“nine cancer-causing infections.”
And COVID is NOT on the list of nine!
Lucky me...I’ve had Hep B in my 20s and H. Pylori in my 60s. I kept researching what was going on with my stomach in my 60s after getting nowhere with my doc. I told him “I want you to test for H. Pylori.” He said “Good idea.” Test came back positive. Really pissed me off that I had to do my own research and make the suggestion. Still bothers me over a decade later.
I asked the same doc what he thought about the various COVID protocols by Dr. Roger Seheult and others in 2020. He reply was “Follow CDC guidelines.”
He’s moved on and I have a new doc. Hopefully she’s better.
Doc scheduled me for a bunch of tests including the colonoscopy but said, "probably not it but first let's do an H. Pylori test." The next day, "Yep, that was it. I have called the pharmacy for your kit. Do you want to still do the other tests?"
I said, "No thank you," then did the happy dance.
