It really frightens me that they do something like this when we are unconscious! What else are they doing to us? I turned down a colonoscopy yesterday, and have instructed my daughters to do so as well. Unfortunately, my son is so sick these precedures are unavoidable if he needs care - they seem to be the only thing gastroenterologists know how to use to diagnose anything. Sticking things in and irradiation. I wish I had never gotten started with them. I'm pretty sure he and one of my daughters (also diagnosed vry young) would be much healthier if we had stayed away from them. My eldest daughter (who had her vaccines much later than the other two because her pediatrician was cautious) was diagnosed at age 19, went straight to diet and lifestyle changes, and has not had further problems. She refuses to get another colonoscopy. I'm running my own study here, and I'm the control group.

Modern medicine has done so much damage - they can do good as well, but until they get to the point of realizing that meds aren't everything and work with the whole being instead of with a symptom, we are in a big mess.
And they used to sterilize women (of color and native American) without their knowledge. This has been going on for a long time!
Exactly. I am sure the activity has not stopped. And this one was written into so-called healthcare law to make it legal. We need to stop thinking our departments of health are working for us.
Or any departments for that matter.
That said, I am sure that many of the "laws" are done with good intention - someone thinking they know better what is good for us. And I am not totally against laws since people seldom do the right thing if they can get away with more profitable or more self-serving things. But I don't like anyone to be so deep in my business...
Do I dare ask "why not" the colonoscopy...? I had one at age 50. Husband's had two now, one every five years, due to having polyps removed after the first one. Second time, he got a clean bill of health.
Because they are highly unpleasant experiences that waste two or three days of my life and I feel no need for one. For my kids, who all have crohn's disease, I have found colonoscopies trigger crohn's flares. Stay away from doctors and their sadistic tests is my policy and I am sticking with it.
