Joy is the strong, energetic type who enjoyed a daily run before starting her teaching job.

The incidence of colon cancer is quite varied among different countries and within different ethnic groups inside the same country. Industrialized countries like United States, Canada, UK, Western Europe, Australia and Japan have a much higher incidence of colorectal cancer compared to the less industrialized parts of the world like Asia, Africa, and South America. Colorectal cancer represent over 9 percent of all cancers in men and about 10 percent of all cancers in women world-wide. In industrialized countries the incidence of colorectal cancer can be as high as 12 to 14 of all cancers, and in non-industrialized countries much lower rates of about 7 to 8 percent of all cancers diagnosed may be colorectal cancer. http://adzines.com/Colon-Rectal-Cancer/Who-Is-More-Prone-To-Develop-Colorectal-Cancer/8362 Mon, 23 Jul 2007 23:12:27 GMT Some evidence from observation and studies seem to indicate that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can lower the risk of colorectal cancer. Does this mean you should take an aspirin every day to reduce your risk of colorectal cancer or prevent it? Well it could be said that it would help and research seems to point to that fact. Of course it would not have to be aspirin, it could be Motrin, Advil or a host of other such over the counter type drugs. http://adzines.com/Colon-Rectal-Cancer/Colorectal-Cancer-and-Pain-Killers/8361 Mon, 23 Jul 2007 23:12:27 GMT A recent study showed that taking aspirin could in fact reduce your risk of getting colon cancer. Although the study only involved data taking from a sampling of women, it appears that aspirin may possibly prevent colon cancer, or so they say? Aspirin is over 100-years old and appears to cure lots of things, yet many were shocked to learn of this latest finding, still other completely doubt the study. The study showed that people who already had polyps maybe able to prevent the onset of colon cancer thru regular use of aspirin. The researchers went on to extrapolate that it could help those without polyps from getting one in the first place. http://adzines.com/Colon-Rectal-Cancer/Aspirin-May-Prevent-Colon-Cancer-in-Women/8360 Mon, 23 Jul 2007 23:12:27 GMT One of the stories that has been bantered around after John Waynes death from Cancer was that at his autopsy they removed over 35 pounds of impacted fecal matter from his colon. http://adzines.com/Colon-Rectal-Cancer/The-Greatest-Benefit-of-Colon-Cleansing/8359 Mon, 23 Jul 2007 23:12:27 GMT Seventy percent or more of the population struggles with constipation.
