Do not take this information as personal medical advice. Do not change your diet if you are ill or on medication without the advice of a qualified health care provider (your physician, for example). More detailed information is found in The McDougall Program - 12 Days to Dynamic Health (Plume 1990) in your bookstore.
 
  The obvious fact is that what you place in your colon causes health or disease. The high-fat, low-fiber Western diet of meats, poultry, milk, cheeses, eggs, and refined foods sets up the perfect environment for the development of colon polyps and colon cancer. Polyps are mounds of tissue resulting from three and more decades of irritation from the bowel’s contents. More of the same damage causes progression to colon cancer. In almost all cases, by the time "real cancer" is present in the colon, cells have escaped and spread to the rest of the body. Fortunately, spontaneous healing is always taking place within us. A change to a starch-based diet corrects the sickening contents of the colon and enhances recovery—the end result being a longer, healthier life. The McDougall Diet is the best opportunity for colon cancer prevention and a fundamental part of its treatment.
