How do I cleanse my colon?

I am 17 years old, I have been having digestive problem over the past year. I don’t have a bowel movement after 1 pm, and the size of my stool decrease in size after a bowel movement. No pain, No inflammation. Its very difficult for me to have a bowel movement after the morning. Before all this, i had a bowel movement after eating. My digestive system was great , but not now. I consume a lot of fiber all the days. About 25-30 grams of fiber with some organic food in the day. I want to cleanse my colon for then my digestive system can return to normal function. I went to my doctor and she told me that i was ok, my digestive system is not good. But this is not the case. I tried Activia, it didn’t work for me, but i just liked the taste. I do try i can do a flush out with fruits and vegetable because i’ll lose weigh easily because i play soccer. I’m 5,7 about 130-135 pounds. I have been thinking of a natural colon cleanse supplement. But i don’t know with one. Does anybody know of a good colon cleanse? Is it a laxative? Or is there anyway to cleanse my colon? Not a week diet because i tried it and it didn’t try, it only made my weigh drop dramatically.

Thank you for all your help. God be with you.
If you bowel one time a day, its not ok, before this year all my life, i had 3 bowel movements a eat after eating. That means its ok.

WATER
1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.
3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one’s metabolism as much as 3%.
4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.
5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.
6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.
7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.
8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.
9. By the year 2015, drinking water will be gone since the population increases. The more people, the more resources.

COKE
1. In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol carries two gallons of coke in the truck to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.
2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coke and it will be gone in two days.
3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the “real thing” sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous China.
4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.

Colon cancer and questions.?

I have some questions bout colon cancer. How does this disease Develop? how common is this disease what possibilities are there for recovery? what treatments will be necessary and what is the survival rate for patients with this disease

Inoperable liver cancer from colon cancer?

My father-in-law has been diagnosed with colon cancer and secondary liver cancer. He has just had surgery to remove the affected part of his colon, but the liver cancer is inoperable. He will undergo radiation and chemotherapy once he recovers from the surgery. The doctor has said, depending on how he responds to treatment, that he may have as little as 2 months or as long as 5 years to live.

My question is regarding my husband. He lost his mother to breast cancer 9 years ago and now he is going through it all over again with his father. I know he is hurting, but he’s very unwilling to talk about it. He and his father are very close. On top of it all, he is now becoming pessimistic about his own health, knowing that both of his parents will have died young.

I am doing the best I can to imagine how he is feeling, but I know I can’t really understand. Can anyone offer any advice on things I should say to him? I have tried optimism, but he doesn’t want to hear it.

Grandpa has cancer, just found out. Literally in tears, PLEASE answer?!?

I just found out my grandpa has cancer. He is 72. No one knows i know, i found outon my own. so i can’t ask any questions. i am 14, so i dont know much about this stuff. I dont know much about his stae right nwo, but my guess is either colon or prostate cancer from what i have heard. i know i heard he doesnt want any surgery or treatment. with this info and his age, how long do you think he will live?

COLITIS!! Please Help!!!?

My mom has been diagnosed w/ Colitis. She started to experience symtoms about 2 weeks ago when she couldn’t go poop for about 1 week and there was blood. She has to take 2 laxatives and this other pill everyday. She has to start taking this ‘enama’ stuff that your supposed to insert into your rectum tomorrow if she still can’t go bm (the last time she went was last thursday). She also had colon cancer about 20 years ago so the docs said that because of the radiation treatment her bowels will decrease in size.

My question is how long are these ‘flare-ups” for colitis and how to stop the bleeding. She doesn’t want to take the enama, because the package said to take it everyday for a month and she just cant. PLEASE HELP!!

Can chemo continue after an onset of pneumonia?

Please help? A friend of mine was admitted to the hospital today with pneumonia. She has colon cancer which has spread to one lymphoid. What really concerns us is that she has only done 6 treatments. We want to ask her when we visit tomorrow but we don’t want to make her think about it. Its not about us-its about her. We don’t want to ask the dark question. Is this it? Do they have to give up now? She is 35 years young and has only done 6 treatments-not even a week of the scheduled 8 week regimen. How bad is this? On a scale from one to ten…

Your honesty is appreciated.
I do know this is common but it has only been 6 treatments. is that common?! It seems so quick…and I would never ask her that.

Do skin cancer has symptoms like fatigue, feeling, dizzy or fainty, or any other like that?

I have two moles that are kind of expanding and becoming crusty, at first I was not paying much attention, but know one of them is bleeding and I am in panic, I have a doctors appontment next week but I while I wait I want to find out if it has other symptoms.

Is extreme fatigue a symptom of cancer, or just what happens during cancer treatment?

If you have cancer of any kind, would extreme fatigue be a symptom of that? Or are you just severely fatigued once you begin treatment? I know chemo and radiation takes a major toll on the body and that of course causes fatigue, but could you feel that way before you even find out you have cancer?? Thanks in advance.

How would you define cancer related fatigue?

Almost every cancer has fatigue as a symptom, but the definition for it is so broad that I don’t understand if it’s just being more tired than usual, or if it’s being unable to perform the most everyday tasks.

Is Diarrhea in AIDS symptoms is mandatory?

If Diarrhea and some other AIDS symptoms(fatigue,vomiting,cancer,swollen lymph nodes, night sweat, shivering) is not present, then the person can be sure he has not contacted AIDS?

What are the symptoms of lung cancer?

I’ve heard constant coughing and fatigue (being tired) and weight loss are some of the symptoms, my mother was diagnosed with pneumonia almost four months ago, and was coughing all the time, tired constantly and she has lost alot of weight. She is still coughing constantly, however she is no longer constantly tired and is just as active as she always was.

Does this mean it’s possible she doesn’t have lung cancer?

We are still awaiting results.

in male breast cancer a chemotherapy is given before or after surgery(at stage 2)?

Does anyone have any stories on the success of holistic cancer therapy vs. chemotherapy?

I’ve heard a lot of people talk about how cancer can be completely avoided by not only not smoking, or drinking.. But by eating healthy foods free from toxins or artificial steroids and stimulants and such.
Breast cancer runs in my family… And my poor aunt’s last year of her life once cancer had been diagnosed was miserable because of constant chemotherapy that made her nothing but even MORE sick.
It didn’t help her a bit, and neither did the operations. When my grandmother had breast cancer before that, there had been a lot of speculation that when the doctors did the biopsy in the first place, the cutting of those cancer cells is what allowed it to spread throughout her blood stream and quickly to her brain and what caused her to die of brain cancer when she was originally diagnosed with breast cancer only.

After seeing my loved ones stricken down with this, and knowing that MORE women in my family face the same threat.. I don’t really trust chemotherapy and surgeries to cure cancer, and I want to know what I can do, and what I can admonish THEM to do to help relieve our risk, and God forbid.. If anyone else comes down with it to possibly cure them instead of make the last year and a half of their lives miserable like my poor grandmother and aunt.

Do you know of anyone who has been cured of cancer either through holistic treatments? Or are you sure and adamant that the USA’s current standard of chemotherapy and surgery is still the best way?

Also.. As a bonus question: If you do think that holistic treatments are better, then why, in your opinion, are they considered “illegal” to market as treatment here in the USA?

How to support my bf’s sister with breast cancer?

My bf’s sister was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. She was on hormone treatment to try to become pregnant, which accelerated the cancer‘s progression. She was put on an emergency list for her surgery which was done last week. They remove her whole breast and lymph nodes, which were all affected.

She will be undergoing radio therapy and chemotherapy in a month when she is recovered from surgery.

I’m not that close with her because I’m just getting to know my bf’s family. I met his sister only once before her diagnosis but I enjoy her very much and I know how much she means to him. They are close, and I feel really touched by this situation, also because both my grandmothers had breast cancer.

However, it’s very delicate to be getting to know her while she’s going through such an intense experience, and I really want to do everything I can to support her and my bf and their family through this. My bf says I’ve been really helping and supporting him a lot, but having been through this before with my grandmothers, I know what’s coming ahead and more or less what to expect from chemo.

It’s a long road to recovery and I want some advice from other breast cancer survivors about how to be supportive with a person that I don’t know very closely.

Thanks everyone.

If cancer travels from the breast to the lymph nodes and both are removed via surgery what are the chances it?

went elsewhere?

She was taking Adriamycin and cytoxan for 15 weeks. Week 14 she had a MRI done and her lymph nodes were noted as “Normal appearing”. Then she waited 3 weeks and had surgery, and after examining them they found 1 of 14 nodes had evidence of cancer size 8mm. So, obviously it started growing after the chemotherapy drugs were stopped or it was not detectable on the MRI.

So, now after her mastectomy we will begin taxol for 12 weeks and then it will be followed up by 6 weeks of radiation. Then her treatments will be over.

What can we expect her life to be like once it is all completed? How often will she be tested for cancer? Will her body have pains and aches that we have not experienced yet? Will she always be in fear of it reoccurring?

If the cancer cells have a chance to re-group between now and her taxol treatments should we do another MRI before her taxol treatments begin?

I guess I may have asked part of these questions before, but I am afraid and worried.

Mastectomy for feline breast cancer… your thoughts?

My 10 year old cat was recently diagnosed with breast cancer (adenocarcinoma/cystadenocarcinoma, infiltrative), although I suspect she may have had it for almost 2 years (she was staying with a relative for a while, and I noticed the lumps when I got her back). Her chest x-rays were nice and clear, blood work was unremarkable, and she’s acting completely normal. I brought her to an oncologist who recommended chemotherapy every 4 weeks (she’s already had her first dose, the drug is Carboplatin, she tolerated it completely, no side effects) and also a radical bilateral mastectomy. There’s no way to know if she has months or years left right now. I brought her for a surgical consult (we started chemo before the surgery because her appointment with the surgeon was weeks away, and we are still trying to come up with the money) and the surgeon said that even with the mastectomy, the cancer could return on her vascular wall.

I’m torn. Should I put her through the surgery? Has anyone heard of just treating with chemo and no surgery? Or should I just do nothing and let nature takes it’s terrible course? I want to do everything I can to help her live as long as possible with the best quality of life. Any advice that you may have would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for your time.

Can a Dog or Cat get lung cancer from second hand smoke? ?

Can a Dog or Cat get lung cancer from second hand smoke? We know about humans getting it because when a human dies there is always an autopsy. We don’t do autopsy‘s on animals when they die.

Lung, Adrenal, Liver cancer

My mom had gallbladder cancer in her early twenties…she was treated for gallstones and the cancer was discovered and removed at that time. Later on, at age 44, she died…she was diagnosed five days prior to her death with lung cancer, the tumor was 10x8x6 cm. After reading the autopsy it appears that te cancer was also in her adrenal gland, 15x9x7 cm, and her liver 6x4x2 cm…is this hereditary and should I be tested for it? I am 34 years old…
My doubts are that the cancer started as lung cancer…I believe it started when she had gallbladder cancer…then it went to the adreanal gland, liver and then lung…is that not possible? Are galbladder and adrenal gland cancers hereditary?
I am unaware of anyone else having cancer in the family that young…my grandfather died of lung cancer (mom’s father). My uncle does thell me stories of them being very poor and having flies in the house, lots of them, and my grandmother kept a bottle of DDT and sprayed them and the whole house with it! I worry because I also lost my father when I was 15, he was 41…he had heart disease and that was hereditary and he lost his father when he was 10 from the same thing. I just keep feeling that the cancer started from the gallbladder. I will request the autopsy report, I only have the preliminary one…this all happened when I was only 19 so it has been 14 years…

When someone dies (in any event) is it mandatory that an autopsy is performed?

My grandma had small cell lung cancer and was on hospice.
She passed away yesterday morning. However, my aunt was taking care of her and she said she “called out” and they “medicated” her. My aunt has been known not to be stable. She gave her benadryl, trazadone, ativan, and morphine all in one dosage.
Will they perform an autopsy to see if she died from cancer or an overdose? Is it mandatory to perform one?
I would like to know.
Thanks!

How did scientists figure out that smoking is linked to lung cancer? Is my answer to this right or wrong?

I answered this in class today. I was just wondering if my response would be marked right or wrong because it was graded.

I said that scientists used statistics to calculate the increase in the number of people that had received lung cancer between the 1920s-1970s. There was no reason to suspect air pollution or anything else in the 1940s or the gases from World War I. Smoking was the only suspect in this situation. The number of people smoking in men and women went up between the 1920s through the 1970s but declined a little in the men due to education and notices about the side effects of smoking.

NOTE IMPORTANT: I KNOW THERE WAS AN AUTOPSY that was performed on a guy who had received lung cancer but before the 1920s it was uncommon back then. I FORGOT to write that into my answer on my quiz. WIll i still receive full credit?

Can lung cancer go undetected in someone?

My Sister who had MS was 49 years old passed away 4 months ago. the story is that she wasn’t feeling good for a couple of days. she went to the doctors and they said they couldn’t find anything really wrong with her, her leg was swollen prior to the visit. but doctor told her it was arthritis. she complained about her leg on several occasions. the last day she complained on the phone she wasn’t feeling well and had problems not be able to get up out of bed to go to the bathroom.she couldn’t walk. we told her we will call 911.but she refused and said she would get her son to do it. as the story unfolds-her husband told us she crawled out of bed and fell in the living room complaining she couldn’t breath. her son called his dad at work but didn’t call 911 instead. maybe shock. dad called instead. she died in living room floor in front of her 19 year old son.. she was a chain smoker. smoke two packs a day, high cholesterol and had MS but not wheel chair bound. her husband refused an autopsy. her death certificate says. aneurysm of the heart due to smoking. her husband states it was lung cancer, that she told him awhile back but didn’t want any treatment. her husband states her white blood cells were extremely high. my family thinks it was a blood clot in her leg that traveled up. she did have xrays done on her swollen leg but doctors didn’t see anything. but the clot could had been in her hip at that time? her death is a shock to us all. but something is bothering me inside. how can her own husband not know for sure how she really died? they been together 35 years, teenage sweethearts. its not like her not to say something to her family that she was dying of lung cancer. wouldn’t we know anyway? can it be undetected? .her MS was controlled and she was on a steroid which made her look bloated in face. she also complained on the last day of blurred vision,dizziness.
