Did you get your appendix removed or not?

We all say that our appendixes are useless but they're not :) .... see interesting blurp below -


Scientists discover true function of appendix organ -

"It has long been regarded as a potentially troublesome, redundant organ, but American researchers say they have discovered the true function of the appendix.

The researchers say it acts as a safe house for good bacteria, which can be used to effectively reboot the gut following a bout of dysentery or cholera.

The conventional wisdom is that the small pouch protruding from the first part of the large intestine is redundant and many people have their appendix removed and appear none the worse for it.

Scientists from the Duke University Medical Centre in North Carolina say following a severe bout of cholera or dysentery, which can purge the gut of bacteria essential for digestion, the reserve good bacteria emerge from the appendix to take up the role.

But Professor Bill Parker says the finding does not mean we should cling onto our appendices at all costs."

can u provide the link to that as i want to see the source, pls? Thanks!
 
This could be a problem. I can't tell you who is right or wrong. U.S. Hospitals is the worst so far as I know of. The problem is that we have no way to believe what the America news tells you that the U.S. hospital is number one around the world. Did you know that most Congress family secretly went oversea to see their specialist? For example, Senator Ted Kennedy went to see his doctor in Switzerland.

Let's say that Bush had a small skin cancer on his side face, and it was removed by an American doctor. Now, the question is: Is this doctor is really American? I don't have the answer for this one.

We never heard of any best doctor from another country in our T.V. news for years. Isn't that correct?

Jclarke - sorry off subject.

What was wrong with Teddy?
 
Its Ok as long it doesn't veer off course for a long period of time.
 
If you think that it could be your stomach, then I highly recommend you to eat natural yogurt often. This will help to clean up tiny pieces of old food that got stuck in your stomach. Eat normal food and don't eat at very late night. I bet that you eat a lot of breads. :nana: Shhh, I do like to eat natural breads.

Never drink diet coke because it contains aspartame.

ANY diet food on the label is no good because of unusual names on the ingredients such as aspartame, and many weird names in the list.

Drink a lot of healthy juices with no complicated names on the ingredients.

Always, always read all the ingredients on the food products before you buy them. Just ask yourself some questions why do you have to eat each one on the ingredients. If you never heard of some ingredient names, then simply don't buy it. Your body will thank you for not buy it because you are in your body that feeds your brain working for a long time.

If you stopped smoking, it takes 7 years to clean your lungs. And, it also replaces your cells every seven years.

I agree with you on this.. but the problem is fruit juice. I am not supposed to drink it? why? it contains sugar. People who have diabetes cant drink it. I am borderline but it went back to normal after the birth of my son. I could get it if I dont take good care of myself.

The nutrition specialist said fruit juice arent good as they have sugar in it? Best way to do is do it fresh like buy orange fruits and squeeze the juice out of it that way you know it is fresh and not processed like fruit juice is.

plus dont buy processed foods.. they contain too many stuffs like additives etc that are not good for your body... its better to make foods from scratch! :D

Also my doctor told me it take 3 yrs for lung to be cleared of the black stuffs? now you said 7 yrs? i guess all dr think differently?? hmm? oh well..

How about cold juice from dairy area? I usually bought cold juice in dairy area over mild juice that found in normal temperature.

Most cold juice are contain natural sugars, that counted as carb, there's pic looks like that.

You are right about the sugar. However, there are two separate sugars. One is real natural sugar in the orange itself. Another sugar is "man-made" in the orange juice bottle which tastes good. It's hard, but the more you research to find a brand... A juice is pasteurized, then it probably added man-made sugar in it.

Last week, I learned from a speaker at a new Whole Foods store's open house - we had many groups to tour around, and the speakers talked about food and the brands. If you see the number "365 Organic" on the package, that's the brand that sells from Whole Foods' local farms. She also said that 50 or 70 percent is natural foods in that store.

My mother usually buys a bottle of Orange juice, "Topicana" pure as original one. She looks very good health for a long time. I do not remember if it was pasteurized that she bought it.

I definitely agreed with you about how bad the processed foods are. I read about "Nori" juice that helps to reduce people's diabetes. I am not diabetic.

Here is the list of ingredients that the store does not buy bad stuff in the packages:

Whole Foods Market : Quality Standards
 
*check* Yep, mine is still there. If you continue to have pain, have it checked out. It can get worse really quick.
 
I'm just now getting back home from the hospital. I had my appendix removed yesterday morning.

I'll start off by saying over the last month I had some lil pains in my right side, they weren't to bad but just kinda like a pinch. then it got worst about 2 nights ago, I worked noon til midnight at my job and had the pain all day on my right side, got off work and went home only to get sick. I threw up 3 times and I had almost pure water for the bowel moments, I must of went to the bathroom 10 times in 3 hours. by 3:00am I had my girlfriend take me to the hospital. when I get there they run some test on me trying to figure out is it kidney stone, infection, or appendix. welp turns out my appendix was 2x the size it should be, and the doctor said I only had 48 to 72 hours before it ruptured. So I had to make the choice, well because I was already in so much pain and he said once it ruptured i'd be in 10x the pain that was the deciding factor. so couple hours later my appendix was gone. and I have 3 lil scares on my stomach from where he went in and removed it.

It isn't the best feeling in the world, but I'm thankful that I got mine out before it ruptured.
 
JClarke, I still have mine, why you asking? Want mine, eventually? I could ship it Kangaroo Express! :lol:
