I can’t seem to find Parts 2,3,4 of this series.

I’ve scanned Dr. T’s entire Substack.

Dr. Sherri Tenpenny Thank you for your expertise but I would like you to explain the reason for your most recent Ohio Medical Board Lawsuit as provided ; https://med.ohio.gov/static/formala/34003789.pdf

Why are you being either disciplined or possibly your medical license taken away?

Dr Tenpenny

In a system of corruption and malfeasance many good and honorable people will be persecuted, targeted in a attempt to discredit them and then worse harm them…my heartfelt prayers go out to you and to others who see the danger but still stand up for the truth!..this can take its toll at times but know this ..there is power when fighting for God given rights…especially when the focus is on others…God love you and bless you…your a true soldier, a servant and a loving child of God…may His light shine upon you!

9/4/23 Dear Dr. Tenpenny, Thanks for clarifying your experience and persecution by your Ohio Medical Board. I am sorry that your are having to go through what seems to be unwarranted allegations and it seems that they are questioning your better integrative medicine and treatment practice. I am very proud of the fact that you rely on your Heavenly Creator, The Greatest Physician and that you have support from all who respect and appreciate your service to your patients.

Please stay strong and resolved and we all pray for your overcoming this unfair judicial process. To your favor.

Please stay well and safe and be blessed.

I reckon that if you avoid processed foods and lead a healthy lifestyle... you have a zero chance of getting colon cancer.

I had two friends nearly died from perforations during colonoscopies. I will never get another.

In 2021, my colonoscopy revealed, "Cecum FRAGMENTS OF A TUBULOVILLOUS ADENOMA. NEGATIVE FOR HIGH-GRADE DYSPLASIA. LOW GRADE DYSPLASIA APPROXIMATES BIOPY EDGES." I was told to get a repeat colonoscopy in 3 months. Haven't gone yet. Do I need to? I don't trust the medical profession anymore.

Please see my April 8th comment above about identifiable risk factors. Since your doctor found a polyp in 2021 with some low grade dysplasia, you likely need a repeat. The 3 months are a moot point since now it appears that more than a year has passed as this is now 2023.

I had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma at age 48 and survived. So, due to higher risk for cancer than the general population, I did my first colonoscopy at age 50; then did one five years later where a benign polyp was removed; and did the next four years later (should have been 3 years) where a 10 mm polyp was found. the pathology report should be back next week. I agree that screening colonoscopies based upon age alone are not very cost-effective. It is a lot of hassle for a 12-minute procedure. I had two days of down time. I spent a day doing the prep; two hours waiting in pre-op; another hour in recovery; and was restricted from driving for another 12 hours. There should be identifiable risk factors to justify the procedure.

That's a great comment Joe... and the point of this 4-part series. Do a colonoscopy with RISK or with SYMPTOMS....not just because you are 50y!

Thanks. I've had two (because that first polyp.) No cancer so far, and I will be skeptical if advised to get another without good cause.

I had a laparoscopy done to remove my appendix. Just a few hours later, I was bleeding internally and needed two transfusions. 10 days later I was diagnosed with sepsis. While my family was planning my funeral, it was discovered there was nothing wrong with my appendix. I am so glad there is a God.

Did they fail to sew up the cut or left something inside?

Three years ago, my colonoscopy revealed that I had a large benign tumor in a bad location, the junction of the large and small intestines. Several weeks later, I had it surgically removed. Had I not known about it, it would have continued to grow, and would have caused serious problems as it choked off that passageway. An at-home cancer screening test would not have picked it up. Everyone needs to do their own risk/benefit analysis, but in my case it was worth it.

i avoided having a colonoscopy for years. i have a large adenoma polyp that has to be removed. it is slow growing, but will be a cancerous tumor if i do nothing. use caution in avoiding this screening tool.

"...but will be a cancerous tumor if i do nothing..."

I know that's the standard teaching, but how do you know it's true?

When you get to part 4, you will read I’m not against colonoscopy as diagnostic too. I’m not a fan of it as a screening tool

The doctors are to be trusted unconditionally. Good people. Just because most of them advocate for the Covid shots which can only do you harm (proven to be very unsafe and not at all effective) should give you no pause in taking their word about anything.

I"m assuming your post is meant to be tongue-in-cheek. People should challenge their doctor about everything!

I never understood how seeking out cancer via these routine procedures are counted as "prevention". In my simple mind, I would've thought it to be eating a balanced diet void of processed foods, exercising, reducing stress...but what do I know?
