Dr. Qi Zhirong
The main dietary therapy methods for kidney cancer include the following: 1. Lycium Turtle Meat Soup: Cook Lycium barbarum (goji berries), turtle meat, and lean pork until tender. Consume in portions to help nourish the body. 2. Lycium Sea Cucumber and Pork Pan-fry: Slice Lycium barbarum, sea cucumber, and lean pork, then cook with water until tender. Season and consume in portions to enhance immunity. 3. Mushroom and Caterpillar Fungus Steamed Chicken: Simmer mushrooms, cordyceps sinensis (Dong Chong Xia Cao), and a whole hen for 2 hours to strengthen physical condition and promote recovery. 4. Daily Dietary Adjustment: Kidney cancer patients should maintain a low-salt, nutritious, light, and easily digestible diet. They should also consume more foods that help break down carcinogens, such as carrots, pumpkins, and peas, as well as immunity-enhancing foods like barley, soybeans, and mushrooms. These dietary therapies aim to assist in the treatment and recovery of kidney cancer patients but are not direct treatment methods. Patients should still follow their doctor's guidance for standardized treatment.
