What are the possible signs that someone might have colon cancer?

Doctor:

"Anyone 50 years or older should have a colonoscopy each 5 years. Colon cancer does not have symptoms immediately, some signs may include swelling of the intestine or rectum, rectal bleeding, bloating, extremely foul smelling stools, but these are just a few more obvious. Occult stool test is a good diagnostic tool, I have special immunodiagnostic tests unique to Immunology. Coffee enemas are very helpful. Prevention is very sound approach. Eat red meat for lunch and chicken and fish for dinner, eat a lot of vegetables steamed if you have digestive problems. Please call me for appointment."

Reply
: Thanks. What if the test comes back positive? and are there any options?
Doctor: If it comes back positive then you should see a surgical oncologist, and also make an appointment with me.

Is Hashimotos thyroiditis inherited? And can iodine help this condition?

Doctor:

"In some case this condition can be prevented if Iodine Iodide is used as a preventive measure. Both Hashimoto and Graves disease may benefit with Iodine. Hashimotos Thyroiditis does often run in families, some of it may be predominately due to life style. As children often imitate the habits of parents. If a patient does not have sufficient levels of Iodine Iodide, the free T3 and T4 become impaired. T3, T4 means thyroxin with 3 or 4 Iodine molecules. If the body does not have thyroiodineperoxidase, it has thyrobromoperoxidase leading to cancer and numerous disease, especially Hashimotos."

: I feel better the past few days, thank you.What about iodine supplements?
Doctor: Iodoral 50 mg. is what I recommend for all adult patients. SMC Pharmacy at 1908 Santa Monica Blvd. Santa Monica carries it. This is a better quality as it contains both Iodine and Iodide. You can make an appointment, I do Iodine excretion tests, to determine your level of Iodine and Halide toxin.

What foods should I avoid to starve the mold out of my body? Or is there a faster way to make the mold go away?

Doctor:

"This is a very good question. Mold itself does not accumulate in the human body. Mold produces spores and these spores produce mycotoxins. These mycotoxins numerous symptoms: headaches, itchy eyes, upper respiratory problems and runny nose are just a few symptoms most common. You can contact a mold remediation company to come in and do testing, or if you think you have mold then purchase a mold kit at either Lowes or Home Depot. Put the kit in the room you suspect you have mold. Most likely areas are areas that have had water leaks. Check everywhere for black mold growing on walls, cabinets"

What causes gallstones and how is it possible to get rid of them?? Thank you in advance Dr. Barnes

Doctor:

"Gall Stone are caused by the cholesteral that is stored in the bile ducts of the liver hardening and creating small calcules that collect in the gallbladder can not passing through the cystic duct . There are ways to cleanse the liver but it is important to be evaluated by a physician the specializes in complimentary medicine like my self. I work with cleansing the body in a safe supervised way. Please make an appointment at (323) 332-9871 and specify Dr. Barnes and tell them this is an Immunology consult."

Reply
: Thank you, we're traveling right now though. Is there any temporary relief?
Doctor: Avoid alcohol, fried food, dairy and grains and legums, these can trigger inflamation. Avoid raw vegetables. Stick to soups with meat and lots of veggies. Don't over eat, eat only until you are satisfied. Take 3 TBL of virgin cold pressed olive and drink it 3 times per day. Some time this will allow the stones to pass through the duct. Make an appointment with me right away when you get home and I will get rid of your stones, but first I have to evaluate you.
