According to statistics, there are about 3 million hepatitis B carriers and 500,000 hepatitis C carriers in Taiwan. Since liver disease often has a three-step process of hepatitis, cirrhosis and liver cancer, patients with liver disease are fearful.
In fact, in addition to the many methods of Western medicine in the treatment of liver disease, Chinese medicine also has its own unique features for the treatment of liver disease, and there are also many studies being conducted. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee, who has a lot of experience in the treatment of liver disease, pointed out that the most important principle of Chinese medicine in treating liver disease is to help the metabolism by promoting the clearing and lowering the turbidity.
Chinese medicine attaches great importance to the spleen and stomach, and only when the function of raising and lowering the turbidity is normal can the food taken in be absorbed and excreted properly. Otherwise, it will lead to chaos in the digestive system, and the stomach, intestines, liver and gallbladder will all be affected. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee points out that patients with liver disease are suffering from a malfunction of the ascending and descending turbidity; therefore, it is necessary to restore their ascending and descending turbidity function with medication to achieve the effect of ascending liver yang and draining bile.
Chinese medicine doctor Sheng-Pu Lee and further pointed out that there are studies in Japan found that Liver Pills can help the liver to ascend and descend turbidity, and on the liver stellate cells to occur, can improve the discomfort during chemotherapy, or in patients taking painkillers, can reduce the side effects; so, it can be seen, because the liver must be responsible for nutrition and detoxification, too strong drugs will damage the liver, and from the study of Liver Pills can be carried out to repair the role of liver cells.
Dr. Lee also cited a case to see the complementarity of Chinese and Western medicine for liver treatment; he pointed out that a Mr. Chen 69 years, after the ineffective treatment of Western medicine, and gradually worsened to the need for liver replacement, not considered middle-aged and elderly, has been serious to cirrhosis, ascites, hemorrhoids bleeding, total bilirubin 9.14, rGTP766, GOT770, GPT314, changed to Chinese medicine for three months, and then by the Western ultrasound found that cirrhosis has The ascites disappeared within three weeks of taking Chinese medicine, with a total bilirubin of 0.39, GOT24 and GPT24, but there was still some anemia.
Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee emphasized that this case can understand that natural Chinese medicine often has a thoughtful treatment beyond Western medicine; when a person is sick, seeking medical help is the way to go, but if the doctor’s treatment does not work, should there be another choice? Only under the system of Oriental medicine can one be blessed with this.
