My 90 year old aunt is going for a colonoscopy- she had one just a year ago! Her doctor wants her to get another because she had a precancerous polyp last time. I am mortified that they want to repeat it at her age...but she does what the doctor tells her to do.
A good friend (an orthopedic surgeon), at age 60, used the Cologuard test and it came back positive! It was a tense week waiting for his appt. w/his gastroenterologist for a colonoscopy.
Fortunately, the colonoscopy’s results were negative.
The gastro doctor felt that relying on that test alone was very misleading & sometimes unfortunate, especially for those over age 50.
I nervously had my first colonoscopy at 55, feeling pressured by my doctor despite no family history of cancer or symptoms (very healthy). It seemed to go okay until afterwards. I had sharp lower abdominal pain in a specific spot, concerning me that they had damaged my colon. The doctors office did not appear concerned, nor did they offer help besides "go to the ER if your pain persists". Absolutely no responsibility was being accepted, no call from the doctor. The pain persisted for 2 weeks, gradually decreasing after one week. I finally got the doctor to call me after 10 days, and he was not apologetic or reassuring. I don't know what the pain was from, besides perhaps abrasion of the colon. I will never do it again, and highly do not recommend it unless you have a close family member with cancer. I hope my story helps someone think twice, do your research, and above all Trust Your Gut! (pun intended)
How would you like to have a colonoscopy while being awake and feeling everything, without local anesthesia? I did in 2014, and it was my first. I had it done at the world renowned MD Anderson in Houston, and the head of the gastroenterology dept. performed it. While I was being prepared for the scope, I was "hooked up" to an IV and noticed there was no sedative effect taking place. So, I asked the nurse what was happening, and the surgeon overheard my question. He said there would be NO LOCAL anesthesia that day, which was Wednesday. He said Wednesdays were days when there were no anesthesiologists available for that dept. Of course, I did not believe him - in a hospital of that size? Then, he promptly wheeled me in for the torture procedure. Since that time 11 years ago, I informed my PCP I will NEVER again have another colonoscopy. Thankfully, he understood. Other than drinking the poison prior to the procedure, the experience was horrific. Never again.
My husband is set to retire from his 20 year military military career and they really push a colonoscopy before retirement and we’ve been putting it off. I am looking forward to reading more about this, thank you so much.
My wife’s friend had a colonoscopy. All appeared to have went well. But while sleeping that evening, at home, she experienced discomfort in the area of the procedure. She went to the ER.
After examining her, it was determined that the team left something in her that should have been removed. It was removed, and all appears to have been corrected. However, several weeks after all that, she received a bill for the ER procedure. Last, I heard the woman was litigating the bill.
Big quack knew that parasites are “cancer” in the late 1800’s. This is a documented Fact.
Books were written, papers were published and then it was buried. Rockefeller didn't want people knowing about it.
I see all this talk of “polyps” but no mention of Eggs!
I had a “polyp” in my rectum for years. After using fresh water food grade Diatomaceous Earth and Activated Charcoal for a couple weeks, it was GONE!
Based on my own studies (years of it) and the studies of doctors that aren't allowed on TV, there are two primary parts of the body that must be cleaned to stay healthy:
The Liver and the Gut.
Healthy gut, healthy Temple!
There are people out here that have studied this stuff for decades. I have read reports that you will never see unless you dig through the haystack like we did.
University is where you get turned into a big pharma quack.
100% of every corrupt Dr that has made a fortune with unnecessary surgical procedures, and every one that has murdered people with pills and jabs had a “degree” from a quack school.
The “witches” that were murdered in the Great “witch hunt” weren't witches; they were Healers! They used plants to help people, and they were good at it, but they stood in the way of modern quackery.

On the other hand, a 2019 studyTrusted Source found that Cologuard:
can sometimes miss precancerous polyps in its screening, which is called a false negative
can often miss detecting the presence of larger polyps
also carries a higher risk of false positives, which a colonoscopy does not
Truth? This a dangerous and malicious scam
Colonoscopies in the US are very profitable. So OF COURSE they are promoted beyond their clinical value.

You can spend $12.00 on sodium bicarbonate orally and kill cancer.
Cancer was cured centuries ago. I can prove it.

You may want to check your math again.
