Is 19 too young for a colonoscopy?

Answer 1

Anyone can get any type of cancer depending on their level of overall health. When the immune system is not working properly (for whatever reasons), diseased cancer cells that develop in everyone are not immediately eliminated, and may go on to cause tumors. HIV AIDS is known to induce immunodeficiency. Progeria is a congenital / genetic illness where a person from time of birth exhibits rapid aging. With advanced age comes a deterioration in various biological functions that shall bring on secondary diseases including cancer, Heart disease, stroke, etc. Numerous heavy metal elements are known toxins; these can induce a malfunctioning of the immune system as well as cause death by themselves. Radioactive isotopes are usually heavy metals, and shall cause radioactive particle decay through the emission of ionizing (chemical bond breaking) electromagnetic radiation (photon / high-speed particle emissions) that can continually break and disrupt cellular DNA, and RNA, and mitochondrial DNA and RNA, that can lead to malignancy of the affected cells. Anyone of any age can be exposed to different kinds of ionizing radiation, and therefore have cancer develop. Chemical toxins can damage a person's health and immune systems so that diseases that normally would be suppressed are instead allowed to continue unabated. Trans fats, hydrogenated oils, and many processed foods are chemically altered to have a long shelf life. Because microbes and fungus are unable to use these processed foods and oils for food, this food does not spoil. However, humans may not be able to use this kind of oil for food either, and our cells then become more and more unable to metabolize sugars into energy via oxidation. Instead, our cells may revert to a cancerous state where sugars are metabolized via fermentation into energy. According to studies consumption of trans fats can likely lead to heart troubles, obesity, Diabetes, etc. An unhealthy diet consisting of known health risks shall push any healthy person towards ill-health--bit by bit. Alternative medicine attempts to treat the underlying causes of disease rather than the symptoms. Allopathic medicine is mainstream medicine. Mainstream medicine tends to treat symptoms of diseases with surgery (cutting), radiation (burning), and drugs (patentable poisons). All sorts of variously effective cancer cures have been suppressed by mainstream medicine so that money can be made by drug companies, the cancer industry, and medical insurance companies. If people were treated with an inexpensive, natural cure that they could grow in their back yard, then all of these industries would lose a lot of money. To protect them, health protection agencies have been established to protect the drug companies from any such unregulated competition by jailing the offenders-persons making "unproven health claims" whose cures actually work and whose patients are alive and well decades post-treatment. The industrialists who promoted such government health protection legislation own all of the industries who would be harmed by any natural cures, and they sponsor grants to universities, medical colleges, scientific research, they publish medical journals or the journals get all of their advertising revenue from the industrialists' companies, they donate to political parties to grease the wheels to get legislation written that suits their needs rather than the public's.

yes, anyone can have colon cancer regardless of age....cancer doesn't care how old you are, in any circumstance...
