Computed Tomographic Virtual Colonoscopy
to Screen for Colorectal Neoplasia (Tumors)
According to the New
England Journal of Medicine Article, a CT scan of the colon is
almost as good as colonoscopy for detecting colon cancer.
I like this concept. Colon cancer is a bad disease.
Early detection and surgery can be curative.
Our colons are designed for handling
a host of highly reactive chemical reactions.
Back in the trillenia
(many many years), when the food was real, and the water not contaminated
by the 500 things that shouldn't be there, and the diet was
high fiber, and people were not taking prevacid, prilosec, zantac,
etc., and had normal amounts of hydrochloric acid in their
stomachs to kill parasites and other unwelcome bacteria (that
may be in our food or underneath our fingernails) the colon
could do its job, and colon cancer was rare. Nowadays, the
colon is subjected to a maelstrom of noxious substances and infectious
agents and its poor cells give up hope of surviving there and through toxicity go
cancerous at a rate never before seen. So it behooves
us to "look" into the area and make sure all is ok. Colonoscopy
is not that pleasant and for most people requires an IV sedative. And
there is a small risk of the colonoscope puncturing the colon
wall which becomes a serious complication. This article
shows that doing a virtual colonoscopy by CT scan one can have
88% certainty of diagnosis. Then if something is found a colonoscopy
can be done. Since the vast majority of colonoscopies are
negative, this invasive procedure could be avoided. With
CT scans there is a radiation exposure, but if you protect yourself by
taking the following cocktail beginning the day before, the
day of, and the day after your CT scan, you can help to protect
your DNA from damage. This is not medical advice, as I am not
your physician. But these substances have been helpful in protecting
cells from radiation injury.
This should
be dosed four times a day.
1. 500mg Beta Glucan
2. Vitamin
C 1-2 grams
3. OPC 100 mg
4. B complex 50
5. Vitamin E 400iu
6.
Glutathione 500 mg
7. Vitamin A 5000iu
8. Green or black tea during
the day 3 cups total day of and day after.
9. Miso soup with kelp,
one cup after the testing.
So If you are a worrier about what
could be lurking inside of you, are a smoker, are over 50 years old,
have eaten poorly for most of your life, have a family history of colon
cancer, or are just prevention minded, I'm for doing it. -
