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.

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.

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.

Your video on colon cancer hits close to home for me. I recently started a channel sharing educational content about colon cancer and the lessons I've learned along the way. Your content is inspiring, and I believe we can create a positive impact by sharing our stories.

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.

Great info Dr.! In my humble opinion, info such as this should be taught in a high school health class.

Can’t believe I just stumbled on your channel. What a clear and well put video. Very informative and to the point. New sub!

A lot of these symptoms are due to a lot of things. It doesn't only have to be colon cancer. My bowels change depending on what I eat which is a lot of vegetables, blue berries, etc.

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.

Maybe genetics plays a role as well?

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.

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.

@akajulz

Жыл бұрын

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!

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. Like used car salesmen, surgeons and doctors have a way of pressuring you to act fast without time to think or ponder what you should do.

I try to eat a balanced diet , eating good quality nuts ,oat cereals , yogurts ,etc. That may help stave off bowel cancer . We have so many additives in our foods that make it more complicted to deal with the causes of cancer. And our pets (dogs) are getting more cancers ...

My grandmother died from colon cancer. She suffered so much. She ate fresh not processed foods too. Please do the fecal stool test. It is so simple to do and can let you know if you have symptoms without getting a colonoscopy.

Cook cow feet and knee weekly, which is full of collagen. It creates a mucus kind of layer to stomach and intestine that brings healing. That helped my mom. All you need is a crockpot.

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.

I miss my brother. He was institutionalized most of his life and god only knows what they feed those poor inmates. He was released when he was diagnosed with cancer . He never smoked or drank because he spent most of his life incarcerated. He always complained about stomach and intestinal pain but they just gave him an acid redux pill and said it was just heartburn. For him when he was a free man it was too late to start over with a new life . DONT be like him please. He died in 2017 a skeleton.

You mean if you have any symptoms?

My father-in-law, unbeknownst to us, began exhibiting several of these symptoms. He was a stubborn old cuss, too. We noticed a steep decline in his body mass (unexplained weight loss), which he insisted was due to a change in his diet, cutting out sugars, eating more veg, etc. We lived 1,200 miles away, and our visits were sporadic, so we couldn’t help but notice a dramatic change. Our son moved in with his grandparents, in order to establish himself with a new job in that city and puddle up money for an apartment. He began sharing tidbits of information with us, such as grandpa using the toilet every 45 minutes - even through the night! He’d spend 15 minutes in the bathroom, too. Our son noticed grandpa had a supply of hemorrhoidal wipes to clean up with. Gramps insisted he had hemorrhoids. Our son reported having to clean the bathroom EVERY morning before he went to work, and EVERY evening when he returned, as there was a carnage of bright red blood and fecal matter splattered throughout the toilet, on the underside of the seat, dripped on the floor, and smeared on the faucet and in the sink. What the hell?! Didn’t grandma know what was happening? Nope, it wasn’t happening in the master bathroom, so he kept her oblivious to what was taking place in the main bathroom. We instructed our son on how to approach grandpa about getting checked out by a doctor. “Nope, don’t need a doctor poking around my privates.” They had the best health insurance, had $1 million in the bank, yet wouldn’t spend money for a health check-up. He died about a year later. Cause of death: Cardiogenic shock! Yeah, he essentially ran out of blood, causing his brain to shut off, resulting in his heart stopping. No autopsy was performed; however, the emergency room physician suspected advance colon cancer OR possibly prostate cancer that advanced into his abdomen and penetrated his colon. He was going with the former. After his funeral, grandma revealed that he suspected colon cancer, but he decided he wasn’t going to be one of those guys who had to deal with an ostomy bag. She regretted not getting him help, as she was absolutely lost without him. He could have lived another 20 to 25 years if this cancer was treated much earlier. BTW - those hemorrhoidal wipes DO NOT biodegrade!! They jam up the sewer line like crazy. My son reported that Roto-Rooter was at their house about every 8 weeks.

@@Jen39x Interestingly, as we cleared out their house after my mother-in-law died, we came across a letter, written by my father-in-law’s sister’s husband. He’d written how, a couple of decades earlier, he’d had a large portion of his colon removed, necessitating the use of an ostomy bag. He wrote that he was able to enjoy his retirement years with his wife and grandkids, go on cruises, dance (he & his wife used to be competitive roller-skating dancers), pretty much do anything. He discussed the types of bags, keeping the site clean, disposing of the contents, any nutritional needs, etc. My FIL just couldn’t bring himself to get his suspicions confirmed. They used to travel, go on 3 to 5 cruises a year, go to Las Vegas, visit relatives on the East coast. Sadly, their activities and lives got smaller and restricted as he became a slave to the toilet. When he died, she was absolutely lost, after a lifetime of him telling her what to do and how to do it.

My sister was 22 when she started having symptoms. She kept going back and forth to the doctor but no one looked into it further. They just told her it was ibs, hemorrhoids, her diet, and the list goes on. Eventually she was in so much pain and couldn't hold food down, she had diarrhea with some bloody discharge, and decided she needed to go to the ER. The ER was no different from the doctor. They sent her home time and time again... It wasn't until she had gotten worse they decided to keep her in the hospital. Long story short the hospital she was in was awful and couldn't figure out what was wrong with her. She was sent out to a hospital in San Francisco and they immediately ran tests on her and found a cancerous tumor the size of an orange in her rectum. With some treatment and surgery they removed the remaining parts of the tumor and she was deemed cancer free. Unfortunately my sister is no longer here, she was only 23 when she passed.
