Abstract:
The article summarized professor SUN Weizheng's clinical experience in treating multiple myeloma using the clearing-releasing therapy. It is believed that the mechanism of multiple myeloma is kidney essence insufficiency, pathogenic toxin erosion, and blinding of phlegm and stasis. The treatment should consider both the deficiency and the excess, and the root and branch. Thus, the clearing-releasing therapy is proposed. “Clearing” refers to the approach of supplementing deficiency and reinforcing health while advocating the use of clearing and supplementing products to replenish without generating additional pathogenic factors. Additionally, products that clear heat, resolve toxins, dispel stasis, dissolve phlegm, and eliminate masses is suggested to benefit for clearing away pathogenic toxins. “Releasing” means to replenish the normal yang qi with sweet-warm and acrid-warm products on the basis of “clearing” method, and to release the cold pathogen constraint in the muscles and bones. Based on the principle of clearing and releasing, the selfmade Jishi Beverage (济世饮) is formulated to supplement the kidney and secure essence, dispel phlegm and dissolve stasis, resolve toxins and dissipate masses. The prescription can be modified according to syndrome differentiation. It is also advocated to use multiple methods and pay attention to external therapies such as enema for relieving constipation and draining heat, and to combine acupuncture and medicine to relieve pain.
