7 Out Of Every 100 People Suffer Serious Major Complications."

"1 In A 1,000 Have A Colon Perforation & Half Of These People Will Die.

"Colonoscopies Are Harming More Lives Than It Saves."

✳️Written Post Contains...
1⃣ Research data,
2⃣ Colonoscopy complication rates
3⃣ Alternative screening methods to colonoscopy

1⃣ The U.S. is the outlier of the world who uses colonoscopy as 1st line colon-cancer screening modality. There are about 15 million colonoscopies done in the U.S. every year.

In 2001, Medicare agreed to pay for colonoscopy as a screening tool & that’s when the US made Colonoscopy as 1st line diagnostic. It is for money & profit, not health.

Europe, Canada, Australia & parts of S America do not use Colonoscopy as a preventive screening. In those countries, the predominant colon-cancer screening is the stool test, or the newer version of that called FIT.

The absolute risk of developing colon cancer for people following the Standard American Diet is 2.5%. Risk of cancer rate drops to almost 0% when a low carb/low sugar diet is followed. Yet, colonoscopy complication risk is 7%.

One of the most serious hazards, often leading to death, is perforation of the colon, which occurs in about 1 per 1,000 procedures.

It takes 1,250 people screened with colonoscopy to diagnose 1 cancer. This is almost an even exchange: for 1 cancer diagnosis & potential life saved, 1 life is lost from a complication, like perforation.

3 Highly regarded institutions warn colonoscopy does not reduce mortality...

The Journal of the American Medical Association Internal Medicine boldly stated, “…there is no randomized clinical trial (RCT) (or other high-quality evidence) showing that colonoscopy reduces CRC (colorectal cancer) mortality. In fact, the only tests shown to reduce CRC mortality in RCTs are periodic FOBT (fecal tests).

The lack of benefits, & substantial costs & harms, has caused the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Care to tell the citizens of Canada: “We recommend not using colonoscopy as a screening test for colorectal cancer.”

The New England Journal of Medicine published theNordIC trial, the largest randomized studypublished onthe possiblebenefits from colonoscopy 10 years after screening..."The risk of death from any cause was 11.03% in those who had colonoscopy & 11.04% in those who did not have a colonoscopy."

Unfortunately, these undeniable findings that screening using colonoscopy will not reduce your risk of dying will have little influence on medical doctors & facilities performing this highly profitable procedure, which brings in $4Billion profit each year.

2⃣ Colonoscopy Complication Rates:
GI Microbiome: The harsh prep of toxic polyethylene glycol (PEG) to clean out the entire digestive tract ahead of a Colonoscopy kills 99% of beneficial good bacteria. Resulting is months of digestive issues as the digestive tract attempts to recolonize.
Cardiac Event: 1 in 100 will suffer an Arrhythmia or Myocardial infarction.
Bleeding: 1 in 2,000 will suffer bleeding needing inpatient intervention.
Bowel Perforation: 1 in 1,000 requiring emergency surgical repair with risk of fatality.
Spleen Injury: 1 in 6,000 from colorectal endoscopy tool injures the Splenocolic Ligament, emergency surgery & possible fatality.
Infection: 1 in 1,000 will suffer bacterial infection which can develop into Sepsis.

3⃣ Non Invasive alternative testing is superior to Colonoscopy, used in most other countries around the world:
Virtual Colonoscopy: used for colon cancer screening & to detect polyps or other growths in the colon.
Camera Pill: used for colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) to examine the colon.
The M2-PK: (tumor M2-pyruvate kinase) test is a non-invasive screening test that can detect colorectal cancer & polyps early.
FOBT: Fecal Occult Blood Test is a non-invasive stool test to detect blood, cancer & polyps.
FIT-DNA: Fecal Immunochemical Test detects altered DNA in serum blood tests & in stool.
