  • Many cases of colon cancer have no symptoms. If there are symptoms, the following may indicate colon cancer: Abdominal pain and tenderness in the lower abdomen.Rectal bleeding is the most obvious colon cancer symptom, but there are other, more subtle signs, like learning you're anemic. It may be the first sign that you're bleeding internally. Other signs are you can't catch your breath, you feel bloated or crampy and you have severe constipation.

    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 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.

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.

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.

    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.

    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 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"

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 am 82 and had a stent put in my aortic artery a year and a half ago. I was on Brilinta as a blood thinner for a year. After that, they changed my blood thinner to Xarelto. It caused an ulcer in my stomach which had to be cauterized to stop the bleeding. My hemoglobin was down to 7. It has been two months since that and my blood is almost back to normal. It was up to 13.2 six weeks after the scope. They did give me two units of blood in the hospital which raised it to 9 within a couple of days.
    I had stopped the Xarelto a few weeks before the ulcer was noticed. I was weak and feeling bad, but did not know what the problem was until the blood started showing up in my stools. Black stools. Stomach pain before that.

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.

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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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!

    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.

      @adamrak7560 Год назад

      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.

    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.
