The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy is dispelling the myths and giving patients the facts about colon cancer for National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month
March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month and the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE), representing the specialists in colon cancer screening, is dispelling some common myths about colon cancer to raise awareness about this preventable and curable disease.
Colorectal cancer, often referred to as colon cancer, is the second leading cancer killer among men and women in the United States. It is largely preventable with regular screening, and is curable with early detection. A recent study by leading cancer groups stated that deaths from colorectal cancer in the U.S. are down nearly five percent, more than the other leading cancer killers (lung, breast and prostate cancers). Among the key factors credited with the decline is prevention through screening and the removal of precancerous polyps.

Enema or Friend. A tale of a Maui Colon
Do we have to talk about it? http://www.VolcanoHealing.com
If youre a typical American, your colon is probably the most neglected organ in your entire body. But did you know that its the most vital in terms of your overall health?
Why do we neglect our colons? Because, for obvious reasons, colon health is a subject
none of us wants to talk about in polite conversation. Out of sight, out of mind.
What if I told you that a clogged colon is quite possibly robbing you of the energy,
vitality and peace of mind that you deserve?
Im not constipated!
You might say: Whats the big deal? My colon must not be clogged because I have normal bowel movements.Well, you may be shocked to learn that the National College of
Chiropractic in Chicago performed autopsies on 300 bodies1.
According to the histories of the deceased, 285 of them claimed that they were not
constipated and had normal bowel movements. What the autopsies revealed absolutely amazed the examiners:
95% of the bodies examined were constipated!
Some of the bodies were found to have colons bloated up to 12 inches in diameter (a
normal colon is 2-3 inches in diameter) and were encrusted with a long-term buildup of
toxic material.The Serial Killer
In the United States, 1 out of every 17 Americans will develop colorectal cancer
Deaths from colorectal cancer rank third after lung and prostate cancer for menand after lung and breast cancer for women. Most colon cancers are tumors that develop from the glands lining the colons inner wall.According to research conducted by Dr. Denis P. Burkitt, M.D.3, the length of time foodwastes remain in the bowel determines: How putrefactive (decayed or rotten) they become inside you How much fat is absorbed through your bowel wall (including unhealthy
cholesterol) What sort of toxins develop in and pass through your bowelDr. Burkitt clearly linked how people with rapid bowel transit times (associated with clean, constipation-free colons) have dramatically fewer incidences of colon disease,including colon cancer.Your 3 Point Checkup
Did you know that youre quite possibly being poisoned by your own body?
Most people have no clue as to why theyre experiencing all too common health issues
that can be a direct result of inadequate digestion and elimination.Could this be happening to you?

The rectum is the last 8 to 10 inches of the colon, also called the large intestine or the large bowel. Cancers that begin in this section of the colon are called rectal cancer. Most rectal cancers begin as small, non-cancerous clusters of cells called adenomatous polyps. When physicians discover rectal cancer in its early stages, it may be curable. Physicians diagnose about 41,000 cases of rectal cancer each year in the United States.Colon Surgery is the primary treatment for patients who have rectal cancer. Some patients with very early cancers are also candidates for removal of the tumor through a flexible endoscope or other minimally invasive surgery approaches. Radiation therapy often plays an important role in treatment. Chemotherapy, which uses powerful drugs to kill cancer cells, also may be used. Radiation therapy and chemotherapy are often combined with surgery in patients whose initial cancer has an increased risk of relapse if treated with surgery alone, such as when the tumor extends beyond the rectal wall or lymph nodes are involved. These combined treatments may also be indicated for patients whose cancers relapse at the primary site or in nearby lymph nodes after initial treatment. There are other options that you can take.

Maui Hawaiian Sea Water Cleanse Part 2
http://www.CaptainColon.com The colons main function is the reabsorption of nutrients and water into our bodies and the elimination of toxic wastes through regular bowel movements. When the bowel is impacted, however, problems arise such as constipation, hemorrhoids, ulcerative colitis and colon cancer. Common symptoms resulting from accumulated toxins in the bowel can include headaches, bad breath, allergy symptoms, PMS, fatigue, depression, irritability, bloating, and frequent infections.
As Dr James Balch writes, Retained debris in the colon leads to the absorption of toxins resulting in systemic poisoning. Colon cleansing can rid the colon of debris and help prevent and treat a variety of health problems.
In order to prevent such problems, it is recommended that one regularly cleanses their colon, small and large intestine. This is known as colon cleansing. As the average adult has between 5 and 40 pounds of compacted waste in their bowels, a good colon cleanse would be of great benefit. It is important to know that all colon cleansing treatments are not equal, however.
The Different Types of Colon Cleansing
Colon Hydrotherapy
Colon hydrotherapy is the process of warm, filtered water being gently fused into the colon through the anus via a plastic tubing that is disposable. This procedure must be performed by a certified or licensed professional for optimum results and safety. Visit www.VolcanoHealing.com to enjoy a retreat in Maui while fasting, detoxing and colon cleansing. Colon hydrotherapy cleanses the large intestine only and the instrument used must be FDA cleared to ensure sanitary conditions.
When used in conjunction with an OXYGEN based cleanser, it is possible, over time, to rid the body of toxins and impacted toxins in both the small and large intestine. Home use systems are available and are best used as an adjunct to the therapy performed by one's professional colon hydrotherapist.
Colon hydrotherapy is also know as colonic irrigation and using colenemas.
Enemas
Enemas are a treatment that has been used for many centuries to treat constipation. Their effectiveness, however, depends on the type of enema that is used. In general, enemas will only remove material from the lower part of the colon and none are able to oxidize or melt away the compaction. They are useful, however, for emptying the rectum , which is the lowest 8 to 12 inches of the colon. On the other hand, many do not like having to insert the enema into their rectal cavity.
The main types of enemas are water enemas (similar to hydrotherapy except using a bag as much less water), coffee enemas, and clay enemas.

http://www.CaptainColon.comHow to beat constipation, IBS, bloating, stomach pain and skin problems while gaining more energy and a flatter stomach at the same time
If you once suffered from constipation, IBS, severe gas and bloating, weight gain, chronic fatigue, acid reflux, parasites, stomach pain, diverticulitis, skin and hair problems and many other common ailments. They put an end to their suffering by becoming clean inside as you read every word of this article, I will tell you how they did it - and how you can do it too. If you've been struggling with these problems for some time, chances are you've tried everything to make the pain go away. You've tried laxatives and other OTC and prescription drugs, commercial fiber supplements, maybe even colonoscopy or surgeries. All to no avail as you're still suffering. Why? Because the root cause of the problem was never eliminated.
The Root Cause and The Dirtiest Secret
So what is the root cause of most digestive ailments? Look at the picture below. How would you feel if long pieces of old toxin-filled fecal matter were stuck to the inside of your colon for months or even years? Would you feel constipated, bloated and lethargic? Would your bowels be irritated by this debris day in and day out causing what we call IBS? Just think about what else toxic build-up like this can cause? Stomach pain and constipation? Fatigue, gas and bloating? Headaches and indigestion? Weight gain and a large protruding belly? The list is almost endless.
"Death Begins In The Colon"
You probably never heard about this before as this is literally the dirtiest secret in America today. As the Vegetarian Times so aptly wrote:
"Of all the polite topics of conversation, the state of one's intestines is probably at the bottom of most people's lists. Let's face it: Irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, gas, diverticulitis and colon cancer are simply not things we like to discuss. And yet, as the old expression goes, death begins in the colon. Don't believe it? Ask any coroner. Autopsies often reveal colons that are plugged up to 80 percent with waste material." - Vegetarian Times, March, 1998 http://www.volcanoHealing.com
