Home test now available for colon cancer screening
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
The medical community is beginning to endorse the at-home screening tool called the FIT, short for fecal immunochemical test, to test for colon cancer.
Colon cancer kills 50,000 Americans a year.
But it's also one of the most preventable cancers, if caught early.
Now there is an easier way to detect colon cancer early.
This is not a test you have to do in the hospital or doctor's office.
It's a home test and it's easy.
It's also more accurate than earlier home tests for colon cancer, so now there's no reason not to get screened.
Jewelry designer and single-mom Juanita Addeo has never been tested for colon cancer.
More than 40 million Americans who should get tested don't -- due to the cost, the "ick" factor, fear or time.
But a new at-home screening tool, called the fecal immunochemical test -- or FIT -- is turning heads in the medical community because of its advanced technology and ease of use.
