I have Lynch syndrome, and so have watched many family members dealing with colon cancer. It is heartening to know that people like you are working on treatments which give us hope. Regarding the use of ginger for nausea, I wondered if it might help with colonoscopy prep. As I'm sure you know, many doctors are now hesitant to prescribe the Osmo prep pills now because of the potential for kidney damage. Unfortunately, I can't drink the various PEG solutions--they cause me severe nausea. A yearly colonoscopy is essential for me, and I am worried that I won't be able to do the prep. Dear Dr. Lenz,
