The development of colon cancer occurs slowly and is more prominent in the elderly than the young?
usually six or more somatic mutations must occur to give rise to the cancer, which takes time.
Can I take my bisacodyl tablets at noon the day before my colonoscopy exam?
Yes, it should have done its job by the time the colonoscopy is scheduled for.
But please check. Your doctor or whoever is doing the procedure will normally have given you a program to prepare for a colonoscopy. This usually involves a special 'low residue' diet for a few days, ending with clear fluids like jello and consomme the day before the procedure. Included in the preparatory program you should find special laxatives.
Don't take the bisacodyl if you have been following such a program, as you will have too much laxative and it can affect the special salts in the body called electrolytes.

What is the difference between small and large cell cancer?
My husband was just diagnosed with secondary liver cancer. I would like to know what is the difference between small cell and larger cell cancer.
This is refering to small cell and large cell lung cancer, so I don't know how helpful it'll be:
Small cell lung cancer is called this because the cancer cells are small cells that are mostly filled with the nucleus. Small cell cancer spreads early on, so radiotherapy, rather than surgery, is suggested.
Large cell lung cancer is called this because the cells look large and rounded. This type of cancer spreads more quickly.

Can you get colon cancer from not eating vegetables?
While eating vegetables is the best way to TRULY keep your body the healthiest it can be, it's not directly related to causing colon cancer. However, you should know that there are MANY publications on the effects of red meat causing colon, and other cancers. You might want to take that into consideration if you eat no veggies, and lots of meat.
By not eating veggies you deprive your body of essential vitamins that even supplements can't really make up. Lack of vitamins causes imbalances in your body. Cancer is mutagen cells that replicate over and over, and can be caused from hormonal imbalances.
It is when the large intestine is longer than it should be. Surgery can be used in order to fix the problem.
When on a colon cleanse what kind of food should you eat?
During a colon cleanse you should eat lots of fresh, raw fruits and vegetables. Raw fruits and vegetables have enzymes in them which promote digestion. They also contain higher amounts of fiber than their cooked counterparts. A person who is in relatively good health should consume between 60% and 100% raw fruits and vegetables while cleansing. You should also make sure that you are getting enough dietary fiber 25-40 grams per day. This can be done with foods or supplements.

What you put into your body has a huge impact on your colon and digestion. In order to have a happy colon, you need to eat colon-healthy foods! Here are some of my favorite things to eat and drink that will cheer up a clogged colon:
- Fruits and veggies - always, always necessary for good health!
- Whole grains - I am partial to honey whole wheat bread.
- Tons of water - water is a cleansing substance: you use it to wash your hair, so why wouldn't you ingest it to clean your colon?
- Nuts and peanut butter - tons of protein here!
- Oil and vinegar dressing - so much better for you than the other stuff.
- Fresh fish - I could definitely go for some salmon or tuna right now…
- Corn on the cob - fantastic for the colon!
Does sodium lauroyl sarcosinate cause cancer or have any negative side effects?
Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate has the same initials as sodium lauryl sulfate, and the same risks.
The answer is simple - it is cheap. The sodium lauryl sulfate found in our soaps is exactly the same as you would find in a car wash or even a garage, where it is used to degrease car engines.
In the same way as it dissolves the grease on car engines, sodium lauryl sulfate also dissolves the oils on your skin, which can cause a drying effect. It is also well documented that it denatures skin proteins, which causes not only irritation, but also allows environmental contaminants easier access to the lower, sensitive layers of the skin.
Perhaps most worryingly, SLS is also absorbed into the body from skin application. Once it has been absorbed, one of the main effects of sodium lauryl sulfate is to mimic the activity of the hormone Oestrogen. This has many health implications and may be responsible for a variety of health problems from PMS and Menopausal symptoms to dropping male fertilityand increasing female cancers such as breast cancer, where oestrogen levels are known to be involved.
