Why, Bare, in a nutshell, what does the book have to say on the subject? I'm just curious.
Msendo, I haven't read the book, I was asking the question of Villages PL because I assume he read it. I totally agree with your opinion that a colonoscopy every five years is an excellent preventive procedure. I just thought that VP has a different perspective to offer.
