How To Treat And Prevent Colon Polyps Using Functional Medicine

- Colon cancer is one of the most prevalent types of cancer in the United States. While traditionally a disease of older adults, we are sadly seeing an increase in colon cancer incidence and mortality in young people. Screening for colon polyps with regular colonoscopies is an important way to access your risk of developing colorectal cancer. But what are colon polyps, why do we develop them, and how can we prevent them from forming in the first place?
In this episode, Dr. Hyman sits down with Dr. Elizabeth Boham to discuss the Functional Medicine approach to preventing and treating colon polyps. They dive into the importance of eating an anti-inflammatory diet and optimizing gut health to create a terrain in the body where cancer is less likely to grow.
Elizabeth Boham is a physician and nutritionist who practices Functional Medicine at The UltraWellness Center in Lenox, MA. Through her practice and lecturing, she has helped thousands of people achieve their goals of optimum health and wellness. She witnesses the power of nutrition every day in her practice and is committed to training other physicians to utilize nutrition in healing. Dr. Boham has contributed to many articles and wrote the latest chapter on Obesity for the Rankel Textbook of Family Medicine. She is part of the faculty of the Institute for Functional Medicine and has been featured on the Dr. Oz show and in a variety of publications and media including Huffington Post, The Chalkboard Magazine, and Experience Life. Her DVD Breast Wellness: Tools to Prevent and Heal from Breast Cancer explores the Functional Medicine approach to keeping your breasts and whole body well.

This is very interesting I’ve had crohns colitis for 30 years after a colonoscopy 3pre cancerous polyps were found but this was after a period of intense stress (We lost our income and home)I decided to completely change my diet removing dairy and found a way to heal the stress 1 year later the colonoscopy was repeated and they had disappeared with no treatment which proves diet and mental well-being are the keys I have remained healthy since 😊
Could you please talk more about what diet except removing dairy and really interested on how you healed stress because I have ulcerative colites and stressed all the time. Thank you
@@user-bu9rf5kv1m I had 3 colonoscopies in the last 10 years and the 2 first ones had polyps in my cecum. Biopsy showed they were benign. On my last one they could not find any. I suffer from anxiety and have diarrhea when highly stressed. Since i no longer eat dairy i feel a lot better. I eat a cup of bean ( any beans as i love them ) everyday. My stomach or i should say my intestines are so much more quiet. I dont have these urgencies anymore.
Does anyone still doubt natural herbs? I have seen the great importance of natural herbs and the wonderful work they have done in people's lives. I wonder why people still spend their money on surgeries, injections, and medications every time they get sick. Natural herbs can cure all kinds of diseases, including, prostatitis, herpes, diabetics, asthma, cancer, hepatitis, etc. I have seen it with my own eyes. I was cured of lung cancer,And my sister and her husband was also cured of irritable bowel syndrome by Dr,Ayes who uses natural herbs to cure different types of illnesses. Even Ayes proved to the whole world that natural herbs can cure all diseases and he healed countless people using natural herbs. I know it's hard to believe, but I am a living testimony. There is nothing wrong with trying herbs. Contact him via (drayesherbalmedicine@gmail.com) or WhatsApp +2349028032485.Come and thank me later
What do you mean polyps disappeared? Weren't they removed by the dr? Why another colonoscopy after one year? The protocol is after 5 years
You got the chrone’s and colitis after the colonoscopy? So it caused it ?
I am a healthy 52 and just had my first colonoscopy this past January, and I had 2 small and one large (high grade dysplasia) removed. I just had a follow up 2 days ago, (3 months later) with 3 more polyps removed and I go back in 6 months for another follow up. Don't sit on getting a colonoscopy it is so easy, simple and life saving!
6 months ago I had a sidmogdoscopy. I have to get a colonoscopy in 4months. I am 80 years old.
So you are saying you had 3 more polyps within 3 months? So you had 2 colonoscopies within 3 months??
I want you to know that this video motivated me to stop delaying a colonoscopy at the age of 65. I got it done, no big deal. One polyp, which was snipped. I rest easy now. Thank you.
Bless you ! I needed it YEARS ago and never did! I don't have the support or courage...and l KNOW better. I'm a tough cookie in all things, EXCEPT this!!! Got So many issues, l keep letting it go. Need my Mom to kick me in the assbut l'm 62! Lol!!! Continued good health!
Interesting but this is what encourage others to do but a test I will pass I just eat healthy 70 years😊
Same here, age 62, I am reluctant to have colonoscopy, but accepted as preparation for abdominal surgery. One Polyp was found and gotten rid of. As being on a WholePlants diet for a year and before mostly vegan, exercising regularly, I was quite disappointed with the polyp, but relieved, I was in good hands in this Hospital (Havelhöhe, Berlin, Germany)

God bless those, who fighting that terrible disease 🦠 😢
My Mum died from advanced metastatic cancer in July 2023. She had diverticulitis and went for colonoscopies. Please someone tell me how the hell a huge tumour pushing up into her stomach got missed?? I’m very angry about it.
Dr McDougal says Colonoscopies are too risky. Says sigmoidoscopy is safer, says most cancers are found in lower intestine. His video on this is VERY enlightening
Sigmoidoscopy is not fun really uncomfortable procedure.
I believe it. His argument is it's much less dangerously risky
Most GI doctors that do colonoscopies told me they don't do Sigmoidoscopy anymore.
So very informative and valuable information! It's great that you share your expertise and your guests expertise in this type of forum. It restores my respect for the medical profession. I also want to thank you Dr Hyman for helping your brilliant guests communicate in such a way that we can understand. You have a gift of being able to take the super technical and breaking it down so that non-medical people can understand what's being said! You are awesome!
What keeps being passed by here is peoples fear of the colonoscopy. I’m an RN, and will not have one. A dear family friend died as a result of a perforated colonoscopy. She was sent home, re-admitted in severe sepsis and died months later. I personally cared for several patients who had perforations, it was the elephant under the rug...no one wanted to say a doctor had poked a hole and then sent the person home. Also severe discomfort during the process, removal of polyps, general mistreatment and unpleasantness.
So one may die either way-what a choice !
Thanks to everyone that recommended #DROKOH

Oh my goodness!!
I am also an RN, and seeing a few perforated colons with sepsis and infection and assisting with some with intense bleeding, kept me from having one. I know how you feel. After helping some patients with intense complex wound cares, IVs, colostomies, etc., I still fear a colonoscopy. I did the stool one first and came positive. So I had no choice but to put on my big girl pants and get one. I am glad I did and was on time. I think that after three in less than 8 months, I became used to it. It still makes me nervous though. Get the best gastro you can get and get one for peace of mind. I am glad my first dr decided he was not up to the task and send me to a very good one that took care of my large polyps.
I appreciate all of the nurses here giving advice on the colonoscopies. Doctor Gregor is one Doctor Who talks about death by doctors in his book how not to die. I am 72 and never had a colonoscopy but I’m about to have my first stool test. Cologard I think.
I really soaked up this podcast in particular
with alot of interest
as had so much relevance and information pertaining to me personally.
My mother died at age 48 from metastatic bowel cancer one month after being diagnosed
leaving us four teenage kids to continue our lives without her.
So much she has missed and so much we have missed of her 😢
If only more knowledge & bowel screening was more available back then maybe things might have been a lot different.
We could never understand why our fit,healthy-living, trim, happy, young mother got such an awful disease and died so soon!
I’ve just turned 60 years of age (and so blessed for every extra year I have had longer than what my mother got) and have been having colonoscopies every five years since I was 40.
This time for the first time a polyp was found of a pre-cancerous nature..
Being very aware of the increased genetic risk I have, I am so grateful to have this very valuable information you amazing Drs put out to the world.
Thankyou so much for this fantastic educational platform.
What wonderful😊 intelligent humans you both are making such a difference to help make
our health our wealth
🙏 🙏
Dr Mark Hyman is doing awesome job and promoting healthy life style. Great job!

your lifestyle decides your healthy down the road; hence, it our responsibility taking care of ourselves. There are many doctors as this ones, listen as much as possible and make your own decisions which way to go.
Excellent source of information, you sure are on the right track, keep up the great work.
I had a weird feeling in my abdomen, the only way to describe it was like a mild electrical impulse, I went to 3 different gastroenterologists, and since I'd had a colonoscopy about a year before (with polyps) they prescribed more flax and fiber. Finally a 4th doctor decided to do another colonoscopy and he found 2 villous ademomas, which were large and could have been serious with more time. He also said the flax seeds were causing spasms and to stop eating them. The electrical feeling was completely gone and I am sure this doctor saved my life. Get your colonoscopy and find a doctor who will listen to you.
glad you found a doctor that helped you. that is the problem, finding a doctor that actually sees a person sitting there and not some symptoms to medicate. Doctors that will say "let's find the culprit that is causing this" is rare
The thing about cancer is there are hundreds of types of cancer that can kill a person. It is impossible to screen for every one of them before it is too late. If one of the body's 10 trillion cells goes wacky somewhere in the body, and they find it and cut it out, that's good. But the same behaviors and conditions that caused that DNA damage is likely happening in many other cells. The best things we can do to prevent cancer are eat an anticancer diet, don't smoke, don't drink heavily, do moderate exercise, and be careful of the environments that we live and work in.
Flax seeds need to be ground
@@leeannb03 yes it was flax meal, I should have specified. the doctor explained flax can cause spasms in the ascending colon which can be painful and even debilitating. Once the fiber was eliminated, the spasms were completely gone
@@rons5319 yes, prevention!
I do nutritional counseling.
I was counseling a woman who was suffering terribly from polyups and other intestional
Illnesses.
I had her stop all wheat,preservatives and sugar.
I had her start drinking pure Bone broth three times a day.
Raw fermented sauerkraut 1 tbls
a day.
1 cup whole milk Greek plain yogurt.
Juicing
1 medium beet
1 cup spinach
4 romaine leafs
1 c blueberries
1 tbls fresh ginger
1/4 c watercress
1/2 Cocont water
Drink for the day.
Beverages to drink
Green Tea
Water
Clove water
(1 tsp whole cloves crush daily)
into 1 cup boiling water.Steep 3 min.
Sip throughout the day.
Pure aloevera
She sent me a text with doctors test results.
Polyup free first time in 15 yrs.
This is amazing
This is an excess diet.
@@lindalopez7710 Excess means too much. How is it too much? Too many calories?
Thanks
How long did the woman suffering with the polyups and intestinonal stayed on your beverages drink and juicing how long after she went to the doctor and send you the result?
Dr.Mark you guys were great tonite on colon rectal cancer God Bless Dennis~oldscaper
Yes I think that high stress can bring on These polyps. I know that I got some after a period of high stress!
Thank you for this. I had a doctor tell me that my IBS would not be related to getting colon cancer even while considering my family history of it (SMDH).
Thanks for this great info. I have an oxalate problem which easily causes kidney stones so I have to be cautious about fibrous foods full of oxalates. My last colonoscopy 5 years ago showed pre-cancerous polyps. Unfortunately, I can't have another colonoscopy because of Afib and can't go off my anticoagulants for more than a day. My father had colon cancer at the same age I am now, 73. Thankfully, it was treatable. He lived two more years and died of a heart attack. I feel so stuck right now.
God Bless you Dr Mark and thanks for this amazing video.
Thank you for helping us. Really appreciate all this information. Greatful.
Wow amaaaazing, wish I had a doctor like you!
Two of you Doctor's are very billiant Doctor's great interview keep it up.
Years ago, I read a study that GMO foods cause the gut microbiome to create bacteria that isn't normally produced. So if the gut micrbiome is being changed in new ways, I would think that all of the unnatural ingredients in the food supply could be responsible for the dramatic increases of cancer.
Thank you! I am
Dealing with colon cancer now.
God bless you…I will find out anyway now about my biopsy
It’s not just diet. It’s FAR more comprehensive and complex than that.
It has a lot to do with the immune response amongst the various subsystems.
This is so informative,thanks
Great stuff! Thank you both for sharing. Look8ng forward to organic eggs, butter, red bell pepper & black kale, with turmeric, curcumin, coriander, pepper & a little tasty salt, tonight. Intermittent fasting all day has been easy, at last. Blessings to you & yours, from Canada.
I wish we had Doctors like these 2 in our community. Here all they want to do is push pain pills and anti depressants. Big pharma at its best.
But it is your choice to take these pills and anti depressants. There is a lot of infos on the net these days for you to take care of yourself.

@@frenchustube Hmmmm.... but we have been trained" to trust doctors...what we didn't know
was that MONEY is at the base of the USA system....the more pills, operations, tests, etc., the more income...😢.
And Big Pharma encourage this...
Really when you think about it, it is not right to make huge profits
and bankrupt folk when they get seriously ill...🙁
🙂We in U.K. have our invaluable N.H.S....🙂
We all have the chance of health care , depending on need, not bank balance or Insurance....
Although there is a big worry that moves are afoot to privatise our NHS and follow USA's style....hope not....😥.

😒 Up to a point, yes....But we tend to trust our doctors....
Big Pharma has a lot to answer for....😒
You won’t find these doctors on your insurance. I am a physician of 50 years experience and 10 years ago. The insurance industry called me up and told me I was forbidden to help people, my job was to give them drugs. You will only find good quality physicians when you step outside your insurance. Your insurance pays for the CEO and all the employees and the videos on TV and advertisements everywhere but they don’t help you. There are a few things like colonoscopy they will pay for, but they won’t educate you. They’ll tell you there’s nothing you can do for the polyps. My gastroenterologist even told me I was not gluten intolerant, but I know I am. When I started eliminating all processed foods, I’m down to only a couple of polyps. When I was eating processed food, I had seven precancerous polyps each time. At least I’m a physician doing integrated medicine and I know what to do. Good luck.❤
I have 3 polyps removed one is precancerous that’s why I’m so proactive about my diet. 🙏thanks very informative.❤️👏👏
Magnesium helps with constipation.
After watching these I literally put turmeric in green tea 3x (at least) a day... so scary
Thank you for the good information ❤️👍
I find that raw sweetheart cabbage is absolutely the very best source of fibre for me. Cooked is also excellent, steamed with butter, salt and plenty of white pepper!
Cabbage steaks are awesome!! Check out TH-cam for recipes.❤
My first try at a colonoscopy the dr gave me 75 mg.s of Demerol and anti nausea medicine and Valium. I screamed for the first 5 minutes and was bleeding profusely. The nurse asked him to give me more pain medicine and he declined. He stopped and left me with his handprints all over my thighs. By the time I had another one, I was given propofol, I had 6 bad polyps removed. It’s been ten years and I have to do another one in 2 weeks and fortunately this dr will also use propofol. Please make sure your dr puts you to sleep for this. I handle pain better than most but that was torture that no one should endure.
I love your shows but I would listen more if you put markers in your videos, thank you so much...
Doc. I have had 50+ polyps removed in the last 10 years, yes I am a diabetic and grew up eating lots of lunch meat.
Great discussion, doctors! 👍I normally eschew multiple-speaker, “conversational” videos (too much “buddy-talk”) but both of you were excellent!
@Nello’s Nook. So much agree with you! These videos are long and, when the host and the guest go back and forth with their personal stories, etc., it is time taken away from the subject and an extension to their already long videos, as if us, viewers, have all the time in the world for that. It is a good thing to have a lively discussion, but they should keep their personal stories for another time.
@@leamaka2082
1. Thank you, Leamaka! 👍
2. I agree with your comments.
3. I’ve also opted to read the transcript provided instead of listening in real time to these discussions.
4. I can read faster than they talk.
5. TH-cam pays content providers according to several metrics.
6. One is the length of time a viewer continues watching the video.
7. I’m not accusing any content provider of intentionally prolonging their content, but it is a fact of the matter.
8. Thanks again for your response! 👍
Thank you for the information. I'm due ater 5 years since my last. I have almost all conditions to case polyps and had 4 within the last 10 years.
??? "cast polyps"?
Thanks so much for this topic.
I also find it amazing that the "broccoli family" didn't exist until about 500 years ago, and has really only been in the US diet for about 100 years. What a coincidence that a whole plant family that we invented could literally be so beneficial???
Zero, fibre is crap that you don’t need.

I recently had my third colonoscopy. I had three small polyps . Two were benign, one had the potential of possibly becoming cancer in time. Of course, they removed all three. I am to return in three years. DO NOT BE AFRAID OF HAVING A COLONOSCOPY. It is no big deal. Seriously, I have had way more uncomfortable nail appointments.
Thank you. Very informative
I had a large tumour colon removed and chemo 5 years ago at age 50....I am (and always gave been) very slim, very fit, vegetarian, non smoker, non drinker, female. (Also a similar friend had the same). So none of the precursors...fat, meat eater, male, over 60 etc etc. There is something else causing these polyps in younger vegetarian, fit females....numbers increasing yearly even in 20 year olds.
Absolutely correct. Please read the book titled “Dr. Mary’s Monkey.” It is a fascinating read and will blow you away as to why the SV40 virus vaccine (for polio) in the ‘50’s is the reason 1 out of three people (boomers) are getting cancer in soft tissues ( breast and prostate).
Microbiome, perhaps! Population wide dysbiosis is a thing :(
Even though you are vegetarian, do you and your friends eat heavily processed, preserved(tin foods) or chemically engineered foods??? We are herbivores by nature, our dentition and digestive tract clearly indicates this... Real and whole foods are always best. Wishing you guys good health and long life...

Plastics and micro plastics in the water !! Get the best filter for water....
Great information 👍
Im very concerned that many doctors do not take colonoscopies seriously.
I have not eaten red meat for 45 years. I have also adopted a very fiber dense diet for decades as well. I am 70 and I just had a colonoscopy. A precancerous polyp was found, removed, and biopsied. So I think claiming that the diet can reduce your risk of colon cancer is a bit fallacious.
A single one was found. Who’s to say if you ate lots of meat you wouldn’t have tons more or worse?!
@@yormosi-6251 okay... I get your point... the important message is not so much what button got pushed to make that one polyp go rogue... kind of moot..and that one polyp... if I had been squimish or even lazy about getting a colonoscopy... then I would have ended up with colon cancer and an early death... why did that one go rogue?? Who knows!! Or maybe I might have had multiples from eating to much red meat... or from drinking too much alcohol... or from smoking cigarettes for decades.... I am just glad I checked the colonoscopy box... and am here to encourage others to do the same... if you are over 40, then put it at the top of your "to-do" list...
Red meat does not cause cancer.
The problem is you ate the wrong thing. Eat red meat and skip vegetables.
Re signing for newsletter, once a month is doable, once a week is too much. Because many of us are flooded by newsletters n junk mails even without subscription. Thank you.
Fasting should also mitigate any damage that may cause cancer.
What spices do you use that would be safe for IBS-C?
I had one around 40 and had no polyps in mine thankfully
If you were to do an interview with Gabor Mate on illness, that would be amazing! He teaches on the emotional component of illness. Thank you for all you do, Dr. Hyman!
I would be all over having those two together!! 🥰

Because of your video, I decided to stop delaying a colonoscopy for many years and make a colonoscopy my 2023 New Year’s resolution. It was performed this morning. A small polyp was discovered, which was removed. Completely painless procedure. Thank you!
Glad your procedure was "completely" painless....mine was severe pain as the tube progressed :
couldn't help screaming in pain,....the sedation was far too weak...😢
@@rosemariemann1719 Yikes! So sorry to hear. I guess not all gastroenterologists are the same. Mine trained under one of the pioneers of the colonoscopy procedure and she doesn’t get aggressive.
@@rosemariemann1719 😬
@Rosemarie Mann fire & complain to your health company about the anesthesiologist. I did complain to Sutter Imaging about a anesthesiologist that gave me something that I couldn't open my eyes when I woke up & he left me with nurses. Bad doctor.
@@lindalopez7710 Thank you, Linda. Here in U.K., we don't ( yet , but they're working on it !😢)
have companies as in USA. I had no Anaesthesiologist, as such, just a tiny foreign nurse who gave me the gas and air tube ( like ladies having babies ?), saying , "Use this ...." That's all ! Then the 2 nurses present went to the far side of the room,out of sight , maybe to watch on CCTV ?
I drew in as much as possible, but it has almost no effect . Was wide awake and watching the monitor as the tube moved around...the operator with the tube I think was arabic : not sure ..he said NIL to me, not even " Hello", or " Good Day" - only , 2 short statements ...." .now we're going to the (" xyz" ...then " caecum" ) : 2 mighty pushes which made me scream in pain...The anaesthetic is supposed to dull that !!! Were they saving money, maybe ? I felt like an anonymous lump of meat ! The tube operator didn't even say "goodbye" , or " sorry I hurt you " 😢.
I would like to have this vital precautionary check, often, as there is a lot of cancer in my family...but can't face that pain again....
Thanks again for your reply.🙂.

Best video i ever watched
I'm 47. Had my first colonoscopy yesterday. The only thing irritating was the the clear liquid diet I had to keep leading up to the procedure.
Doc had to remove 3 big polyps. I was sedated through the whole thing.
Nothing ruptured or punctured as far as I know.
I expect a follow-up call next week with a full explanation.
Great info , thank you
Amazing advice
Butyrate is found in butter and of course producing ketones - Beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB).
How common perforation is, is probably either hard to discover or know for a fact.
I have had 2. The last one, I was given a fact sheet advising the risk of perforation was low
I had polyps that were detected and removed early, when they were small. If the polyps were allowed to remain, they would have grown and the operation to remove them would have been a very bad operation indeed
The risk of colon cancer and polyps is worth weighing against the small risk of the procedure to check if there are problems, is my view
Thank you for the info 🙂...I have changed my lifestyle... what I eat mostly... thanks again...
Grass fed filet mignon is good meat. I cook it til it's well done. However, I set the heat on low and add spices and lemon juice at the end part of cooking.
Thank you very much for unpacking the issue of polyps, diet and management. I was told my stools showed a pimple like growth in my colon and that I should undergo the colon test, but got scared and didn’t do it. However, I eat broccoli, pomegranate, flaxseed, chia seed, and green tea. What is your advice ? I’m in Africa.
High fiber diet is great unless you're already very constipated. You have to get the gut motility taken care of - otherwise it increases constipation. And of course increasing it slowly. Adding in Magnesium is helpful. And not having methane gas - bloating.
Thank you for that innfor 37:18 mation
The extreme diet dont help
Carnivore, or vegan...
Are both wrong..
Red mest is ok, at times
You also need dark lesfy greens, and fasting
I’m hoping to be seen in this clinic but as for now they are all booked out got the year. Hope all those patient find healing. I will be waiting for them to call me if there’s any cancellation... I don’t know any other clinic like this here in Massachusetts.
How are chia seeds and quinoa as colon cancer preventatives?
I would never use Dr. Oz as a testimonial in attempt to add to your credibility.
Your comment does not make sense to me. Please explain your conclusion. (i.e., Why discount Dr. Oz?)
A person should include liver when they eat meat. Different nutrients are in each part of the animal.
My son passed away at the young age of 29 from colon rectal cancer, left a 2 year old son, and a 5 month old daughter.
Prayers for the family! I know how difficult this is. I have lost many family members to cancer.
So sorry😔. I’m waiting on results from my five polyp that I had removed last week…May God bless you and all in your family🙏🙏 sending you a hug and love
I'm so sorry for your loss. R.I.P.
5 stars ⭐️ thank you !
I am happy for having the opportunity to listen to your podcast. I have learned a lot from both of you today and will follow through. Thank you so much for sharing this life saving information. My doctor was an awesome woman who care and explained to me what to do to prevent the polyp. Unfortunately they keep returning. I look forward to receiving your newsletter. May God bless you both.
Used to love his work. Read two of his books
Can you share book name.
Are they helpfull in managing polyps
@@siddiquiuzma6740 I dont recommend Hyman stuff, I think he has lost his way. Watch Dr Ken Berry. The polyps are primarily from seed oils, grains, legumes and carbs. Go on a strict meat and fat diet (which is healthiest for everyone) and your polyps will clear (and so will most IBS and inflammation and other health and skin issues). Vegetable bother peoples bowels MUCH more then we know. I lost 60 pounds, got off 4 prescriptions cleared my skin, joint pain and brain fog. much more energy.
What are the optimum levels of butyrate from a stool test? I haven't seen this number anywhere. Thank you.
Hi Dr. Hyman,
I’m looking for Functional Medical doctors in the Northern Virginia /DC, that you can recommend? Please.
Fiber might be needed if one eats processed foods. I have no issues on a low-carb lifestyle taking no fiber supplements.
Thank you so very much...Doc..Tc & Godbls!💖🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Alot of nuance with the meat discussion, it also depends on what is PUT ON that meat. Nobody really eats meat by itself, there are usually other stuff that goes on it like ketchup, mayo etc.
How do those things influence the study? I think it's interesting.
Thank you for this information, but you forgot to mention people with ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease I myself suffer from colitis
Thank you very much, I am using Berberin, but it is not enough, I have to take Jardiance, German made, instead of Metformin, as well. Again, thank you. Nebli
Had my first colonoscopy. I was terrified because I thought it would be painful. I had conscious sedation and painkillers. I didn't feel a thing until the but at the end when they go round a corner. It lasted a fee seconds and felt like trapped wind. I have to go for another one to have a more complex polyp removed. Needless to say I'm very relieved I went for the initial colonoscopy and they discovered it.
Colonoscopies are dangerous procedures, but many MDs won’t talk about the dangers of them.
Perforation of the colon during colonoscopy is rare, much rarer than colon cancer. I've had a half dozen colonoscopies and have had no problems. I had one without anesthesia. I don't recommend that.
You need to sign a release of responsibility for a colonoscopy .So we have to figure out why.
FEAR can be dangerous also...
There’s danger every time you leave the house…nothing is without risk.
@@remmer7010 yes but to willingly lay down to slaughter is different. Why can’t ultra sounds and mri’s see polyps.
What colonoscopy prep do you recommend as a functional medicine dr? Also, my fears of the scope not being totally clean, can you put them to rest?
Great episode. Lots of good info. But seriously with the ads!! Geez 🙄
How can one have good gut health doing colonoscopies every 2-3 years ?
Thank you...
Interesting but charts or lists of useful probiotics, prebiotics would help. Even though I slowed speed Dr Hyman talks too fast. At normal speed Dr Boham enunciates and speaks at a moderated pace so she can be understood.
How do you feel about glucomannen for fiber? Thanks
Look up chia seeds and flax seeds. Insoluble fiber which the best kind of fiber. They both must be soaked at least 20 minutes prior to consuming.
Now if we can get the insurance companies on board with helping with follow up colonoscopies after benign polyps are found-because who can afford $6,000+ out of pocket every few years !?
Thank you 😊 💓
Can you prep for a colonoscopy with something other than Miralax. I heard the propylene glycol is very bad for you.
EXCELLENT!!!!
Are they really skin tags cause by high insulin?
I had my first at 64 only had one polyp now my bowel funtion has changed from very normal regular functions Im not sure if i will get another one
Which spices or marinades might i add to my store-bought chicken leg quarters - that when said chicken is baked, would greatly offset the dangerous meat industry 'toxins' that are inherrent in that bag of leg quarters? Thanks
great stuff
hi. docs! my nephew's 4th stage colon cancer damagd large intestine almost completely but i want to ask is there any treatment at this stsge?
It is very interesting how he got the statistics wrong or misrepresented them. I know that mean, median, and mode can confuse most people but they are not that difficult. Still, how many vegetables you eat is more important.
I was diagnosed Jan 2020 with stage IV colon cancer (after a routine colonoscopy at age 52). This was my second one (first at 38). I had no signs or symptoms. I have always been very active with an ideal BMI. I didn't smoke, and drank in moderation (low end). But I was addicted to sugar, and processed foods (removed most though during my 40's). Two years prior to the diagnosis, I had switched to vegan/whole food/plant based (almost no processed) food diet. I however, repressed my emotions and dealt with stress. I also dealt with long term effects of having mono (Epstein Barr) and herpes virus in my body (stress metre).
I am sorry you are going through this. How are you dealing with it now?
I'm sorry and shocked to read how well you've cared for yourself to have this diagnosis. I pray all is well, will be well. ⚘🧡
I want to use this medium to say a very big thank to #DROKOH who used his herme from HSV2

Oxalates need to be discussed for those that are sensitive to them. How they effect.
Thanks.
Keep BMI below 23, eating more fibre, avoiding processed food, sugar, fried food can reduce chances of such cancers.
So how do you measure butyrate in the stool. Is the test expensive, and is this something a "regular" lab could do? Since I had polyps I am concerned since I do not have another one until 2027
DR Hyman: I heard that taking calcium supplements cause colon polyps specially Sessile Serrated Polyp. What is your opinion on this?
