Guest guest Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 Leah This is right out of Dr Christophers Herbal Home Health care book.....Cleanse the colon throughtly with an enema, preferably herb, take as much water as possible, as hot as possible. The treatment is of great value and will often relieve the pain immediately. If using an herb enema, use either spearmint, catnip, white oak bark, bayberry or wild alum root. When herbs are not available, use plain water. If the pain continues after the colon has been cleansed, then use a very warm enema of catnip alone. Then apply hot and cold fomentations to the region of the appendix and the full length of the spine. This will aid in the cleaning process and relieve pain. At night prepare a poultice as follows: Combine a Tablespoon of granulated or powdered lobelia with a large handful of granulated or crushed mullein leaves, and sprinkle with ginger. Mix the herbs into a past by adding powdered slippery elm or corn meal. Apply the poultice as warm as the patient can stand, leave on until cool, then repeat. When suffering an attack of appendicitis, go on a liquid diet, drinking alkaline broths, fruit juices and drink several glasses of slippery elm or comfrey every day. Traditional Chinese medicine advocates Chinese Rhubarb (a mild laxative) and lightly stroking the painful area. Alternating hot and cold castor oil formentations bring tremendous relief. After an individual is over an attack (which is the effect), go immediately onto the mucusless diet. Sherry Bakko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 If you son's appendix is sore and swollen -- and especially if he has a fever, you need to contact a doctor or go to an emergency room. If it bursts, he would get an internal infection which could lead to sepsis. Not to be messed with. Dede Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Here Igo. I have been studying pathology so here is what my book says for appendicitis my belief though is if you can correct it without surgery please do so for our appendix is very important to digestion and the lymphatic system, but I do suggest you take your child to a physician and have that person make a determination and if it is not posing a danger than do try what ever it takes. Appendicitis describes the infammation, usually with infection of the vermiform appendix: a structure approximately the size of a little finger that dangles off the cecum. The appendix performs a vital role in digestion and immunity. It has been recognized that the lymphatic follicles lining the appendix may help to produce some types of immunoglobulins;so the appendix is only taken out when leaving it in poses significant danger. Inflammation of the appendix is generally precipitated by an obstruction of the opening into the cecum. Many cases are related to the development of fecaliths: small petrified stools that block the connection between the appendix and the large intestine. When the appendix can not drain appropriately, the risk of bacterial infection is very high. Once an infection begins, the appendix becomes inflamed and may develop internal or external abscesses. Left untreated, the infected appendix may reach the point of perforation or rupture, releasing bacteria and pus into the peritoneum. Symptoms of appendicitis are notoriously variable. They cover a wide range of possibllities, and not all patients experience all symptoms. The classic symptoms of appendicitis are a combination of food aversion and general central abdominal pain, which eventually settles into severe pain in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen. Nausea, vomitting, diarrhea, and constipation may be present when the appendix is inflamed. Pain is often aggravated by coughing, sneezing, or abdominal movement. Patients may develop a low fever. If the appendix ruptures, the pain may temporarily subside, because the pressure has been relieved. In a worst case scenario, the appendix may completely rupture, leaking its colonies of bacteria into the peritoneal cavity, where peritonitis is a near certainty. Occasionally the greater omentum may be positioned to smother a perforated appendix, which can temporarily localize the infection. However, this generally leads to internal adhesions and abscesses, which, without medical intervention, would probably rupture as well. In some situations, the appendix may develop abscesses: small, painful, localized infections. In this case, the risk of infection being released by surgery is high, so the abscesses must be drained or resolved by antibiotic therapy before the appendix is removed. edgetexlady <rbright Tuesday, April 3, 2007 5:14:10 PM Appendix If you son's appendix is sore and swollen -- and especially if he has a fever, you need to contact a doctor or go to an emergency room.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 I sent the last message because I believe everyone should do research and be informed about any pathological condition you have. It is important for you to remain a vital part of the health care team and do your part. edgetexlady <rbright Tuesday, April 3, 2007 5:14:10 PM Appendix If you son's appendix is sore and swollen -- and especially if he has a fever, you need to contact a doctor or go to an emergency room.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 He has to have it removed. This can not be fixed naturally. He could die are get very sick is the appendix reputure.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 It is also a vital part of the immune system. Scar tissue surrounding the appendix can also prevent detection of an enlarged, inflammed or ready to rupture status. My brother had major scar tissue surrounding his and the dr did a CT to determine if it was bad enough to remove. Had he not..he would have died. As I said before if it is not at risk to rupture then bowel and digestive cleanses are appropriate. Also infection zapping such as Hulda Clark's Zapper are appropriate.

Another method MAY work, but as a ruptured appendix can be a very serious matter, I would not suggest anything other than surgery. I do not think that any reputable doctor would. --TCH, D.C. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
