Agree the instruments used are bad - can cause infections\diseases also sometimes perforating the colon and\or causing death. While polyps are 'normal' in that so many people have them, they are not something that should be acceptable in terms of health. The fact that so many people have them is a testament to the fact that the average human does not have optimal health. Cutting off a polyp does not usually solve the problem, so there is that also.
"Cutting off a polyp does not usually solve the problem, so there is that also."
Yet, that is a common procedure for what?...... For Biopsies in finding cancer. I agree with your statement polyps are somewhat normal.... they come and go and to me are similar to canker sores. You are correct in saying -- "the average human does not have optimal health." This is probably more so to a combination of things like chemical toxins in the environment increase. A far more sedentary lifestyle and the diets Americans have eating processed foods is definitely a big factor too.
My statement refers to the fact that a polyp will grow back roughly 30% of the time, and new ones occur--- the doc has to keep lopping off the new pop-ups, like whack-a-mole, UNLESS the underlying health issues that allow these things to grow are addressed. When a doctor says ' normal' it is based on ranges for stats that include the general population as a whole, not the healthier end of the range. This is why thyroid issues for example often go undiagnosed. Healthy tissue would not provide the right environment for polyps to grow so - as you indicated, the combination of things such as chemicals\processed foods and sedentary lifestyle need to be changed.
