took various medicines. But more than half a year later, the symptoms didn't diminished. Mr. Zhang thought since she couldn't be cured by medicine, he should use the psychological therapy. Then he let two dancers made-up beautifully and danced before the woman. When the woman patient saw them, she couldn't help laughing. The next day, Mr. Zhang let them fight ridiculously. The woman patient couldn't help laughing again. Continuously, he let two women with good appetite; eat at the patient's bedside, praising the food delicious occasionally. The patient couldn't help tasting the food. Several days later, fury decreased and the appetite increased. The woman recovered without any medicine.

In this case, the woman patient got crazy for fury, and the abnormal language, emotion and behavior etc appeared. Mr. Zhang firstly let two beauties dance before the woman, then let them fight ridiculously. All these put the patient in a happy situation and her malfunctioned internal organs caused by fury was corrected and cured. The amusement therapy in modern psychology means to improve the bad emotions and correct the bad behaviors by listening to the music, reading poems, playing games or going to disco etc.

3. Striking the teapot cures the pavor.

Wei Xidex's wife was shocked to fall under the bed, for seeing the burglar in the night, and then she was afraid of any sound. Even her family members' footsteps could frighten her to faint to the ground. After consideration, Mr. Zhang orders two maids to press the sufferer's hands on the two sides of the high chair, in order to prevent the patient escape. Then he placed a teapot in front of the sufferer, used a wood rod to strike it again and again. The woman patient trembled while hearing the sound firstly, but after a while, she got used to it.

Mr. Zhang thought: “Shock is happening when the people know nothing about it; Fear is happening when people know it. If they people get used to it, they will no longer be shocked or feared." Using the panic method to cure the pavor caused by panic, is the application of psychological therapy of Chinese traditional medical. On the opinion of clinical psychology, this disease is the phobia of neurosis. Under a particular psychosomatic state, the original harmless or irrelevant experience, such as the burglar's action made the woman produce the panic feeling, gets the negative strengthening and expansion, so the woman was afraid of any sound. Mr. Zhang stoke the teapot continuously and forced the patient to stay in the most frightening situation, in order to attained the purpose of "moving the essence and changing the breath", and correcting the internal scenario.

The new hope to cure cancers

Currently in medical field, the general treatments to cancers such as operation, radiotherapy and chemotherapy etc. are used to temporarily prolong the cancer sufferers' lives and alleviate their pains, but cancers still can't be cured completely and thoroughly. With the continuous deep research into the cell biology and molecular biology in cancer fields, people learn more and deeper about the cancer-inducing process and the activity regulation of the cancer cells. On the basis of these new basic research discovers, some new drugs has been researched and developed, and now they have been invented or entered the period of clinical trial. They bring the new hope for curing cancers.

1. Suppress the formation of the new blood vessels and start the "committing suicide procedure" to dissolve cancer cells.

The formation of the cancer cells is caused by the loss of equilibrium & control on the functions & activities during the aging period of the normal cells. The normal cells can control their fission speed and metabolism, while the cancer cells can't, and they can only create the cells continuously and irregularly. Gradually the cells accumulate into an increasing tumor. Once the normal cells discover the malfunctioned cells. They will automatically start the "committing suicide" procedure reserved in the cells to eliminate the malfunctioned cells. However, the cancer cells lose the function to start the "committing suicide" procedure and can't prevent the excessive growth. Currently, the chemotherapy medicines can't effectively tell the normal cells from the cancer cells. So, we have to eliminate the normal cells together with the cancer cells, to lower the spreading speed of the cancer cells. Then, toxic side effects will appear inevitably in this process. Whether the future anti-cancer drugs have more effects and less toxicity depends on how many differences can be found between normal cells and cancer cells. If on this basis, more special and targeted chemotherapy drugs can be found to kill the cancer cells with selection, the normal cells can survive without being killed blindly.

New research detects that the adult (except the pregnant woman) can create blood vessels only in two situations. One is the time wounds heal up; the other is that the cells increase morbidly, such as cancer. The fission speed of the cancer cells is faster than that of other cells in human body, so they need the newly increased blood vessels to supply the needed blood and nourishments. This discover opens a new door for the research on anti-cancer drugs. There are a lot of potential drugs in various stages of clinical trials, which intend to prevent cancer cells from spreading by suppressing the increasing of the blood vessels.

2. The research on the function of gene engineering technique on anti-cancer

Cancer-inducing gene and anti-cancer chemotherapy: The domestic tumor research in molecular level has reached the same kind research level abroad. The creation of bladder gene engineering single chain antibody provides a kind of new effective antibody for the biotherapy for bladder cancer.

Professor Chen Zhinan and Dr. Yang Zhi of No.4 Military Medical University, cooperated and discovered a new functional gene in liver cancer, and proved that it could control the spread and metastasis functions of the liver cancer. They named the gene "Hab18G". Then they prepared the anti-liver-cancer antibody HAb18 with high affinity and specialty to the liver cancer cells. Then taking this as a carrier, continuously in the research they found this antibody could kill the cancer cells in the focus, whose diameter was 0.5 cm. What's more, the normal organs and cells were not harmed.

Mr. Lv Guiquan, the attending physician of Zhejiang Tumor Hospital, research and discover that the gene mutants of P53 and P16 are the common inheritance affairs happening at the initial & developed periods of esophagus cancer. They are also related with the metastasis of the esophagus cancer and the surviving time of the sufferers. They adopt the modern advanced molecular biology technique (immunity histochemistry method, PCR- SS- CP method, PCR- RFLP method and ID- PCR method etc.) to examine the items of protein expression of P53 & P16, gene mutation, the heterozygosity deletion of P53 gene and the deletion of P16 gene etc. The result shows that the gene mutant of P53 and P16 is one of the common inheritance affairs happening at the initial & developed periods of esophagus cancer. Wild type P53 is a kind of gene suppressing cancer and it can induce the tumor cells to programmed death. It can particularly combine with a special DNA row, and reduce the tumor cells' resisting ability to programmed death by suppressing or activating the transcription of other cells, then the tumor cells will lose the function of mutant. The deletion P53 gene is different, and it can suppress the programmed death of the tumor cells.

Currently, many domestic tumor works and anti-tumor gene researches discover that when normal functions are lost for P53 gene mutation or deletion, cancer cells' tolerance to inducing programmed death of anti-cancer drugs will increase. Thus, the effect of the anti-cancer drugs will be reduced, that is to say the tolerance of the anti-cancer drugs is increased obviously. Easy to see, the P53 gene has very important treatment value on anti-tumor. So the researches of molecular biology and anti-tumor gene (gene engineering and gene treatment) are the frontier subjects for the domestic and abroad oncology researchers and experts.

3. Research on the Chinese traditional medicine given through the skin and permanent magnet to treat the tumor

In the international researches on the anti-tumor drugs, following the oral agent and injection, drugs given through skin become the focus as a new method and agent to anti-tumor.

Chinese traditional medicine given through the skin has existed since the ancient times. The Chinese medical theory "cure the internal diseases from outside" is actually to attaining the purpose of curing diseases by outside using the herbals absorbed by the body through the skin. The mainly used Chinese bruises are pepper, musk, angelica etc. The so-called "drastic drugs, crude drugs and fragrant drugs are the leaders of all the drugs. And they can make the breath flow freely and affect the focus directly", is the theoretical basis of the Chinese medical "cure the internal diseases from outside". Many dissolvents, as the carrier of Chinese medicine, play the role of increasing the absorption through the skin. And fixing the water with the drugs can increase the hydrosynthesis between drugs and the skin. Vinegar and wine can increase the dissolution and absorption of the greasy components of the Chinese medicine; Honey contains protein; Fragrant matters as gum are the natural absorbent; Egg white contains protein and various organic compounds. All these matters can increase the drug's affinity with the skin.

In Jin dynasty, Mr. Ge Hong using black plaster to cure diseases is an typical example of giving medicine through the skin. Researches show that the black plaster can improve the hydrosynthesis of the skin by forming a seal state in a certain part to prevent the evaporating and spreading, increasing the traditional medicines are those herbals with acrid fragrance, strong flavor and penetrability, or the herbals that can activate the blood and eliminate rneum water from 5% to 50%.

The researches in recent years prove that Chinese herbals such as mint, thyme and camphora etc, have good effect on helping give medicines through the skin. Some scholars research and manufacture "smoking plaster" to help abstain smoking, and the "magic plaster" to cure the mammary fibroid tumor, premenstrual mastodynia, and also working as a lactifuge. However, it develops very slowly, and it's hopeful to enrich and develop the Chinese herbal plaster given through the skin to "cure the internal diseases from outside", by various R&D on plaster, salve, rubber plaster, pellicle, bath agent, drug pillow, kneepad and waist pad etc.

In recent 10 years, the writer leads the research group of Zhengzhou Chinese Medical Tumor Research Institute and has developed AITONGKE magnet plaster on the theoretical basis of "cure the internal diseases from outside" and modern physics magnetism. This magnet plaster is a kind of agent that can give the medicine through the skin. Under the magnetic lines of force, the components of anti-cancer drugs can immerse into the focus through the acupoint, skin pore and hypodemic capillary, etc, playing the role of anti-cancer, alleviating the pain, diminishing the tumor and removing the hydroperitoneum. It's suitable to the advanced primary and metastasizing tumor sufferers and has gained the good effect on prolonging the sufferer's life and improving the quality of their life. This product has passed the science research evaluation of Henan Drugs Supervision and Administration Organization, and also gained the national invention patent given by the National Intelligence Bureau on Feb. 5th, 2000. And now this product has been launched into the market and many sufferers feedback that it has good effect.

Chapter 18

The heavy disease needs heavy medicine.

1. Realgar is promising to cure leukemia.

The result of a six-years research shows that the arsenic disulfide (the main component of realgar) can successfully cure the acute promyelocytic leukemia. All of the 110 sufferers received the treatment has survived more than 5 years, and actually the surviving rate without diseases reaches 95.8%. This exciting news was released firstly in the national tumor conference convoked recently.

Acute promyelocytic leukemia can appear severe bleeding and even cause death. On clinical opinion, it's a very dangerous leukemia. In recent years, it's hot to research the cure for this disease. However, no matter the bone marrow transplantation (BMT) or all-trans vitamin A acid combination chemotherapy exists the various disadvantages despite a certain effect. Even the newly reported arsenic trioxide, must be given to the body by vein, bringing much trouble to the patients who need the long time treatment. Then, is there a kind of oral agent with the same effect, treating more simply & economically and also suitable to strengthen & maintain the treatment? Academician Lu Daopei reported that the researches discovered that compared the oral realgar with arsenic trioxide, the toxicity of the former diminished obviously. What's more, the higher the purity of the arsenic fouroxide is, the less the side effects of the drugs are. So, academician Lu Daopei make the lens arsenic fouroxide with high purity into a oral agent, then use them to treat 110 acute promyelocytic leukemia sufferers in different disease period aged over 14. The result was that all the sufferers' symptoms were alleviated and the abnormal changes of the blood also turned better in 22~110 days, especially the 20 first-set treated sufferers. A month later, the promyelocyte didn't divide any longer and appeared the morphological changes of spondylosis and apoptosis, symbolizing that the disease was turning better.

It should be noted that arsenic fouroxide doesn't have such good effect on all kinds of leukemia. As we know, the cases for this research are chosen very strictly, and almost all of sufferers are of chromosome interchange (15;17), and RARa- PML positive.

2. It has turned into reality that using white arsenic of reasonable dosage and type to cure heavy diseases.

It is well known that white arsenic is a drastic poison with great toxicity. It's the poison used to kill people in many Chinese and Foreign novels from ancient time to now.

White arsenic is a poison with sulfhydryl. Their main component is arsenic trioxide (As2O3). It has strong affinity to the sulfhydryl in the cells, and it's very easy to combine with the sulfhydryl of the pyruvic acid oxidase and cause the dysmetabolism, saccharometabolism stopped and the cell died. The lethal dose of arsenic trioxide to common people is 70-80 mg. To allergic people, very small dose can cause death, while there's some people can endure comparatively larger dose. White arsenic of small dose is a good drug to conquer the poison by poison, and the ancient people used it to cure the rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and syphilis etc. From the 1970's the domestic scholars started to use the white arsenic to cure the leukemia, and now have achieved good effects. To acute promyelocytic leukemia, the completely alleviated rate is up to 91%; The 5 years surviving rate reaches 54%; And 13 people survive without disease 10 years; The longest survivor has lived 26years.

With the great success achieved on using white arsenic to cure leukemia in recent years, there are many domestic and overseas scholars successively trying to apply it to the tumors on the other parts of the body, and they have discovered that to many other cancer cells, white arsenic also has the obvious functions of anti-tumor and inducing the cancer cells to death. Particularly to the liver cancer, white arsenic with low density can induce the liver cancer cells to death and kill the of the liver cancer cells selectively without hurting the normal cells. It really attains the purpose of "removing the negative without hurting the positive". The toxicity of white arsenic is drastic, and it's difficult to control the dosage and easy to cause the side effects. So it is made into injection after being elaborately purified by scientific methods. It is given to the body without passing through the stomach and bowel, improving the drug intensity in the blood and the tumor, and also reducing the toxicity as much as possible.

According to the report, currently there are more than 1000 advanced liver cancer sufferers being treated by the white arsenic agent. Most of them became better after using the drugs, and the quality of their life has been improved and their lives have been prolonged. Some sufferers' tumors have obviously diminished. It's really a good choice to those who have lost the opportunity of operation and can't intervene the treatments. Another report discloses that nowadays science cooperation are conducted in nation-wide scope, the clinical trials for the effect of white arsenic on various malignant tumors, such as lung cancer, esophagus cancer, stomach cancer, bowel cancer, mammary glands cancer, urine bladder cancer etc. Its effect has been confirmed initially.

Chapter 19

How to treat the anti-cancer Chinese herbals sieved by experiment research ？

The malignant tumor is human's big enemy. Many countries in the world are endeavoring to find the new anti-cancer drugs, especially searching in the natural herbals. American National Cancer Research Institute has screened more than 80,000 natural herbals, and 3.5% of them have the function of anti-cancer. The function mechanism of the herbals to tumor cells is diversified. Some can kill the tumor cells directly. Some kill or suppress the growth of the tumor cells by producing the interferon, interleukin and cyclophosphamide etc. Because of the different plant species & origin places, different judging standards, the screen results are often influenced. That the drugs can directly suppress the cancer cells doesn't mean that they can also suppress and kill cancer cells through the body internal anti-cancer mechanism. Even the drugs are effective on the animals; it might not effective on human bodies, because the differences exist between the human bodies and animals. On the contrary, some drugs haven't expressed the function of anti-cancer by the experimental method, but they are effective on the clinical application. Some herbals have the anti-cancer function on cancer cells o r experimental animals, but its toxicity is too strong after being purified, and can't be used for the clinical application. Thus, the anti-cancer herbals, screened by the experiment, can only work as a reference for the clinical application. Some of the anti-cancer herbals screened by the experimental research are listed as following.

Proved by the experiments in the animals' bodies, the herbals with anti-cancer function are as following: kosam, periwinkle, esculin flower, dog button, etc.

Proved by the experiments outside the bodies, the herbals with above 90% suppressing rate on the cancer cells increase are as following: asafetida, black plum, big fennel, wild hip, yellow cypress, realgar, glycyrrhiza, onion white, dry ginger, variola powder, azedarach, corn cockle root, centipede, safflower, cohosh, turpentine, vallicepobufagin, cicada exuviae, date, clove, alum, ginseng, wild chrysanthemum, blister beetle, raspberry, partridge vegetable, eupatorium, bear gall etc.

Some scholars divide Chinese herbal medicines into two types according to modern medicine experiments. Type A: trace (several μg/ml) of the medicine can fiercely suppress the growth of the cancer cells, but it also has great suppressing function on the normal cells, such as yellow cypress, azedarach. Type B: 100-150 μg/ml, have strong suppressing function on the cancer cells. The type B medicines can be divided into four different circumstances: ① Have strong suppressing function on both the cancer cells and normal cells, such as the reticulate millettia. ② Have strong suppressing function on cancer cells, while weak function on normal cells, such as corn cockle, cicada exuviae, glycyrrhiza and cohosh etc. ③ Have weak suppressing function on cancer cells, while no suppressing function on normal cells, such as schizonepeta, ginseng etc. ④ Have strong suppressing function on cancer cells, while no suppressing function on normal cells, such as crane grass, white hair rattan, etc.

There are some other scholars pointing out that: The suppressing function of Chinese herbal medicine has the time limitation. To the Chinese herbal medicines such as red bayberry peel etc, the excessive increasing of cancer cells will recover one week after stopping taking the medicines; Pomegranate peel etc, are two weeks; Hematoxyli etc, are three weeks; Prunella etc, are 4 weeks. Therefore, if taking Chinese herbal medicines functions, the patients should insist on taking it in a long period of time, so that can survive with the tumor over a long time.

Chapter 20

Vigilant to the "medicine source cancer"

Medicines cannot only cure diseases, but also can cause disease. The cancer caused by medicines is called the " medicine source cancer" on the medical science. The following is the introduction of several medicines that are probable to cause cancer. People should pay more attention on them.

1. Antipyresis and painkiller: such as phenacetin, aminopterin, inunctum arspirin, painkiller etc. Keeping on taking these medicines about ten years can cause the pyelic cancer and bladder cancer. The sickness rate of the people who take these medicines for a long period is 9.5%.

2. Anti-tumor medicines: Azathioprine can induce the lymphoid lump, leukemia, cervix cancer etc; Cyclophosphamide can induce the bladder cancer, lymphoid cancer and acute leukemia; Long-term usage of amethopterin for curing psoriasis, can induce the kidney cancer and mammary glands cancer.

3.Anti-epilepsy medicines: The long-term usage with large dosage of phenobarbital can cause malignant brain lump; If the pregnant woman take phenytoin sodium for a long time, the newly-born baby can get the neurofiber blastoma.

4. Medicines of testicular type: The long-term usage with large dosage of methyl testicle ketone, methandrostenolone, testosterone enanthate for treating aplastic anemia etc, can cause the hepatocellular carcinoma easily.

5. Ethylene female phenol: If the women take this medicine in the first three months of the pregnancy or for a long term, their female babies are probable to get the genital gland cancer in the future; If the women in and after the menopause take this medicine, the incidence rate of the endometrial cancer increases obviously; If the male sufferers take 0.5 mg of this medicine everyday for several years, the epinephros cancer will occur.

6. Chloromycetin: It includes the chloromycetin tablet, injection, and chloromycetin eye drops. Long-term usage of these medicines can cause the white cells reduced, and induce aplastic anemia and acute leukemia. Its inducing period of leukemia can be 7 years long.

7. Reserpine: The women taking reserpine for a long term, especially the women after menopause are easy to catch mammary glands cancer.

In addition, the medicines, such as terramycin, chloroform, arsenide, coal tar ointment etc, have the cancer-causing function in different degre
