The damage that the human body can survive these days is as awesome as it is horrible: crushing, burning, bombing, a burst blood vessel in the brain, a ruptured colon, a massive heart attack, rampaging infection. These conditions had once been uniformly fatal.
If you bend a branch until it's horizontal, the sap will slow to a stopping point: a comma or colon, made of leaves grown into one another and over one another and hardened.

We can reduce these cancer rates - breast cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer - by 90 percent or more by people adopting what I call a nutritrarian diet.
The state of the health of the individual is equivalent to the state to the health of the colon.
Coffee is already known to be a preventive factor against mild depression, Parkinson's disease, and colon and rectal cancers.

Once colon cancer becomes symptomatic, nine times out of ten it is too late.
