Health for All says
In recent years, diabetes and pancreatic cancer have become two major diseases that people are paying more and more attention to. On the one hand, diabetes has become a global epidemic and poses a huge threat to people's healthOn the other hand, pancreatic cancer is known as the "king of cancers", and due to its insidious nature and late detection, its condition is often not detected until it is at an advanced stage.
What is the connection between diabetes and pancreatic cancer?Is there some kind of mysterious relationship between "past and present lives" behind it?As an experienced veteran Chinese medicine practitioner, I will combine TCM theories and ancient and modern prescriptions to uncover the "past and present" of diabetes and pancreatic cancer for you.
From the perspective of TCM, the causes of diabetes and pancreatic cancer are somewhat similar. First of all, diabetes mellitus is believed to be caused by factors such as weakness of the spleen and stomach, gluttony of sweets or excessive fat, and lack of exercise, which leads to dampness and heat stagnation in the body, and poor qi and blood, thus causing abnormal glucose metabolismPancreatic cancer is mostly related to factors such as dampness and heat in the body, liver stagnation and qi stagnation. Secondly, patients with diabetes and pancreatic cancer often have wasting diseases, such as weight loss, fatigue, etc. These commonalities lead us to wonder if there is a connection between the two diseases.
The ancient famous doctor Zhang Zhongjing mentioned a prescription called Poria Pill in "Jin Kui Yaolu", which is widely used for symptoms such as dampness and heat, diabetes, and stomach pain. One of the main ingredients of Poria Cocos Pill is Poria cocos, which has the effect of strengthening the spleen and infiltrating dampness, clearing heat and soothing the nerves. Diabetic and pancreatic cancer patients have a damp and hot constitution, so Poria pills can not only improve the blood sugar metabolism of diabetic patients, but also help pancreatic cancer patients relieve physical discomfort.
In addition, according to TCM theory, pancreatic cancer is also related to the liver and gallbladder. It is pointed out in the "Neijing" that "gallbladder fat is cancer". Factors such as damp heat and hepatobiliary imbalance can easily lead to the formation of gallstones and abnormal hepatobiliary function, thereby increasing the risk of pancreatic cancer. Therefore, regulating the liver and gallbladder and reducing dampness and heat is one of the important ways to prevent pancreatic cancer. Huanglian Jiedu Tablets, an ancient prescription of traditional Chinese medicine, is a good medicine, which can help pancreatic cancer patients alleviate their condition by clearing heat and detoxifying, lowering lipids and protecting the liver.
In summary, there is a certain link between diabetes and pancreatic cancer. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, factors such as dampness and heat, weakness of the spleen and stomach are important causes of diabetes and pancreatic cancer. Therefore, early prevention, regulation of dampness and heat in the body, balanced diet, moderate exercise, etc. are all important measures to prevent and manage these two diseases.
