Interesting.  Thanks for posting.

I've had two colonoscopies so far with another due next year.

I had the first one, then the second three years later, and the next scheduled for seven years after that.

No polyps in the first two.

I don't see a reason to have the next one.

Thin Lizzy is right all those recommendations are made by doctors who want to charge you thousands in colonoscopies so they can pay their school loans and because they like sticking things up peoples a$$e$.

[Gym-Rat]

Ill still get it done though. My uncle and my brother (47) both died from it, and normally its (can be) hereditary.
I did take some blood test where some can have "the gene" for it where its almost guaranteed you'd get it (or something like that).
(And was negative).
Both very east tests and Ill continue w/ them every 5-10 years. It has saved some people when caught early...

[Randomum]

If it can help then by all means do it. I wonder if that research is flawed.

[Humble Narcissist]

I'll just do the poop in the box and mail it in method. I'd hate to be the employee that has to sort through everyone's shit.

The late great Frank Zappa died of Colon Cancer. I remember hearing him say he got the exam every year but when the Doctors did find the Cancer they  said it was too late.

No, my friend, it was prostate cancer.  He, I think, got "nothing to see here, move along," from his doctor.  Fuck his doctor.

Interesting study, but colonoscopies are not done yearly on the same person.  They are done every 3 - 10 years depending on the doctor and what they find each time.

If your GI doctor is giving you a colonoscopy yearly, then he's a rapist.

    maybe colonguard is right for you.

There are risks to surgeries that most of us shrug off.

However, these risks are real and you can get messed up badly.

Avoid unnecessary medical procedures.

The risk of colonoscopy is perforation of your colon and other things that can mess you up.  If the procedure doesn't really help why take the risk?

Are you having colonoscopies or the stool test?

Doc has me go every 5-10 yrs for oscopy, and yearly for those "crap and mail" tests.

I grew up around hospitals and know what they do well and what they don’t.

They’re good with emergency procedures like a ruptured appendix, and repair jobs like knee surgery.

They don’t do disease well as their only treatment protocol is prescription drugs.

gee daddy how they get colon cancer from diet?

Chronic constipation irritates the colon which may raise the risk of cancer.

Former healthcare here and I would agree.  I'll provide some additional context:

1) most/all disease would be improved or even cured with lifestyle changes.  As i'm sure you can imagine, american adults aren't real good about making lifestyle changes - just look at allthe people who are overweight.  So you do the next best thing which is manage it via medication .. far easier to pop a pill than to eat better or exercise.

2) medical interventions that aren't pharmaceutical-based are gonna be labor- and time-intensive.  Hospital networks are looking to maximize their bottom line so they run bare-bones staffing numbers, which means you wont have staff on hand to carry out these other interventions.

It is preventable through lifestyle changes.

Simply eat a well balanced diet.

Prevention
About 90 percent of colorectal cancers and deaths are thought to be preventable. In addition to regular colorectal cancer screenings, exercise and maintaining a healthy weight can reduce your risk of colorectal cancer.

To prevent colorectal cancer, the following is recommended:

Eat a well-balanced diet.
Reduce the fat you consume, particularly animal fat.
Increase your consumption of fruits and vegetables.
Exercise regularly.
Don't smoke.
Take a low dose aspirin a day. Aspirin can reduce the development of polyps, particularly in patients with previous history of polyps or colorectal cancer.
Take calcium supplements. Researchers believe calcium decreases the growth rate of polyps.

I will add to that. Wet wipes!

Always wipe your shit with wet tissue paper, or better use a shower head for your butthole. This did wonders for me.

The doctor wouldn't even need a tube. Just spread his cheeks and look right up his colon.
