How can cancer patients enhance their immunity?

This is a very good question. The human immune system is extremely complex. Under normal circumstances, the immune system can find and destroy mutated cancer cells. Since cancer has occurred, it shows that cancer cells have escaped the immune attack of human beings. Therefore, cancer patients must have low immunity or defects, at least the specific immunity to a certain cancer has weakened. Then, how can cancer patients rebuild their immunity, how can they kill cancer cells through immunity and prevent recurrence and metastasis? The following points can be considered:

(1) Healthy lifestyle

A healthy lifestyle includes a healthy diet and a reasonable work and rest. For example, don't smoke, don't drink, don't eat fried food, and eat less salted, processed and smoked meat. Eat less overnight food and never eat moldy food. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, eat a light diet with high protein and low fat, and eat more high-quality protein, such as eggs, fish and chicken. Eat more meals, don't overeat, eat regularly, and have three meals on time.

At the same time, combine work and rest, go to bed early and get up early, don't be overworked, don't stay up late, and exercise properly to strengthen your physique.

(2) Keep a good mood

With cancer, it is difficult to keep a good mood, and many people will feel depressed, depressed and anxious. However, we must try our best to make ourselves happy and keep an optimistic attitude. Considering that there are so many relatives and friends who care about themselves, we must not give up easily. Maintaining a good attitude is helpful to restore immunity and increase the anti-cancer effect.

(3) drug therapy

Our Chinese medicine pays attention to strengthening the body resistance and consolidating the foundation. Strengthening physical resistance means strengthening physical fitness and improving immunity. I'm not a Chinese doctor, I don't know much about it. If necessary, you can consult a regular Chinese medicine practitioner. Western medicine also has some drugs to improve immunity, such as thymosin and interleukin, which can be injected regularly and have certain effects.

(4) immunotherapy

What we talked about earlier is how to improve the overall physique and prevent cancer recurrence. Now let's talk about cancer treatment and immunotherapy. Immunotherapy is a very promising treatment method, and the Nobel Prize in 20 18 was awarded to several experts in the field of immunotherapy. At present, there are two kinds of mature immunotherapy, namely PD- 1 inhibitor and CART therapy. Both methods are to rebuild the body's immunity to cancer cells and use immune cells to kill cancer cells. They have made incredible achievements in malignant melanoma, leukemia, lymphoma, liver cancer, lung cancer and other tumors. You can consult a doctor if necessary.

Can some foods, ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, cordyceps sinensis and health products improve immunity? I don't know. It is generally not recommended to eat these things during the recovery period of tumor treatment.

Does western medicine have drugs to improve immunity? Yes! Thymosin, transfer factor, interleukin -2, etc. These drugs are "broad-spectrum", with no pertinence, limited general effect and few applications.

Can albumin improve immunity? This is a question that cancer patients often ask, and the answer is yes and no! The main function of albumin is to improve plasma osmotic pressure, and it is not a nutrient. Reasonable application of human albumin can reduce unnecessary expenses.

So how to improve the immunity of cancer patients?

Healthy diet, reasonable collocation, vegetables and fruits, more coarse and less refined, poultry and fish can eat more, less red meat such as pork and beef, and processed meat such as ham sausage and lunch meat is not suitable for eating. The patient's nutrition is good, and his body will definitely be great. It is not recommended to deliberately eat some foods and health care products that "enhance immunity", just "normal diet".

Cancer patients are advised to do moderate-intensity exercise for more than 5 days a week and 30 minutes a day to sweat slightly when their physical conditions permit. High-intensity exercise is not recommended for patients, which may easily lead to fatigue.

Live a regular life and ensure sleep. People who lack sleep are always in a state of fatigue, and their immunity is greatly reduced. They emphasize high-quality sleep, even if they are not asleep in bed. If sleep is ineffective, you can take hypnotics appropriately.

Maintaining an optimistic mood is also a necessary factor to improve immunity. If you are in a bad mood, can't eat well, can't sleep well, and can't do anything, your immunity will get worse and worse. Cancer patients are in a good mood. Patients, family members and doctors should work together.

I'm Dr. @ Liu Yongyi, thank you for reading!

Let's not make a long speech. Let's make a long story short. It seems more convenient for everyone.

1. Don't trust products such as Ganoderma lucidum oil, resveratrol and spirulina tablets. These things are not only useless, but also can't guarantee that they are harmless to the body. If you buy them, you will be cheated.

2. Keep a peaceful mind and an optimistic mood. Emotion can affect the immune system. As the old saying goes, ten years is only a joke. Modern medical research has proved that this sentence has scientific basis, and the specific principle is complicated, so I won't elaborate on it. If you are depressed by thinking about your illness all day, you might as well find something to do for yourself. Watching comedies and listening to cross talk are all good choices.

3, daily diet, platitudes, quit smoking and drinking, quit spicy and greasy. Balanced nutrition, easy to digest, and supplemented with protein and trace elements. Eat more yellow coarse grains containing carotene, which will be converted into vitamin A in the body, and it is a small expert in anti-cancer; Others, such as kelp, are rich in trace elements, and yam can replenish qi and strengthen the spleen, so you can eat more; There is generally nothing to avoid, except allergies. If you can't guarantee that you are not allergic, don't touch seafood and mango. Patients taking targeted drugs should not eat grapefruit, carambola and pomegranate.

Regarding nutrition, you can drink protein powder and eat multivitamins, or you can eat some traditional supplements. It is really good for the recovery of the body. But don't expect nutrition to fight cancer. It's all false propaganda. Pay attention to quality, don't buy fake and shoddy products, such as changing bird's nest into sugar water. How hateful.

5. Exercise properly. Except in special circumstances, patients should exercise properly after operation or during other treatments to promote blood circulation and enhance immunity. Vigorous, only positive, the body has strength. However, you can't exercise vigorously when you come up. Step by step, from walking to jogging. If you are in good health and recover, you can swim and climb mountains.

That's basically it. In fact, we all know these methods in our daily life, but after the diagnosis of the tumor, the whole person panicked and could not remember anything. Don't panic, cancer is not necessarily a terminal disease. So many people have lived well after scientific treatment. Have a little confidence in yourself.

The core of enhancing immunity of cancer patients is sixteen Chinese characters. "Moderate inspection, what is missing; Balanced nutrition, supplemented by strength. "

Magic Road Popular Science Edition Cancer Immune Theory

Enhancing immunity is not a professional medical treatment, but mainly starts from three parts.

The most important moderate inspection, what is missing?

The particularity of cancer and the mastery of patients' nutritional knowledge often lead to anemia, protein deficiency, low weight and potassium deficiency in cancer patients.

In order to avoid the above situation as much as possible, it is necessary to check regularly and make targeted supplements according to the requirements of the hospital. For example, insist on anemia, immediately supplement blood-enriching drugs, and moderately increase the proportion of green leafy vegetables and lean meat in food. If you don't supplement it specifically, you can't supplement your immunity well.

Balanced nutrition, moderate supplement

In reality, there are some special nutrients that can enhance our immunity, most of which are expensive, such as sea cucumber, ganoderma lucidum and ginseng.

Although these substances are useful, if the nutrition we need is insufficient. It's no use eating too much The state has issued dietary guidance specifically for cancer patients, which I have interpreted in my column and some questions and answers. You can have a look if you need it.

Moderate exercise and maintaining a good attitude are the most economical cancer treatment drugs in the world, and how to treat them will also play a great role. Although the principle of placebo effect has not been studied, it does exist.

Low immunity is a problem that many cancer patients will encounter. In addition to cancer itself will destroy the human immune system, surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other anti-tumor measures have reduced the human immune function to some extent.

Therefore, improving immunity is indeed a problem that cancer patients should pay attention to.

1, dietary supplements

As the saying goes, "Food is the most important thing for the people". This sentence is most suitable for cancer patients. Many patients with malignant tumors, regardless of disease factors or treatment factors, generally face loss of appetite, eating less and so on. , invisibly affected the normal function of the human body. Therefore, patients should increase the intake of nutrients as much as possible. Besides a balanced diet, they should also increase the intake of high-quality protein, such as lean meat, milk and eggs.

2. Appropriately increase the opportunities for exercise.

"Life lies in exercise". For the recovery of human function and the increase of immunity, exercise is irreplaceable by any medicine. Therefore, cancer patients can appropriately strengthen exercise according to their actual situation when their physical conditions permit; Those who can't exercise outdoors can exercise indoors, even walking is much better than staying in bed.

3. Application of drugs

Some commonly used drugs to enhance immunity can also be considered for application, such as thymosin drugs in western medicine; Qi Zhen Fuzheng Chinese patent medicine, etc.

In a word, immunity is a natural barrier for human body to resist diseases, and it is also the basic guarantee for biological existence. But the improvement of immunity depends at most on our daily diet and physical exercise, which is also in line with the laws of nature.

Protein has many sources, such as animal protein and plant protein.

Plant protein comes from beans, such as soybeans, which can be cooked or made into soybean milk. Other beans are rich in protein.

There are many animal protein, so meat is rich in protein, such as chicken, beef and mutton. These three kinds of swollen proteins are very high, and people who exercise regularly will eat them. But choose lean meat instead of fat. It is best to have chicken without any fat.

There are seafood, protein, fish such as shrimp, and protein. There are vegetables and some protein.

However, many cancer patients are afraid to eat animals and seafood. They always think that these hair care products will promote the development of cancer cells, which is wrong. Cancer patients need protein to improve their immunity more than normal people. I always eat animal protein, because I am not interested in vegetables and seafood, so I eat more meat.

I am the founder of non-drug therapy, and the topic of how to enhance the immunity of cancer patients just comes to my job. Let me tell you what time it is.

1, the key is not to enhance immunity but to activate immunity. Most drugs will promote the dormancy of immune cells. Remember the difference between taking medicine when you have a cold and being good? Therefore, drugs can't be eaten casually.

2. The first step for cancer patients is not hospitalization, but rebuilding their belief system. You know, many cancer patients are scared to death. Whether they have good faith or not is the key to activating the immune system, because the side effects produced by demons are more terrible than cancer itself.

Review your lifestyle and find out why you got cancer. If the cause is found, the disease will be half cured and get twice the result with half the effort. Don't look for reasons, get twice the result with half the effort.

4, dredge blood vessels, because immune cells are in blood vessels, blood vessels are blocked, and immunity can't go, which is meaningless. Don't expect to use any medicine to dredge blood vessels, nothing.

5, dredge the intestinal meridians, intestinal blockage, toxin accumulation, blood vessels are bound to be blocked, many people do not know the connection, meridians are the switch of the immune system. If you have enough electricity, the switch won't turn on and the light bulb won't light up.

6. Proper nutrition supplement and sleep can enhance immunity, but it should be natural. It doesn't make much sense if you sleep with sleeping pills.

7. Proper exercise can activate immunity, with emphasis on proper exercise. Inappropriate exercise is useless and has side effects.

8. In fact, the most important thing is to improve the health concept and health literacy, and the brain is blocked and the blood vessels are blocked. Wang Longde, former vice minister of health, said that the main reason why chronic diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases are so common in China is the low health literacy of Chinese citizens.

After the Spring Festival, we plan to recruit 50 to 100 cancer patients in the whole country, find a beautiful place and build a happy base camp without using any drugs or surgery.

First, what is "immunity"? Immunity should be said to be the common name for the public's immunity to the body. There is no such term in medicine, and the corresponding term in immunology is immune function.

Immunity refers to the ability of the body to resist the invasion of external pathogenic factors and maintain the stability of the internal environment. Normal immune function means that the body can give full play to its cellular and liquid immune ability. Even if the infection of foreign pathogenic bacteria, viruses and other pathogenic microorganisms is killed, aging, apoptotic cells and mutant cells (including cancer cells) can be removed in time. The human body has aging and degenerating cells all the time. If there is no normal immune function, the body may get sick at any time, and the frequency of cancer is higher. There is no direct relationship between the patient's own feeling of body fever and immune ability. At present, there is no particularly effective, objective and measurable index of immune function, which mainly depends on the physical function of patients. The manifestations of weak immune function are generally physical weakness, malnutrition, listlessness, fatigue and weakness, and it is easy to get sick often.

At present, a few drugs have played a role in enhancing immune function, but it is difficult to know how much they actually play in each individual. Because all drugs go through the liver's catabolism after entering the body, and finally see if there are active ingredients.

In the case of not taking medicine, the best way to increase immune function is:

1, keep a good mental state.

Give yourself a positive signal, constantly strengthen the inner positive energy, think in a positive direction and work hard. The integration of body and mind has direct medical evidence, that is, the change of psychological endocrine system will directly lead to physical changes and even physical diseases. The most direct manifestation or evidence is that under the stimulation of serious bad information, people will become poor appetite, fatigue, listlessness, and even more prone to illness.

2. Exercise actively.

Life lies in proper exercise. After active exercise, people's organ functions are exercised and strengthened, their physical fitness becomes better, and their immune function naturally becomes better. This is a simple truth.

3. Maintain good eating habits and a healthy diet.

Change bad eating habits, such as overeating, eating irregularly, like to gobble, like to eat spicy food, etc.

We need a healthy diet, such as eating fresh fruits and vegetables, eating less spicy food, eating less smoked and pickled food, and not eating moldy food.

Cancer patients get cancer because their immunity is declining. Immunization is actually a popular saying. In any textbook of life science, this ability of immunity will not appear. In the eyes of ordinary people, immunity is actually the ability of people to resist different pathogenic factors from inside and outside the body. Its connotation should go beyond the concept of immune system in our life science, including at least the health of various organs of non-immune system. The stability of internal and external environment, etc. Therefore, improving immunity is a systematic project, which can't be done simply by eating something. It needs to take care of all aspects. As far as cancer patients are concerned, I think at least the following aspects should be done.

Clean and nutritionally balanced food

In fact, there are not many unexplained special taboos in western medicine about diet during illness. I don't think eating one thing can be done in one day or two. If diet can quickly lead to the sudden aggravation of human diseases, it must lead to allergic reactions in the body, rather than some abnormal ingredients in this food quickly changing the ability of sick cells. I think it is the healthiest to eat all kinds of fruits and vegetables, original ecology, organic green, chicken, duck and fish eggs without pesticide residues, and insist on eating in moderation. Not eating too much is most beneficial to health, but also to the maintenance of physical function and the improvement of immunity.

It is important to have a good mood and ensure adequate rest.

I know this is easier said than done. No matter what kind of disease, it is not easy to achieve emotional stability, especially cancer. After all, there are only a few people who can explore the mysteries of life and look down on life and death. Everyone's life experience is different, and their psychological adjustment ability after illness is different. I mean, they can do whatever they can. After all, mental depression, staying up late will definitely do great harm to immunity. Even if there is no tumor, not sleeping every day will shorten life expectancy, so accepting the present and living a good future is the proper mentality to treat malignant diseases. After all, no matter where you are, damaging your immunity will promote the further aggravation of your illness.

Avoid overwork

Some people's outlook on life is too open, even after the diagnosis of cancer, they still try to play the last bit of residual heat. I respect every patient's choice of value orientation, but I never advocate it. Working overtime and staying up late is an important cause of cancer, even after the diagnosis of malignant tumor. In fact, it's a pity that I can't satisfy everything in this world, and there are thousands of unfulfilled wishes of Qian Qian. I can get a better quality of life and life time by giving up some appropriately.

fresh air

Many people think this is strange and disagree. In fact, clean and pollution-free air and food are the most important elements of life. Lack of that point may lead to physical decline, and diseases will follow. Polluted air is more poisonous than expired food, which is only eaten three times a day. Polluted air has been inhaled, which will not only damage the local immunity of the lungs, but also lead to poisoning of various organs in the whole body. Therefore, clean air is the guarantee of health.

The improvement of immunity is a systematic project, especially after illness. This is a process that needs long-term persistence. It can't be done overnight, and we can only keep working hard.

Hello, everyone, I am Dr. Lin from the anorectal department, adhering to the professional medical science of "great doctor and sincere heart" to protect your health!

We usually only care about how to prevent and treat cancer, but we ignore how to help tumor patients improve their immunity and further help the immune system clear cancer cells after treatment. Because many patients may have "bone marrow suppression" after receiving radiotherapy and chemotherapy, white blood cells, red blood cells and neutrophils decrease. At this time, patients are the most vulnerable, not only to bear cancer cells, but also to bear the side effects of drugs. Therefore, it is particularly important to help patients improve their physical fitness and restore normal immunity!

How to improve the immunity of cancer patients?

1, the first thing is not to overtreatment.

Some patients or their families don't really understand cancer and think that doing more can kill more cancer cells. Even after a course of chemotherapy, I was not at ease. I secretly went to other hospitals, not telling the history of chemotherapy, and asked the doctor to continue to prescribe chemotherapy.

In fact, this practice is tantamount to slowly killing patients, because even if the body can withstand the side effects of chemotherapy, it will always damage normal cells and cause damage to other organs. The weak body will become more fragile and the immune system will be on the verge of collapse.

2. Improve immunity through diet

3. Improve immunity through exercise.

Research shows that if you insist on regular and not excessively strenuous exercise, the number of immune cells in your body will increase. In addition, regular exercise can also promote blood circulation and make immune system cells work more efficiently.

1) Walking: Walking is a common form of aerobic exercise. Good health is over wealth. Walking can enhance physical fitness, balance mentality and prevent diseases. Walking is suitable for lung cancer patients to do aerobic exercise. Cancer patients can invite friends or family members to take a walk in scenic places, which can not only exercise moderately, but also promote a happy mood in the process of communicating with others. A good mood is of great help to the rehabilitation of cancer patients.

2) Stretching in bed: For patients with lung cancer who don't recover well, try stretching with the help of others. Staying in bed for a long time is also bad for the body, because staying in bed for a long time will make people's muscles atrophy, metabolism slow down and skills gradually decline, so you can do simple stretching exercises in bed.

Exercise plays a positive role in preventing muscle atrophy, coronary heart disease and arteriosclerosis. Simple physical exercise can enhance physical fitness and reduce the adverse consequences caused by long-term lack of exercise. It is suggested that cancer patients can do some exercise within their power to promote physical recovery. Therefore, cancer patients can do moderate activities to add points to their health.

4. By restoring a good mood

Step 5 quit smoking and drinking

6. Integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine
