Physician advancements

currently reading a book now by renowned molecular biologist and a physician to many well known individuals...he says this regarding illnesses, diseases, chronic conditions:

after this year, no more colonoscopies. blood test only

saliva and blood tests will reveal future health hurdles for all

we're almost there with cancer. the way now is jumping from lily pad to lily pad, no longer what can we do. cancer loves inflamation, sugar. you know how to eradicate that, aspirin, diet.

heart disease and depression, they are knocking on the door. it's really mental; stress, sleep(uber important), cuddling, inner circle, standing/walking.

Color me skeptical. Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S. Virtually all colorectal cancers begin as polyps. Those can't be detected with a blood test, only a colonoscopy. I don't think telling people to take aspirin, reduce sugar intake, and just have a blood test is a very sound medical approach. But maybe that's just me.

i'm always skeptical when it comes to medicine...however, he said in an interview that if you're scheduled to get your colonoscopy now, go ahead, but it will be your last one.

i should also add that with cancer, it's really about targeted therapy...the dna of each cancer is different each time its diagnosed...cancer has a "don't eat me" sign on the cells...and now immunotherapy can block that sign and use your own immune system to fight it...he says aspirin is so important because cancer hates aspirin because it blocks inflammation...inflammation is root of heart disease, cancer, and brain decline.

he mentioned that each time steve jobs came to him, they did another type of therapy...he lived longer than expected because of these therapies...jimmy carter is also using these new therapies in his fight.

this doctor helped create navigenics...if you've heard of them, you're probably familiar with the saliva tests they've introduced.
