@mdking123 interesting read. I was lucky with my colon re-section. Found early, no spread, so lost some length of my colon and my gallbladder. That was kind of a mystery. My surgeon didn’t say anything about removing my gallbladder. Learned it while in the hospital when the nurses were changing shifts and reporting to each other. I have since read that there is thought or a connection between re-occurring cancer and the gallbladder. Guess, he was just giving me a better outcome (?). I have always thought what you eat directly effects your body and quality of life. But cancer is abnormal cells and we are made up of cells. So, a clean diet and alternative methods can only go so far. I remember my Mom told me years ago anytime you mess with your natural rhythm, you will “pay the piper” down the line. Apparently, she was way ahead of her time and taught me a lot about food, lifestyle and taking care of myself (in general). I always think about what she said when I am making a health/medical decision. virgo
Immunotherapy is the use of medicines to help a person’s own immune system better recognize and destroy cancer cells. Immunotherapy can be used to treat some people with advanced colorectal cancer. Integrative medicine, which is a combination of medical treatments for cancer and complementary therapies to cope with the symptoms and side effects, is increasingly offered at premiere cancer centers around the world, including Mayo Clinic.
When considering complementary or alternative treatments, be open-minded yet skeptical and do your research. Learn about the potential benefits and risks. Here is an article from Mayo Clinic that might interest you about evaluating claims made by the producers and/or sellers of supplements, natural products and other alternative medicines. http://mayocl.in/2tGC0Jp
Here is just one article examining the claims made by Chris Wark:

"There’s no scientific evidence that proves or disproves that coffee enemas are helpful to treat any medical condition. Evidence for or against the use of coffee enemas is mostly anecdotal. In mainstream medicine, colon cleansing is considered unnecessary because your body’s digestive system is capable of getting rid of waste, toxins, and bacteria on its own."
