Actually, the appendix is a very integral part of your immune system. If you look at a picture of your large intestines you will see that there is a rather large balloon part (the cecum) that is part of the ascending colon. Just above the cecum is where the small intestines empty into the large intestine. The appendix is a line of defense against foreign invaders that happen to make it into the cecum. Sometimes the appendix gets plugged and then it becomes inflammed and can even burst (appendicitis). The immune response team from fort appendix take care of the cecum and the lileo-cecal valve (where the ilium connects to the cecum). Unfortunately, sometimes the appendix must be removed (life or death situation). However, using proper care and cleansing of bowels, proper diet, nutrients etc, one can keep a healthy appendix for their entire life. Is this more than you wanted to know Jean?

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 Thank you dear. I'm doing just that. I wouldn't be doing nearly so well if I wasn't learning so much from everyone here. ) Lynn ----- Original Message ----- From: Don Quai health Sent: Monday, September 06, 2004 3:32 AM Subject: Re: Appendix =========================Not if you are taking care of yourself, eating right, exercising, getting plenty of sun and fresh air.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 My daughter had hers out, the dr knew right away when she couldnt lift her right leg [] Appendix Does anyone know anything about your appendix. I have read some info. I am not sure if that is what is causing me pain lately. I know what the yeast pain in the gut feels lilke but this seems different. I practically have to be in cardiac arrest to get medical care so I haven't called the doctor. Plus from what I read there is no test to determine if it is your appendix. The pain is on the right side in the area where the appendix it located from a chart I looked at. When you push on it it doesn't hurt. I can exercise and I have been streatching the area. Mostly it seems like I feel this pain when I am exposed to something. Lately fragrance is coming into my apartment through the vents even though I have them covered. I tried to use the ac yesterday because it was in the 90's and I am on the second floor but I couldn't handle it-- the fragrance was so strong. As soon as it comes on I feel the pain in all my weak spots, sinuses, RSD on hand, and the appendix thingy. I have had the pain for about a month on an off. I walk as much as I can and have been trying to keep in shape. Thanks for any info. Unfortunately I don't have very great doctors. They were always nice and tried to work with me but after a while my illness was out of their realm of expertise. It is like when you go there, they don't want you to mention yeast or anything pertaining to mold illness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
