My BIL had stage 4 colon cancer after large bleeding and refused chemotherapy and radiation after colostomy. His Dr said he’d be dead in 6 months but it’s been 22 years and he’s now 73 and doing fine!
Better if we stopped clinging so desperately to a life that is so short...just get on with it and be KIND to others along the way. God Bless you ...you pursue TRUTH TRUTHFULLY.
I’m 50 years old and I don’t want to get a colonoscopy at all.
Removing cancer causing chemicals from the food is the best anti cancer treatment
"Vitamin D3 has been estimated to lower the incidence of colorectal cancer by 50%, which is consistent with the inverse correlation between dietary vitamin D3 intake or sunlight exposure and human colorectal cancer."
Yess!! Thank you - I SO appreciate this! In the face of torrents of pressure to get a colonoscopy (after + Cologuard I was 99.9% certain was a false + ) I chose flex sig. Clean as a whistle up there. And yet
When I turned 45 my doctor told me I needed to test my colon for cancer, that it was very non-invasive, I said "Nah, I'm good".
I wonder how often people walk around for decades with precancerous, stage 1, and stage 2 cancer unbeknownst to them, and they're just fine.
My oldest brother had colon cancer so bad that he had to have the bag and then the reconnection. Never had a colonoscopy, BUT, he is the child who hated vegetables, drank, did recreational drugs, and lived a hard life by choice. I live a life that is the complete opposite, had a completely clean colonoscopy at 50, but don't want another one because I woke up ten minutes early and was awful. I would love another option.
Wow VP! Your face may be up on the dartboard in the FDA meeting room! Another erudite comprehensive discussion of a complex subject. Very well done!
I am a 3rd year medical student and I agree that the better thing is probably to abolish the FDA for 2 reasons:
Nice to listen to an intelligent human for once 👍
Dr. Prasad, you are a true champion of the people. Thank you for your work.
This is so rational. So sad politics and greed get in the way of all the great information and technology that’s available.
good to know about flex sig
Doing the lords work 🙏🏻🙏🏻 I’m not even religious. Thank you for all you do & educating the public . Thank you thank you. I miss seeing you & Zdog together
My 45 yo cousin had stage 4 colon cancer. Needed a big surgery & chemo. So far he is doing well.
Extol = praise; perhaps you mean Exhort = encourage.
Fun fact for Dr. Prasad: a little know aspect of Cologuard is that most of its diagnostic power come from doing FIT simultaneously (any patient who has done the tests can see that there are two ways the sample is used). It’s actually considered a dirty little secret.
Thanks Doc. Your rigorous, logical dissections of complex problems inspires confidence in the prospects for the future.
