Bringing together distinguished guests from all corners, the conference shone with academic excellence. From April 7 to 9, 2023, the “12th National Conference on Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine in Nutrition, together with the 2023 Annual Academic Meeting of the Tumor Supportive Care Professional Committee of the Zhejiang Society of Mathematical and Physical Medicine,” was grandly held in Hangzhou. Hosted by the Chinese Association for Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine and the Zhejiang Society of Mathematical and Physical Medicine, and organized by the Zhejiang Association for Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine and the Zhejiang Tumor Hospital, the event was co‑sponsored by the Nutrition Professional Committee of the Chinese Association for Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, the Tumor Supportive Care Professional Committee of the Zhejiang Society of Mathematical and Physical Medicine, and the Key Laboratory of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine for Tumors of Zhejiang Province. More than 500 experts and scholars specializing in integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine nutrition from across the country attended the conference in person.

This conference, under the theme “Integration of Chinese and Western Medicine—A New Direction in Nutrition,” will facilitate academic exchange on the theories, research, and clinical applications of integrative nutrition. It will also feature a dedicated session for discussing challenging and rare cases, highlighting recent advances and emerging trends in both domestic and international research, and fostering in-depth discussions and the sharing of expertise on complex issues. Furthermore, the conference will address topics such as the current state of tumor nutrition and supportive care in China, multidisciplinary approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of malignant tumors, and clinical practice guidelines, with the aim of strengthening standards of care.

Professor Yao Qinghua of Zhejiang Provincial Tumor Hospital, serving as the conference chair, delivered the opening address, extending a warm welcome and expressing gratitude to all leaders, experts, scholars, and guests for their participation in advancing the complementary integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and in jointly supporting the development of nutrition‑based and tumor‑supportive therapies.

The key to nutrition lies in blending Eastern and Western approaches.

Traditional Chinese Medicine is a treasured gem of ancient Chinese science and a key that unlocks the rich heritage of Chinese civilization. The application of TCM’s classical theories in the clinical management of tumors and postoperative nutrition has also demonstrated unique strengths. At this session on TCM dietary therapy and health preservation, several renowned senior TCM professors shared insights into nutritional therapies grounded in both TCM and Western medical principles, converging on a common message: the path to optimal nutrition lies in the harmonious integration of Eastern and Western approaches.

Professor Xia Yongliang of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine discussed the TCM theory of the Five Elements’ mutual control and transformation, as well as dietary therapy.

Professor Shi Renchao of Zhejiang Provincial Tongde Hospital shared with us the design of medicinal diets guided by traditional Chinese medicine theory.

Professor Wu Jing of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine delivered an academic presentation titled “Clinical Insights into the Application of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine-Based Nutritional Therapy.”

Professor Zheng Jin of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University delivered an academic presentation titled “‘Food-Drug Integration’ for the Prevention and Treatment of Tumors.”

The presentations and scholarly reports delivered by numerous experts and professors have provided both theoretical and practical foundations for advancing the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine in the fields of nutrition and oncology‑related supportive care, thereby jointly contributing to safeguarding public health in the post‑pandemic era.

Ten Miles of Spring Breeze on the Path of Nutrition

JibaiChuan made a highly anticipated appearance at the conference.

As soon as Ji Baichuan’s Lingzhi spore powder was unveiled, it immediately caught the attention of the attendees, with many stopping to inquire and sample it. After trying it on the spot, the guests expressed curiosity: “Why does your Lingzhi spore powder taste so good?” and “Where do you cultivate your Lingzhi mushrooms?”

During the discussion, the guest professors in attendance expressed strong approval of JibaiChuan’s cultivation philosophies of “Bringing Lingzhi Back Home” and “Wild‑type Cultivation,” and also commended the use of lingzhi spore powder in supporting the treatment of tumors and postoperative nutrition.

Ji Baichuan has uniquely created a “dry‑eating‑type Lingzhi spore powder”; good medicine doesn’t have to be bitter.

For many years, JibaiChuan Pharmaceutical has been deeply committed to the cultivation and sourcing of authentic Chinese medicinal herbs. It has established a Ganoderma lucidum base within the Dapan Mountain National Nature Reserve, at an elevation of over 800 meters, and rigorously implements the “wild‑adaptation cultivation” approach—ensuring ecological practices throughout the entire process and organic farming across all stages—to guarantee the authenticity of its raw materials. During processing, the company maintains fully eco‑friendly methods, gently breaking the cell walls without compromising the integrity of the spores, resulting in a Ganoderma spore powder with higher levels of bioactive compounds. The product boasts a pure, well‑balanced flavor—neither sour nor bitter—with a rich fungal aroma and a lingering aftertaste, making it particularly suitable as an adjunct therapy for tumor management, postoperative recovery, and nutritional supplementation.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine’s therapeutic principles, surgical resection, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy for tumors focus solely on “expelling pathogenic factors” while neglecting “tonifying vital qi,” and may even further damage the body’s righteous qi. Ganoderma spore powder, by contrast, effectively addresses the shortcomings of conventional tumor therapies by bolstering vital qi, thereby achieving the harmonious integration of “expelling pathogenic factors and tonifying vital qi.”

Lingzhi spore powder represents the essence of Lingzhi mushroom, and its cell-wall‑broken form enhances human absorption. Extensive modern clinical studies and traditional medicinal practices have demonstrated that lingzhi spore powder can bolster the body’s anti‑tumor defenses, inhibit the growth of tumor cells, and mitigate the toxic side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Moreover, during postoperative recovery, it helps strengthen immune function, thereby preventing tumor metastasis, dissemination, and recurrence.

Ji Baichuan’s broken‑wall Lingzhi spore powder, designated as the official gift for the annual courtesy visit of senior cadres from central and state organs, will wholeheartedly support cancer treatment and postoperative nutritional care. On this platform of showcasing strengths, fostering mutual complementarity, and driving collaborative innovation, we will share in an academic feast, jointly advance clinical development, and contribute to the field of nutritional support—making traditional Chinese medicine more effective and life healthier!
