There Once Lived a TCM Physician Named Sun Bingyan Who Could Bring Cancer Patients Back from the Dead
Before I met the online friend Shengdi Meiya, I had for a time doubted whether Dr. Sun Bingyan - the man so marvelously talked about in cancer circles - actually existed. One day, when I came across Shengdi Meiya in Sina's cancer-friend circle, I learned that the bold-medicine anti-cancer physician Sun Bingyan was indeed real, and that Shengdi Meiya was one of the many patients whom old Dr. Sun Bingyan had snatched back from the gates of hell.
Shengdi Meiya had sought out Sun Bingyan for late-stage malignant melanoma. Within two months, Sun Bingyan had treated him until he was swollen all over; but after that ordeal of using poison to attack poison, he survived miraculously for nearly twenty years, and is still alive today.
Sun Bingyan was one of the very few TCM physicians with outstanding results in treating cancer. Most of the cancer patients who came to him were already near the terminal stage; they had essentially already been through Western surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, with recurrent relapses, and were barely clinging to life. After Sun Bingyan's bold medication, they came back from the dead: patients who should have died within months survived for more than ten years, and such cases were plentiful.
Sun Bingyan was an extraordinary man, and one who constantly broke with convention. Many of his medical views were completely unlike those of ordinary TCM physicians; he created his own system for diagnosing and treating cancer patients, was extraordinarily bold in treatment, dared to use aggressive purgatives and poison-to-attack-poison drugs, and achieved remarkable results.
Sun Bingyan had many original insights in diagnosing cancer patients. He differentiated the "three imprints" and examined "one spot" in patients; his methods of touching the ears and abdominal palpation were all innovative diagnostic approaches. Having treated a great many cancer patients in recent years, I have had the chance to verify Sun Bingyan's diagnostic theories myself, and they are genuinely true.
The so-called three imprints are the nail imprint (presence or absence of the lunulae), the tongue-teeth imprint and the cheek-teeth imprint. Sun Bingyan found that most cancer patients have lost the lunulae on all ten fingers, and present with teeth-marked tongue and teeth-marked cheeks; he believed these signs are internally connected to the cold-heat state within the body. He would also perform abdominal palpation, examining tender points on the abdomen and around the navel; on the basis of these tender points he decided whether to apply purgation and qi-regulation. At the same time, Sun Bingyan found that most cancer patients have white spots on the body surface (ranging in size from a broad bean to a millet grain).
