Dr Oz’s Colonic Polyp
In September of 2010 medical talk show celebrity Dr Mehmet Oz was found to have a colonic polyp Since polyps can be premalignant Mehmet was shocked(healthy guy who tries to be healthy by matter science standards) and understandably grateful that his profession prevented a possible malignancy from occurring
It was heralded as a significant event not only as colon cancer prevention but once again showed the matter science medical model's authentic value at finding disease in it's earliest stage
Screening Works
We may remember another celeb then President Ronald Reagan's colonic history in the 1980's He showed a couple of polyps in 1984 and 1985 which were removed with screening endoscopy
But then a muscle invading tumor in the cecum was removed in July 1985 after the polyp was removed in March 1985
Thereafter Reagan had no recurrence of polyps Screening colonoscopies have had an unprecedented impact on the late stages of colonic cancer just as PSA has had an impact on the discovery of prostate malignancies
Bad Luck Or Something Else
How do healthy guys like Oz and Reagan come up with colonic polyps?
"Heck everybody is going to get their turn Something's bound to turn up" The natural "bad luck" response would be appropriate to engage And even the energy science medical model would not dispute that sometimes predisposition to disease can happen
But the energy science medical model would also say that nutritional choices have to be factored into the causes of poor bowel health including the occurrences of polyp disease
Early Detection Versus Prevention
The article mentioned above ends with hoping for a "Dr Oz Effect", the author suggesting that screening colonoscopies are the panacea to preventing colon cancer
But is this really prevention?
Prevention implies that by so doing a test or procedure we prevent disease I don't think even MD's believe that Prevention from the matter science medical model can at best do early detection
The reason for this is that the biologic matter science model doesn't deal with the origins of disease Researchers believe that they get close with the understanding of molecular biochemistry but in the end their biologic model will never be able to get to the origin of diseases
The energy science medical model deals with the origin of disease which occurs at the level of the GI tract and 4 stages before it becomes manifest as a polyp in Dr Oz and Reagan's colon
