According to The Cancer Research Foundation of America as many as 30 to 40 percent of the population over 50 have pre-cancerous adenomatous polyps in the colon and rectum. Nearly all colorectal cancer develops from these benign growths, which often can be removed during sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy screening procedures. Yet fewer than four in ten adults over 50 now get the necessary screening for colorectal cancer, according to the Minnesota study.
EZ Detect, a Simple At Home Test for Hidden Blood in the Stool could be your answer. When these benign growths are present, there may be hidden (occult) blood in the stool. At the earliest stages of colorectal cancer blood is present in such small amounts that it is not visible to the eye.
The EZ DETECT™ Stool Blood Test is a revolutionary and sanitary home test requiring no stool handling. The user simply drops a test tissue into the toilet and if blood is present, a blue-green color will appear within two minutes. In addition, no diet restrictions are required either before or during testing because Vitamin C and rare meat have no effects on the test results.
