True story: I had to see my GP yesterday to get a prescription renewed. We see him because we're in a somewhat rural are and he's convenient. But he's freaking thick as a brick.
And... he's governed by what his tablet says. It told him I need a mammogram and a colonoscopy. He's had a colonoscopy himself, they're completely safe and I need…

After that... he started on the shingles vaxxine. Wondered if I knew about it. Wanted to give me info on it. Really excited about it.
I smiled, told him I knew I could get it across the street at the drug store and would get it at the same time I got my flu shot. He thought that was a great idea.
Do more research on mammogram and scopy. I know you are probably in the age window, but I have serious reservations on these. Doc in my town has a whole Clinic + Building + Surgery Center dedicated to this scopy biz. It can save lives, but what are the real numbers here? Are you at risk from Diet and lifestyle? Genuine Questions.
Edit: Surgery Center. This is how they skirt Hospital affiliation. + the Money.
I *might* do the mammogram. Maybe. I've had them done before.
NOT doing the colonoscopy. They can have bad, bad outcomes. Dr Clueless knows that, which is why he is sending me the poop in a box kit. I might do that at some point.
Neither of those disease run in my family. I have things to worry about, but those are not on the table. And thank you for your concern. :)
Smart to say no - Official recommendation is now to start annual mammograms at 40, (was 50) each year until mid 70’s. Nope - there’s no evidence at all that this radiation screening is worth the risk. None. Mostly false positives that then put you on track for more invasive procedures. Self exam if you’re concerned but stay away from the radiation imo. Research colonoscopy as well, you’ll be glad you declined. What a racket.
same here shibumi. I have 2 invites on my table for a mammogram & poop kit - but I have decided not to do them. I always did in the past - but on reading so much here on substack and other sources, (plus the last 4 years of lies), I think I will take my chances and see my Dr as little as possible. I think I read that Switzerland are going to stop mammograms ? Best wishes whatever you decide.
I have only had 1 mammogram in my life and I am 80 years old. I refuse all colonoscopies, mammograms, and shots of all kinds. My doctor finally gave up trying make me take any medications for anything. The only thing I do is bioidentical hormones.
Will you ever stop taking the bioidentical hormones? I ask because I am following in your footsteps and I just wonder if we will ever reach an age we will not really need them anymore. I just started them within the last year.
How do you take them? Is it a pill, a shot, or do they inject some sort of time released product into soft tissue? How noticeable is the effect, and how long did it take before you noticed any effects? Any bad side effects?
I read something about Suzanne Somers being diagnosed with cancer, but decided to wait a few months before being treated. Then when she did go in for treatment, the cancer was already gone.
I started with a dissolvable tablet--check out Stark Pharmacy in K.C. Kansas, then I switched to a cream. Effects are noticeable in just a few days. No side effects. Read Suzanne's book--Sexy Forever.
yes, and insurance does not pay for it, but over the counter stuff does not work for me. I believe they are safe since they are plant-based and identical to your body.
These conversations right here- I'm here for it - we have lost ALL confidence in medical professionals and are finally waking up to the unnecessary medical procedures processes and jabs that created the cycle of profit for Big Harma. This malignant structure hamstrung the ability for good and ethical doctors to truly practice the art and science of medicine. It trained many of us to rely blindly on advice from doctors without questioning or advocating for ourselves. Many like myself were raised to believe that we were inherently diseased and that the body couldn't correct itself in general. I don't want this to have a boomerang effect on getting the care that we DO need when we are sick, but searching for good medical care in this aftermath is absolutely flabbergasting. The trust is 100% gone.
90% of colonoscopy instruments in use today cannot be cleaned with an autoclave. Fecal matter can be detected with the naked eye. There is no better way to spread cancer than to cut into the body for a sample. This is still standard procedure today in western medicine.
I did not know that. I was pretty solidly in the "do not want category" before I posted and now I'm in the "DEFINITELY do not want category." Thank yo uso much for the info!
LOl. I'm already taking berberine to help with my blood sugar. Will definitely look to see if it is liposomal, if not, I'll find a better source. Thanks!

/yeah, not going to do that.

not if you want to remain healthy!! They help your heart and your bones. I learned about them from Suzanne Somers.
Dr Jonathan Wright of the Tahoma Clinic in Washington State was the first one, I think, to prescribe the bios--he also endorses them.

Do you need a prescription?

I am curious about the kind of doctor you see. I cannot imagine finding one who would prescribe it. I am in my late 50s and live in rural SE MO.

Look at berberine (Regular is good, liposomal is probably far better) vs CRC at the NIH

If you are worried, Get a thermogram, it detects areas of concern with heat.
Yeah, not going to do that… I hear you!
