Toads have been used as medicine for a long time. They are mostly used in the treatment of lung cancer, liver cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, etc., with good efficacy. In clinical tumor treatment, I have found that toads are best roasted over charcoal fire or boiled in water. Dried toads also have obvious effects in treating tumor bleeding, lymphatic metastasis, subcutaneous metastasis, malignant lymphoma and cancerous ascites. I would like to share my personal understanding below for reference by my colleagues. 1. Treatment of tumor bleeding Tumor bleeding is a common complication of tumors, and the amount can be more or less. Conventional Chinese and Western medicines are still ineffective for some patients. In this case, dried toad can be used, which can often reduce the amount of bleeding within 1-2 days and stop the bleeding within 7-10 days. Live or fresh toads have a strong blood-breaking power and promote bleeding, but after being charred over charcoal fire, they retain their nature and have a good hemostatic effect. Dried toads are often used to treat symptoms such as bloody stools, hemoptysis, and epistaxis. For example, a female patient surnamed Shi from Qinhuangdao City had gastric signet ring cell carcinoma (stage IV). She had bloody stools after laparotomy in a Beijing cancer hospital. Her quality of life was poor and she could not undergo chemotherapy. Her hemoglobin was 5.6g/L and her stool was occult blood (++++). She took both Chinese and Western medicines but to no avail. She was given oral administration of 10g of roasted dried toad per day, boiled in a concentrated form and taken frequently after meals. After 3 days, she had no bloody stools and occult blood in the stool (+). After 7 days, her stool was occult blood (-). She has not had bloody stools since then. Another example is a male patient named Li in Beijing, who had stage IV lung adenocarcinoma and poor physical condition. He did not undergo radiotherapy or chemotherapy. The first symptom was blood clots in his sputum. He took both Chinese and Western medicines but saw no improvement. He took 10g of dried toad orally, boiled in a concentrated form and taken frequently after rice. After 2 days, no blood clots were found in his sputum, only a small amount of blood. After 7 days, there was no blood in the sputum. 2. Lymphatic metastasis and malignant lymphoma Lymphatic metastasis is a common metastatic pathway of malignant tumors. Some tumors are insensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The primary lesions of some lymphatic metastasis cancers are unknown, and the radiotherapy and chemotherapy regimens are unclear. In addition, some patients with lymphatic metastasis cancer have a low quality of life and find it difficult to accept radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Burning dried toad is not only effective for lymphatic metastasis cancer, but also has a good effect on malignant lymphoma. As mentioned above, a female patient surnamed Shi from Qinhuangdao City had extensive metastasis of gastric signet ring cell carcinoma, and the left supraclavicular lymph node metastasis fusion was 1.2×1.4 cm2 For large and small lumps, take 10g of concentrated fried dried toad every day after meals. Take it frequently for 7 days. The tumor will shrink to 0.6×0.6 cm2, and the tumor cannot be touched after 10 days. Another example is a patient with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (stage IV) in Hohhot who had received radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Recently, he developed fever, low back pain, inability to sit or stand, significantly abnormal liver function, bone marrow infiltration of tumor cells, low white blood cell count, and was unwilling to receive chemotherapy. He was given a decoction of dried toad as the main ingredient and Jinlong capsules. The fever subsided after 4 days, the low back pain was significantly relieved after 7 days, and disappeared after 15 days. No abnormalities were found in chest and abdominal CT scans after 32 days. 3. Subcutaneous metastatic cancer Subcutaneous metastasis is also one of the metastasis methods of malignant tumors. The number of metastases is large and can occur in various parts of the body. Currently, there are not many treatment methods and the results are not ideal. The application of dried toad can usually eliminate subcutaneous metastatic cancer in about 30 days. For example, a female patient named Luan from Shunyi District, Beijing, had extensive-stage non-small cell lung cancer. Due to financial constraints, she was given only one course of radiotherapy. Less than two months after radiotherapy, three subcutaneous metastases were seen on the back of her hands and back, the largest of which was 2.0×2.0 cm2. She took 10 g of dried toad orally every day, and the subcutaneous metastases disappeared after one month. 4. Cancerous ascites Ascites is a common complication of malignant tumors, which is characterized by being stubborn, large in volume, and easy to recur. The current treatment methods for ascites mainly include chemotherapy, diuretics, and protein supplementation. Dried toad has anti-cancer and diuretic effects, but it is not often used in the clinical treatment of ascites. Based on the theory of "external treatment of internal diseases" and Chinese medicine differentiation, and the fact that the navel has no dermal tissue through which large molecules can easily pass, I believe that moxibustion on the navel has the effects of warming the yang, unblocking the meridians and promoting diuresis. Dried toad is used as the main medicine, combined with Chinese medicine that warms the yang, promotes blood circulation and promotes diuresis. It is decocted into a paste and applied to the navel with moxibustion. The effect is significant and it avoids the difficulty of taking medicine for patients with large amounts of ascites in the late stage of tumors. Toads have strong anti-cancer effects, but their side effects limit their widespread use. After being charred over charcoal, they have a strong hemostatic effect and their cardiotoxicity is significantly reduced. The taste of boiled dried toad water is spicy and astringent, and it can cause gastrointestinal reactions such as nausea, poor appetite, and even vomiting. It should be boiled in a thick concentration and taken in small amounts frequently after meals. To make a compound prescription, add bamboo shavings, coptis chinensis, and inula flower, boil them in a thick concentration and take after meals. |
