What Can Be Done To Save Appendix

What am I missing here ? The usual treatment for appendicitis is to have it removed surgically and that works very well. Why would you want to hang on to a chronically infected appendix ? A simple answer please, not some book....Oscar

I agree with Oscar. I had my appendix rupture while in my early 20's. I had peritonitis to the point where they thought I might not make it. It is nothing you should mess around with. If you have a bad appendix - it can KILL YOU. I spent ten days in the hospital.

Just saying. Be careful.

Hi Oscar,

Appendicitis is actualy acused by the protozoa called Dientamoeba. Fragilis. You can see here in my forum that deals with protozoan infection that there is a published paper that talks about that here:

http://microscopiccreatures.lefora.com/2011/07/29/it-might-be-the-cause-of-appendicitis/

Blastocystis.hominis and Dientamoeba. fragilis as well as Giardia intestinalis are responsible for IBS and even to Crohn's disease.

Best regards,

Tommy

Dear Tommy, If you have appendicitis you really should see a doctor. This is not something to play around with. From every thing I have been reading an acute attack can lead to death. An infected appendix can easily perforate, develope a hole or holes. When that happens a person is in immediate need of life saving surgery. I do not like to frighten people, but this appendicitis is not something to play around with. Have you seen a doctor about this ? ...Oscar

Hi Oscar,

I'm a pharmacologist and a natural health consultant. I came accros the article that put the link between appendicitis and the infection with Dientamoeba. Fragilis. I don't have it but at least with the article I put before in my forum it shows clearly that Dientamoeba. Fragilis could be a cause of appendicitis. Dientamoeba. fragilis is treated with Humatin or 2g of secnidazol.

I'm into protozoan and parasitical infections and their link to IBS and Crohn's disease as well as other chronic digestive problems. Blastocystis. hominis for example has been shown to be responsible for IBS in Chinese and Mexican patients infected with this protozoa.

This articles give hope to people and let doctors know that these diseases might be treatable with the proper treatment.

Best regards,

Tommy

To clarify, I'm not referring to the type of appendicitis that is an emergency and needs to be removed right away. I'm referring to a non-acute form of appendicitis known as "rumbling appendicitis (mild pain and treatable) but I don't want it to reach that critical level and was just interested in hearing if there were any folk remedies to supplement regular treatment. Thanks everyone for the useful info here.

Appendicitis is caused by a blockage to pea sized opening of the appendix. When the appendix is blocked it quickly fills with bacteria and intestinal fluid and becomes inflamed. If left untreated the appendix will rupture and will cause internal bleeding and peritonitis. If a rupture is not treated surgically within a few day the rupture will be fatal.

Trying to treat appendicitis with home remedies is extremely dsangerous and treating a ruptured with anything but surgery is impossible.

My child nearly died from a ruptured apendix and as it was she had to have several sugeries and blood transfusion. Please do not put your loved ones through such horror, have the surgery.

How about to save $30,000 in hospital bills ? .... What do you do if you don't have $30,000 ?

how about to avoid weeks of recovering from surgery?

how about avoiding the risks of dying from the anethetics ? [1%?, 3%?]

How about for saving your own life until you can get to a hospital?

How about to keep alive the the expert knowlege that someone fought long and hard to obtain for a world of suffering humanity?

How about to save your god given appendix, whether or not some medical mafia knows it's function, or not?

Well, there is that concern about an infected appendix rupturing. When that happens, and it often does, the affected person is now in need of a life saving surgery. Once the appendix ruptures the person will die if the surgery is not done soon enough and may die anyway from the enevitable infections that result from a ruptured appendix. I am not part of any medical mafia. In fact I am often derided for my efforts about BHT as a treatment for hepatitis C in other forums, NOT the Earth Clinic forum. I surely have no blind faith in the medical establishment, very far from it.

And there are dangers associated with such a surgery as you pointed out. Those dangers are vastly increased once the appendix ruptures. A ruptured appendix is the most common emergency room surgery there is....Oscar

Hi Oscar, I agree with you whole heartedly. You keep up the good work and the information you are posting. Cheers Lily.

To Oscar... What you are saying is correct for someone who had ignored the early symptoms of appendicitis and continued to stuff their face. IF you are stating that Dr. Tilden is incorrect because the concept he shares is dated, I beg to differ with you as our society is so fearful and running rampant with medication overload and surgeries. The good Dr and other ND's have been able to turn this situation around naturally. This requires a mind that understands these things as well as one (like me) who believes that we need to change our diets and listen to our bodies, God did not make a mistake with the body and it's parts... Humans make choices both food and lifestyle. (A great read is the Maker's Diet). Due to greed in the medical/pharmaceutical world as well as arrogance we do not and will not get the best care. I'm experiencing this with my Mother's care and her Dr's arrogance at being challenged vs stepping up and learning something outside of med school.

This is also why supporting "cure for cancer" organizations is a mute point. Read about Essiac, go to www.knowthecause.com and www.cancerisafungus.com

Bottom line, with first sign of symptoms, juice fast (aloe vera is benficial for the colon), rest, enema's, castor oil w/flannel etc like the good Dr shares in his book with OBVIOUS experience and success to write about it. Also, I've found an excellent product here in the states at www.oxypowder.com. I'm not a rep or benefit at all from any of these recommendations. Just believe the body is more than able to heal itself IF we take care of it and spending time with the God of the Bible is a recommendation as well. Our lives are too busy filled with 'stuff' that causes our illness. Be well my friends... I recommend other books like What your Dr doesn't know about nutrition may be killing you, Death by Prescription and Let's stop the #1 killer in America Today all can be found by title on Amazon. Kudos to Dud from the woods :)

I forgot to add this link http://www.herballegacy.com/Appendicitis.html read it all the way to the bottom as more than one Dr concurs that the Appendix is necessary and can be treated homeopathically.
