Medicine Mistake Sends Colon Cancer Rising

Dear Living Well Daily Reader,
Goodbye, red meat. So along dessert. And alcohol? Forget about it!
Conventional medicine doctors have a LOT to say about what you need to do to prevent colon cancer. Mainly it boils down to swearing off the stuff you love.
But when it comes to warning you about something THEY give you raising your colon cancer risk… well… they suddenly clam up.
That’s right… a life-saving treatment that’s been long-accepted by the mainstream could GIVE you colon cancer.
As if you need another reason to be wary of antibiotics, a study linking these common drugs to colon cancer surfaced.
The overuse of antibiotics is one of the medical crimes of the century. These miracle drugs were a gift from heaven, and we blew it.
You see, when a doctor prescribes antibiotics for no good reason, they create superbugs that no medication can treat. That’s why the World Health Organization says we need to prepare for a world without antibiotics because they are slowly becoming useless.
Antibiotics also destroy your microbiome, the collection of healthy bacteria in your gut… and this has many impacts on your overall health.
That’s bad enough… but no one thought taking antibiotics would give you cancer.
Recently, a group of researchers from Umeå University in Sweden decided to investigate the connection between antibiotics and cancer.
And the results were disturbing.
Their study, published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, examined the medical history of over 240,000 men and women. They found that people who took antibiotics for over six months had a 17 percent higher risk of developing cancer in the ascending colon (the first part of the long intestine) than people who didn’t take antibiotics.
Now, I’m the first doctor who will tell you that you should take antibiotics if you really need them. But you want to make sure you have tried everything else you possibly can first.
Talk to your doctor to determine if you truly need an antibiotic or if you could do without it.
And don’t forget to take a probiotic if you’re prescribed an antibiotic. Antibiotics destroy your healthy gut microbiome, but a probiotic can help restore it.
P.S. You could slash your odds of defeating colon cancer with THIS weird but powerful light treatment. I’ve got all the details right here.
