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.
