  (一) How to deal with gastrointestinal polyps and other tumors and the corresponding diet therapy

At the beginning of the year, I learned that my youngest uncle had died of stomach cancer. In addition to sadness, I felt more pain from my heart. It was already in the later stage when his stomach cancer was discovered. So he passed away after more than half a year . People can't  revive when they have gone. Only by drawing lessons from it, does one make  progress and be worthy and respectful to the dead. I talked to my father about the cause of his stomach cancer, which may be related to long-term smoking and drinking. And also I remembered that about 35 years ago, my uncle had a hoarse voice because of multiple polyps in his throat and vocal cords. He had surgery at the hospital where I worked. He felt fine after surgery. His bigger polyps had been removed, and there were still many small polyps that cannot be removed at all. At that time, he was advised to quit smoking and drinking, and no one thought of a better way to reduce the occurrence of this polyp. That is to say, the surgery removes the polyps, but does not remove the source of the polyps. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, this polyp is related to phlegm coagulation and blood stasis. After most of the polyps were removed, if he paid attention to it, quit smoking and drinking alcohol, kept a good mood, balanced food and exercise, got rid of phlegm and blood stasis by Chinese herb medicine, to make body more healthy. Is it possible to not get stomach cancer when he gets older?

I also think of polyps in the digestive tract, such as common colon polyps. Besides to regular colonoscopy by the doctor of Western medicine, early checked and early removal, for patients with a history of colon polyps, in addition to control emotion, regulate diet and strengthening exercise, it can take traditional herb medicines to resolve phlegm and turbidity and remove blood stasis according to their physical condition, so as to change the condition of their body  it make polyps graduate away or stop to going to developing towards cancer?

For general thought, fibroids, lipomas, and cysts are benign, it is fine when the kind lumps have been removed. Now I changed my opinion and thought it's a sign of some kind of change in body condition. It should be paid attention to. If you pay attention to adjust your emotion at this time, eat a balanced diet, strengthen exercise and rest, and use some traditional Chinese medicines as a supplement according to your physical condition. Is it possible to interrupt the future development of this process?

How can traditional Chinese medicine or diet therapy help to get rid of digestive tract polyp?  How do traditional Chinese medicine help to recover after the treatments of gastrointestinal tumours? I was pleasantly surprised by searching online.

He Ren (1921-2012) ( the one of national greatest master of Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) in China at first batch, President of Zhejiang College of Traditional Chinese Medicine), the first session of the famous traditional Chinese medicine lecture, He Ren: <Clinical research of gastrointestinal tumours and others tumours >(1) His experience share: Yiyiren (Coix Seed,Semen Coicis), 30-60g , make congee, as food for a daily breakfast, take all the coix seed and soup, once every the morning, insist on long-term use, the effect is very good. It is ineffective to use the soup and discard the Yiyiren. Chinese medicine believes that Yiyiren is both for food and medicine, and has the effect of eliminating polyps. Patients with gastrointestinal tumours after surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, can be used as the food therapy and drug adjuvant therapy. Modern clinical pharmacological studies have also proved that Yiyiren has an anti-tumor effect.

（一）如何对待消化道息肉等肿瘤与相应的食疗

年初得知小舅舅胃癌去世。我除了悲伤之外，更多的是心痛。他的胃癌发现时候已经是晚期了，所以过了大半年后，人就走掉了。人去不能复生，但要从中总结出教训，才能有进步，才能对得起逝去的亲人。我和父亲谈论他发生胃癌的诱因，可能与长期抽烟饮酒有关之外，另外，我记得在大约35年前，我小舅舅因为咽喉部和声带有多个息肉声音嘶哑。在我工作过的医院做手术后大大改善。大的息肉都摘掉了，还有很多小的息肉没有办法全部都去掉。当时建议他戒烟酒，也没有想过有更好的办法能够减少这个息肉的发生。 也就是说手术祛除了息肉，但是没有祛除长息肉的源头。按中医理论来讲，这个息肉就是和痰凝血瘀有关。如果当时在息肉切除以后，充分重视这个问题，除了戒烟酒外，调情志饮食运动外，如用一些中药祛痰浊化血瘀的治疗改善身体状况，而中断它的转变进程，会不会在年纪大了以后，就不会发生胃癌了呢？

我现在还想到了消化道的息肉中，如常见的结肠息肉，除了西医定期做结肠镜，早发现，早祛除之外，对有结肠息肉病史的病人，除了调情志饮食，加强锻炼外，能否根据他身体的情况给予也给一些化痰浊祛血瘀的药，改变身体的状况以中断它往癌症发展呢？

以前认为纤维瘤，脂肪瘤，囊肿都是良性的，只要切除就可以了。现在我认为要重视这个问题，这是身体出现了某种改变的标志。如果这个时候注意调整情绪，均衡饮食，加强锻炼和休息，另外再根据身体的状况，辅助用一些中药。是不是就能中断这个过程的未来的发展呢？

中药或食疗如何帮助祛除消化道息肉？胃肠道肿瘤西医治疗后如何用中药调理？我经过网上查询有了惊喜发现。

何任（1921-2012年）（首届国医大师，浙江中医学院院长）名老中医讲座第一期，何任：脾胃与肿瘤病的临床研究（一）他的经验分享：薏苡仁30-60g，煮粥，做为每日的早餐，薏苡仁和汤汁全部服用，每早一次，坚持长期服用，收效很好。单用薏苡仁汤汁而弃薏苡仁不吃则无效。中医认为薏苡仁有祛除瘜肉的作用。胃肠道肿瘤手术放疗化疗后都可以服用，可以做为首先的食物药物辅助治疗。现代临床药理研究也证明了薏苡仁有抗肿瘤的作用。
