Cancer is a frightening chronic disease that consumes energy in the body, causing weight loss, general fatigue, anemia and various discomforts.

Cancer patients continue to be polarized. Some people can live with cancer for a long time, even many years. Some people die quickly. What is the reason for such a difference?
What is “living with cancer”?
The etiology and pathogenesis of cancer are complex. It is unrealistic to completely conquer all cancers. Beating cancer doesn’t require killing cancer cells completely. Blocking the growth and spread of cancer cells allows patients to live with cancer cells for a long time, which is also a way to defeat cancer cells. Living with cancer can be achieved by means of the integration of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine.

After receiving targeted therapy, radiotherapy or chemotherapy, most patients not only suffer physical damage but also become weaker with symptoms such as difficulty in eating, low immune function, and frequent vomiting. 한의학에서는, immunity is equivalent to the healthy qi of the human body. Weakened immunity means insufficient healthy qi in the body, which will cause disease.
속담처럼, traditional Chinese medicine strengthens healthy qi. The use of traditional Chinese medicine can reduce the side effects of other drugs, improve the tumor microenvironment, and curb the growth of tumors.
영지버섯, known as the “magic herb”, is a treasure in the treasure house of traditional Chinese medicine, and its main function is to strengthen healthy qi.

American Ganoderma Scholars: Total Triterpenes~에서영지버섯 have anti-tumor properties.
~ 안에 2008, International Journal of Molecular Sciences revealed that American scientist Dr. Daniel Sliva’s latest research found that 영지버섯 total triterpenoids (일반적으로 알려진 영지버섯 포자유) have anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory properties.
Based on the research conclusion of 영지버섯 triterpenoids made by Dr. Daniel Sliva, the article further points out that the total triterpenoids of 영지버섯 containing ganoderic acid F can limit tumor angiogenesis in vitro while ganoderic acid X can activate extracellular signal-regulated kinases and dual-specificity kinases, thereby inducing tumor cell apoptosis and promoting the death of human liver tumor cells. International Journal of Molecular Sciencesfinally points out Dr. Daniel Sliva’s research conclusion: 영지버섯, a natural “영지버섯 트리테르펜”, can be developed into a new substance with anti-tumor use.

Indian Cancer Research Center:영지버섯 triterpenes can effectively inhibit the survival of cancer cells.
Amala Cancer Research Center published a report inMutation Research in January 2017, pointing out that영지버섯 triterpenes can effectively inhibit the survival of cancer cells and reduce the occurrence and severity of tumors whether they are used externally or internally.
The experimental material used in this study is the total triterpene extract of the fruiting body of 영지버섯. The result of culturing the total triterpene extract with human breast cancer cell MCF-7 (에스트로겐 의존성) is that the higher the concentration of the extract, the longer the time it acts on cancer cells, and the more it can reduce the survival rate of cancer cells. 어떤 경우에는, it can even make cancer cells disappear (pictured below).

The experiment further found that the reason why 영지버섯 can inhibit the growth of cancer cells is not by “violence”, but by “induction” to regulate the genes and protein molecules in cancer cells, turn off the switch of cancer cell proliferation, and initiate the apoptosis of cancer cells.

Zhibin린: 영지버섯 is more used in adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy for암.
Professor Zhibin Lin of Peking University Health Science Center, who has studied 영지마 이상 50 연령, mentioned in the book “Talk about 영지마” that a large number of clinical studies and drug practices have proved that 영지버섯 can enhance the body’s anti-tumor immunity, improve the curative effect of chemotherapy drugs, reduce toxic and side effects such as leukopenia, hair loss, 식욕 상실, 메스꺼움, 구토, 설사, 체중 감량, 방사선 요법 및 화학 요법으로 인한 간 및 신장 손상, 암 환자의 화학 요법에 대한 내성을 향상시킵니다, 암 환자의 삶의 질을 향상시키고 그들의 삶을 연장시킵니다.. 방사선 요법과 화학 요법의 가능성을 잃은 소수의 환자는 영지버섯 홀로, 영지버섯 화학 요법 및 방사선 요법을 보충하기 위해 더 자주 적용됩니다.
"건강한 Qi 강화 및 병원성 인자 제거"의 TCM 치료 원리의 관점에서, 화학 요법 및 방사선 요법은“병원성 인자 제거”에만주의를 기울이고“건강한 Qi 강화”를 소홀히합니다., 건강한 Qi를 손상시킵니다. 역할 영지버섯 암 화학 요법 및 방사선 요법 에서이 두 요법의 결점을 보완합니다., 즉, it truly “strengthens the healthy qi and eliminates pathogenic factors”. The multi-component and multi-target anti-tumor effect of 영지버섯, as well as its role in protecting against the injury caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy, are the modern interpretation of the effect of “strengthening healthy qi and eliminating pathogenic factors”.

Living with cancer is not passive treatment, let alone giving up treatment. It emphasizes a state of “peaceful coexistence” with cancer. Maintaining “optimism + treatment” may be able to achieve long-term living with cancer.
