Cancer and tumors

Treatment for cancer and tumors

Translation: In the treatment of animals, whose perception of time differs, we prioritize ensuring their quality of life (QOL). This is because in the consciousness of animals, there is no past or future; "now," this moment, is everything. Therefore, I feel that traditional Chinese herbal medicine treatment, which allows animals to receive treatment without suffering from side effects while spending their daily lives with their families, is suitable for them.
Furthermore, "cancer stem cells" are said to be resistant to chemotherapy, persisting indefinitely and contributing to recurrence and metastasis. Therefore, it is necessary to enhance the immune system while maintaining overall health, in order to provide continuous treatment.
In animal healthcare, there is an increasing trend of describing chemotherapy as "having no side effects." However, the impact on the animals' immune system, digestive system, and overall health is significant. Furthermore,frequent tests also consume their remaining valuable time.
In cases where there is little hope of a cure for cancer, or if the preference is to spend the remaining precious time with family without unnecessary suffering from the side effects of treatment, we believe that our traditional Kampo herbal medicine treatment can be of helpful.

Treatment	Anticancer drugs	Kampo Herbal Medicine
Treatment goal	Killing rapidly dividing cancer cells	By regulating the body's constitution and activating immune cells, the body gains the ability to fight cancer and slow down its progression."
Features	Severely affecting highly metabolically active bone marrow cells or the gastrointestinal mucosa, it not only leads to side effects but also significantly impairs physical strength and immune function. The accumulation of strong toxicity and carcinogenicity not only results in severe side effects but also becomes a cause of other diseases. Immunity and physical strength significantly decline, reducing the natural anticancer capabilities of the immune system. When the defensive immune response and the body's physical strength are compromised, any remaining cancer cells can lead to a vulnerable state that is prone to recurrence and metastasis.	Improving one's constitution and boosting immunity is more easily achieved while maintaining a good quality of life (QOL)." Even if the cancer doesn't disappear, it is possible to continue caring for the cancer while maintaining a good quality of life (QOL).

Yoda〜The treatment of mast cell tumor

We've been treating mast cell tumor (Grade III, Kiupel Grade III, proliferation index 49) with traditional Kampo medicine for almost 10 months now. The symptoms of skin nodules and sporadic bleeding all over the body, like when I first examined her, have significantly improved. Currently, she maintain just a few (1-2) small growths on the face, and they don't seem to be getting any larger.
Fuu　〜Gastrointestinal Lymphoma

2019/01/10 Post on Facebook

Fuu-chan was diagnosed with 'Gastrointestinal Lymphoma' at Kawasaki Advanced Medical Center, and initially given a prognosis of only one year with chemotherapy. However, she has successfully crossed that one-year mark and her condition has been very stable. Traditional Kampo medicine treatment hasn't merely alleviated her symptoms, but it has brought about internal improvements, which have contributed to her stable health. With the progress she's made so far, we can be more optimistic about her future well-being.
