In terms of drugs, Chen Bosheng mentioned the drug Metformin for treating diabetes. It is an extract of the natural herb French lilac, which has been found to reduce the incidence of prostate cancer.
A study published in the journal European Urology in April this year found that metformin can prevent oxidative stress and promote normal mitochondrial function, protect the prostate from abnormal oxidative stress, and inhibit the development of prostate cancer.

In addition, metformin also helps the health of the elderly.
Last year, The Lancet Healthy Longevity published a research report from the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Hong Kong, which used genetic evidence to prove that metformin may contribute to healthy ageing by analyzing research data from more than 300,000 participants in the UK Biobank.
Chen Bosheng recommends that everyone undergo regular physical examinations to understand their physical condition.
Combining Chinese and Western Medicine to Treat Cancer
In the process of treating cancer, Chinese and Western medicine can cooperate with each other. Chen Bosheng proposed six principles of Chinese medicine in treating cancer, and further compared them with the treatment mechanism of Western medicine.
First of all, “strengthening the body’s immunity and eliminating pathogenic factors” refers to strengthening the body’s immunity and eliminating pathogenic factors, similar to the activation of immune cells in Western medicine. Chinese medicine can give patients a prescription to improve the body’s immunity, such as increasing the number of white blood cells or the proportion of lymphocytes.
“Clearing away heat and detoxifying” refers to the use of traditional Chinese medicine with anti-inflammatory activity, which can induce apoptosis of tumor cells.
The Chinese medicine concept of “ softening and dispersing nodules ” means that Chinese medicine can be used to change the signals on the surface of the tumor.
” Promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis ” refers to anti-coagulation, inhibiting angiogenesis, and thus inhibiting tumor growth.
” Resolving phlegm and removing dampness ” refers to removing pathological products from the body and eliminating water and waste through metabolism, and cancer is also a disease of metabolic imbalance.
” Nourishing the heart and calming the mind ” means improving sleep quality and increasing the anti-cancer ability of brain cells and the whole body system.
