Does eating bird's nest for cancer patients cause malignant cells to grow faster?

Cancer patients can eat bird's nest but need to consult a doctor

There is a lot of information that eating bird's nest makes cancer cells grow faster. According to Dr. Ha Vu Thanh, Department of Endoscopy and Functional Exploration, Central Cancer Hospital, advises:

Bird's nest is a precious food, but if we do not fully understand it, using it sometimes has the opposite effect. Just like eating white rice, people with high blood sugar if eating white rice will affect their health. Therefore, when eating bird's nest, you need to clearly understand who can use it and who should not use it.

Birds are weak in nature but nowadays people raise a lot of them. There are many different types of bird's nests but the most popular is Mao Yen. The bird's nest has many ash-colored feathers, is semicircular in shape, and has a concave inner surface. The nutritional components of bird's nests include protein, calcium, iron, selenium, and zinc. Vitamins found in bird's nests include vitamin B1, B6, vitamin E and are rich in collagen.

However, the use of bird's nest for medical purposes should be supervised by a medical professional. People who are allergic to pigeons, ducks, and chickens should not eat bird's nest. People with diabetes and high blood fat should also be careful when eating bird's nest.

For cancer patients, the time to use bird's nest is very important. It is best to use it after cancer treatment such as surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy. At that time, the body is supplemented with abundant nutrients, increasing resistance and improving the immune system.

However, I have met many patients who have just had their colon and large intestines removed and their families bought bird's nest to nourish them. But the patients had stomachaches and digestive disorders. When they stopped eating bird's nest, the other symptoms also disappeared. Cancer patients should only use 3-5g of bird's nest at a time. At the same time, the frequency of use should not exceed 3 times per week. To minimize side effects, patients should avoid using bird's nest with meats such as pork, beef, etc.

My advice for patients is that when eating bird's nest, you need to consult your doctor to avoid negative effects on your health.
