What is the Colorectal Cancer Take Home Kit?

In their early stages, colorectal diseases such as cancer, ulcers, hemorrhoids, polyps, colitis, diverticulitis, and fissure may not show any visible symptoms, even though they may be producing blood hidden in the stool. Why should you test yourself for blood in your stool? Our Colorectal Cancer Take Home Kit detects this unseen blood, which serves as an early warning signal of bowel troubles that need medical attention.


What is this Test for?

This test is a way for individuals to determine the presence of hidden blood in your stool with approximately 98% accuracy. The colorectal cancer take-home kit is an important step in determining not only the possibility of colorectal cancer but also your overall colon health. This test will check for:

  • Cancer
  • Ulcers
  • Hemorrhoids
  • Polyps
  • Colitis (an inflammation of the colon and is often used to describe an inflammation of the large intestine)
  • Diverticulitis (a common digestive disease particularly found in the large intestine. Diverticulitis develops from diverticulosis, which involves the formation of pouches (diverticula) on the outside of the colon)
  • Fissure (a crack or tear in the skin of the anal canal)
  • How do I know if I’m at risk?

    You may be at risk for colorectal cancer if you have any of the following symptoms:

  • A change in bowel habits — constipation or diarrhea that lasts more than a couple of weeks.
  • A feeling that the bowel does not empty completely.
  • Bright red or very dark blood in the stool, black stools that may indicate hidden blood.
  • Stools that look narrower or thinner than normal.
  • Abdominal discomfort such as frequent gas pains, bloating, fullness, or cramps.
  • Weight loss with no known explanation.
  • Constant tiredness or fatigue.
  • Unexplained anemia (low number of red blood cells).
  • How often should I get this test?

    This test is recommended if you are or have been experiencing any of the above symptoms. It is also an important part of an overall healthy life plan.

    How often should I get this test?

    There are 3 steps with the take-home kit:

  • Water quality check (one time only)
  • Stool test (3 consecutive bowel movements)
  • Test performance (one time only)
  • What can I eat?

  • There are no dietary restrictions for this test
  • Consuming meat is okay
  • Vitamin C supplements are okay
  • HOWEVER: 2 days prior to and during your test : try to eat vegetables, fruits and cereals
  • What equipment will I use?

    Congratulations! You’re ready to schedule your HealthFair appointment for your colorectal cancer take-home kit and, most importantly, you are on the road to better health. Thank you for reviewing the above information. We look forward to seeing you soon!

    Testimonials


    "Ascending Aortic Aneurysm"

    We want to let everyone know that the services that are offered through HealthFair proved to be invaluable to his life. We were happy that the price for that valuable checkup was also affordable for the average person. Go get checked! It may save YOUR life too!"

    "Diagnosing me in 2006 with mitral valve prolapse"

    I just wanted to belatedly thank your company for diagnosing me in 2006 with mitral valve prolapse and regurgitation. I was 50 at the time and had begun to notice much more than usual fatigue. My husband and I were having coffee on Sunday morning, saw your ad, and he urged me to go. I did and your simple echocardiogram of my heart showed the problem. I was at the cardiologist within a month and had the valve repaired 4 months later. Otherwise, I would have had congestive heart failure. So - thank you. I tell all of my friends your service is worth every penny.

    "HealthFair saved my husband's life!"

    "Every doctor and nurse that saw Delbert said that HealthFair had saved his life. They could not believe that we found his aneurysm at a HealthFair! For less than $200 you saved his life!"

    "Your 7 test package was truly an investment in my health."

    "A few months ago, I reluctantly responded to a flyer in my local newspaper for stroke and aneurysm screening. One week later and to my surprise, the screening showed a 90 percent blockage in my carotid arteries, making me a prime candidate for a debilitating or deadly stroke. As a result, I had surgery and am fully on my way to recovery and good health. My wish is that my experience will encourage others to have the same early detection tests."

    "HealthFair Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm testing saved my life!"

    "On Tuesday, July 20th, 2004, I went in for HealthFair's seven-test ultrasound package in Richmond, Virginia. From the moment I arrived, HealthFair's dedicated and professional staff made me feel at ease. During my testing, the staff detected a 7.7 cm Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm which I had no idea was there and for which I had no noticeable symptoms. This was very scary because ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms are usually 90 percent fatal. Because of their findings, and the blessings of the Almighty, I was able to secure the necessary medical assistance and undergo a successful surgery on August 11th, 2004."

    "This Thanksgiving, I Give Thanks For My Life."

    "I saw an ad for the mobile ultrasound tests a year before actually signing up to be tested. Unfortunately our friend in Vermont didn't have an opportunity to have these inexpensive tests and died of a ruptured aneurysm. Your seven-test package was truly an investment in my health."

    "These tests most certainly saved Ray's life."

    "They discovered an aneurysm on Ray's aorta. The HealthFair tests and the operation that followed most certainly saved Ray's life."

    "I survived two heart attacks and a quadruple bypass surgery. Procedures and heart surgery saved my life, but the pain and fear involved can be avoided. By being screened, you are becoming proactive rather than reactive."
