  • The difference between enemas & colonics - featured as Oprah & Dr. Oz

  • Dr. Richard T. Bosshardt explains the difference between colonics & enemas: details about the methods.

    The theory behind colonic cleansing relies on several fallacious assumptions:one is that colon function regularity equates with health. Another fallacy is that the colon essentially is a sewer where food waste sits and putrefies, producing toxins that are absorbed and can make us sick. The topic was featured at Oprah & Dr. Oz.

  • Basketball fingers, colonic enemas & fat

  • Why basketball players have big hands, or people with big hands play basketball. And why some people voluntarily participate in intense physical exertion, and other don't.

  • Researchers: Colon Cancer Vaccine on the Horizon

  • Researchers hope that a protein found in the intestines could lead to the discovery of a vaccine for colon cancer, Reuters reported Tuesday. A study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute detailed how mice were immunized with the protein and subsequently infected with colon tumors.

    These mice had fewer tumors spread to the lung and liver than usual. Unvaccinated animals had an average of 30 new tumors in the lungs and liver, compared to the vaccinated mice that had three new tumors, researchers said. Colon cancer affects 1.2 million people in the world each year and kills 130,000.

  • Vitamin D may prolong survival

  • Vitamin D has been linked to numerous health benefits: Several studies have suggested that it may help prevent the progression of diseases like osteoporosis and multiple sclerosis. Now, research from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute reveals that vitamin D may also may reduce mortality from colon cancer.

    Vitamin D helps to shuttle the calcium we eat from the gut to the rest of the body. However, it probably also acts as a conductor of a cellular orchestra - telling our cells when to grow and when to stop dividing. If the body becomes deficient of vitamin D, cellular division may go awry, leading to cancer development. Lead researcher Dr. Kimme Ng and colleagues decided to investigate whether patients with higher levels of vitamin D in their blood had lower rates of mortality from colon cancer.

  • The Six Unfunniest Leisure Suit Larry Moments

  • The Joke: Larry goes into the "High Colonic Room" expecting s e x, and a woman attaches an unconventional machine to his colon. Certainly, an unexpected colonic could yield hilarious results, but no attempt was made to set this up as the joke. In fact, Larry's surprise at getting a colonic from the colonic doctor was more confusing than anything. It would be like writing a joke about a guy who has s e x with his male friend Mike and then he flips out because his male friend Mike turns out to be a dude!

    Luckily, in this game, the confusingly surprising ass wash isn't the focus of the comedy. No, the joke comes afterward when Larry leaves and says, "I don't feel so pooped anymore." To which the doctor responds, "You're also not so full of sheet." In a variation of this type of humor, you might tell a fellow third grader to have a "GRRReat Valentine's Day."

  • NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Current dietary guidelines are on the right track when it comes to colorectal cancer prevention, new research from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) confirms.

  • Don't be embarrassed to address colon and rectal problems

  • Most people are uncomfortable or embarrassed talking about problems "down there." But millions of Americans suffer needlessly from anal and rectal symptoms such as pain, bleeding, and changes in bowel habits - assuming that these are simply due to "hemorrhoids" and believing the only relief is with over-the-counter remedies.

    Unfortunately, more serious conditions such as anal abscess,fistula, fissure and even colorectal cancer can cause similar symptoms. It is important to talk to your doctor about anal symptoms, such as bleeding, pain, or change in bowel habits, because these symptoms may actually be due to more serious conditions.

  • Simon Singh has upset many people with his damning views on holistic treatment. Claire Sawers asks if he has his finger on the pulse of alternative therapy

    Don't get Simon Singh started on reiki massage. And as for ear candles or oxygen therapy, that's just one new age, hocus-pocus step too far for the science journalist. Singh, a doctor of particle physics and author of science tomes including The Big Bang and The Code Book, has tackled what he calls "the Wild West of health care" in his latest work, a cross between a handbook and history guide to alternative medicine.

  • Exercise lowers risk of colon cancer

  • "Patients may not be learning this information from their health-care providers and information regarding colon cancer prevention is not as well publicized as it could be," Coups said in a new release from the Center for the Advancement of Health.

    Doctors may find it easier to tell patients about the general health benefits of exercise, rather than specifically referring to colon cancer, even if a patient has a family history of colon cancer or other risk factors for the disease. More benefits could accrue from higher levels and more intense exercise, such as jogging, running or tennis. To some extent, more may be better, but it is important to note that a little is much better than nothing," Giovannucci said in the news release.

  • Confessions by a party girl

  • When you're hosting a party, as I am this week, there's only one rule to follow: steal the spotlight and steal it well. All good in theory, but when it's winter and you're carrying a few more kilos than you'd like, that spotlight better be bloody wide.

    The party frock is sitting snugger than I remember it when I tried it on in the fitting room. A lot more snug. And not in that Emily-I'm-all-cutesy-gorgeous-woman-Barclay way where her bosoms pert like a couple of juicy cantaloupe. Mine look more like a couple of molten boulders spilling forth from Mt Vesuvius in aforementioned frock. Drastic times call for drastic measures. I rounded the troops for a quick fix strategy. The former model suggested a colonic irrigation.

  • Health has long been an area beset by superstition and spurious claims, and despite our medical advances, some common myths persist. By Johanna Leggatt

    Health mantra: detoxifying the body is the ultimate path to wellbeing

But according to Dr Simon Singh and Dr Edzard Ernst in their book, Trick or Treatment: Alternative Medicine on Trial, the human body is well equipped with organs that are marvelous at detoxifying what we put in our bodies.

  • New Pharmacological Approach For Colon Cancer Treatment

  • A team of scientists at the Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS), a research institute of the Asian city-state's Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), and the University of California at San Francisco have developed a pharmacological approach to kill colon cancer cells.

The team is now working with other A*STAR research institutes and industry partners for the development of potential drug candidates based on this technology.
