There are many genetic components to colon cancer. That is why a colonoscopy is usually started for screening at 50 and repeated every 10 years because that is the time it takes the polyp to turn cancerous. As far as the side effects ..the rate of perforation and infection far does not outweigh the risk of early detection of polyps!!! the statistic is somewhere around .02 percent for perforation. COLONOSCOPY is by far the best method to detect/biopsy colonic polyps. art, a colonoscopy is life saving. simply eating right and dieting and emotional happiness will NOT prevent colon cancer.

Ask your doctor why? Most doctors of today are in the mode of diagnosing, burning, cutting or poisoning the body to fix something. Many issues that develop over time are the result of poor diet due to stress, nutritional ignorance and emotional unhappiness. By gradually including nutrient dense foods of high quality into our body, these pesty little issues of disease seem to go away without tests and operations. Our dear Dr. Fuhrman always prefers to use food and nutrition before medicine and the knife. I respect him very much! I have a doctor friend I know that wants me to consider getting a colonoscopy. I hope I spelled that right. I know of two people that ended up with perforated colons and terrible side effects. I guarantee that there are thousands that had problems with this problematic method of diagnosing and scraping of pollyps. Dr. Raj appears to be a lady that is VERY conscious of her food nutrition and happiness. Thank you Dr. Raj! Dr. Raj made a beautiful point here. Ask your doctor why?
