Maybe it's the American love of red meat, maybe it's genetics. Either way you slice however, colon cancer (colon CA) is in the public eye as one the most common types of cancer in the U.S. today. With over 130,000 new cases identified each year, your chances are about 1 in 6, of getting the disease sometime during your life. If you have a primary relative, parent or sibling, with a hereditary form of colon cancer, your chances of getting colon CA is much higher. How much higher? In some cases, such as colon cancer associated with Lynch syndrome, the chances of developing hereditary colon cancer from a genetic donor parent is a whopping 90-100%! (Lynch syndrome is only associated with about 3-5% of all colon cancer however). So, now that we have a group of patients with a known level of cancer predictability, we have news of a miracle drug that can significantly lower the risk of developing colon cancer. This drug is known as acetylsalicylic acid, or plain old aspirin.
After testing and following an 1100 person test group of patients with Lynch syndrome, researchers came to the conclusion that there was indeed a significant long term drop in colon and endometrial CA. Half of the group was given a placebo, and the other half was given a daily dose of 600mg of aspirin. That's equivalent to two adult aspirin tablets. After about 2.5 years, the data showed no significant difference in the cancer rate, but after 4 years, there were only 6 cases of colon cancer in the aspirin group. That's in contrast to the 16 cases of persons with Lynch syndrome, that took the placebo, and developed colon cancer.
There is some thought that aspirin acts as a COX-2 inhibitor, which is a similar action in some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory pain medications. COX-2 is a co-enzyme found in high levels in tumors and is involved in cell growth and cell division. Therefore if we stunt the cancer cell growth and division, we stunt the development of tumors. There is still a lot of research and studies to do before your gastroenterologist or oncologist will recommend this regimen for you, but hey, its only aspirin. People with cardiovascular disease take it daily in small doses, (81mg). There is a higher risk of bruising and bleeding with daily aspirin as it causes the your blood platelets to not be as "sticky", but it just may be worth that risk. Who would have thought that this wonder drug invented in Germany in 1897 would have so many uses?

If you are concerned about the possibility of developing uterine cancer, one of the ways you can ease your mind is by know about and watching for, the symptoms associated with it.
The following are the most common symptoms of uterine cancer. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently.
Symptoms may include:
- Unusual vaginal bleeding or discharge.
- Difficult or painful urination.
- Pain during sexual intercourse.
- Pain in the pelvic area.
- A pelvic lump.
- Weight loss.
- Has never breast-fed.
As has been written in a previous article, uterine cancer does not occur before menopause. It usually occurs around the time menopause begins. The occasional reappearance of bleeding should not be considered simply part of menopause. It should always be checked by a physician.
The symptoms of uterine cancer may resemble other conditions or medical problems such as cervical cancer and dysfunctional uterine bleeding. Always talk to your doctor if these symptoms persist or worsen.
The main symptom to look for is abnormal vaginal bleeding, especially after menopause as it is the most common symptom of uterine cancer. Bleeding may start as a watery, blood-streaked flow that gradually contains more blood. About 20 out of 100 women who have abnormal bleeding after menopause have uterine cancer. This means that 80 out of 100 do not get uterine cancer. The most accurate way to diagnose whether or not you have uterine cancer is through a biopsy. In this test, the doctor removes a small sample of the lining of the uterus to look for cancer cells.

Colon Cancer is a killer and about the only way to prevent it from killing you early in life is to detect it in the beginning stages in order to treat it. There are many foods you can eat to keep your colon working well and keep out the bad bacteria build up. Eating right and staying away from vices can help you prevent colon cancer. Here is a concept, which may help kill unwanted harmful bacteria in the colon. This idea stems from the new advances and innovations of UV light to clean water. The only problem is how do you get light where the catch phrase says; ". . . Where the Sun Don't Shine," well here is a thought that perhaps some savvy science major, academic or innovative medical entrepreneur might want to look into?
UV Light is being used to kill bacteria in water filtration applications. It works so well many sewer treatment plants are using huge units to clear bacteria out of the water prior to allowing it to re-enter the ground water, river or ocean. Hospitals have also used UV light to kill bacteria; there are indeed so many applications for such technologies. Perhaps we ought to look into a small marble sized battery operated UV light Device. One, which can be ingested to clean out unwanted bacteria in the stomach and potentially prevent cancer as well. The small marble size device will pass thru the entire system into the stool, cleaning as it goes. Then the patient can merely eat some yogurt and other various things to put the good bacteria back into the system. I propose that the marble sized unit UV light flash a the best cycle for good bacteria and/or the worst cycle for bad bacteria. Ranges near or at 5-8 Hz.
There are many super small batteries, which can be used and the unit could be as small as an M & M candy or could be ingested with many of these little guys at a time on a relatively empty stomach. It will clean out the stomach, small intestines, large intestines and the colon using this UV light. It could be a very simple process and very inexpensive. Although it may not sound all too pretty the units could be used over and over again, by washing them in a set of small plastic containers and shaking them up. Similar to the old contact lenses; Saline solution and/or rubbing alcohol and then rinsing, turn them on and re-use or trade back into the doctors office for official service, recharging of batteries and complete sterilization. If you would like a more complete report on my idea, contact me.
