Lack of Human Evidence: Currently, there is no high-quality, clinical trial evidence in humans that confirms these drugs can cure cancer.
Risks: Relying on these, rather than conventional treatments, can be dangerous.
Expert Advice: Experts advise against self-medication with these drugs for cancer and recommend using them only under strict medical supervision.

I suspect you didn't have a colonoscopy Norbert... No offence.

I had a sigmoidoscopy a few years back, that was a sight surrounded by three nurses with your aris hanging out whilst the doctor pauses for a moment to allow you to f8art out all the air he's just pumped you up with, I'd take that over an endoscopy any day though, horrendous, 15 minutes of constant urging as the camera hits the gag reflex spot in your throat

Also only once had an endoscopy - or at least would have done, if I'd been able to - gagged so bad they thought I was going to have a heart attack. So they went for x-ray instead as method!

Never had colonoscopy, but I think I'd actually prefer that, even though a tad embarrasing.

On a Colonoscopy, they medicate you the night before to clear your system, sounds ok but is very disturbing.. Starts with the shts! then you sht a lot more... when you think you're empty, you sht some more and more... then when you've convinced yourself you're definitely empty.. You sht some more... Hopefully you make it to the lav every time.. But I bet you don't!.. After the procedure is done, you'll still be randomly shtting yourself for hours!.. Apart from that, It's not too bad.

Only this season though...there are limits

Had an endoscopy and went for the drugs. I saw the camera about to go into my mouth and the next thing I knew, I woke up in a bed. Apparently you're not asleep at all, but I didn't recall any of it. By the time I woke (iirc) it was only about 15 minutes later, give or take. I felt fine after that.

As for the colonoscopy, I woke (or was aware) midway through and did not like it at all. Panicked and was held down by several doctors until again, I woke up in bed recalling little more. Sadly I wasn't "clean" enough and they had to do it again. I woke again, freaked out and it was aborted.

Ended up having a barium meal instead.

Emitdeb I know what examination I had.

Had about 6 endoscopies Numb the throat with spray ,  they dont bother me at all once they get past the choke point ,  just feels strange the camera moving about inside

As for the Colonoscopy , Between sitting on the pot for hours the Night before and the procedure itself  , dreadful, I inhaled the nitrous oxide that helped
