I had ZERO symptoms, no family history and they found stage 3 rectal cancer during a routine colonoscopy. That was 2019.. Today, I am happy to report I'm coming up on 3 years cancer free!
@@daisydukes8252 no chemo or radiation. They wanted me to do them, but I told them no. We went all natural therapies. Eventually we did decide to do surgery and everything went well
Both of my grandmothers lived until 93 years old and drove a car up until 90. My one grandmother ate healthy, took vitamins and walked a ton daily. My other grandmother smoked half of her life, never exercised or walked a lot but stayed active, she ate every bad for you can think of and ate tons of sugary foods and candy every day, however, she ate in moderation and small meals. Both lived to 93 years old and both got dementia the last couple years of their life. Meanwhile, Steve Jobs, a vegetarian for most of his life, died of cancer at 56. Robin Gibb, a long time vegan, died of cancer at 62. Just eat in moderation, stay active, be happy and enjoy today. Nobody is promised tomorrow no matter what you do.
I had ALL these symptoms. These colon videos made me freak out thinking I had cancer. Ended up only having hemorrhoids and diverticulitis. Not saying you shouldn’t get checked out but don’t always assume the worst!
Don’t ever be put off by doctors saying you’re too young for colon cancer. If you think you are not ok be persistent. My daughter died aged 21 due to this awful disease. Her doctor told us that she never really considered it in someone so young.
I noticed my husband was visiting the bathroom more often than usual so after about a month I asked him about it; he said he felt the need to go more often but wasnt passing anything except orange mucus. I insisted he visit the doctor, who referred him for an emergency colonoscopy a few days later. They found a small rectal tumour which was successfully removed about a week later, he didnt need chemo because it had been caught so early. That was 10 years ago and he is still 100% cancer free. I am so glad I pestered him to find out what was going on and made him see the doctor, it literally saved his life.
Mom died with colon cancer, discovered too late. Since then (12 years ago) I have done 4 colonoscopies and have really cleaned my diet. Thanks for reinforcing this doc!
The fact that nobody talks about censored book called The 23 Former Doctor Truths by Lauren Clark really gets to me. Always loved people like Lauren, they open our eyes
REMEMBER: it can be many other things than cancer (IBS, Celiac Disease ) - I had ALL of these symptoms and had a full colonoscopy done and they found nothing.
My aunt Prentice lived to age 102. She was know as the baking aunt who always made the best pies, cakes, cookies and all that sugary fudge and peanut rounders. She was finally placed in a nursing home after her husband passed away at age 95. She said she looked forward to going to the “old folks home”, as it would be an adventure where she could and would share many of her recipes with the staff there. When I last saw her, she was still winning the wheel chair races at 101 yrs old. RIP Auntie Prentice.
Your aunt's story made my chuckle. I think her happy-go-lucky attitude helped her live a long life.😀 I think she RIH (h is happiness) Thanks for sharing.
Your Aunt was a happy childlike soul who's happiness spread far and wide, all the way to the Heavens above. Thank you for sharing that. Made my morning. 😇
My aunt had colon cancer and had quite abit of her colon removed, but luckily not to where she has to wear a bag. She'll be 80 this summer & has been cancer free for over 20 yrs. 🥰
My hubby was 7 years overdue but he got sick of sepsis due to a liver abscess, so his dr ordered colonoscopy and so he had stage 1 sigmoid CRC, he had that removed and hoping for complete remission. He gets to be checked every year now. Thanks for your continued education
I had all these symptoms and got referred for 2 colonoscopy and then eventually an endoscopy and they found I had small benign tumours in my bowel and then the 1 inch ulcer in my stomach. I wondered why I had to turn over every half hour at night trying to sleep because it felt like my blood was pooling on one side. I was severely enemic and when I got operated on and fixed I could sleep normal instantly for 3 hrs easily without turning over. I think I was really an extreme case.
@@pedroroque829 My mother had colon cancer symptoms for over 2 decades before she died. Her husband has bone cancer for 17 years and he's still living. Neither has had any treatments. He's 76 and my mother was 80
Had my stern pipe checked at 50 with a colonoscopy as part of my check-up. I asked the doctor to completely knock me out, so I woke up afterward with no memory of the procedure. They found three precancerous polyps that they removed. I'm 52 now and just completed my mail-in Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT), which is free in Canada, easy to do at home, and I'm glad to report that the report came back clear.
I’m 47 and ironically, had a colonoscopy on Monday. I have no symptoms, but just was doing it for screening purposes. I had the doctor keep me awake so I can see the whole process and to be honest it wasn’t that bad, and it was pretty relieving to know that everything is fine.
I had it done recently and got the all clear but have since read that small developing tumors are commonly missed. Point being, we can't let down our guard.
Doctors do a better job when you are under anesthesia as most patients wont tolerate the procedure well without being under. A recent study confirmed this where Europeans had less effective scopes since they don't use anesthesia.
My late wife was 39 (13 yrs ago) when she had low iron and all her doctor did was prescribe iron tablets, bc she was a young, menstruating woman (which made her feel artificially better) and blood tests, 2 times. The tests found nothing. 12-18 months later, she started vomiting late at night, but it was only after a late meal out and not often. These were only symptoms and didn't present together until too late. Eventually, the tiredness returned and new doctor referred her for endoscopy and colonoscopy, the latter detected a large tumour and she had stage 4 colorectal cancer. Sadly she died 2 yrs later after chemotherapy and surgery. Don't let your GP fob you off with tablets if you're suddenly getting sick (iron deficiency) which you never had before. Insist on further investigation.
Yikes, that’s what’s happening to me right now. Struggling with iron and tired all the time. Sensitive to gluten and feeling pain on my right side if I eat anything with gluten.
Just found out one of coworkers that was in his early 50s passed away from colon cancer 😥I'm devastated. He was a wonderful man and a good father. I believe diet played a huge part in his diagnosis. RIP RAY🙏🏿
Wish ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s was mentioned in here (maybe it’s been discussed in another video). My mother and I had EVERY ONE of these symptoms…bleeding (at times so much that the entire toilet water turned red and mixed with mucus), urgency but always still feeling like you have to go again, abdominal pain, etc. We were misdiagnosed for over 15 years. Mother’s finally turned to cancer. She passed away 2 yrs later. I choose to undergo surgery to remove everything and got a Barnett Continent Intestinal Reservoir back in 1994. The thing is that people can save their lives if they’ll just get it checked out if symptoms continue for more than a couple of weeks.
My Aunt passed from colorectal cancer. My Mom has stage 3b in the sigmoid. She felt awful and was very constipated. Immediate colonoscopy diagnosed it, then immediate surgery. They got it all and had preventative chemo. Was cancer free
Thanks for all this information, I’m 53 yo male. I had a cologaurd test like 2 years ago and tested negative but for the last 6mo at least ,I’ve been getting all these symptoms mentioned in the video ,minus the blood in the stool. I’ve sort of mentioned to my General Doctor/Primary care, he’s thinking it might me some of the meds I take causing IBS. Now after seeing this I am thinking about going to a Gastroenterologist and finding out exactly what’s going on, watching this video opened my eyes t how serious this is and don’t want to take a chance with this, it really scares me.
Many of the symptoms you mentioned in the beginning are also some of the many symptoms (bowel changes, constipation and diarrhea, anemia, bloating and more), of Celiac Disease. Also eating certain foods like blueberries and beets, can change the look of the stool by making them black and have a different consistency or make it look like you have blood in your stool. If you have symptoms like the doctor mentioned and you get tested negative for cancer, make sure you push your doc to find out the cause. Celiac is deadly too. Also, even if you never smoke, drink, or eat processed foods, does not make you immune to disease.
Very true. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) symptoms can also mimic colon cancer symptoms. It's good to have a chat with your doctor if you have symptoms that are causing concerns.
@@charmc4152 Yes, exactly! IBS, Chrones, and more. It's been my experience that most docs will not investigate much. Unfortunately it is up to us to tell the doc what tests we want/need. It took me 55 yrs to get a Celiac diagnosis and when my son went to get tested, he told him he didn't have symptoms, which was bs. My guess is since there is no drug money involved in helping people with CD, they don't want to test.
@@charmc4152 I never knew I had IBS because I never have diarrhea. Turns out you can still have it with constipation. I wish that was made clearer as they seem to focus on diarrhea with IBS.
@@charmc4152 For me IBS is a reaction to wheat allergy or intolerance. Give up wheat and grains for ten days and see what happens. You can get fibre from vegetables etc.
Worst part is that some symptoms are the same as ibs. So you either have colon cancer and you are ignoring it or you have ibs and you are constantly with anxiety thinking you are going to die making ibs worse. Its terrible.
I just found out last week that a former boss and good friend of mine died of colon cancer. He was only 66. Thanks for the information and good video.👍🏾🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@claudiamarianidamato9499 I cut out all animal protein and refined products. Also chlorinated water and avoided any chemicals wherever possible. Exercise at least twice a day .morning and night to drain lymph system. A 15 min. walk swinging your arms is ideal. Diet must be high in fat and fresh raw oils. Polly unsaturated oils should never be heated.
@@herbbowler2461 what about when you are so weak and can't even get hospice and know you are dying and can no longer eat or drink becauas it causes pain all over insides.. I can feel all the food moving.. I no longer eat .. not sure how long I can live without food/water..
I have been following a young lady named Tiffany (Tiffany Thinks on YT) for over a year now. She was diagnosed with advanced colon cancer at age 29. She has surgery this month to remove many organs & cancer. She's an optometrist in the UK. She started having blood in her stool over a year & half ago. Excruciating abdominal & back pain. Tiffany lost a lot of weight. 20 lbs . She is 95 lbs now. She also was diagnosed with an iron deficiency+ anemia & felt weak years prior..
How did I not know she is an optometrist? She is adorably sweet; takes after her mother. I think her biggest strength is her huge loving family. She just needs to quit feeling so obligated to her followers, especially after midnight, when she needs rest the most, after a very long and draining day.
@@herbbowler2461 Sir How you treated colon cancer What foods + nuts!+seed+ ftuites you used and cure your colon cancer Hope for your very sincere and humble reply in shortest period of Time!!!! Johan
Currently I'm binge watching doctors telling you about warning signs and right now I'm paranoid I might have diabetes, cancer, colon cancer, dementia, insomnia ...etc. I love putting myself into a stressful situation
Given the toxicity of the food supply, this video is recommended. I had diagnosed colorectal cancer in 2005, with a surgical solution of removal of the whole colon. My diet pre-surgery was what was considered normal. Nowadays diet is special.
Such good information thank you! My heart broke on 3/25/2020, our 39 year old daughter Lauren died of Sigmoid colon cancer, diagnosed 3/1/2020 😪 The doctors said she was constipated and she must take Miralax - even though she was very distended and looked about 7 months pregnant, from Ascites fluid build up. Spread to liver and lungs 😪A CAT scan found the cancer, we were devastated. Her two sons apparently need colonoscopy at 25. It’s no longer a disease for old people. If parents have polyps, their young adult children should have a colonoscopy.
I had a friend who passed away from colon cancer. What an insidious disease. 😭Please do a video on the difference between a colonoscopy and a sigmoidoscopy and how to determine which is appropriate. Thx for sharing! 👍🏽
@@TheAerovons My insurance company is giving out free “pre tests”. Not quite as unpleasant as the colonoscopy prep, but you do have to send a piece of poo through the USPS. Then they will check to see if you can go longer without a colonoscopy. If it shows blood or possible precancerous signs, they will recommend the colonoscopy, which is, at that point, highly encouraged.
@@TheAerovons my doctor said there’s an easier pill form prep for colonoscopy so it’s much easier. I figure taking that prep and having a colonoscopy is a lot easier than having cancer and needing chemo, radiation and worse
@@proudrosemom I've heard horror stories about the pill, they are up here on YT. Don't know if they are true, but they don't seem to be the norm. In any case, at age 71 the risks of perforation, and heart problems (I've had heart attacks) are much higher. These are fine for younger people than myself....
I have all the symptoms, i am anemic and blood stool test positive and my doctor said i should not worried until i do the colonoscopy and it's planned for next week, i am super worried I am only 24 , all my family depends on me ,pray for me please 😭
I'm F'd. Stomach cramps for 2 years (Prilosec stops this), occasional blood in toilet (twice a year), slight pain in my rump now and again...I needed to see this video.
Important to remember you can have rectal bleeding and abdominal pain and change in stools and it's still unlikely to be cancer, just in case anyone is freaking out with worry.
Yeah I still worry about it. Had ibs for years now which is what doctor has written but on a bad flare up I still go to cancer in my head. I've been to doctors and had fit test and celiac test which was negative. If it was cancer it would have got worse by now I'd imagine but my stomach and bowels cause me pretty bad discomfort some days and of course ever since I searched cancer these videos come up all the time.
Your video on colon cancer hits close to home for me. I recently started a channel sharing educational content about colon cancer and the lessons I've learned along the way. Your content is inspiring, and I believe we can create a positive impact by sharing our stories.
@@amritasingh6071 He claimed to have had no symptoms but I am not sure of that. He was brought into the hospital because of a heart attack. He received a stent and the cardiologist told me he was extremely anemic. "When was his last colonoscopy?," he asked. My husband was extremely overdue for a colonoscopy, unfortunately.
I was diagnosed when I was in my late thirties, approx 6 years back. I had secondaries stage 4 colon cancer in the descending area of bowel on the bend. I previously beat blood cancer (Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma) but unfortunately I relapsed after 10 months with Bowel Cancer. Unfortunately I also had a stricture too narrow for a full colonoscopy. This meant a section of bowel be removed and a colorectal resection. Chemo, and a stem cell transplant followed and I am now in complete remission. Please don’t ignore bowel movement changes, night sweats, severe abdominal pain straight after eating or the need to go to the bathroom asap when the pain starts. I also had weight loss and fatigue. Thank you NHS, you guys are amazing 👏🏽
And that false sense of security in knowledge can kill you. This is why you should visit your doctor, who can test you and determine the true cause. Worst case scenario: he finds cancer much earlier than if you didn’t go to the doctor. Best case scenario: your tests rule out cancer and you are treated for the real cause of bleeding and loose stools…and you get a good night’s sleep knowing you do not have a malignancy. But don’t just sit and hope everything is fine. Hope kills.
For people who are not aware, there are 3 main hot spots for colon cancer in the US: the Mississippi Delta, west-central Appalachia, and Hampton Roads, VA/NE North Carolina. If you live in any of these areas, take extra precautions to protect yourself. Some people say it is due to diet, but I imagine there are bad diets nationwide and I can't imagine that being the cause. I imagine it has something to do with watersheds. I live in Hampton Roads, VA. My grandfather had colon cancer, and my mom had colon cancer. I have had 3 next door (including across the street) neighbors die of cancer, one of whom was in his 30s when he died. I have another neighbor currently who has terminal cancer. I'm not sure how many of these Virginia neighbors had colon cancer specifically, as that's not something you necessarily ask about, but I imagine 1-2 of these cases are related to the colon just based on the high frequency. My parents have a home in NE North Carolina, as well, and our next door neighbor out there had colon cancer. It's just big in this area. Stay safe and healthy, everybody.
@Gchang54 Or people who have the cancer gene are having kids and passing it on yes cancer can be random but when a person that has known cancer in their family keeps having generations of kids of course it is going to spread and seem like we have more cases of cancer. in the past family trees died of with cancer but now we have treatments and those cancer families are now having longer living family trees. Thus brining in more cancer cases not westernized food. Cancer has been around for thousand of years it just that most countries didn't know it was the thing killing people they just call it a sickness.
A lot of these symptoms are due to a lot of things. It doesn't only have to be colon cancer. My bowels change depending on what I eat which is a lot of vegetables, blue berries, etc.
I was diagnosed with stage 3c colon cancer two years ago last January. I had 8 lymph nodes involved. I had my second colonoscopy performed 4 years prior to my diagnose. The doctor missed a polyp in my cecum. I had surgery and 6 months of chemotherapy, at Duke Cancer Center. Had it not been for a PA at Duke, I would not be here now. Be very proactive with your health. And always stay positive and stay away from SUGAR!!
Same diagnosis 3c. Had a 3" tumor in the cecum. Lost 15" of Colan. ascending and a third of the transcending Colan with 8 lymphoids involved plus 3 blood vessels. Finished chemo in August. Had a tuff time with the port and bloodclots. Had my first fallow up colonoscopy yesterday. They removed another small polyp at the Sigmoid Colan. I went to one meal a day, really helped with my cholesterol, blood pressure, blood labs and mental focus. 100% sugar in any form other than what's found in natural fruits and vegetables is pure poison
Cook cow feet and knee weekly, which is full of collagen. It creates a mucus kind of layer to stomach and intestine that brings healing. That helped my mom. All you need is a crockpot.
Love your videos. As an old Endoscopy nurse, I can't believe how people are still being diagnosed with colon cancers with all the screenings we have out there. "The prep." OK, yes it is not fun, but is cancer? Do the prep and get checked! So many people won't submit to a test that is fairly quick, and they make it painless. In fact you can wake up and it has already been done. Do "the prep" people and take the test.
My grandmother died from colon cancer. She suffered so much. She ate fresh not processed foods too. Please do the fecal stool test. It is so simple to do and can let you know if you have symptoms without getting a colonoscopy.
It's not that accurate. The test is only as good as the sample you take. You could miss the bloody part of your stool by 1 mm and get a false negative.
Had a good friend pass on from Colon cancer 2 years ago. When they found the cancer it had already spread to his lungs. He fought it for 2 years. I don’t like the idea of a colonoscopy but it’s worth it. RIP Matt we miss you
My grandmother lived until 98 years old. She ate bacon , sausage or ham every morning. Lunch was often salami, pepperoni, or some kind of lunch meat. Dinner was roast, pork chops, deer meat, chicken, duck. Or Turkey. She drank about two ounces of Kummel once a week. Otherwise she drank her own canned tomatoe juice, grape juice. Water or occasionally orange juice. She made pies and ate ice cream every evening. She weighed 140 pounds was 5' 8 . Her secret . She worked in garden, making rugs, feeding cattle, balling hay etc every day . And she didn't go to a doctor since she broke an arm in 1946. She died in her sleep. She ate what she wanted, drank what she wanted and I don't recall her ever being sick , coughing, etc she also didn't go around people outside of family. So her stress was low.
I can tell you from experience that a colonoscopy isn't that bad. I was only sedated the first time so I remember everything. You are draped, they lower the lights in the room and watch their TV screen. It's over with quickly. If you are under general anesthesia it's like no time has passed. And, the peace of mind once it's done is worth it.
1 in 10000 people who colonoscopy die due to complications from procedure. 1 in 100000 die of colorectal cancer. So if everyone got colonoscopy, the death rate from colonoscopy would be higher than actually dying from colony cancer. It's not something you should be randomly going and doing without actual need for it. No doctor will suggest you randomly do it the first time you see some symptoms. Everything is first treated with less invasive treatments because 95% of the time it's not cancer. When there is no relief then it's colonoscopy time. it's not a perfect system but it beats the alternative of immediately doing colonoscopy and then raising deathrates among healthy patients
Two important people in my life have died due to colon cancer. One right after the other and in all honesty, I have been paranoid this last 10 years. I am turning 40 soon and have been thinking about getting checked. My fathers doctor said I should have gotten check at age 30 since colon cancer runs in the family.
Another thing to consider is that you can get slow moving stool due to inactivity if you don't run or walk a lot your stool will move slower through through the bowels if you sit a lot as an example.
I also had no symptoms. I was diagnosed with bowel cancer 10 days ago. On Tuesday, I go into hospital, to have more surgery. If you’re over 45 yrs, do a Bowel Test. In Australia, they’re free.
My brother was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer back in August of this year. At that time he was 56 years old. He has been given 1 to 2 years to live. Myself after having a colonoscopy done about a year and a half ago was told that some polyps were removed and if they had been in my colin any longer they would have been cancerous.
For those facing colonoscopies: the prep goes better if you cut back eating the day or so before. Not a good idea to schedule after a big feast!! Make up your mind that it’s not a terrible price to pay in return for knowing your cancer free.
I wish I had known that upfront. I didn't eat a feast, but I do suffer from slow digestion due to prescriptions I have to take. I had to do the prep twice because my colon wasn't clean enough on the first try. When I have to do it again I will have a liquid diet for 48 hours before I fast. And the liquid diet will not include dairy or anything that digests slowly!
I decided that I would eat very little for the two days previous to my colonoscopy; frankly the day before my colonoscopy I had no control of all the liquid my body was spewing out; I had a previous colonoscopy 20 years before and did not get this uncomfortable; I suppose it was just gastric juices rather than food that was in my system; I did have one very small polp; supposeably I need to return in 7 years probably because they don't do colonoscopies after the age of 80 so they want to get it in; I'll decide when I get there; my mom never had a colonoscopy my dad did have colon cancer at age 72 and never no chemo just the surgery; he never returned for another colonoscopy before he passed 14 years later from MRSA.
I had several of those symptoms starting in my 30's but I didn't have colon cancer..diagnosis was IBSS..I'm 73 and still no colon cancer although I did have breat cancer in my 40's...When I turned 50 I had my first screening colonoscopy and have done very 10 years since.
We need some videos on “how” to tell your physician that you need a colonoscopy. Essentially, what do you need to say to get your doctor to recommend a colonoscopy and to ensure it is covered by your insurance?
If you have irritable bowel symptoms and bright red blood when you have bowel movements: Use caution if the doctor/nurse practitioner simply dismisses this as bleeding hemorrhoids. In my case it was rectal cancer and years later another nurse practitioner became alarmed and ordered a colonoscopy. Stage 3B rectal cancer. Had that original doctor properly diagnosed it then it would have been far smaller and easier to treat. Now I have life-long disabilities from the surgeries/chemo especially mental health impact. Be your own advocate. Don't let them be lazy. I also regret not trying extended fasting or other natural methods before jumping right to traditional treatment. Like used car salesmen, surgeons and doctors have a way of pressuring you to act fast without time to think or ponder what you should do.
That's terrible. Try to Stay positive and try not to dwell negatively on what happened you. You have no control over the past, but you can choose to do your best everyday. Sending you positivity and Wishing you well 🙏
My lovely father passed away from colon cancer a few weeks ago. It was very unexpected as he was weight lifter all his life and was only 44 years old. After a 3 year battle the doctor's were unable to control the spread of the cancer and he lost his battle. We tried chemo and natural remedies but they were all unsuccessful.
Very informative. Absolutely get that colonoscopy done by 50 or BEFORE. I was 58 and had a classic sigmoid tumor. Thankfully it was stage 1. Had to have a colon resection, but I have been clear ever since. My hypothesis is that I had previously had a prolapsed uterus onto my bowel which caused constipation and allowed toxins to influence that area more. Interesting about the sugar and insulin part also. I’m keto now and do intermittent fasting. My children now have to have their 1st colonoscopy at 35. I should have been more proactive because my grandmother passed away with colon cancer. Great video
My great aunt died of colon cancer. My mom survived it. Two colonosopies ago they took out three pre cancerous polyps from me. I now drink prune juice every two or three days. I eat only a little protein and do eat a lot of vegetables and fruits. I also stay away from Monsanto products and try to stick with organic products. My doctor says to continue what I'm doing
Please be careful with the false security of "organic" marketing gimmicks. I'm a trucker and used to haul produce. One time I was loading tomatoes 🍅 in Nogales AZ headed back to Denver. The dock boss was pointing to cases of fresh tomatoes, directing which truck got what shipment. He had this big roll of organic labels, he pointed to a truck hautling whole foods market food and started labeling those cases as "organic" Another truck was going to Safeway and no organic labels were applied. All these tomatoes came from the same "USDA" regulated farm in Mexico, where the US Government has no authority over anything.
@@SOPHIAFLYGIRL US Government having authority means virtually nothing. Our EPA is a failure of epic proportions. I am willing to bet tomatoes grown in Mexico are healthier than those grown in the USA.
I had to do hernia surgery in 2019 and I did an endoscopy and colonoscopy before hand because of discomfort I was having. Staff questioned my reason for asking for one because I’m “too young” but I insisted. THANK GOD nothing was found but they tried to talk me out of it. MEN let this be an eye opener get checked out regardless. We are nothing if not our health. I post some work outs on yt also, I’m sure diet and a good fitness routine lowers the risk. Stay healthy bros.
my Mom died of Colon Cancer at age 54 back in 2008. my grandpa died of the same disease in his 50’s as well. I’ve had three colonoscopies, i get one every 5 years. I refuse to die from this.
I had a small spot of blood on the toilet tissue one morning, nothing the next two mornings, then it returned on the third morning. After that second spot of blood nothing showed again. Apart from the spots I had no other signs that I could recall. I contacted my doctors practice and practice nurse got me to do a FIT test, that returned abnormal results. Did another with same outcome. Colonoscopy confirmed cancer in the sigmoid area. The removal of the tumour took 7½ hours and surgeon told me the it was nearly stage 4. I was 64 years old, had returned bowel screening tests aged 60 and 62 and was due another test within 6 months. It's been 18 months since my op and if I'd have ignored the small spots of blood I wouldn't be typing this now. The moral of this story.........check out anything abnormal, however small.
Don't forget stomach pain as a possible symptom. I had a large obstruction removed at the very end of my small intestine. 7 cm long and protruding into my ascending colon. I never had any pain or even mild discomfort down there but I did have very sharp stomach aches. Right up to the highest level where the body just shuts down from sensory overload. I got diagnosed with h. Pylori first which was resolved only after three strong antibiotic cocktails. But the pain remained until finally at the hospital they decided to put me in a CT scanner. Couple hours later I had emergency surgery. 30 cm of intestine and a large obstruction were removed. My symptoms disappeared overnight. I was back on solid food the second day after surgery. And boy did I eat. I had lost 24 kg in 8 months. And I was very lucky as the mass turned out to be a totally benign polyp only. No further treatment necessary other than a few more checkups. Stomach pain can mean trouble much further down the line. Always have them check everything. Don't focus on just your stomach even when it feels as if that must be it. Don't just do a gastroscopy like I did but get a colonoscopy as well. Get the whole package. 😉 If you do end up with colon cancer get treatment where they do whole genome sequencing. Usually that's at a cancer research institution. Then they check for all the mutations in the tumor (they compare with healthy non cancerous blood cells) and they can give you very specific cutting edge treatment. I wad lucky enough to not need it but if you do this can be a life saver.
My GI doctor said Fecal Occult should not be considered first. Rather a Colonoscopy should always be prioritized because Fecal Occult only detects blood in the stool and by that time it is usually too late.
You mean if you have any symptoms? Otherwise, If you have no symptoms then Fecal Occult is absolutely the correct thing to do, because almost nobody would like a Colonoscopy if they have zero problems (so the end result is no diagnostic at all). Polyps (when it is pre-cancer) can microscopically bleed too, but usually does not show any symptoms at all.
@@adamrak7560 plus colonoscopy have risks so won’t always be the first thing suggested. Such as tearing during the procedures which would result in major surgery to seal it up
Bad genes can be triggered by a poor life style or surpressed by a healthy life style. Paternal grandfather and father both had colon and prostate cancer and died of heart disease. In my senior years I have contracted neither. A completely plant based diet and moderate exercise can make for not just a long life but a long quality of life. Great video. Symptoms and causes very well explained. Thank you.
How can you be happy living off of strictly plants? I eat extremely healthy but I don't punish myself by not eating animal products. I am on keto and 46. I am more healthy now than I've ever been. I wish I knew about this diet in my early 30s. It's truly a miracle.
Another superb video. The quality of the materials on your site is truly outstanding. Thanks very much for doing all this. I hope it brings you the rewards you deserve.
Aged 51 at the time stage 4 bowel cancer , r/h hemicolectomy carried out. 6 months, 8 treatments of chemotherapy, still here 6 yrs later. Chemo made more damage and left a legacy of aches and peripheral neuropathy. I'd never have chemo again I'd take my chances if big C ever returns . Watch out for the warning signs because by then it's too late 😕😟☹
@@area859 I started by noticing at first a dull abdomen ache which gradually over a couple of weeks got slowly worse. I always had slightly irregular bowel movements, loose one day solid the next but then started noticing it got harder to 'go' . I started to become EXTREMELY fatigued and couldn't raise the energy to even walk 20 yrds. This tiredness wasn't normal and I knew then something wasn't right. I then started to notice when I did go it got painful 'pushing' and I felt a bit light headed after I'd been. My stools became very dark coloured almost black and lots of it. At this stage the pain became pretty unbearable and I couldn't do ANYTHING to ease it, painkillers didn't touch it ANY position I put myself in it still hurt and then became incapacitating. Then I though time to go see doctor. She felt my abdomen took my blood pressure, asked about my toilet routine and about my general feeling of health. After she examined me she looked worried and immediately referred me to hospital (Immediately !) No passing go or anything ! I was examined bloods were taken and tested. CT scans were taken and after 24 hrs in hospital was given bad news Stage 4 bowel cancer ! 😞☹ The surgeon came to see me and told me they were going to operate asap to see the extent of size and growth towards any other tissue etc. I was operated on (a r/h hemicolectomy and 6 lymph nodes and surrounding tissues taken away. Then told on waking I would need 8 treatments, 6 months of chemotherapy with oxiplati intravenously, and capacetabine orally 8 treatments. I hated it and couldn't manage any more than 4 intravenous treatments as I felt it was killing me. Couldn't feel my feet, hands or inside my mouth, tinnitus very bad , headaches, sickness and nausea after treatments but didn't lose any hair. Couldn't eat with feeling sick and couldn't taste anything. All I can say is if you suspect get checked asap, it may save your life like it did with me 👍😉❤
just lost my 40 yr. adult son to colon/liver cancer, a few weeks ago. He was diagnosed over five years ago, with 4th stage colon cancer. lots of chemos, operations, etc. but, he suffered alot. He was a real carnivore, and ate real junk when he moved out of home. when he lived me I fed him ' clean" and thought that would " cure " him. I am 73 and the loss of him is devastating. I can't help but, notice how many young people are getting this.
@@tomking940 yes, this has definitely put me through the " wringer".... nothing makes this easy for someone to go through. He was a very good and sensitive man. I wish he could have a longer and happier life. His mom,Ellie
All these signs and symptoms with the exception of bloody stools match my situation exactly. But its been like that for ten years, starting around 25 years old.
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Yes, dr.porassss. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
I listened to a podcast with Kris Carr recently, her advice was great. I think if you respect your body, it will respect you. Try to be positive, even through stress. We definitely can’t live stress free, I think that’s impossible, best thing to do is get rid of as much unnecessary stress as possible. There are blood test tumor markers you can do, and I think that’s smart to do…but at the end of the day, spend time understanding your body and listen to it!
This was highly informative. Thanks for covering the “why’s” and not just listing the causatives with no explanation. I’ve been pretty clued in to colorectal cancer research lately because of some symptoms I’ve been experiencing (no gastro dr visit til November..). I have family that follow the carnivore diet and it really worries me 😕
Thank you Dr Hansen. This is a very good video. We Canadian's government has recommended after age 50 to doing FIT (fecal immunochemical test) for colon cancer check.
Having some of these symptoms at a young age will get you nowhere in primary care. I have a change in bowel habits, tenesmus, maybe blood in stool one time (months ago hasn't occured since), and a moderate family history of colon cancer. I'm 33 and healthy, and was told I don't qualify for a colonoscopy unless I pay for it entirely out of pocket.
My father-in-law, unbeknownst to us, began exhibiting several of these symptoms. He was a stubborn old cuss, too. We noticed a steep decline in his body mass (unexplained weight loss), which he insisted was due to a change in his diet, cutting out sugars, eating more veg, etc. We lived 1,200 miles away, and our visits were sporadic, so we couldn’t help but notice a dramatic change. Our son moved in with his grandparents, in order to establish himself with a new job in that city and puddle up money for an apartment. He began sharing tidbits of information with us, such as grandpa using the toilet every 45 minutes - even through the night! He’d spend 15 minutes in the bathroom, too. Our son noticed grandpa had a supply of hemorrhoidal wipes to clean up with. Gramps insisted he had hemorrhoids. Our son reported having to clean the bathroom EVERY morning before he went to work, and EVERY evening when he returned, as there was a carnage of bright red blood and fecal matter splattered throughout the toilet, on the underside of the seat, dripped on the floor, and smeared on the faucet and in the sink. What the hell?! Didn’t grandma know what was happening? Nope, it wasn’t happening in the master bathroom, so he kept her oblivious to what was taking place in the main bathroom. We instructed our son on how to approach grandpa about getting checked out by a doctor. “Nope, don’t need a doctor poking around my privates.” They had the best health insurance, had $1 million in the bank, yet wouldn’t spend money for a health check-up. He died about a year later. Cause of death: Cardiogenic shock! Yeah, he essentially ran out of blood, causing his brain to shut off, resulting in his heart stopping. No autopsy was performed; however, the emergency room physician suspected advance colon cancer OR possibly prostate cancer that advanced into his abdomen and penetrated his colon. He was going with the former. After his funeral, grandma revealed that he suspected colon cancer, but he decided he wasn’t going to be one of those guys who had to deal with an ostomy bag. She regretted not getting him help, as she was absolutely lost without him. He could have lived another 20 to 25 years if this cancer was treated much earlier. BTW - those hemorrhoidal wipes DO NOT biodegrade!! They jam up the sewer line like crazy. My son reported that Roto-Rooter was at their house about every 8 weeks.
I’m sorry to hear that story especially since sometimes ostomy bag is only until healing gets started. But having a Dad from that age group there’s no swaying someone that’s mind is made up.
@@Jen39x Interestingly, as we cleared out their house after my mother-in-law died, we came across a letter, written by my father-in-law’s sister’s husband. He’d written how, a couple of decades earlier, he’d had a large portion of his colon removed, necessitating the use of an ostomy bag. He wrote that he was able to enjoy his retirement years with his wife and grandkids, go on cruises, dance (he & his wife used to be competitive roller-skating dancers), pretty much do anything. He discussed the types of bags, keeping the site clean, disposing of the contents, any nutritional needs, etc. My FIL just couldn’t bring himself to get his suspicions confirmed. They used to travel, go on 3 to 5 cruises a year, go to Las Vegas, visit relatives on the East coast. Sadly, their activities and lives got smaller and restricted as he became a slave to the toilet. When he died, she was absolutely lost, after a lifetime of him telling her what to do and how to do it.
I just want to help really, please read me it could save soo many lives, or at least give more time: Guy TENENBAUM's case about cancer stage 4 and his protocol (he didn't use chemotherapy or radiotherapy): - a low-carb diet outside the fasting period (total elimination of carbohydrates/sugars) and eating OMAD (One Meal A Day) crucifers, garlic, onions, avocados, walnuts/almonds, olive oil and oily fish to avoid losing too much weight (avoid meat and cheese) - taking specific food supplements that Guy TENENBAUM has called TCC (The Cancer Cure) which correspond to his 5 essentials, with the dosage he took: * High-dose melatonin 30 mgr before going to bed (Phycocyanine or Lithotamne, but the most powerful would be melatonin): inhibition of SCOT (to use pure phycocyanine and lithotamne to increase the volume of SCOT inhibitors in addition to melatonin) * Allicin (either as a 2400 mg quality concentrated pill, or with crushed raw garlic): up/down stream of SCOT * Matcha green tea (with turmeric and ginger): up/down stream of SCOT * Metabolic treatment (metabloc): Alpha Lipoic Acid (or Sodium R Lipoate, 600mg 3 times a day, 1800mg in total) + Garcinia Cambodgia (Hydroxycitric Acid, 600mg 3 times a day, 1800mg in total) + CoQ10 (the transporter, 100mg morning noon evening) * Omega 3 in a DHA - EPA ratio (500mg DHA/200mg EPA): to fight keto paradox during ketogenic diet or the fasting phase * Bromelain (850mg to 5000 GDU) and Quercetin (500mg) for nodules * Berberine and Curcumin to block additional metabolic pathways - Alkalinise the body with a combination of baking soda and cider vinegar - if the body allows it: long fasting then the following month by short fasting and intermittent fasting + taking nutrients and minerals to avoid deficiencies (vitamin D3, Magnesium Bisglycinate and multivitamins) The protocol has been validated by 3 peer-reviewed scientific publications: 1) "Inhibition of SCOT and Ketolysis Decreases Tumor Growth and Inflammation in the Lewis Cancer Model" 2) "Cancer Metabolism: The fasting reset, the ketosis paradox and drugs for elimination" 3) "Unravelling cancer metabolism: Fasting reset, the ketogenic diet? and therapeutic strategies"
People love the *idea* of holistic approaches to healing, but there's a reason people aren't actually finding success with igrotum when they're sick enough to need chemo
Elaborating more on prevention and lifestyle choices would be good, or a followup video that focuses on prevention more than detection. Thanks for your info!
(51-year-old female on FMLA...waiting on STD). Had those symptoms early this year. Had my first colonoscopy this past July and diagnosed with stage 4 rectal cancer that had spread to my liver and abdomen in a short period of time. Currently, completed round 3 of chemo treatments and round 4 in about a week. Started a Go Fund Me page to help out my medical bills and other needs. As suggested in the comments, get checked to have a peace of mind. The colon prep (day before the colonoscopy) is a pain but the procedure not quite bad from my experience. Good informative video!!
I had a tempest test done and found out I have the marker from my father . He died at age 40, I'm 35 and already battling osteosarcoma, so very nervous. Focusing on eating healthy and staying active
Yeah, my doctor told me I had bowel cancer and I walked out and never looked back. Left all meds too. I am 68, I was told in 2015 I had breast and bowel cancer. I left. I am fine,
My sister was 22 when she started having symptoms. She kept going back and forth to the doctor but no one looked into it further. They just told her it was ibs, hemorrhoids, her diet, and the list goes on. Eventually she was in so much pain and couldn't hold food down, she had diarrhea with some bloody discharge, and decided she needed to go to the ER. The ER was no different from the doctor. They sent her home time and time again... It wasn't until she had gotten worse they decided to keep her in the hospital. Long story short the hospital she was in was awful and couldn't figure out what was wrong with her. She was sent out to a hospital in San Francisco and they immediately ran tests on her and found a cancerous tumor the size of an orange in her rectum. With some treatment and surgery they removed the remaining parts of the tumor and she was deemed cancer free. Unfortunately my sister is no longer here, she was only 23 when she passed.
This sounds similar to what someone shared in her video (sadly shes dead) where the doctors werent looking into, she ended up being diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer... :(
I have a lot of the symptoms mentioned in this video (Adominal cramps and pain, bowel changes, constipation, diarrhea). I went to see my doctor and they recommended I have a colonoscopy done asap.
I would do it ASAP I had all those symptoms for a few years until I got sick and couldn't move bowels I was diagnosed with near stage 4 Colon cancer ,I had surgery and 9 months of chemo and feel great now but need to get a yearly colonoscopy to see if all's good ,get a colonoscopy and don't put it off like I did
I had just turned 50 when I was diagnosed. Had been shittin' blood for a while so I was pretty sure I had it. A couple surgeries and a short dose of chemo and I'm 5 years clear. But the doctor said it takes upwards of 10 years for polyps to turn cancerous, meaning I'd had the formings of it growing for a quite some time. So don't put off the colonoscopy! On a good note, my diagnosis encouraged about a dozen of my friends to get their long overdue colonoscopy. One guy found Diverticulitis and everyone else was in yhe clear. But don't put it off!
All 4 things I've had all the... 23 years I've been menstruating. & always told doctors about. & they told me it was normal & to shutup, grow up, get used to it, stop complaining. 🥺 I guess "luckily" (?) for me it was mostly explained by finally getting someone to test my thyroid, & boom, hypothyroidism. Point being-- Oh, great, another thing it could've been that my doctors just didn't wanna care about. 😭
It's good to know the symtoms . My mother died from it 50 years ago . They had to open her up to find out what was wrong but it was too late , she passed away at 48 . I called my doc about abdominal pains , gas , etc, & requested a colonoscopy in November & I got an "consultation" with a specialist for March 15 . Lots of luck to those to get their scope in time before it's too late . I had my last one 6 years ago . Thanks to the covid shutdowns many lives have been lost & put in jeopardy .
@@smerchly Sorry to hear about your mom; my mom died at 61 with Ovarian cancer. She worked so hard her entire life, so wish she'd had time to enjoy her golden years.
@@dennishassler605 Thank you ! I am now nearly 80 and have lost many friends the past 2 years. My sister has lung cancer as well as her best friend , from smoking . Most people I know who died the last 5 years were smokers . I never smoked and don't understand why young people start the habit now . The warning is on the package (to protect against lawsuits) . I try to eat a balanced diet , eating good quality nuts ,oat cereals , yogurts ,etc. That may help stave off bowel cancer . We have so many additives in our foods that make it more complicted to deal with the causes of cancer. And our pets (dogs) are getting more cancers ...
I'm 40 years old, male, fit and active, not overweight at all. I have had abdominal cramps and pain on and off for over 2 years now, but has been worse in the more recent months. Severe burning/clawing sensation in the lower colon/rectal area below the navel that comes and goes. Usually it's worse at night and can keep me awake. At times, the pain is so severe that it feels maddening and causes trouble with concentrating, sometimes sending shivers/chills throughout my body because the lower colon hurts so much in waves of pain. Other times it isn't as bad. Some days it makes my lower back hurt. My symptoms first sent me to the ER with jitteriness, frequent urination, heart rate that fluctuates about 20 numbers up and back down again to whatever baseline sometimes 2-3 times per minute) and rapidly fluctuating blood pressure in 2019. At first I presented to the ER with 170/113 blood pressure. Nowadays, it has been anywhere from as low as 99/57 to more commonly less than 110/low to upper 60's on average. At first I got a POTS diagnosis, then dysautonomia/autonomic dysfunction. Showed my gastro doc a very swollen lower abdomen that looked like I was expecting a baby and he said, "WOW! That's some serious bloating!" Over the past year or two, I have had constipation issues with lots of burning pain in the lower colon. I have also had Gastritis for about 3 years. My gastro doc tried to treat it in 2020 with about 6 months of 40mg Prilosec twice daily. Didn't help it. He put me back on it and I'm still not getting much relief from it. Upper Endoscopy/EGD with biopsies showed no H Pylori or cancer. The stomach lining was just really red and inflamed. I took a FIT test and I'm waiting on the results. I've been lightheaded for 3-4 year snow on and off, have seen primary care doctors, neurologists, endocrinology, gastroenterology, had a few ER trips, etc. Full-body malaise, poor sleep, sensation of incomplete bowel movement, low energy and fatigue, etc. My gastro doc documented a severely inflamed colon and Gastritis for my recent paperwork. CBC, with DIFF/PLT, Thyroid with TSH, and Comprehensive Metabolic Panel show nothing on blood work. I have been awaiting Social Security Disability seeking payment back to February 2021 after injuring my back and my symptoms got even worse, but I don't think they're related to the back injury (L4-5 disc). I get lightheaded 24/7 with these quick 'jolts' of lightheadedness when moving sometimes just one arm or leg a slight distance. I also get lightheaded and rarely vertigo while lying down at night go to sleep. As my heart rate slows as I get more sleepy, I sometimes get room spinning vertigo and feel like I'm on a hammock that two people have at each end and are swinging and spinning me around. Orthostatic hypotension. I have gotten lots of canker sores in various areas of my mouth, gums, tongue, lips, etc., since I was a kid. Realistically, what should be suspected at this point given the above symptoms? Crohn's? Colitis? Diverticulitis? It's hard enough coming up with the money for the specialist appointment as a self-pay with no insurance or employment. I can't work because of my symptoms. Colonoscopy is nearly $1,400 out of pocket. I'm over $30K behind in Disability back payments, having not worked since February 2021 due to my injury. Obviously, I can't afford the colonoscopy. Should I be worried?
Going through the process is hard. Especially when you are always having problems. You will need a diagnosis when you go for a hearing or in the disability process. Go fund me may help. You may be able to find a clinic that has drs that help with pro bono health work. It doesn’t hurt to ask. I don’t think you have much of a choice. God be with you.
Please get an allergy test. Also, do not eat any food with dyes in it. Especially red#40. See if your gastritis decreases. Don't drink ginger ale for the pain. Try ginger tea. The caramel food coloring in the soda is also a culprit.
" Nobody knows why colorectal cancer numbers are rising in young people ." ...yes we know ... is the food you get from the supermarket or from the fast food ... all those additives and all the stuff they put in . all of that is the cause. and is by design , not by chance . a society dedicated to profit , not to people .
My dad passed from colon cancer at 69, I ended up having colon cancer at 50 they did a left hemicolectomy on me and I have always been very healthy eater , vegan gluten free because I had problems with my stomach since I was 6 years old and was a picky eater drove my mom nuts how skinny I was, I also have Lupus and my gallbladder was removed prior to the cancer diagnosis.Unfortunately I am getting the same symptoms back and I will not go through that surgery again I had a very bad experience.
@@claudiamarianidamato9499 yes I sure have. I am the healthiest eater you will find and I do a lot of research unfortunately, I believe it family genetics.

I am in the medical field and have great doctors.
@@MelburkyAnder Vegan diet isn't as healthy as it seems. We aren't cows, humans are omnivores and Vegan diet is just not suitable for humans, we don't have 4 stomachs to get all the nutrients from plants
@@noelle788 My doctor is the one that suggested a vegan diet and you would be surprised what you can eat and I am much healthier than I have ever been and that plus the fact I have Lupus and kidney failure, it changed my life so many foods cause inflammation.

I got Crohn's at 13 after being isolated by abusive parents and I'm disabled from not having love in my life. I had a terrible mental breakdown that I'll never recover from after learning that I'll never find anyone I'd want because I am weak and hopeless and don't go outside. We deserve love too even though we just sleep in bed all our lives.
I was 47 and was not taken seriously, being dismissed as IBS as I was too young. I had all of these symptoms. Anyway, finally they listened to my complaints that something was wrong. I have haemochromotosis but was anaemic. I am not a smoker or drinker, I was marginally over normal BMI but had a high carb diet. I didnt eat a lot of meats, but I do now. 2 and a half years on and I am not the man I was, but I am alive, which wasn't a certainty before surgery.
I went to the doctor this week for occasional pink color (bleeding?) and was upset to learn that i need to wait a week for the insurance to approve me and then another who knows how long for an appointment with a GI doctor and then finally after that get a colonoscopy. I got to the doctor as soon as i noticed this odd symptom, but i feel like they don't take it that seriously.
One of the best videos I have seen on this subject. Thank you very much. question. Does nitrates and beats? The same thing as nitrates and meats? Does nitrates and beets cause. Or help promote colon cancer, like. Nitrates say in bacon/ I never hear this talked about or mentioned in contrast.. Thank you.
Thanks, my sister died from it at age 30! It was too late for her after discovery...Doctor thought she was too young and gave her medicine first....that was over 30 years ago... Don't fool around ....listen to this doctor and get checked

Both of my grandmothers lived until 93 years old and drove a car up until 90. My one grandmother ate healthy, took vitamins and walked a ton daily. My other grandmother smoked half of her life, never exercised or walked a lot but stayed active, she ate every bad for you can think of and ate tons of sugary foods and candy every day, however, she ate in moderation and small meals. Both lived to 93 years old and both got dementia the last couple years of their life. Meanwhile, Steve Jobs, a vegetarian for most of his life, died of cancer at 56. Robin Gibb, a long time vegan, died of cancer at 62. Just eat in moderation, stay active, be happy and enjoy today. Nobody is promised tomorrow no matter what you do.
Steve Jobs EMF exposure was astronomical. CA has an emotional component.
Yeah, vegan diets are nutrient deficient and genetics is also a factor in longevity.

I had ALL these symptoms. These colon videos made me freak out thinking I had cancer. Ended up only having hemorrhoids and diverticulitis. Not saying you shouldn’t get checked out but don’t always assume the worst!
Yeah colon cancer is pretty rare actually even among people who drink smoke and eat terribly. Less than 10 percent of these people will get it
They must be making money off the chemo
It's best to always assume the worst, cause that will get you out of the couch and get tested.
@@Druze_Tito but what if the test is a blanket test that makes everyone get chemo even if they don’t need it

Don’t ever be put off by doctors saying you’re too young for colon cancer. If you think you are not ok be persistent. My daughter died aged 21 due to this awful disease. Her doctor told us that she never really considered it in someone so young.
Wow that's tragic
So sorry for your lost 💔, please take care.
So sorry to hear that 😢
May she rest in peace 🙏 🕊
Sorry to hear , but which side you daughter had colon cancer left or right 😢
Sorry for your loss. That is terrible.
I noticed my husband was visiting the bathroom more often than usual so after about a month I asked him about it; he said he felt the need to go more often but wasnt passing anything except orange mucus. I insisted he visit the doctor, who referred him for an emergency colonoscopy a few days later. They found a small rectal tumour which was successfully removed about a week later, he didnt need chemo because it had been caught so early.
That was 10 years ago and he is still 100% cancer free. I am so glad I pestered him to find out what was going on and made him see the doctor, it literally saved his life.

The fact that nobody talks about censored book called The 23 Former Doctor Truths by Lauren Clark really gets to me. Always loved people like Lauren, they open our eyes
REMEMBER: it can be many other things than cancer (IBS, Celiac Disease ) - I had ALL of these symptoms and had a full colonoscopy done and they found nothing.

My mother had metastatic colon cancer and died in April, age 80
My hubby was 7 years overdue but he got sick of sepsis due to a liver abscess, so his dr ordered colonoscopy and so he had stage 1 sigmoid CRC, he had that removed and hoping for complete remission. He gets to be checked every year now. Thanks for your continued education
Detecting a stage 1 is rare since there are no symptoms. The prognosis for stage 1 is excellent.
Sometimes a disease can save you life.
So he had colon cancer for 7 years?
I had all these symptoms and got referred for 2 colonoscopy and then eventually an endoscopy and they found I had small benign tumours in my bowel and then the 1 inch ulcer in my stomach. I wondered why I had to turn over every half hour at night trying to sleep because it felt like my blood was pooling on one side. I was severely enemic and when I got operated on and fixed I could sleep normal instantly for 3 hrs easily without turning over. I think I was really an extreme case.

Had my stern pipe checked at 50 with a colonoscopy as part of my check-up. I asked the doctor to completely knock me out, so I woke up afterward with no memory of the procedure. They found three precancerous polyps that they removed. I'm 52 now and just completed my mail-in Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT), which is free in Canada, easy to do at home, and I'm glad to report that the report came back clear.
I’m confused why they’d do a FIT rather than a colonoscopy, especially considering you have a history of polyps. I’d insist on a colonoscopy
@@strnglhld Excatly cuz isnt that kinda backwards smh
I asked not to be knocked out.
The doctor said OK now I am inserting the scope, But both his hands were on my shoulders .....
@@FC-qe1wl😂
Thats terribly risky. They are looking for blood in your stool and you could miss it because your sample is not adequate.
I’m 47 and ironically, had a colonoscopy on Monday. I have no symptoms, but just was doing it for screening purposes. I had the doctor keep me awake so I can see the whole process and to be honest it wasn’t that bad, and it was pretty relieving to know that everything is fine.
I had it done recently and got the all clear but have since read that small developing tumors are commonly missed. Point being, we can't let down our guard.
Doctors do a better job when you are under anesthesia as most patients wont tolerate the procedure well without being under. A recent study confirmed this where Europeans had less effective scopes since they don't use anesthesia.
MrCalifornia. Did they test your stool for blood first ? Straight to colonoscopy
The worse part in the prep for it
BS
My late wife was 39 (13 yrs ago) when she had low iron and all her doctor did was prescribe iron tablets, bc she was a young, menstruating woman (which made her feel artificially better) and blood tests, 2 times. The tests found nothing. 12-18 months later, she started vomiting late at night, but it was only after a late meal out and not often. These were only symptoms and didn't present together until too late.
Eventually, the tiredness returned and new doctor referred her for endoscopy and colonoscopy, the latter detected a large tumour and she had stage 4 colorectal cancer. Sadly she died 2 yrs later after chemotherapy and surgery.
Don't let your GP fob you off with tablets if you're suddenly getting sick (iron deficiency) which you never had before. Insist on further investigation.
Yikes, that’s what’s happening to me right now. Struggling with iron and tired all the time. Sensitive to gluten and feeling pain on my right side if I eat anything with gluten.
@millieristic hi I'm having same symptoms but also having constapation...pray for me please 🙏
Hi I wanted to say I'm saden by ur loss and hope this message u sent helps other to keep going and not give up ...thank you
My mother died from that.
She didn't take any treatment and died peacefully in her sleep after being ill for a few days. She was 80
🙏 sorry for your loss
Just found out one of coworkers that was in his early 50s passed away from colon cancer 😥I'm devastated. He was a wonderful man and a good father. I believe diet played a huge part in his diagnosis. RIP RAY🙏🏿

Wish ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s was mentioned in here (maybe it’s been discussed in another video). My mother and I had EVERY ONE of these symptoms…bleeding (at times so much that the entire toilet water turned red and mixed with mucus), urgency but always still feeling like you have to go again, abdominal pain, etc. We were misdiagnosed for over 15 years. Mother’s finally turned to cancer. She passed away 2 yrs later. I choose to undergo surgery to remove everything and got a Barnett Continent Intestinal Reservoir back in 1994. The thing is that people can save their lives if they’ll just get it checked out if symptoms continue for more than a couple of weeks.
What did they diagnose her all those years?
Nope, Drs are dismissive, especially with females so going to get checked out often does nothing but lead to death for many, especially young women.
Just lost a friend to colon cancer 36. He had Crohns or UC or both, he had just gotten married the month before he died.😢
My Aunt passed from colorectal cancer. My Mom has stage 3b in the sigmoid. She felt awful and was very constipated. Immediate colonoscopy diagnosed it, then immediate surgery. They got it all and had preventative chemo. Was cancer free

How old your mom ?
Thanks for all this information, I’m 53 yo male. I had a cologaurd test like 2 years ago and tested negative but for the last 6mo at least ,I’ve been getting all these symptoms mentioned in the video ,minus the blood in the stool. I’ve sort of mentioned to my General Doctor/Primary care, he’s thinking it might me some of the meds I take causing IBS. Now after seeing this I am thinking about going to a Gastroenterologist and finding out exactly what’s going on, watching this video opened my eyes t how serious this is and don’t want to take a chance with this, it really scares me.
How did it go?
Many of the symptoms you mentioned in the beginning are also some of the many symptoms (bowel changes, constipation and diarrhea, anemia, bloating and more), of Celiac Disease. Also eating certain foods like blueberries and beets, can change the look of the stool by making them black and have a different consistency or make it look like you have blood in your stool.
If you have symptoms like the doctor mentioned and you get tested negative for cancer, make sure you push your doc to find out the cause. Celiac is deadly too.
Also, even if you never smoke, drink, or eat processed foods, does not make you immune to disease.
Very true. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) symptoms can also mimic colon cancer symptoms. It's good to have a chat with your doctor if you have symptoms that are causing concerns.
@@charmc4152 Yes, exactly! IBS, Chrones, and more. It's been my experience that most docs will not investigate much. Unfortunately it is up to us to tell the doc what tests we want/need. It took me 55 yrs to get a Celiac diagnosis and when my son went to get tested, he told him he didn't have symptoms, which was bs. My guess is since there is no drug money involved in helping people with CD, they don't want to test.
@@charmc4152 I never knew I had IBS because I never have diarrhea. Turns out you can still have it with constipation. I wish that was made clearer as they seem to focus on diarrhea with IBS.
@@charmc4152 For me IBS is a reaction to wheat allergy or intolerance. Give up wheat and grains for ten days and see what happens. You can get fibre from vegetables etc.
Celiac is not a fatal condition.
Worst part is that some symptoms are the same as ibs. So you either have colon cancer and you are ignoring it or you have ibs and you are constantly with anxiety thinking you are going to die making ibs worse. Its terrible.
I just found out last week that a former boss and good friend of mine died of colon cancer. He was only 66. Thanks for the information and good video.👍🏾🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I cut out all animal protein and refined products. Also chlorinated water and avoided any chemicals wherever possible.
Exercise at least twice a day .morning and night to drain lymph system. A 15 min. walk swinging your arms is ideal.
Diet must be high in fat and fresh raw oils. Polly unsaturated oils should never be heated.

I learned the truth before i was that far gone.
My choice was to refuse all medical treatments.
It worked for me and many others.
I have been following a young lady named Tiffany (Tiffany Thinks on YT) for over a year now. She was diagnosed with advanced colon cancer at age 29. She has surgery this month to remove many organs & cancer. She's an optometrist in the UK. She started having blood in her stool over a year & half ago. Excruciating abdominal & back pain. Tiffany lost a lot of weight. 20 lbs . She is 95 lbs now. She also was diagnosed with an iron deficiency+ anemia & felt weak years prior..
How did I not know she is an optometrist? She is adorably sweet; takes after her mother. I think her biggest strength is her huge loving family. She just needs to quit feeling so obligated to her followers, especially after midnight, when she needs rest the most, after a very long and draining day.
I follow her too. Absolutely heartbreaking. She's so strong despite it all💙
I had colon cancer at age 32. Treated it 100% natural.
I am now healthy and 75. No doctors or drugs since 1979.
I so love Tiffany. I watched her before she got cancer. She is such a beautiful soul.

Currently I'm binge watching doctors telling you about warning signs and right now I'm paranoid I might have diabetes, cancer, colon cancer, dementia, insomnia ...etc.
I love putting myself into a stressful situation
Given the toxicity of the food supply, this video is recommended. I had diagnosed colorectal cancer in 2005, with a surgical solution of removal of the whole colon. My diet pre-surgery was what was considered normal. Nowadays diet is special.
Such good information thank you! My heart broke on 3/25/2020, our 39 year old daughter Lauren died of Sigmoid colon cancer, diagnosed 3/1/2020 😪 The doctors said she was constipated and she must take Miralax - even though she was very distended and looked about 7 months pregnant, from Ascites fluid build up. Spread to liver and lungs 😪A CAT scan found the cancer, we were devastated. Her two sons apparently need colonoscopy at 25. It’s no longer a disease for old people. If parents have polyps, their young adult children should have a colonoscopy.
I had a friend who passed away from colon cancer. What an insidious disease. 😭Please do a video on the difference between a colonoscopy and a sigmoidoscopy and how to determine which is appropriate. Thx for sharing! 👍🏽
Especially how easily avoidable if know how.
@@anaibarangan4908 Not staying up all night on the toilet in pain with cramps from the prep. No thanks.
@@TheAerovons My insurance company is giving out free “pre tests”. Not quite as unpleasant as the colonoscopy prep, but you do have to send a piece of poo through the USPS. Then they will check to see if you can go longer without a colonoscopy. If it shows blood or possible precancerous signs, they will recommend the colonoscopy, which is, at that point, highly encouraged.
@@TheAerovons my doctor said there’s an easier pill form prep for colonoscopy so it’s much easier. I figure taking that prep and having a colonoscopy is a lot easier than having cancer and needing chemo, radiation and worse
@@proudrosemom I've heard horror stories about the pill, they are up here on YT. Don't know if they are true, but they don't seem to be the norm. In any case, at age 71 the risks of perforation, and heart problems (I've had heart attacks) are much higher. These are fine for younger people than myself....

Don’t panic. Probably not cancer. Just go see your MD.
PPIs will screw up your digestion. You should get off them entirely.
I dont think its anything to panic or feel gloom over. But I would recommend scheduling an appointment.

I had colon cancer when i was 20 year old back in 2017😢. It was painful experience of my life.
Thanks so much *MR OBALAR* on RUclips for curing me from Herpes, keep saving lives.😊❤😊
Important to remember you can have rectal bleeding and abdominal pain and change in stools and it's still unlikely to be cancer, just in case anyone is freaking out with worry.
A hernia for example
Most likely IBS
I am still freaking out
Yeah I still worry about it. Had ibs for years now which is what doctor has written but on a bad flare up I still go to cancer in my head. I've been to doctors and had fit test and celiac test which was negative. If it was cancer it would have got worse by now I'd imagine but my stomach and bowels cause me pretty bad discomfort some days and of course ever since I searched cancer these videos come up all the time.
I have proctitis and bloody stools, but still nothing.
Your video on colon cancer hits close to home for me. I recently started a channel sharing educational content about colon cancer and the lessons I've learned along the way. Your content is inspiring, and I believe we can create a positive impact by sharing our stories.
everyone should listen to this. My husband died of Colon Cancer nearly four years ago.
Sorry to hear of that
What was happening to him blood stools and pain can you please explain
@@amritasingh6071 He claimed to have had no symptoms but I am not sure of that. He was brought into the hospital because of a heart attack. He received a stent and the cardiologist told me he was extremely anemic. "When was his last colonoscopy?," he asked. My husband was extremely overdue for a colonoscopy, unfortunately.
What were his symptoms?
@@annberrios9759 what was his age?
I was diagnosed when I was in my late thirties, approx 6 years back. I had secondaries stage 4 colon cancer in the descending area of bowel on the bend. I previously beat blood cancer (Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma) but unfortunately I relapsed after 10 months with Bowel Cancer. Unfortunately I also had a stricture too narrow for a full colonoscopy. This meant a section of bowel be removed and a colorectal resection. Chemo, and a stem cell transplant followed and I am now in complete remission. Please don’t ignore bowel movement changes, night sweats, severe abdominal pain straight after eating or the need to go to the bathroom asap when the pain starts. I also had weight loss and fatigue. Thank you NHS, you guys are amazing 👏🏽
Thanks so much *MR OBALAR* on RUclips for curing me from Herpes, keep saving lives.😊❤😊❤
Did u had loss of appetite, abdominal cramps , bloating?
@@BeautyandGlaaam I had weight loss yes, horrendous cramps and lower back pain with bloating/wind.
Hemorrhoids can cause blood and thin stools also
And that false sense of security in knowledge can kill you. This is why you should visit your doctor, who can test you and determine the true cause. Worst case scenario: he finds cancer much earlier than if you didn’t go to the doctor. Best case scenario: your tests rule out cancer and you are treated for the real cause of bleeding and loose stools…and you get a good night’s sleep knowing you do not have a malignancy.
But don’t just sit and hope everything is fine. Hope kills.
@@flxmkr My physician is ALMIGHTY GOD. He is my healer.
But wouldn’t hemorrhoids be pain in and around the hole and not inside the colon?
@@memyself4431 That could be rectal cancer, also.
me myself NOT necessarily...you can have inflamed hemorrhoids that don't actually hurt.
For people who are not aware, there are 3 main hot spots for colon cancer in the US: the Mississippi Delta, west-central Appalachia, and Hampton Roads, VA/NE North Carolina. If you live in any of these areas, take extra precautions to protect yourself. Some people say it is due to diet, but I imagine there are bad diets nationwide and I can't imagine that being the cause. I imagine it has something to do with watersheds.
I live in Hampton Roads, VA. My grandfather had colon cancer, and my mom had colon cancer. I have had 3 next door (including across the street) neighbors die of cancer, one of whom was in his 30s when he died. I have another neighbor currently who has terminal cancer. I'm not sure how many of these Virginia neighbors had colon cancer specifically, as that's not something you necessarily ask about, but I imagine 1-2 of these cases are related to the colon just based on the high frequency. My parents have a home in NE North Carolina, as well, and our next door neighbor out there had colon cancer. It's just big in this area.
Stay safe and healthy, everybody.
I live in NoVA. My best friend passed from colon cancer at 26 last year. This is crazy to know. Definitely looking more into this correlation
Wow we were going to move into that area soon. Probably still will but good to know we will just have to grow our own.
❤i stay near va beach, i agree with you. Good comment. Something in the water. Must be investigated
I watched Erin Brockovich last night. It’s Worth it for the community to try to get to the bottom of potential causes.
Maybe genetics plays a role as well?
Our food is being poisoned.
Exactly
@Gchang54 100% correct
@Gchang54 Or people who have the cancer gene are having kids and passing it on yes cancer can be random but when a person that has known cancer in their family keeps having generations of kids of course it is going to spread and seem like we have more cases of cancer. in the past family trees died of with cancer but now we have treatments and those cancer families are now having longer living family trees. Thus brining in more cancer cases not westernized food. Cancer has been around for thousand of years it just that most countries didn't know it was the thing killing people they just call it a sickness.
So are medications
Round up.
A lot of these symptoms are due to a lot of things. It doesn't only have to be colon cancer. My bowels change depending on what I eat which is a lot of vegetables, blue berries, etc.
This was one of the best and most concise and to the point videos about colon cancer I've ever seen thank you for this information I learned a lot
I absolutely agree.
I was diagnosed with stage 3c colon cancer two years ago last January. I had 8 lymph nodes involved. I had my second colonoscopy performed 4 years prior to my diagnose. The doctor missed a polyp in my cecum. I had surgery and 6 months of chemotherapy, at Duke Cancer Center. Had it not been for a PA at Duke, I would not be here now. Be very proactive with your health. And always stay positive and stay away from SUGAR!!
What does sugar do?
@@ElwynnForest feed cancer cells....
Same diagnosis 3c. Had a 3" tumor in the cecum. Lost 15" of Colan. ascending and a third of the transcending Colan with 8 lymphoids involved plus 3 blood vessels. Finished chemo in August. Had a tuff time with the port and bloodclots. Had my first fallow up colonoscopy yesterday. They removed another small polyp at the Sigmoid Colan. I went to one meal a day, really helped with my cholesterol, blood pressure, blood labs and mental focus.
100% sugar in any form other than what's found in natural fruits and vegetables is pure poison
@@joehighsmith2951how does having your colon removed feel? What is life after?
Cook cow feet and knee weekly, which is full of collagen. It creates a mucus kind of layer to stomach and intestine that brings healing. That helped my mom. All you need is a crockpot.
Love your videos. As an old Endoscopy nurse, I can't believe how people are still being diagnosed with colon cancers with all the screenings we have out there. "The prep." OK, yes it is not fun, but is cancer? Do the prep and get checked! So many people won't submit to a test that is fairly quick, and they make it painless. In fact you can wake up and it has already been done. Do "the prep" people and take the test.
This is ignorant, it's because Drs fob off our symptoms dear
My grandmother died from colon cancer. She suffered so much. She ate fresh not processed foods too. Please do the fecal stool test. It is so simple to do and can let you know if you have symptoms without getting a colonoscopy.
It's not that accurate. The test is only as good as the sample you take. You could miss the bloody part of your stool by 1 mm and get a false negative.
Had a good friend pass on from Colon cancer 2 years ago. When they found the cancer it had already spread to his lungs. He fought it for 2 years. I don’t like the idea of a colonoscopy but it’s worth it. RIP Matt we miss you
How old your friend ?
My grandmother lived until 98 years old. She ate bacon , sausage or ham every morning. Lunch was often salami, pepperoni, or some kind of lunch meat. Dinner was roast, pork chops, deer meat, chicken, duck. Or Turkey. She drank about two ounces of Kummel once a week. Otherwise she drank her own canned tomatoe juice, grape juice. Water or occasionally orange juice. She made pies and ate ice cream every evening. She weighed 140 pounds was 5' 8 . Her secret . She worked in garden, making rugs, feeding cattle, balling hay etc every day . And she didn't go to a doctor since she broke an arm in 1946. She died in her sleep. She ate what she wanted, drank what she wanted and I don't recall her ever being sick , coughing, etc she also didn't go around people outside of family. So her stress was low.
My grandma is 100. Her lifestyle and food were completely different than ours. I definitely need to reduce my sugar and processed food intake!
Some people's lives are truly remarkable in that regard! 🥰
I wish we all could live like that if we wanted to!
Same thing here…
Amazing
What works for some doesn't work for all. For many that would lead to an early grave but your grandmother was lucky, perhaps genetics.
More needed awareness , Dr Mike i appreciate good education on healthier life and better living 🙏
I can tell you from experience that a colonoscopy isn't that bad. I was only sedated the first time so I remember everything. You are draped, they lower the lights in the room and watch their TV screen. It's over with quickly. If you are under general anesthesia it's like no time has passed. And, the peace of mind once it's done is worth it.
I thought you _don’t_ remember anything if you’re sedated. I’ve been told it’s “twilight sleep” and you won’t remember anything.......

Twilight sleep 😴
Sedation 🥴
1 in 10000 people who colonoscopy die due to complications from procedure. 1 in 100000 die of colorectal cancer. So if everyone got colonoscopy, the death rate from colonoscopy would be higher than actually dying from colony cancer. It's not something you should be randomly going and doing without actual need for it. No doctor will suggest you randomly do it the first time you see some symptoms. Everything is first treated with less invasive treatments because 95% of the time it's not cancer. When there is no relief then it's colonoscopy time. it's not a perfect system but it beats the alternative of immediately doing colonoscopy and then raising deathrates among healthy patients
Two important people in my life have died due to colon cancer. One right after the other and in all honesty, I have been paranoid this last 10 years. I am turning 40 soon and have been thinking about getting checked. My fathers doctor said I should have gotten check at age 30 since colon cancer runs in the family.
Get checked. Im 38 with colon cancer

Another thing to consider is that you can get slow moving stool due to inactivity if you don't run or walk a lot your stool will move slower through through the bowels if you sit a lot as an example.
Also dehydration
I also had no symptoms. I was diagnosed with bowel cancer 10 days ago. On Tuesday, I go into hospital, to have more surgery. If you’re over 45 yrs, do a Bowel Test. In Australia, they’re free.

For those facing colonoscopies: the prep goes better if you cut back eating the day or so before. Not a good idea to schedule after a big feast!! Make up your mind that it’s not a terrible price to pay in return for knowing your cancer free.
I wish I had known that upfront. I didn't eat a feast, but I do suffer from slow digestion due to prescriptions I have to take. I had to do the prep twice because my colon wasn't clean enough on the first try. When I have to do it again I will have a liquid diet for 48 hours before I fast. And the liquid diet will not include dairy or anything that digests slowly!
I decided that I would eat very little for the two days previous to my colonoscopy; frankly the day before my colonoscopy I had no control of all the liquid my body was spewing out; I had a previous colonoscopy 20 years before and did not get this uncomfortable; I suppose it was just gastric juices rather than food that was in my system; I did have one very small polp; supposeably I need to return in 7 years probably because they don't do colonoscopies after the age of 80 so they want to get it in; I'll decide when I get there; my mom never had a colonoscopy my dad did have colon cancer at age 72 and never no chemo just the surgery; he never returned for another colonoscopy before he passed 14 years later from MRSA.
I had several of those symptoms starting in my 30's but I didn't have colon cancer..diagnosis was IBSS..I'm 73 and still no colon cancer although I did have breat cancer in my 40's...When I turned 50 I had my first screening colonoscopy and have done very 10 years since.
We need some videos on “how” to tell your physician that you need a colonoscopy. Essentially, what do you need to say to get your doctor to recommend a colonoscopy and to ensure it is covered by your insurance?
Thanks so much *MR OBALAR* on RUclips for curing me from Herpes, keep saving lives.😊❤😊
If you have irritable bowel symptoms and bright red blood when you have bowel movements: Use caution if the doctor/nurse practitioner simply dismisses this as bleeding hemorrhoids. In my case it was rectal cancer and years later another nurse practitioner became alarmed and ordered a colonoscopy. Stage 3B rectal cancer. Had that original doctor properly diagnosed it then it would have been far smaller and easier to treat. Now I have life-long disabilities from the surgeries/chemo especially mental health impact. Be your own advocate. Don't let them be lazy. I also regret not trying extended fasting or other natural methods before jumping right to traditional treatment. Like used car salesmen, surgeons and doctors have a way of pressuring you to act fast without time to think or ponder what you should do.
how did you detect bright red blood? only when wiping or it's so obvious in the toilet bowl?

Very informative. Absolutely get that colonoscopy done by 50 or BEFORE. I was 58 and had a classic sigmoid tumor. Thankfully it was stage 1. Had to have a colon resection, but I have been clear ever since. My hypothesis is that I had previously had a prolapsed uterus onto my bowel which caused constipation and allowed toxins to influence that area more. Interesting about the sugar and insulin part also. I’m keto now and do intermittent fasting. My children now have to have their 1st colonoscopy at 35. I should have been more proactive because my grandmother passed away with colon cancer. Great video

My great aunt died of colon cancer. My mom survived it. Two colonosopies ago they took out three pre cancerous polyps from me. I now drink prune juice every two or three days. I eat only a little protein and do eat a lot of vegetables and fruits. I also stay away from Monsanto products and try to stick with organic products. My doctor says to continue what I'm doing
Please be careful with the false security of "organic" marketing gimmicks. I'm a trucker and used to haul produce. One time I was loading tomatoes 🍅 in Nogales AZ headed back to Denver. The dock boss was pointing to cases of fresh tomatoes, directing which truck got what shipment. He had this big roll of organic labels, he pointed to a truck hautling whole foods market food and started labeling those cases as "organic"
Another truck was going to Safeway and no organic labels were applied. All these tomatoes came from the same "USDA" regulated farm in Mexico, where the US Government has no authority over anything.
@@SOPHIAFLYGIRL US Government having authority means virtually nothing. Our EPA is a failure of epic proportions. I am willing to bet tomatoes grown in Mexico are healthier than those grown in the USA.

I had to do hernia surgery in 2019 and I did an endoscopy and colonoscopy before hand because of discomfort I was having. Staff questioned my reason for asking for one because I’m “too young” but I insisted. THANK GOD nothing was found but they tried to talk me out of it. MEN let this be an eye opener get checked out regardless. We are nothing if not our health. I post some work outs on yt also, I’m sure diet and a good fitness routine lowers the risk. Stay healthy bros.
I am doing the cleanse right now. I can barely finish.
my Mom died of Colon Cancer at age 54 back in 2008. my grandpa died of the same disease in his 50’s as well. I’ve had three colonoscopies, i get one every 5 years. I refuse to die from this.
I had a small spot of blood on the toilet tissue one morning, nothing the next two mornings, then it returned on the third morning. After that second spot of blood nothing showed again. Apart from the spots I had no other signs that I could recall. I contacted my doctors practice and practice nurse got me to do a FIT test, that returned abnormal results. Did another with same outcome. Colonoscopy confirmed cancer in the sigmoid area. The removal of the tumour took 7½ hours and surgeon told me the it was nearly stage 4. I was 64 years old, had returned bowel screening tests aged 60 and 62 and was due another test within 6 months. It's been 18 months since my op and if I'd have ignored the small spots of blood I wouldn't be typing this now. The moral of this story.........check out anything abnormal, however small.
cook cow feet and knee weekly, which is full of collagen. That helped my mom.
Don't forget stomach pain as a possible symptom. I had a large obstruction removed at the very end of my small intestine. 7 cm long and protruding into my ascending colon. I never had any pain or even mild discomfort down there but I did have very sharp stomach aches. Right up to the highest level where the body just shuts down from sensory overload. I got diagnosed with h. Pylori first which was resolved only after three strong antibiotic cocktails. But the pain remained until finally at the hospital they decided to put me in a CT scanner. Couple hours later I had emergency surgery. 30 cm of intestine and a large obstruction were removed. My symptoms disappeared overnight. I was back on solid food the second day after surgery. And boy did I eat. I had lost 24 kg in 8 months. And I was very lucky as the mass turned out to be a totally benign polyp only. No further treatment necessary other than a few more checkups.
Stomach pain can mean trouble much further down the line. Always have them check everything. Don't focus on just your stomach even when it feels as if that must be it. Don't just do a gastroscopy like I did but get a colonoscopy as well. Get the whole package. 😉
If you do end up with colon cancer get treatment where they do whole genome sequencing. Usually that's at a cancer research institution. Then they check for all the mutations in the tumor (they compare with healthy non cancerous blood cells) and they can give you very specific cutting edge treatment. I wad lucky enough to not need it but if you do this can be a life saver.
Glad you are ok
My GI doctor said Fecal Occult should not be considered first. Rather a Colonoscopy should always be prioritized because Fecal Occult only detects blood in the stool and by that time it is usually too late.
You mean if you have any symptoms? Otherwise, If you have no symptoms then Fecal Occult is absolutely the correct thing to do, because almost nobody would like a Colonoscopy if they have zero problems (so the end result is no diagnostic at all).
Polyps (when it is pre-cancer) can microscopically bleed too, but usually does not show any symptoms at all.
@@adamrak7560 plus colonoscopy have risks so won’t always be the first thing suggested. Such as tearing during the procedures which would result in major surgery to seal it up
Bad genes can be triggered by a poor life style or surpressed by a healthy life style. Paternal grandfather and father both had colon and prostate cancer and died of heart disease. In my senior years I have contracted neither. A completely plant based diet and moderate exercise can make for not just a long life but a long quality of life. Great video. Symptoms and causes very well explained. Thank you.
How can you be happy living off of strictly plants?
I eat extremely healthy but I don't punish myself by not eating animal products. I am on keto and 46. I am more healthy now than I've ever been. I wish I knew about this diet in my early 30s. It's truly a miracle.
I went on a plant diet in 1979 and cured my cancer 100% natural!

Bull. I ran marathons on a plant diet.
Far more energy available from plant than from meat!!

@LichaelMewis hi what would you eat on keto diet ??
Another superb video. The quality of the materials on your site is truly outstanding. Thanks very much for doing all this. I hope it brings you the rewards you deserve.
Thank you Andrew
Aged 51 at the time stage 4 bowel cancer , r/h hemicolectomy carried out. 6 months, 8 treatments of chemotherapy, still here 6 yrs later. Chemo made more damage and left a legacy of aches and peripheral neuropathy.
I'd never have chemo again I'd take my chances if big C ever returns . Watch out for the warning signs because by then it's too late 😕😟☹
Glad you are doing well!
Glad you are ok...can you share what your early symptoms were?
@@area859 I started by noticing at first a dull abdomen ache which gradually over a couple of weeks got slowly worse. I always had slightly irregular bowel movements, loose one day solid the next but then started noticing it got harder to 'go' . I started to become EXTREMELY fatigued and couldn't raise the energy to even walk 20 yrds. This tiredness wasn't normal and I knew then something wasn't right. I then started to notice when I did go it got painful 'pushing' and I felt a bit light headed after I'd been. My stools became very dark coloured almost black and lots of it. At this stage the pain became pretty unbearable and I couldn't do ANYTHING to ease it, painkillers didn't touch it ANY position I put myself in it still hurt and then became incapacitating. Then I though time to go see doctor. She felt my abdomen took my blood pressure, asked about my toilet routine and about my general feeling of health. After she examined me she looked worried and immediately referred me to hospital (Immediately !) No passing go or anything ! I was examined bloods were taken and tested. CT scans were taken and after 24 hrs in hospital was given bad news Stage 4 bowel cancer ! 😞☹ The surgeon came to see me and told me they were going to operate asap to see the extent of size and growth towards any other tissue etc. I was operated on (a r/h hemicolectomy and 6 lymph nodes and surrounding tissues taken away.
Then told on waking I would need 8 treatments, 6 months of chemotherapy with oxiplati intravenously, and capacetabine orally 8 treatments. I hated it and couldn't manage any more than 4 intravenous treatments as I felt it was killing me.
Couldn't feel my feet, hands or inside my mouth, tinnitus very bad , headaches, sickness and nausea after treatments but didn't lose any hair. Couldn't eat with feeling sick and couldn't taste anything.
All I can say is if you suspect get checked asap, it may save your life like it did with me 👍😉❤
just lost my 40 yr. adult son to colon/liver cancer, a few weeks ago. He was diagnosed over five years ago, with 4th stage colon cancer. lots of chemos, operations, etc. but, he suffered alot. He was a real carnivore, and ate real junk when he moved out of home.
when he lived me I fed him ' clean" and thought that would " cure " him. I am 73 and the loss of him is devastating. I can't help but, notice how many young people are getting this.
Its already been proven that being carnivore does not cause colon cancer however junk food and process foods are definitely the cause.
I’m very sorry for the loss of your son. That must be very hard!😢
@@tomking940 yes, this has definitely put me through the " wringer".... nothing makes this easy for someone to go through. He was a very good and sensitive man. I wish he could have a longer and happier life. His mom,Ellie
Thanks so much *MR OBALAR* on RUclips for curing me from Herpes, keep saving lives.😊❤😊❤
All these signs and symptoms with the exception of bloody stools match my situation exactly. But its been like that for ten years, starting around 25 years old.
Did you figure out what it is? I have 3 bowel movements a day, no pain etc. But its like symptoms of IBS-D.
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Yes, dr.porassss. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place.
Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac.
He's constantly talking about killing someone.
He's violent. Anyone reading this
Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Yes he is dr.porassss.
Microdosing helped me get out of the pit of my worst depressive episode, a three year long episode, enough to start working on my mental health.
Can dr.porassss send to me in UK?
I listened to a podcast with Kris Carr recently, her advice was great. I think if you respect your body, it will respect you. Try to be positive, even through stress. We definitely can’t live stress free, I think that’s impossible, best thing to do is get rid of as much unnecessary stress as possible. There are blood test tumor markers you can do, and I think that’s smart to do…but at the end of the day, spend time understanding your body and listen to it!
This was highly informative. Thanks for covering the “why’s” and not just listing the causatives with no explanation. I’ve been pretty clued in to colorectal cancer research lately because of some symptoms I’ve been experiencing (no gastro dr visit til November..). I have family that follow the carnivore diet and it really worries me 😕
Thanks so much *MR OBALAR* on RUclips for curing me from Herpes, keep saving lives.😊❤😊❤
Thank you Dr Hansen. This is a very good video. We Canadian's government has recommended after age 50 to doing FIT (fecal immunochemical test) for colon cancer check.
Having some of these symptoms at a young age will get you nowhere in primary care. I have a change in bowel habits, tenesmus, maybe blood in stool one time (months ago hasn't occured since), and a moderate family history of colon cancer. I'm 33 and healthy, and was told I don't qualify for a colonoscopy unless I pay for it entirely out of pocket.
One year later, Now how are you?
@@thetwaiaung8662 These symptoms went away a few weeks later and I've been good every since.
Can’t believe I just stumbled on your channel.
What a clear and well put video. Very informative and to the point.
New sub!
My father-in-law, unbeknownst to us, began exhibiting several of these symptoms. He was a stubborn old cuss, too. We noticed a steep decline in his body mass (unexplained weight loss), which he insisted was due to a change in his diet, cutting out sugars, eating more veg, etc. We lived 1,200 miles away, and our visits were sporadic, so we couldn’t help but notice a dramatic change. Our son moved in with his grandparents, in order to establish himself with a new job in that city and puddle up money for an apartment. He began sharing tidbits of information with us, such as grandpa using the toilet every 45 minutes - even through the night! He’d spend 15 minutes in the bathroom, too. Our son noticed grandpa had a supply of hemorrhoidal wipes to clean up with. Gramps insisted he had hemorrhoids. Our son reported having to clean the bathroom EVERY morning before he went to work, and EVERY evening when he returned, as there was a carnage of bright red blood and fecal matter splattered throughout the toilet, on the underside of the seat, dripped on the floor, and smeared on the faucet and in the sink. What the hell?! Didn’t grandma know what was happening? Nope, it wasn’t happening in the master bathroom, so he kept her oblivious to what was taking place in the main bathroom. We instructed our son on how to approach grandpa about getting checked out by a doctor. “Nope, don’t need a doctor poking around my privates.”
They had the best health insurance, had $1 million in the bank, yet wouldn’t spend money for a health check-up. He died about a year later. Cause of death: Cardiogenic shock! Yeah, he essentially ran out of blood, causing his brain to shut off, resulting in his heart stopping. No autopsy was performed; however, the emergency room physician suspected advance colon cancer OR possibly prostate cancer that advanced into his abdomen and penetrated his colon. He was going with the former. After his funeral, grandma revealed that he suspected colon cancer, but he decided he wasn’t going to be one of those guys who had to deal with an ostomy bag. She regretted not getting him help, as she was absolutely lost without him. He could have lived another 20 to 25 years if this cancer was treated much earlier. BTW - those hemorrhoidal wipes DO NOT biodegrade!! They jam up the sewer line like crazy. My son reported that Roto-Rooter was at their house about every 8 weeks.
So sorry about your Grandfather
A big lesson down the generations. It won't happen to you or your son.
I’m sorry to hear that story especially since sometimes ostomy bag is only until healing gets started. But having a Dad from that age group there’s no swaying someone that’s mind is made up.
@@sidstovell2177 That’s certainly true. Both my husband and I have each had our baseline colonoscopy done, and our 36-yr-old son just had his done.
@@Jen39x Interestingly, as we cleared out their house after my mother-in-law died, we came across a letter, written by my father-in-law’s sister’s husband. He’d written how, a couple of decades earlier, he’d had a large portion of his colon removed, necessitating the use of an ostomy bag. He wrote that he was able to enjoy his retirement years with his wife and grandkids, go on cruises, dance (he & his wife used to be competitive roller-skating dancers), pretty much do anything. He discussed the types of bags, keeping the site clean, disposing of the contents, any nutritional needs, etc. My FIL just couldn’t bring himself to get his suspicions confirmed. They used to travel, go on 3 to 5 cruises a year, go to Las Vegas, visit relatives on the East coast. Sadly, their activities and lives got smaller and restricted as he became a slave to the toilet. When he died, she was absolutely lost, after a lifetime of him telling her what to do and how to do it.
Thank you for such clarity in colon cancer.
Thank you for watching
What I love about igrotum is that it not only targets cancer but also promotes overall well-being. Its a holistic approach to healing.
What is “igrotum”
I just want to help really, please read me it could save soo many lives, or at least give more time:
Guy TENENBAUM's case about cancer stage 4 and his protocol (he didn't use chemotherapy or radiotherapy):
- a low-carb diet outside the fasting period (total elimination of carbohydrates/sugars) and eating OMAD (One Meal A Day) crucifers, garlic, onions, avocados, walnuts/almonds, olive oil and oily fish to avoid losing too much weight (avoid meat and cheese)
- taking specific food supplements that Guy TENENBAUM has called TCC (The Cancer Cure) which correspond to his 5 essentials, with the dosage he took:
* High-dose melatonin 30 mgr before going to bed (Phycocyanine or Lithotamne, but the most powerful would be melatonin): inhibition of SCOT (to use pure phycocyanine and lithotamne to increase the volume of SCOT inhibitors in addition to melatonin)
* Allicin (either as a 2400 mg quality concentrated pill, or with crushed raw garlic): up/down stream of SCOT
* Matcha green tea (with turmeric and ginger): up/down stream of SCOT
* Metabolic treatment (metabloc): Alpha Lipoic Acid (or Sodium R Lipoate, 600mg 3 times a day, 1800mg in total) + Garcinia Cambodgia (Hydroxycitric Acid, 600mg 3 times a day, 1800mg in total) + CoQ10 (the transporter, 100mg morning noon evening)
* Omega 3 in a DHA - EPA ratio (500mg DHA/200mg EPA): to fight keto paradox during ketogenic diet or the fasting phase
* Bromelain (850mg to 5000 GDU) and Quercetin (500mg) for nodules
* Berberine and Curcumin to block additional metabolic pathways
- Alkalinise the body with a combination of baking soda and cider vinegar
- if the body allows it: long fasting then the following month by short fasting and intermittent fasting + taking nutrients and minerals to avoid deficiencies (vitamin D3, Magnesium Bisglycinate and multivitamins)
The protocol has been validated by 3 peer-reviewed scientific publications:
1) "Inhibition of SCOT and Ketolysis Decreases Tumor Growth and Inflammation in the Lewis Cancer Model"
2) "Cancer Metabolism: The fasting reset, the ketosis paradox and drugs for elimination"
3) "Unravelling cancer metabolism: Fasting reset, the ketogenic diet? and therapeutic strategies"
Yes what is Igrotum? Can’t really find anything on it.
People love the *idea* of holistic approaches to healing, but there's a reason people aren't actually finding success with igrotum when they're sick enough to need chemo
@@katherinemitchell3142which is what reason
Elaborating more on prevention and lifestyle choices would be good, or a followup video that focuses on prevention more than detection. Thanks for your info!
(51-year-old female on FMLA...waiting on STD). Had those symptoms early this year. Had my first colonoscopy this past July and diagnosed with stage 4 rectal cancer that had spread to my liver and abdomen in a short period of time. Currently, completed round 3 of chemo treatments and round 4 in about a week. Started a Go Fund Me page to help out my medical bills and other needs.
As suggested in the comments, get checked to have a peace of mind. The colon prep (day before the colonoscopy) is a pain but the procedure not quite bad from my experience.
Good informative video!!
That's awful! I really wish you the best of luck beating it.
What is the frequency of colonoscopy..... How often a person should do it?? Any answer?
Thanks so much *MR OBALAR* on RUclips for curing me from Herpes, keep saving lives.😊❤😊
I had a tempest test done and found out I have the marker from my father . He died at age 40, I'm 35 and already battling osteosarcoma, so very nervous. Focusing on eating healthy and staying active
Yeah, my doctor told me I had bowel cancer and I walked out and never looked back. Left all meds too. I am 68, I was told in 2015 I had breast and bowel cancer. I left. I am fine,
Yes. This is exactly what I'd do. To not think is to not have.
My sister was 22 when she started having symptoms. She kept going back and forth to the doctor but no one looked into it further. They just told her it was ibs, hemorrhoids, her diet, and the list goes on. Eventually she was in so much pain and couldn't hold food down, she had diarrhea with some bloody discharge, and decided she needed to go to the ER. The ER was no different from the doctor. They sent her home time and time again... It wasn't until she had gotten worse they decided to keep her in the hospital.
Long story short the hospital she was in was awful and couldn't figure out what was wrong with her. She was sent out to a hospital in San Francisco and they immediately ran tests on her and found a cancerous tumor the size of an orange in her rectum. With some treatment and surgery they removed the remaining parts of the tumor and she was deemed cancer free. Unfortunately my sister is no longer here, she was only 23 when she passed.
Sorry for your loss
🙏🏿‼️
Am so sorry your sister had such a very bad experience with her medical care .You must be devastated by your loss .
This sounds similar to what someone shared in her video (sadly shes dead) where the doctors werent looking into, she ended up being diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer... :(
I'm sorry for your loss 🥺
I have a lot of the symptoms mentioned in this video (Adominal cramps and pain, bowel changes, constipation, diarrhea). I went to see my doctor and they recommended I have a colonoscopy done asap.
I would do it ASAP I had all those symptoms for a few years until I got sick and couldn't move bowels I was diagnosed with near stage 4 Colon cancer ,I had surgery and 9 months of chemo and feel great now but need to get a yearly colonoscopy to see if all's good ,get a colonoscopy and don't put it off like I did
@@randymcmanus8691 are you okay now?
A very comprehensive and clear explanation - thank you!
I had just turned 50 when I was diagnosed. Had been shittin' blood for a while so I was pretty sure I had it. A couple surgeries and a short dose of chemo and I'm 5 years clear.
But the doctor said it takes upwards of 10 years for polyps to turn cancerous, meaning I'd had the formings of it growing for a quite some time. So don't put off the colonoscopy!
On a good note, my diagnosis encouraged about a dozen of my friends to get their long overdue colonoscopy. One guy found Diverticulitis and everyone else was in yhe clear. But don't put it off!
All 4 things I've had all the... 23 years I've been menstruating. & always told doctors about. & they told me it was normal & to shutup, grow up, get used to it, stop complaining. 🥺 I guess "luckily" (?) for me it was mostly explained by finally getting someone to test my thyroid, & boom, hypothyroidism.
Point being-- Oh, great, another thing it could've been that my doctors just didn't wanna care about. 😭
It's never good to panic. Cancer is not always the cause. See if you can get a colonoscopy scheduled and take it from there.
So you mean to say that Hypothyroidism can cause IBS?
Amazing condensed video, so Dr. Hansen is very informative and continually "on point" with necessary content. Great work on this video!!!
It's good to know the symtoms . My mother died from it 50 years ago . They had to open her up to find out what was wrong but it was too late , she passed away at 48 . I called my doc about abdominal pains , gas , etc, & requested a colonoscopy in November & I got an "consultation" with a specialist for March 15 . Lots of luck to those to get their scope in time before it's too late . I had my last one 6 years ago . Thanks to the covid shutdowns many lives have been lost & put in jeopardy .
@@smerchly Sorry to hear about your mom; my mom died at 61 with Ovarian cancer. She worked so hard her entire life, so wish she'd had time to enjoy her golden years.
@@dennishassler605 Thank you ! I am now nearly 80 and have lost many friends the past 2 years. My sister has lung cancer as well as her best friend , from smoking . Most people I know who died the last 5 years were smokers . I never smoked and don't understand why young people start the habit now . The warning is on the package (to protect against lawsuits) . I try to eat a balanced diet , eating good quality nuts ,oat cereals , yogurts ,etc. That may help stave off bowel cancer . We have so many additives in our foods that make it more complicted to deal with the causes of cancer. And our pets (dogs) are getting more cancers ...
Love listening to what you share! Thank you!
Thanks so much *MR OBALAR* on RUclips for curing me from Herpes, keep saving lives.😊❤😊
I'm 40 years old, male, fit and active, not overweight at all. I have had abdominal cramps and pain on and off for over 2 years now, but has been worse in the more recent months. Severe burning/clawing sensation in the lower colon/rectal area below the navel that comes and goes. Usually it's worse at night and can keep me awake. At times, the pain is so severe that it feels maddening and causes trouble with concentrating, sometimes sending shivers/chills throughout my body because the lower colon hurts so much in waves of pain. Other times it isn't as bad. Some days it makes my lower back hurt. My symptoms first sent me to the ER with jitteriness, frequent urination, heart rate that fluctuates about 20 numbers up and back down again to whatever baseline sometimes 2-3 times per minute) and rapidly fluctuating blood pressure in 2019. At first I presented to the ER with 170/113 blood pressure. Nowadays, it has been anywhere from as low as 99/57 to more commonly less than 110/low to upper 60's on average. At first I got a POTS diagnosis, then dysautonomia/autonomic dysfunction. Showed my gastro doc a very swollen lower abdomen that looked like I was expecting a baby and he said, "WOW! That's some serious bloating!" Over the past year or two, I have had constipation issues with lots of burning pain in the lower colon. I have also had Gastritis for about 3 years. My gastro doc tried to treat it in 2020 with about 6 months of 40mg Prilosec twice daily. Didn't help it. He put me back on it and I'm still not getting much relief from it. Upper Endoscopy/EGD with biopsies showed no H Pylori or cancer. The stomach lining was just really red and inflamed. I took a FIT test and I'm waiting on the results. I've been lightheaded for 3-4 year snow on and off, have seen primary care doctors, neurologists, endocrinology, gastroenterology, had a few ER trips, etc.
Full-body malaise, poor sleep, sensation of incomplete bowel movement, low energy and fatigue, etc. My gastro doc documented a severely inflamed colon and Gastritis for my recent paperwork. CBC, with DIFF/PLT, Thyroid with TSH, and Comprehensive Metabolic Panel show nothing on blood work. I have been awaiting Social Security Disability seeking payment back to February 2021 after injuring my back and my symptoms got even worse, but I don't think they're related to the back injury (L4-5 disc).
I get lightheaded 24/7 with these quick 'jolts' of lightheadedness when moving sometimes just one arm or leg a slight distance. I also get lightheaded and rarely vertigo while lying down at night go to sleep. As my heart rate slows as I get more sleepy, I sometimes get room spinning vertigo and feel like I'm on a hammock that two people have at each end and are swinging and spinning me around. Orthostatic hypotension. I have gotten lots of canker sores in various areas of my mouth, gums, tongue, lips, etc., since I was a kid. Realistically, what should be suspected at this point given the above symptoms? Crohn's? Colitis? Diverticulitis? It's hard enough coming up with the money for the specialist appointment as a self-pay with no insurance or employment. I can't work because of my symptoms. Colonoscopy is nearly $1,400 out of pocket. I'm over $30K behind in Disability back payments, having not worked since February 2021 due to my injury. Obviously, I can't afford the colonoscopy. Should I be worried?
Find a way to get the money for a colonoscopy. I had to. It’s the only thing that can diagnose it. Are you seeing any blood?
I think you need the Colonoscopy for your own peace of mind. Maybe you should do a go fund me page. Good luck.
Going through the process is hard. Especially when you are always having problems. You will need a diagnosis when you go for a hearing or in the disability process. Go fund me may help. You may be able to find a clinic that has drs that help with pro bono health work. It doesn’t hurt to ask. I don’t think you have much of a choice. God be with you.
Please get an allergy test. Also, do not eat any food with dyes in it. Especially red#40. See if your gastritis decreases. Don't drink ginger ale for the pain. Try ginger tea. The caramel food coloring in the soda is also a culprit.
Any updates on ur situation?
" Nobody knows why colorectal cancer numbers are rising in young people ." ...yes we know ... is the food you get from the supermarket or from the fast food ... all those additives and all the stuff they put in . all of that is the cause. and is by design , not by chance . a society dedicated to profit , not to people .
My dad passed from colon cancer at 69, I ended up having colon cancer at 50 they did a left hemicolectomy on me and I have always been very healthy eater , vegan gluten free because I had problems with my stomach since I was 6 years old and was a picky eater drove my mom nuts how skinny I was, I also have Lupus and my gallbladder was removed prior to the cancer diagnosis.Unfortunately I am getting the same symptoms back and I will not go through that surgery again I had a very bad experience.
Have you considered prolonged fasting/ intermittent fasting?
@@claudiamarianidamato9499 yes I sure have. I am the healthiest eater you will find and I do a lot of research unfortunately, I believe it family genetics. I started off with stomach issues at 6 years old. Also having Lupus makes my very bland . One reason I am vegan. Also watch foods what causes inflammation. I am in the medical field and have great doctors.

I got Crohn's at 13 after being isolated by abusive parents and I'm disabled from not having love in my life. I had a terrible mental breakdown that I'll never recover from after learning that I'll never find anyone I'd want because I am weak and hopeless and don't go outside.

@@herbbowler2461 A little harsh, don't cha think?
I was 47 and was not taken seriously, being dismissed as IBS as I was too young. I had all of these symptoms. Anyway, finally they listened to my complaints that something was wrong. I have haemochromotosis but was anaemic. I am not a smoker or drinker, I was marginally over normal BMI but had a high carb diet. I didnt eat a lot of meats, but I do now. 2 and a half years on and I am not the man I was, but I am alive, which wasn't a certainty before surgery.
I went to the doctor this week for occasional pink color (bleeding?) and was upset to learn that i need to wait a week for the insurance to approve me and then another who knows how long for an appointment with a GI doctor and then finally after that get a colonoscopy. I got to the doctor as soon as i noticed this odd symptom, but i feel like they don't take it that seriously.
One of the best videos I have seen on this subject. Thank you very much. question. Does nitrates and beats? The same thing as nitrates and meats? Does nitrates and beets cause. Or help promote colon cancer, like. Nitrates say in bacon/ I never hear this talked about or mentioned in contrast.. Thank you.
Thanks, my sister died from it at age 30! It was too late for her after discovery...Doctor thought she was too young and gave her medicine first....that was over 30 years ago...
