Guest guest Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 I seem to recall reading (a very long time ago) a data sheet of research carried out by John Coleman (a chemist and rawfooder). I think he wrote that, in rats, the appendix is used as a storage for B12. I may be misremembering the data, but what an interesting idea if the appendix had a use after all. tev _____ The appendix DOES perform important functions. The idea that Nature puts something in our structure for no reason is an imbecilic notion of the medical " profession. " Example: the appendix secretes a substance that serves both as lubricant and antiseptic. This substance enters the digestive tube right around the intersection of the ileum (end of the small intestine) and the beginning of the ascending colon, and also where the cecum intersects. All this occurs in the vicinity of the ileo-cecal valve, which is the gateway from the small to the large intestine (colon). That the medical profession, when it did not yet understand any function for the appendix, had the arrogance to presume that there WAS no function, is a testament to the quality of their " model " of disease. But their " thinking, " if it be called such, has nothing at all to do with any constructive approach toward anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, or health.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 I've always thought the appendix had a use! Glad to hear that supported. They just hadn't discovered it yet.
