Diet is the cause of 99% if bowel cancer, if you have any early symptoms, see you doctor, change you diet and get rid of animal fats, dairies and all processed foods. Then you have a huge chance to overcome or, to survive it.

 Can't agree there. My father died of bowel cancer after being a teetotal vegetarian non-smoker all of his 59 years. What he didn't do was go to the doctor when he felt ill. Other members of my family have also had run-ins with this disease, and I have taken part in a study which confirmed that it's all in the genes. A colonoscopy is far more useful than the "poop testing kits", and polyps found during the procedure can be removed at the time. They may become cancer in 5 to 10 years so the oncologists have told me.  My last husband (like my father) believed in alternative medical treatments only and refused to see a doctor. He died aged 54. Modern medicine is why there are too many of us on the planet. But I do not want to volunteer to go back to the good old days when most people never made 70!

There's more to changing your diet than claiming to be a vegetarian, 99.9% of those claiming to be vegetarian aren't, they eat dairies and processed food. Have no sympathy for anyone who doesn't use all the facilities of medical science, as a survivor of terminal cancer, have a pretty good idea of the reality. Only fools refuse to use the advances of medical science in diagnosis or traumatic medicine, denial is one of the biggest diseases on the planet and the majority seem to suffer from it chronically.

In my entire life, only ever met one or two real vegetarians who approach their lifestyle and diet by looking after themselves and being aware of what they are putting in their bodies. Met thousands who claim to be vegetarian, but are really just fooling themselves and eat heaps of animal laced junk processed foods.

We have longer life spans for a number of reasons, hygiene, nutritional understanding, lifestyle, along with better food production and storage in some cases. Plus medical science has allowed us to overcome many problems faced by people in the past which killed them, especially during birth and the first year of life.

However cancer is increasing rapidly and medical science has yet to understand or discover any cure for it, all they can do is cut it out, or suppress the symptoms until it goes away or the patient dies.

There is a huge amount of medical and nutritional science which supports changing diet properly has a profound positive effect on the human bodies health and well being. As one cancer specialist put it to me many years ago, your body is a machine which burns specific fuels, if you put in the wrong fuel, the machine will break down over time. You wouldn't put water in your fuel tank, or petrol in your cooling system, or sump, as people cars are very important to them, so they really look after them. But they are happy to fill their biological machines with every form of junk and rubbish possible, never clean them out, service or maintain them and wonder why they get ill, their body begins to break down and finally cancer. Which is just a degenerative disease fuel by toxins, chemical poisons and waste fats stored in the body.

It really doesn't matter how much people deny the facts, what matters is those who really want to get well can look for alternative approaches that work for them and not be put of by deniers or the false claims of anyone. So like other endevours in life, if the information is not given and checked out, nothing changes and no one has the right to deny others the chance to help themselves, by claiming diet and lifestyle don't effect your health or the conditions of cancers. When all the science states diet does effect your health in major ways

 G'day Peter, when you see your specialist ask him if diet and lifestyle will help you recover and improve your health condition. He's the one to talk to and get the best information, if he says yes, then you can do your own research to find the best diet for you. Everyone is different and what suits one, doesn't necessarily suit someone else.

During the worst time of my ill health, I was lost as information wasn't available to everyone. Now with the internet, you can research any subject you want and health should be the priority of everyone. Seen to many die because they left their entire future in the hands of the medical profession, whilst many others changed their lives to survive and still use the medical profession, but are better self doctors than the professionals and they are survivors.

Today if you have problems, you go to the doctor and get a diagnosis, then begin your own research to verify, understand and have an appreciation of the causes and ways to alleviate the condition and rebuild your health. It's up to you what you do, to me good health is more important than anything, so make sure I know what my health is and how to make it better, without becoming a boring old fart.

 All the best for your future.
