Colonoscopy: A Gold Standard to Refuse - Why Dr. John McDougall Advises Against Colonoscopies

https://www.youtube.com/live/iN0lmWUnXVU?feature=share

2.5 hour video

first hour he explains his point of view - colon cancer cells
replicate very slowly - polyps are caused by meat irritating the
lining of the colon - if you improve your diet, remove the source of
irritation (meat), and bolster your immune system - you will probably
die of colon cancer when you hit 150

colonoscopies come in 2 types - 2 foot scope and 6 foot scope - 2 foot
scope will find approx 80% of polyps - 6 foot scopes cause bowel
perforations at the same rate that they save lives by detecting polyps
- colonoscopies are big money makers for hospitals and doctors

therefore a smart person will NOT get a 6 foot colonoscopy - and
certainly not until they are 54 to 64 years old approx

other countries do not push colonoscopies like the usa does - canada
recently told people to stop getting colonoscopies

no one in africa gets colon cancer

this is my synopsis of the first hour of the video
