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.
