Colon cancer is a very rare occurrence in those people whose main diet is vegetables. Those who are always including large amounts of meat in their diet are at higher risk than the former.
Colon cancer prevention therefore calls for a lot of whole grain, fruits and vegetables in one's diet. 5 servings daily is what the American Cancer Society puts as the ideal quantity of these healthy foods.
It can however be very difficult to pin point which diet components one must focus on to prevent such diseases. Consumption of fats for instance will increase your body's bile production which will improve your cells rapid growth.
Fiber rich foods are always recommended when one needs to improve their bowel movement. These foods will also have the benefit of decreasing the negative effects that hail from carcinogens and bile acids.
Oat bran is one of the most highly recommended dietary components for preventing colon cancer as it is very rich in fiber content. It has even more fiber than fruits and vegetables.
25 grams of dietary fiber every single day is recommended for reducing the risk of contracting colon cancer. These 25 grams can be taken from your bread, beans and cereals.
Bile acids and fatty acids can be dissolved by consumption of calcium. A recommended amount of calcium is 1000 milligrams daily. For your antioxidants that also prevent risk of colon cancer, you will get them from vegetables and fruits as well.
Exercise always improves the body in one way or the other. 30 minutes of physical activities daily will make sure that you improve the movement of waste through and out of your body. You will also have a healthy flow of blood to your colon.
To remove harmful toxins that may be trapped in your body, you will have to get cleansing every now and then. A clean colon will find it easier to absorb nutrients from the food we eat.
Make sure you have a clean colon and maintain its function and you will always have a healthy body.

How to Prevent Colon Cancer Naturally
Cancer in any form is dreadful. Not only because the word itself terrorizes our mind, the visuals we recall are too scary. Once it sets in, it is very difficult to get rid of it in totality and one has to surrender to whatever treatment methods are available. Injuries to nearby organs, side-effects, trauma for the body and mind as a whole plus social stigma are some realities that stay with the victim for the rest of his/her life.
I can suggest three mantras: One, prevention is better than cure. Two, either you change your lifestyle, or make some necessary additions to counter the cancer threat. Three, try alternative medicines or therapies.
WHY GIVE OPTION ON LIFESTYLE?
If you belong to the western world, (as per Wikipedia) chances are that you are more susceptible of catching this type of cancer. But you cannot move to the other part of the world for only this reason. Moreover, how would you know for sure that you could be a victim? Only for this reason I mentioned that either you change your lifestyle or...
IS CHANGING LIFESTYLE EASY?
Definitely not. We are all part of a society and have our stated norms of behavior, work culture, food (solids & liquids) consumption pattern, ways of recreation are all set. To some extent we can change our habits like avoiding late nights, getting full sleep, exercising etc. But today's expenses need extra work both physically and mentally. Somewhere we have to compromise which we cannot compensate with something beneficial.
A fully nourishing lunch induces sleep so some people either don't have proper lunch, or combine it with coffee and both are harmful. Work pressure forces to go either for smoking, extra cups of coffee, or for over the counter pills as they are easily accessible. Even these have harmful after-effects.
WHAT COULD BE DONE HERE?
Remember Edison, who invented the Electric Bulb? He slept for just four hours and always got up refreshed. Develop a habit of sleeping less. Easier said than done, may be your answer. To counter I present two incidents.
1. I was working on a project and could not sleep for 3 days. The fourth evening, somehow I had to accompany my boss to an overnight musical concert. When we departed, I was totally refreshed and went back to office.
2. Many of my hostel friends developed the habit of sleeping at three in the morning to get up by seven. The same pattern holds good twenty years after passing out.
It is all in the mind. You can train it the way you want. Think about the soldiers at war zone or the police personnel who hardly get time to sleep. When these people can manage why can't you? Try meditation, even a 30-minute trance is enough to compensate for a full night's sleep.
HELP YOUR BOWEL DISCHARGE EASILY.
The most common cause for rectal/colon/anus cancer is constipation. Piles is the first reaction. Eat veggies or fruits that have roughage e.g. Carrot, Radish, Lettuce. Those veggies that do not dissolve in full. Eat fruits whole, as the skin acts as roughage. If not allergic to Banana, it acts as a good bowel cleaner.
Drink plenty of plain water (not disguised as beer or canned juices). Avoid the lift when possible.
Get the wonder product "Isabgol" which is neither a fruit nor vegetable nor a medicine. It is the husk of the Psyllium plant seed. This husk absorbs water, becomes slippery and aids bowel to discharge without pressure. You can consume this either with water, curd, fruit juice or sprinkle liberal amounts in any dish as it is tasteless.
TRY ALTERNATE THERAPIES
No system of medicine is foolproof. Doctors do not admit the fallacies. For example, Homoeopathy has no medicine for high blood pressure but works wonders for skin diseases. Colitis, skin ulcers, burns & wounds are treated in no time. It has no side-effects as well. Ready made mixtures are available over the counter for hundreds of diseases that you can try.
As always, there are no shortcuts to success. Trial and error should be your mantra. Find out what suits your body, your taste and let your mind guide you. After all if you catch the dreaded disease, your mind suffers the most.

Person Learns He Has Metastatic Colon Cancer Despite Doctor Knowing
Person Learns He Has Metastatic Colon Cancer Despite Doctor Knowing His Symptoms For Years
There are times when colon cancers bleed. Under some circumstances, the blood may show up in the stool. When the cancer is close to the rectum, the blood could even show up as bright red. Even when the blood cannot be seen, it might nonetheless be possible to determine that the patient is bleeding in other ways. For instance, the loss of blood may show up as anemia. Blood tests might uncover internal blood loss that might be caused by cancer in the colon. The main blood test results to check are the hemoglobin, hematocrit, and Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) levels. Low levels might signify blood loss and iron deficiency anemia. When someone is found to have levels that are below normal levels for these tests physicians typically agree that there should be follow up to discover the explanation for the blood loss, including the possibility of cancer of the colon.
Consider the matter of a 64 year old man whose blood tests exhibited all of the above. The subsequent year, the individual's blood work found a deterioration of the man's condition. Also, a guaiac test found that there was blood in the patient's stool. Without any more testing, the indivual's physician inserted a diagnosis of hemorrhoids into the individual's record. Also, the man's PSA level (a test that is used to screen males for prostate cancer) was a 10.3 (anything above a 4.0 is normally viewed as high and troubling for prostate cancer). The doctor did not put any report in the person's record to indicate an having examined the prostate. The physician failed to tell him about the high PSA levels and did not refer him to a specialist.
Around two years later the person was seen by another doctor. Given the person's age this doctor ordered a barium enema. The result: a diagnosis of advanced colon cancer. The patient passed away from metastatic colon cancer within three years after his diagnosis. The person's family pursued a lawsuit against the doctor who overlooked the patient's abnormally low blood test results and overlooked the presence of blood in the man's stool. The law firm that handled the matter reported a settlement in the amount of $1,250,000
Blood tests are done for a reason. Abnormal test results are indicators that something might be wrong, maybe even seriously wrong with the person and call for follow up. Sometimes follow up means repeating the blood test in just a short amount of time to determine if the levels improve but when the levels deviate enough from normal levels or keep getting worse, physicians ordinarily agree that this increases the need to order appropriate other tests to determine the explanation for those levels. Doctors further normally acknowledge that blood in the stool of an adult individual requires immediate attention to rule out cancer of the colon as the reason. A colonoscopy is usually ordered to look at all the colon and either find or exclude the existence of any tumors. This doctor did not do any of this.
Despite the fact that in general lawsuits that settle do so without any admission of liability by defendants it is not surprising that the law firm that worked on this matter was able to report such a significant settlement.

How to Prevent Colon Cancer Its Cause Is the Key
How to Prevent Colon Cancer Its Cause Is the Key to Its Prevention
Are you worried concerning colorectal cancer? Late phase colorectal cancer is a particularly lethal disease that takes the lives of over 50,000 annually in the United States alone. What may be performed to protect your self from this illness? Here we focus on the protective measures you possibly can take to achieve optimum colon health.
Colon Cancer is the malignancy in the large intestine, the organ that temporarily houses wastes like feces before they are completely eliminated from the body through defecation. It is one of the most common diseases responsible for taking several lives of individuals around 50 years of age. However, colon cancer being a terminal illness doesn't take away the fact that its development can be prevented through some healthy practices.
Everyone can be susceptible to colon cancer. On the other hand, there are people who seemed to be born with some or all of the risks factors of this malignancy while others acquire or inflict themselves with the said factors. Aside from age, the individual's choice of food, lifestyle and pre-existing polyps in the intestine also predispose a person to the aforementioned disease. In particular, high cholesterol and low fiber diet increases an individual's chance to develop colon cancer. Carcinogens from smoking are also one of the contributory factors that lead to colon malignancy. However, intestinal polyps are most likely to progress into malignant overgrowth and are the major cause of colon cancer, especially when accompanied with the other factors.
Knowing that people who are 50 years old and above are high risk for colon cancer, it is recommended by doctors that these age group undergoes early detection diagnostic exam like colonoscopy. This will aid in determining presence of polyps that is the major precursor of most colon cancer cases. Hence, once polyps are found present, an appropriate surgical intervention such as polyp removal can be immediately done to prevent further progress of the polyps into malignant tissues.
With regards to diet, high fiber and low cholesterol intake are highly suggested by experts to prevent colon cancer. Cholesterol intake is usually associated with production of free-radicals which are identified as carcinogenic while fiber promotes fast and regular elimination of wastes from the body.
The normal metabolism of the body is responsible for the production of free-radicals. However, the destruction caused by free-radicals are controlled and even prevented by the natural antioxidants like glutathione. Therefore, other aspects that may cause imbalance between free-radicals and antioxidants' level such as high blood cholesterol must be totally avoided. Cholesterol molecules are susceptible to be transformed into free-radicals because free- radicals may bind and steal ions from them. Hence, it is logical to say that high blood cholesterol level is directly proportional to the amount of free-radicals in the body. This means that an increase in cholesterol level increases the free radicals level as well and vice versa.
Another risk factor for contracting colon cancer is smoking. In fact, 50 out of 4000 chemicals from cigarette or tobacco smoke have been determined carcinogenic. Smoking is comparable to directly instilling free-radicals into the body, which intensifies cellular destruction in the respiratory tract and also in other body organs such as the colon. In these regard, every individual who wants to trim colon cancer risk factors has a choice to give up smoking now and never start smoking at all.
In general, prevention of colon cancer is dependent on the determination of its possible origin such as the risk factors mentioned above. When this origin is identified, appropriate interventions can be set up to maintain a healthy colon. The elimination of these factors or decrease of exposure of individuals to them reduces the risk of developing the disease and increases the chance of preventing colon cancer.
The info offered in this item isn't a replacement to professional treatment and should not be used for testing or providing treatment for a medical problem or illness. It is best to check with your health provider should you have or presume you may have a health problem.

On the other hand, there are people who seemed to be born with some or all of the risks factors of this malignancy while others acquire or inflict themselves with the said factors. Aside from age, the individual's choice of food, lifestyle and pre-existing polyps in the intestine also predispose a person to the aforementioned disease. In particular, high cholesterol and low fiber diet increases an individual's chance to develop colon cancer. Carcinogens from smoking are also one of the contributory factors that lead to colon malignancy. However, intestinal polyps are most likely to progress into malignant overgrowth and are the major cause of colon cancer, especially when accompanied with the other factors.
Knowing that people who are 50 years old and above are high risk for colon cancer, it is recommended by doctors that these age group undergoes early detection diagnostic exam like colonoscopy. This will aid in determining presence of polyps that is the major precursor of most colon cancer cases. Hence, once polyps are found present, an appropriate surgical intervention such as polyp removal can be immediately done to prevent further progress of the polyps into malignant tissues.
With regards to diet, high fiber and low cholesterol intake are highly suggested by experts to prevent colon cancer. Cholesterol intake is usually associated with production of free-radicals which are identified as carcinogenic while fiber promotes fast and regular elimination of wastes from the body.
The normal metabolism of the body is responsible for the production of free-radicals. However, the destruction caused by free-radicals are controlled and even prevented by the natural antioxidants like glutathione. Therefore, other aspects that may cause imbalance between free-radicals and antioxidants' level such as high blood cholesterol must be totally avoided. Cholesterol molecules are susceptible to be transformed into free-radicals because free- radicals may bind and steal ions from them. Hence, it is logical to say that high blood cholesterol level is directly proportional to the amount of free-radicals in the body. This means that an increase in cholesterol level increases the free radicals level as well and vice versa.
Another risk factor for contracting colon cancer is smoking. In fact, 50 out of 4000 chemicals from cigarette or tobacco smoke have been determined carcinogenic. Smoking is comparable to directly instilling free-radicals into the body, which intensifies cellular destruction in the respiratory tract and also in other body organs such as the colon. In these regard, every individual who wants to trim colon cancer risk factors has a choice to give up smoking now and never start smoking at all.
In general, prevention of colon cancer is dependent on the determination of its possible origin such as the risk factors mentioned above. When this origin is identified, appropriate interventions can be set up to maintain a healthy colon. The elimination of these factors or decrease of exposure of individuals to them reduces the risk of developing the disease and increases the chance of preventing colon cancer.

How to Fully Recover From Colon Cancer and Enjoy Life
How to Fully Recover From Colon Cancer and Enjoy Life Again
Colon cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the western world today ranking behind heart disease. Many people are unaware of the many dangers this health threat poses as it can strike any ethnic group of different social economic backgrounds at any age. Certain individuals who are accustomed to enjoying a healthy lifestyle can be stricken with this disease all of the sudden without warning. To determine what treatment protocols to take, one must first understand what colon cancer is and the dangers that it poses.
Colon cancer begins its origin as polyps forming inside the large intestine. These cells regenerate and multiply at different rates causing abnormal cell growth and function. These marble shape growths are usually benign and pose no harm. However, some polyps can grow cancerous and pose a serious health challenge to the individual. Once these polyps become tumors, they can transform in many stages wrecking serious damage to the body.
Colon cancer affects the body in many ways based on the stage development of the disease and its progress. One symptom of the cancer is rectal bleeding which is indicated by bloody stools. There may also be bouts of diarrhea, vomiting and abdominal pain. If the tumor grows large enough, it could cause intestinal blockage leading to bowel obstruction requiring emergency surgery.
Other signs of cancer include fatigue, fever and blood poisoning due to the colons toxin waste build up. If colon cancer is diagnosed in the early stages it can treated without harm to the patient. However, if it has advanced beyond the early stages, then aggressive measures are generally implemented to arrest the disease and keep it from spreading further.
The removal of all polyps in the colon during a colonoscopy represents the earliest phase of cancer prevention in modern medicine today. Other forms of detection include barium enemas along with X-rays and fecal occult blood test. However, once the polyps develop beyond the tumor stage, surgery or anticancer drugs are regularly used to shrink and eliminate tumors all at once. If these procedures are unsuccessful, then radiation treatment and chemotherapy are than administered to keep the cancer from spreading to other organs causing further complications.
The use of these conventional treatments pose major health risk, not just to the colon, but also to other organs that depend on the colon for digestion and elimination of toxic waste. The anticancer drugs along with radiation and chemotherapy pose a dangerous threat to the safety of the patient in question. One of the many threats include the development of infections caused by a weakened immune system.
The infections are caused by the bodies inability to absorb nutrients from food sources due to constant vomiting, diarrhea, and loss of appetite as well as the destruction of red and white blood cells caused by the radiation and chemotherapy treatments of the colon cancer. These patients will experience severe weight loss as a result complicating health issues. Other treatment options are available in the fight against disease known as alternative therapies sometimes referred as natural therapies.
There are many natural therapies that are available for the treatment of colon cancer such as oxygen treatment, ozone therapy, and alkaline water. The oxygen and ozone treatment options have no negative side effects unlike radiation, chemotherapy and pharmaceutical drugs which have been known to cause serious injury or death. The oxygen and ozone therapies work by putting high concentrations of oxygen atoms into the bloodstream that are transported throughout the body to all tissues and organs at the cellular level.
This high oxygen level kills all viruses, parasites, harmful bacteria, fungi, tumors and pathogens in existence. Alkaline water performs the same function as it is digested and absorbed into the bloodstream raising the bodies PH level creating an oxygen rich environment. The alkaline water, oxygen and ozone therapies are by far the safest and most effective treatment options in the battle against this disease.
By understanding how colon cancer can develop and progress, one can effectively and safely remove the illness without harm or serious risk.
