Before Your Doctor Sticks A Camera Up Your Wazoo, You Should Try This Alternative Instead

Doctors and most healthcare professionals recommend getting annual Colonoscopies to help detect early colon cancer. Besides sounding torturous and dehumanizing, this procedure comes with serious risks, including death.


"Colonoscopy can result in significant harms, most often associated with polypectomy, and the most common serious complication is postpolypectomy bleeding." "Another significant risk associated with colonoscopy is perforation."

According to the World Journal of Gastroenterology Colonoscopic perforation is rare but when it does happen "it is associated with a high rate of morbidity and mortality."

Lawsuits have been awarded for people who have contracted Hepatitis C and HIV due to unsanitized Colonoscopy equipment. According to a recent study 15% of all endoscopies used by hospitals are not properly cleaned leaving patients at great risk !!

Kidney damage can occur from drugs that are used in preparation for colonoscopy exams.

Colonoscopies have resulted in cardiac arrest and permanent brain damage.

Are you Getting the picture?

The good news is there is a better way.

There is an alternative screening test that can be used for detecting colorectal cancer called the Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) that is non invasive and highly effective .

It is a 100% safe and can be done in the comfort of your own home.

The best part is that you don’t have to fast or be drugged for the test (not to mention you have zero chance of having your colon accidently ruptured from a camera device being shoved up your keister)

If your thinking about screening yourself don't take any risks, ask for the FIT Test.

For more information check out cbs news's article on the FIT exam.
