基于虚静论的晚期恶性肿瘤治疗探析

Analysis on the Treatment of the Advanced Malignant Tumor Based on the Theory of Emptiness

“虚静”是使人的精神进入一种无欲无求、无得无失、无功无利的安静祥和状态,这样五脏六腑安和,百脉顺畅,脏腑平衡协调,可以使人延年益寿。晚期恶性肿瘤给患者和家人在身体和精神方面带来了极大的痛苦,传统治疗差,不能耐受药物治疗。笔者基于《道德经》“致虚极,守静笃,夫物芸芸,各归其根,归根曰静,静曰复命”之“虚静”理论,使晚期恶性肿瘤患者平静下来进入“虚静”状态,可以延长患者的生存期、减轻痛苦及提高生活质量,因此,非药物治疗晚期恶性肿瘤方面值得借鉴和进一步研究。

The theory of emptiness refers to a harmonious and peaceful mental state where he can no longer be disturbed by any distractions of desire,loss or benefit,so that the internal organs can stay stable and the channels of the whole body operate smoothly,as life will be prolonged with a coordinated balance of the viscera.The advanced malignant tumor brings about tremendous pains of both physical and metal sufferings on the patients and their family.The traditional treatment performs far from the expectation as the tolerability on pharmacotherapy is limited.Based on the theory of emptiness from Tao Te Ching,“the state of vacancy should be brought to the utmost degree,and that of stillness guarded with unwearying vigor.All things alike go through their processes of activity,and then we see them return.When things have displayed their luxuriant growth,we see each of them return to its root.This returning to their root is what we call the stated of stillness;and that stillness may be called a reporting that have fulfilled their appointed end.”By the theory,the advanced malignant tumor patients can calm down into a state of emptiness,so that their life could be prolonged and sufferings alleviated with a quality life at the same time.It worths a further study and mirroring from the non-medicine treatment against the advanced malignant tumor.
