What is Colonoscopy?



Summary:
A colonoscopy is an invasive procedure that allows a physician to look inside the large intestine. Recommended for people after the age of 50 and every 10 years, the colonoscopy is also used for diagnosis of possible cancers and inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn's Disease and Colitis. The colonoscopy procedure is also used in patients suspected of having Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

What is Colonoscopy?

Colonoscopy enables a visual inspection of the large intestine. A scope with video camera is inserted into the rectum and can detect dysplasia (pre-cancer), cancer, polyps or any inflammatory process evident in conditions like Crohn's Disease or any type of Colitis.

The colonoscopy procedure is highly recommended for those over 50 with a family history of colon cancer.

Colonoscopy Preparation

Colonoscopy preparation requires a flushing out of the intestines with a laxative and eating a liquid diet for 2-3 days prior to the colonosocpy.  A colonoscopy sedation is given at the beginning of the procedure to make the patient more comfortable.

Colonoscopy Risks

Colonoscopy risks are rare but do include perforation, bleeding, infection or some residual gas after the procedure.

Something to consider after the colonoscopy test is that there are natural alternatives to what your conventional physician might recommend.

Cancer: If dysplasia (pre-cancerous tissue) is found, with proper caution, an all natural treatment protocol similar to the treatment plan Dr. Dahlman recommends for Irritable Bowel Syndrome or Inflammatory Bowel Disease may restore health to the tissue and rid the patient of dysplasia.

If active cancer is found, conventional treatment plans recommended by your physician are usually the best route and can be improved if you compliment it with the natural plan described by Dr. Dahlman mentioned above.

Crohn's Disease and any type of Colitis:  Symptoms of Crohn's Disease or any type of Colitis can be eliminated as well as ending the need for medications by following Dr. Dahlman's all natural protocol described in his free 35-page report.
