Is the Chinese giant salamander useful for cancer treatment, and is it edible?

Under normal circumstances, the Chinese giant salamander does not have a direct therapeutic effect on cancer, but it can serve as a nutritional supplement to assist dietary therapy. It is important to note that only farmed Chinese giant salamanders are suitable for consumption. Detailed explanations are as follows:

The Chinese giant salamander is rich in protein, amino acids, and various trace elements. These nutrients may help enhance the patient's physical condition and improve immunity. During the intervals of cancer treatment or the rehabilitation phase, moderate consumption of Chinese giant salamander can provide necessary nutritional support, aiding in recovery and boosting immunity.

Although the Chinese giant salamander is nutritionally valuable, it cannot replace professional medical treatments. Relying solely on consuming Chinese giant salamander for cancer treatment may delay proper medical care and potentially worsen the condition.

When consuming Chinese giant salamander, patients should also pay attention to the freshness of the ingredients and cooking methods, ensuring food safety and maximizing nutritional value.
