Cut 2 major risk factors for one of today’s DEADLIEST cancers
They’re acting like it’s some BIG puzzle… a real head-scratcher… and a medical mystery of the first degree.
That’s the STUNNING rise in colorectal cancers.
Many forms of cancer are plunging. But NOT this one!
It’s on the rise across nearly every age group — even among those who never had to worry about this disease before (a.k.a. younger folks).
Now, the latest research reveals a possible reason why modern medicine ISN’T looking very hard for answers.
When it comes down to it… they’re CAUSING this problem!
How modern ‘care’ is CAUSING cancer
Anytime a disease like this rises suddenly and dramatically… it’s a sure sign to me there is something in modern life behind the jump.
And that’s exactly what’s going on here.
The first new study finds that every mainstream doctor’s favorite drug is leading to a SURGE in colorectal cancers.
It’s the med they turn to when they don’t know where to turn: antibiotics.
Got a cough? A rash? A wound? Just feeling crummy?
If the doc can’t figure out what’s wrong in the little time the insurance companies allow him to spend with you (they want him to see 1 patient every 11 minutes)…
He’ll likely prescribe an antibiotic and send you on your way.
They figure if it’s an infection, the drug will make it go away. If it’s NOT an infection, it’ll go away on its own in most cases anyway.
No harm, no foul, right?
Well, friend, turns out there are harms APLENTY…
And not just in the side effects that can send you rushing for the toilet… or the secondary infections that could send you to the ICU.
The new study finds antibiotic use before the age of 50 increases the odds of colorectal cancer by 49%.
Fact is, any antibiotic use – even a single treatment – can lead to PERMANENT changes in the gut flora, a.k.a. the delicate balance of microbes down in your digestive tract.
You can help RESTORE that balance by eating plenty of fermented foods… like yogurt and sauerkraut (although I’d humbly suggest not at the same time)…
And taking a probiotic supplement.
And that’s NOT the only modern lifestyle risk factor for colon cancer.
A second new study finds that following mainstream advice and hiding from the sun… or coating yourself in sunscreen until you’re paler than a ghost… can also lead directly to this disease.
Overall, lower levels of exposure to the sun’s UVB rays lead to a higher risk of colorectal cancers – likely because avoiding UVB also stops your body from producing vitamin D.
I’d suggest two steps here:
1. Get 10-20 minutes of sun exposure daily
2. Take a vitamin D supplement every day.
These aren’t the ONLY factors, mind you — just the two most recent studies.
If I had to name the BIGGEST factor of all, I’d go with the modern diet.
It’s DEVOID of the healthy fiber needed protect the digestive tract… LACKS cancer-fighting nutrients…
And is just LOADED… and I mean absolutely BRIMMING with… toxic chemicals linked to cancer and other major health problems.
Get back to basics with your diet…
And you’ll be surprised at how many lingering ailments… from pain to brain fog to sleep disorders… will quickly fade, and how fast your risk of major chronic diseases will plunge.
