The principle of diet therapy for leukemia

Leukemia is a malignant tumor of the hematopoietic system, commonly known as "blood cancer," mainly characterized by anemia, fever, bleeding, hepatosplenomegaly, and systemic lymphadenopathy. According to the clinical course of disease and the maturity of leukocytes, it is divided into two types: acute leukemia and chronic leukemia.

Chinese medicine believes that the cause of leukemia is caused by a deficiency in the body and a feeling of cult poison. Diet therapy for leukemia emphasizes "supportive therapy."

(1) According to clinical observations, the basal metabolic rate of leukemia patients increases. The body's need for various nutrients increases. For a bedridden patient, the daily consumption is about the same as the energy consumed by a medium-sized manual worker, which is about 6270 to 7524 kJ. If accompanied by fever, the catabolism of glucose, fat, and protein of the body is greatly enhanced, and then consumed. The heat will be more than the calories a boxer consumes. Therefore, leukemia patients must provide as much as possible high protein, high calories, and rich vitamins such as eggs, animal liver, milk, fruits, and vegetables. Extremely thin and severely anemic persons may choose to use bone soup, tortoise shell glue, donkey-hide gelatin, scale glue or taking royal jelly, ginseng pulp fine, placenta powder, antler and so on.
(2) Use natural foods with anti-cancer effects, such as sea cucumbers, fish gizzards, turtles, fishes, seaweed, and seaweeds; dairy products such as milk, goat milk, horse milk, and use of fungi and shiitake mushrooms, hedgehog, and white fungus And animal blood such as pig blood, goose blood and so on.
(3) As the resistance of leukemia patients declines, they repeatedly bleed, and they are easily infected and aggravate their condition. Therefore, leukemia patients should pay particular attention to preventing infection, and they can often drink some tea or tea that has antibacterial and antiviral effects such as silver flower, chrysanthemum, isatis root, and big green leaves.
