Guest guest Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 Greetings, all ~ I received the below request from raw friends. Any suggestions? <<Bill has learned that he has a hernia. It's an umbilical hernia. Will you please post to any raw & other health-related you're a part of to inquire about natural healing for these>> If you've had experience with hernias or know someone who has and you have some " raw " ideas, I know all recommendations would be welcomed. Thanks! Annette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 Annette My husband and daughter have both had inguinal hernias and had the surgeries to repair the areas. This all happened before I was raw but I would like to say that they are both fine and had no problems with the surgeries or recoveries. This may not be the information wanted but it is an alternative aspect that I hope will be of help.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 Looking through different URLs on the internet, they all agree that the only way for a hernia to be cured is through surgery. A good tutorial on hernias can be found at http://www.hernia.org/whatsport.html.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 That would be the " main stream " answer. A hernia is like a rupture. I don't know how the body would heal itself of that. But, then again, the body is capable of amazing things when given the chance. I wonder what an extended water fast (w/complete rest, eyes closed, no work, etc.) would do to it. Anyone have any knowledge of fasting on hernia's? I had a near hernia (inguinal) a couple years ago. I wore a brace for support, took it easy and eventually got back to exercising, etc. while on a raw vegan diet. After some time, the discomfort was all gone and I haven't had a problem since. It sounded like (main stream thinking) typically it would always be prone to problems after the first incident. Of course, raw foodists are not typical!

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2003 Report Share Posted June 1, 2003 My ex-boyfriend (vegan but not exclusively raw foods) had an inguinal hernia. He had it surgically repaired as an out-patient, healed remarkably fast w/very little pain, & a few days later was able to ride his bicycle.sturtevants <sturtevants wrote: AnnetteMy husband and daughter have both had inguinal hernias and had thesurgeries to repair the areas.
