Patient：how do you do? Could you tell me something about the function of IrPex Cacteus? I have had Chronic Kidney Disease since 2005 and it is in the third stage. After taking Chinese patent medicines like Piperazine Ferulate Tablets and Cozaar, I felt better in 2007. What would happen to me? And how is it treated? At present, I have little proteinuria(Proteinuria and Kidney Disease) and hematuresis. But when I am tired, there will be hematuresis. The serum creatinine is 156.
The expert’s reply: IrPex Cacteus is used to improve the immunity and it may have little effect on your disease. Kidney disease is the essential damage of kidney and it can be reversed if it is treated correctly and effectively. If we just remove the symptoms, it can relapse again and again with Chronic Kidney disease becoming worse. In your case, because the pathological damage does not recover, it recurs when you are tired and infected, and have a cold. Now you have to take care of yourself in diet and life to avoid the recurrence. At the same time, you have to receive effective treatment to strengthen the kidneys.
In my opinion, the integration of Chinese and western medicine is more effective than any single one therapy. The curative effect of Western medicine is quick and obvious. But it just removes the symptoms without doing anything to the disease root. In contrast, traditional Chinese medicine is different. It is target-oriented. That is it can reach the lesions without going stray. That’s the basic theory of Chinese medicine. Besides, Chinese medicine is derived from natural plants, which has little side effect. In fact, the adverse reaction of traditional Chinese medicine is much less than western medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine is likely to be accepted by people all the world.
In the fight against SARS in 2003, the application of Chinese medicine and western medicine has proved effective. The traditional Chinese medicine has showed its special advantage in treatment effect and reducing complication. About 58.3% SARS patients used the integration of Chinese and western medicine among the SARS patients who have been cured.
