I can personally attest to the brutality of the colonoscopy. Ten years ago I was having some digestive issues and resorted to contacting my Dr, who after a quick visit, she referred me to a GI specialist who recommended the scope, both upper and lower. This was long before the plandemic and my awakening to the “madical”establishment as you so often state Ray. The prep is awful but the procedure seemed ok as the knocked me out completely in order to do the upper scope. A few issues were found on the upper, nothing major on the lower. I figured it was a piece of cake. The GI dr prescribed PPIs for reflux and hiatus hernia and that was that. About a month into the PPIs the gut pain was extremely bad so I started some research on my own and once my eyes opened to see how bad the poison I was taking twice daily was, I promptly weaned myself off them and vowed to stay away from the Drs. Fast forward to early 2023 and some concerning issues had developed.. again a colonoscopy was scheduled, prep was devastating this time and I almost backed out of the procedure. At my wife’s suggestion to just get it over with, I went and had it done. This time it was with the GI/ general surgeon and done under conscious sedation.. meaning you’re wide awake but unable to do anything about what is happening to you. Let me say it was the worst experience of my life to that point. I could not believe how hard he was pushing and forcing the scope through the twists and turns. The assisting nurse was pushing on my abdomen in the opposing direction to hold me on the table and I think to keep the scope from punching through my gut like the creature from the Alien movie! She was aware of the horrified look on my face and kept calmly saying “almost at the end.. some tight corners in there”! It was at that moment that I thought, if they tell me that there’s no cancer, Im outta here and never looking back, which was the case. Things were not right for at least a year following that procedure and still aren’t 100%, but with a clean diet (that works for me), no prescription medication of any kind, no “supplements” of any kind and being in nature to exercise (when the skies are blue) I am feeling much better.

I often wondered after that procedure if it is like that for everyone, was it just the barbaric Dr doing the procedure or perhaps because my chart read that I didn’t fall for the convid “protocols” that the Dr made it as uncomfortable as possible for me as a sign. I guess I will never know. What I do know is that the scrap of faith I had in the medical establishment was tossed into the trash that day!

Thanks for the links Ray!

An ALL DAY READ Ray but damned worth it. I've been suspicious of ANYTHING the medical industrial complex (MIC) recommends for 3 yrs now when I started losing my confidence that everything the MIC stands for is a profit mechanism.

I shunned my health insurer's colonoscopy reminders/urgings and have no regrets. For one thing I was put off by the offices that performed these procedures and the dead-looking personnel they employed. Add to that, they demanded that I be led by the hand to and from the clinic by a trusted person who they would approve. Wouldnt let me be delivered and fetched by a LYFT or UBER driver. They wanted me to know they know what's best for me, not me. As I began to read more and more about how our 'esteemed' medical establishment wants to control every aspect of our lives (for their profit), I became more and more cynical of anything they prescribed.

Thanks for the report Ray, its a tome but I'll get thru it.
