Colon cancer is rising in young Americans. It’s not clear why.
WaPo via msn ^ | Joel Achenbach, Laurie McGinley

The five people gathered around the restaurant table do not fit the profile of colon cancer patients. They’re female, and they’re young. Two were diagnosed in their 20s, one in her 30s, two in their early 40s.

Their colon cancer support group gathers about once a month to share stories, such as the one about the doctor who said you just need a laxative, the one about the oncologist who said there’s nothing we can do for you but give you chemotherapy the rest of your life, the one about friends saying, “You don’t look sick,” without realizing that isn’t helpful.

These women know all too painfully well that something strange is happening in the United States in the long war on cancer. Although progress has been substantial in lowering the overall death rate from cancer, deaths due to some types of cancer have increased among people younger than 50.

Colorectal cancer is one of the drivers of this trend. In the past three decades, incidence of the disease has risen significantly among people younger than 50, many of whom have no obvious risk factors, such as having a genetic predisposition. No one knows why.

My 45 year old female cousin works for the government, so she got all of the jabs. She was diagnosed with colon cancer in November and had surgery in early December. Today she's in ICU with two blood clots in her lungs.

I am estranged from my supposedly conservative family because I did not take a single clot shot. I was banned from their houses because I was "the problem."

Two uncles have developed sudden onset of Parkinsons.

NOT A SINGLE ONE of them will admit their ailments have anything to do with the jabs. They won't even raise the question. My relationship with them is shattered.

Hmm. What happened in the last few years that would cause a sudden, unexplained cancer?

My ex-brother-in-law has tumors in his brain that spread to his bones. There was nothing wrong with him until he got the shot. He’s smart enough to put two plus two together.

Colon Cancer is normally a slow mover. A colonoscopy every 7 years should spare you from it.

Very sorry to hear that.

In my own family, I tread very carefully. I won’t bring it up unless they do.

But, if they do, I will hold to my position until presented w/ facts that say otherwise.

High-Fructose Corn Syrup, and the bogus Food Pyramid for starters.

“ High-Fructose Corn Syrup, “

Nothing wrong with it in moderation.
Our agriculture is safest and most productive in the world.
Americans spend one of lowest percentages of income of anyone in the world.

I don’t dispute there’s something going on between the √aXX and cancer but how did this cause the cancers diagnosed in the article from 4 - 7 years ago? (And present a few years earlier than that?).

Switch to starch-based plant nutrition as advised by Dr John McDougall, and not only will you keep your colon clean and shiny, but you’ll also appear more radiant on the outside while keeping colon/polyp cancers away!

Watch this video by Dr Hiromi Shinya, NYC & Tokyo, take you on a grand tour through healthy colons, and not so healthy colons from the standard American diet! Put away your snacks while you watch.

“... as advised by Dr John McDougall...”

That’s the fallacy of “appeal to authority”. Just because an authority says something — professing a certain opinion — doesn’t make it so. That’s why we have random controlled trials.

Could also be other things, like mixing of populations, and increased sexual partners. There are lots of viruses humans carry which don’t really produce symptoms, but can produce cancers at some point. And in the GI tract a lot of viruses, even plant viruses like PPMV can infect other types of cells, replicating somewhat in bacteria and yeasts in the gut, even epithelial cells lining the lumen of the intestinal and colon tissue. And there are even some bacterial associated with higher Colon cancer risk.

You take all the populations all over the globe, mix them together, get them all seeping with each other before adulthood, you will get a lot of weird things begin killing people oddly until it culls out all the vulnerabilities and the populations all adapt to each other’s bugs.

Precisely what Big Ag doesn't want people to do.

None I’m sure. Vegans have the absolute healthiest diet with the least risk of health issues.

HPV causes anal cancer which isn’t the same thing. These cases are probably vaccine related.
