Do Your Research Cont...

This was a follow up comment from a relative regarding my post last evening, along with my response...


Follow Up Comment- I agree with some of what you say but if my dad would have had a colonoscopy his cancer could have been prevented from at least showing up there, that is to say if it was not in his liver already, but we will never know for sure.


My Response- Dear Grandpa... I was 21 when we lost him to colon cancer... watching him suffer through everything really opened my eyes. It was from that point on that I knew, without a doubt that I wanted to do something health related. "The July 28 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association featured a commentary by two researchers at Columbia University Medical Center who question the use of colonoscopy as a screening tool. Drs. Alfred I. Neugut and Benjamin Lebwohl state that research shows that colonoscopy is not any better for preventing deaths from colon cancer than other less invasive methods such as sigmoidoscopy." Colonoscopies miss approximately 40% of the polyps, there are risks with the fluids ingested that are used prior to the procedures and tears can occur in the colon during the procedure. "...a new Canadian study, the results of which appear in the Annals of Internal Medicine,* has now determined that the test misses almost all cancers in the right side of the colon, where about 40% of cancers develop." Colonoscopies miss flat polyps. A high fiber diet, low in animal based foods, with the elimination of dairy and oils can prevent colon and many other types of cancer. This is thoroughly revealed in the China Study. Our genes only play a 2-3% role in the outcome of our health. Most people that are diagnosed with some form of cancer do not consume an optimal diet. If dietary changes are made and they seek out the right type of care, keeping in mind that the stage of the cancer does matter as well, almost all forms of cancer are reversible.

Do Your Research

I went to a health intensive event this weekend and heard some very interesting, yet not surprising stories.  One gentlemen was told by his M.D. that he needed a bone marrow transplant.  After exploring the benefit, or downside to the traditional approach vs. alternative methods he came to find out that there was no benefit to the traditional approach, 0%.  He went back to his M.D. and told him what he had discovered and the M.D.'s response was, "I know that you don't need a bone marrow transplant, but it's better to do it while you are younger than older."  A women was recently diagnosed with Osteo Angina.  After doing her own research she took the information back to her M.D.  Her research revealed that the condition was totally BOGUS and that the government agreed that it was totally bogus.  The M.D. was totally floored, asked to make copies of the stack of research and said that she needed to share it with her colleagues and interns.  Who was the doctor?  My friends, it pays off to be informed vs. ignorant.  It is down right dangerous to simply trust a nurse, or doctor.  While they could be informed and knowledgeable, it does not hurt to do your own scientific research.  The skin care products you use, the food you eat, everything.  Make sure the sites, studies and references are legit.  The only way to prevent all health related conditions from allergies to cancer is to eat a plant based diet, exercise regularly, get some sunshine, sleep and reduce stress.  There is more evidence supporting that colonoscopies, mammograms and PSA tests, etc, are worthless.  God forbid, if I was in a horrible car accident and my limbs were detached I would want to have all the modern medical treatments available, otherwise, I have 98% control of my health.
