Is there a need for virtual colonoscopies? In fact, is there a need for any colonoscopies in asymptomatic people? There is a lot of controversy on this topic. The advantage of virtual colonoscopy is that it is easier for the patient, but it also delivers a hefty dose of radiation and often required a regular colonoscopy if there are abnormal findings.

Screening for Colon Cancer

No one wants to get colon cancer and colonoscopy has been touted to be the best way to find asymptomatic precanceous and cancerous lesions of the colon that could be lifesaving. This makes logical sense, however, the United States Preventive Services Task Force in now questioning this test for healthy people who have no GI symptoms.

$Vitamin D3 Protects Against Viruses, Cancer, and Autoimmunity A report in the journal, Journal of Leukocyte Biology, showed that levels of vitamin D3 below 20 ng/ml led to a higher incidence of viral infections, cancer, and autoimmune disorders. This, of course, suggests that supplementing with vitamin D3 could help prevent or treat these conditions. Low levels of vitamin D3 lead to higher production of antibodies (the Th 2 immune system), but lower levels of cell mediated immunity (the Th 1 immune system) that we need to fight viral infections, certain cancers, and autoimmune diseases. With the epidemic of vitamin D deficiency, it is especially important that we replace people who are ill, especially in our hospitals, with vitamin D3 supplementation. Levels of vitamin D3 below 20 ng/ml leads to a higher risk of fractures, heart attacks, cancer, and all cause mortality, especially in the elderly. For more information, visit http://doctorsaputo.com$
