Since I don’t have a prostate, it reminds me of the thoroughly unnecessary, primitive, and harmful colonoscopy. The date of my first one is NEVER. PEG is not just destructive of the healthy bacterial biome but also neurotoxic and can have negative sequelae in the brain from one exposure (the clean out drug).
There is no reason to ever have a colonoscopy if you eat a healthy diet with emphasis on keeping your gut bugs well fed. If you have problems in the intestines now, evidence of polyps and such, maybe you need it looked into and maybe you need a clean out but use a magnesium product instead. But to everyone else, read up on what gut bugs like to eat, feed them, avoid seed oils, daily junk food, and eat clean. The bacteria love fiber, especially resistant starch.
I eat healthy aND have for years...but I always have polyps when I get a colonoscopy. ..have them every 5 years...still hate them...and yes there is risk...
Hi, Yaelle,
I’m replying to this thread late, I know...but in regards to your statement about not needing a colonoscopy if you eat right, you’re mistaken. I’ll tell you why.
My mom was a vegetarian her entire life. She ate nothing but organic grains and legumes, eating recipes from Adele Davis, Dr. Pottenger and Diet For A Small Planet.
Nevertheless, she got colon cancer, which metastized into liver cancer and she died nine months after her diagnosis.
Her doctor told her that if she had had a colonoscopy the cancer would have been caught in time...she would still be alive if she had done that one simple step.
Every time I see someone praising all the health food and supplements lifestyle I always tell them about my mom. It may have some benefit, but it ain’t magic, and it certainly isn’t foolproof.
See ya’,
Ed
