Appendicitis Remedies

Wow, Jennifer. You just described perfectly what happened to me! I had an appendectomy yesterday also and am also a Western Medicine hater, but I am so grateful today for my surgeon and the staff at the ER. Also, that feeling you got that there was something "really wrong" is spot on. That was the tell tale sign for me. I began to panic, which is not like me. I usually get sick and tough it out, rarely going to a doctor, but my heart rate went sky high and I had a strong sense of "doom". So paying attention to what the body is telling us is very important. And, I agree wholeheartedly on your warning. Just go! I do feel a bit like Chuck Norris paid me a visit last night, but I don't feel near as bad as I did when I was laying on the carpet in the fetal position two days ago! Hope you are recovering well and thanks again for posting.

I had my appendectomy yesterday, and have to echo the original poster. I am all about natural cures, but appendicitis holds too many risks. I first went to the Urgent Care, but my temp and white blood count HAD NOT RISEN YET- so they did not do further testing. Here, the lesson is listen to your body! I went home and could only sleep all day and then took my temp in the evening- 102 degrees. I went to the ER and by then the white blood count was up along with the temp so I had the CT scan.

Perhaps one day there will be better diagnostic tools and alternatives for appendicitis, but the risks are not worth it for where we are right now.

There is at least one researcher in UK who contends that for many appendicitis sufferers, antibiotics may be used instead of surgery, often resulting in fewer complications.

Many medical treatments are carried on generation after generation without examination. If the treatment makes money for the system and results in an acceptable outcome, doctors and hospitals are ok with it. But is it truly what is best for us, the patients?

Nice to know that surgery is available if antibiotics don't work, but also nice to know it might be possible to survive appendicitis without having to spend $20000 (just guessing) and be exposed to surgical complications.

Apparently, prior to 1950, if you went to the hospital with suspected appendicitis, you were given an enema. If that helped you, you went home. I learned this from Herbalist Rachel Weaver. You can read more about the link between constipation and appendicitis here:

While it seems that the "safest" thing to do when you have symptoms of appendicitis is to have surgery, surgery is not without risks.

Not everyone has the option for immediate surgery and it is wise to know what to do for a suspected appendicitis.

Here is a great story of how charcoal helped someone survive a ruptured appendix.

http://www.charcoalremedies.com/appendicitis

My husband and I have each had our appendix out. We know what the pain feels like. A few years ago our son was having pain that were were sure was his appendix. I took him to the doctor. The doctor insisted that it wasn't appendicitis and sent us home. We used charcoal poultices over the area, and I think chamomile tea internally. It did give him relief. This happened a couple of times and both times the poultices relieved his pain quite quickly. He has not had the problem in years. I am quite convinced it was appendicitis. He had the rebound pain and all. But apparently, you can have an inflamed appendix that is not actually critically infected or about to rupture. I know someone else for whom a charcoal poultice helped appendix like pain.

At the least, a charcoal poultice could be used on the way to the emergency room, or if there is no medical care available. It is worth it to relieve the suffering.

What is odd is that when I was having appendix problems, the problems came and went over a couple of weeks. I went to one doctor who said it was not my appendix. I went to my OBGYN who said it was not my appendix. The third flare up, I went to the ER. The did a CT scan. But before getting the results, they did the surgery. But, of course, they still charged for the CT scan that was very important and then suddenly not important.

What would be really nice is to have a doctor who would be willing to monitor you and treat you conservatively and only do surgery if it were truly needed. Unfortunately, I think for most doctors, the easiest/safest (for them) thing to do is just remove the appendix. In our society that sues doctors quite quickly, I can understand their position to just take out the appendix.

Just my random thoughts on appendicitis.

"my surgeon told me ..."

Sadly there are too many [sociopaths] who are motivated to give surgery for purely financial reasons. It comes down to TRUST. Does one trust that the surgeon is motivated for the right reason. Does one trust that the surgeon has truly researched and studied alternatives to surgery and has not been too brainwashed by their education. It is rare that such a surgeon will exist. They use scare tactics so this becomes analogous to the boy who cried wolf. That one or few times they could be right. Worse, fear can override ones subconscious mind (the one that tends to make the correct decisions).

There are emergency situations where one doesn't have time to research and think nor control of the situation. Can't really criticize someone under this situation. We need some luck in this situation.

if one even thinks there is a remote possibility that it could be appendicitis, one needs to be proactive in heading off a potential emergency situation even if it is not. One should start gentle preventative measures. One may need to even make the diagnose themselves. I don't trust most doctors because they are brainwashed. The doctors which do use alternative approach tend to be ostracized. Many others that would get intimidated.

if we trusted what most surgeons say, there would be no need to consult the earth clinic anymore.

I do everything I can to avoid an emergency situation where conventional medicine that involves surgery is needed. If that day comes, maybe it is time to die anyway.

Why should one not remove their appendix

The latest study says

" The finding adds weight to the idea that the appendix helps protect our beneficial gut bacteria when a serious infection strikes. "

I would like to say this. There are a billion Chinese that DO NOT use surgery to treat appendicitis. To say that everyone is going to die from said condition is purely false. If you truly want to remedy appendicitis, turn to TCM and change your diet, lifestyle - exercise, and re-examine your emotions. To say that there is no other treatment is absurd, and nothing more than a reflection of the ignorance and brainwashing of our society. However, if you are experiencing a high fever or even a moderate fever and don't have a TCM doctor handy.....well you know the drill.

Radonna,

I can only speak from my personal experience. If I had not had surgery for my ruptured appendix I would have died. My stomach pain lasted for days on end. On the fourth day it filled my entire abdomen with poison when it ruptured.

This was over thirty years ago, and I have the adhesions in my pelvic cavity to this day. I wish I would have sought medical help sooner, as I would have saved myself years (decades) of misery due to the adhesions.

Please understand that I am NOT a fan of standard medicine by any means.....but when it comes to this type of thing, well, sometimes you just have no choice. If I had waited a few more hours that day, I would be dead now.

So....Please don't try to make people feel like they have failed if they truly need to seek medical intervention. Until you have experienced it, you do not know what a ruptured appendix feels like. It was HELL on earth before I gave in and went to the E.R. that day.

Good luck to anyone out there with appendix issues....and if the pain has not resolved within a reasonable period of time....PLEASE SEEK HELP!

If I might add, by way of prevention; I have had a terrible time w/ chronic infection due to but not limited to a twice compromised immunity, so I have remained mindful of any first sign of appendicitis as I know it can be deadly if not remedied quickly.

Well, I have had maybe two or three "flare-ups" in the past few yrs which I quickly resolved each time w/ an Hulda Clark Zapper. Zapping directly over the affected area for 15 or maybe 30 min once or twice per day for only two or three days terminates the infection.

I had ruptured appendix at the age of 35 after I had been to the ER with severe pain, nausea ect and was given Demerol shot and sent home. I had been to my doctor with same problems and given pain pills and told to loose weight (I weighed 160 lbs at 5 ft 7 & 1/2 inches height) and no diagnosis of what was going on in my body.

After coming home from the ER I collapsed in a coma sometime in the night. My husband was on the road driving long-distance. My oldest who was 15 went to school leaving his three younger siblings with a neighbor thinking mom will get them later in the day when the Demerol wears off. Another neighbor came to check up on me and was alarmed at the deathly state I was in and immediately took me to another hospital in the area. They operated on me not knowing what they'll find and had given my husband less than 50% chance of me pulling through. I was given nine different types of antibiotics prior to and after surgery via drip while still in coma. I woke up on the ninth day and learned of everything that the doctors did at that Catholic hospital to save my life. It took long to recover from the massive damages from the infections after the rupture but I have been able to live a semi decent healthy life and see my children grow to become adults and have two grandkids now. I had to have multiple surgeries to rid of the scar tissues and other complications but God spared my life and the doctors (three) are heroes in my book who used whatever means necessary to treat me with the hopes that I might make it.

The first year my body shed all my skin and parts of my body turned dark (those that got exposed to sun a lot), shed a lot of my hair, couldn't stand heat above 60-65 degrees and same with cold. I live a fairly normal life but my diet is very restricted or I pay in other ways. I developed IBS, heart problems, inflammation, constant fatigue...better than being dead! If anyone suspects they have appendix problems go to a doctor and get treatment, get second opinion to be sure of proper diagnosis and care. You have one life to live. I am a staunch advocate of natural remedies and practice it diligently but somethings we shouldn't mess with.

S: I have had a recent chronic near-end experience with all the bad health things I am dealing with, as well as an acute episode in 1997. Just prior to the 1997 incident, my health had been deteriorating quickly and it was of vital interest to me to keep my eyes open to any new knowledge associated w/ death & dying. By fate or fortune I ran across a book published by Gallup named Adventures In Immortality way back in the 70's. This book was one of the first publications of an increasing number of people that had undergone profound mystical or "near-death" experiences during brief episodes of being clinical dead (no pulse or heart-beat or breathing). Most of these people were, prior to their experience, what is defined as "naturalist", that is they don't believe in life after death.

Fast forward to about 2009 and once again my health going down and so I get on the internet and their are hundreds, thousands of these NDE's reports on several websites as well as live on YT. I have two hard-books and two e-books on the subject. Also several motion pictures or movies have been made concerning these experiences. Two conclusions to draw from these reports. One, 100% of the people reporting that were once naturalist, are no longer and consider themselves supernaturalist. Two, the key-word or main theme in the reports is "there is no death".

So, it was unfortunate for you to not have had an NDE unlike the famous neurosurgeon that also experienced several days in a coma, had a lengthy NDE and luckily survived to "tell the tale". If my memory serves me correctly his name is Rubin Alexander and he has a book as well as personal testimonies via audio or video.

There are several NDE websites but proly the main one is IANDS (International Association Of Near Death Experiences) here

http://www.iands.org/home.html

Good luck on your adventures into NDE's !!!

Many medical procedures are done in haste for the convenience (and "protection") of the doctor, not the patient. However, many people become intimidated by the white coat and forget that they are the ultimate decision maker over what happens to their own body. A white coat is not "all knowing! " After all, medicine IS called "practice! "

Hello Mama to Many,

I so value your input, I think everyone is great but you being a female I figured I would ask. I have been doing coffee enemas for months now to help with heavy metal detox. Was curious about your "appendicitis" symptoms when you had yours removed. When you said OB/GYN I wondered what type of female symptoms you were having. ( or other symptoms) My discomfort started mostly yesterday, as far as the appendicitis question. I read that Ginger is helpful for it, I am always nauseated it seems, so I'm wanting to work on the inflammation, if it is that.

Thank you much!

Dear Pain,

I went to my obgyn because I had a good doctor patient relationship with her and wanted a second opinion. I didn't really think it was an OB problem, but I do have a history of ovarian cysts. The pain was on my right, in the lower abdomen.

Enemas used to be used to as a first course to treat suspected appendicitis, since a back up in the digestive system could irritate the appendicitis. If you have been doing coffee enemas, I would think a back up is not the issue.

What is difficult is that while it seems some appendicitis surgeries can be avoided, some are very necessary. My father had a ruptured appendix in 1985. He had bad stomach pain for days but with his history of ulcers I guess he didn't go right to the doctor. By the time he did and had emergency surgery, his appendix had already ruptured. He had been walking around for days with a ruptured appendix. He ended up with gangrene too and nearly died. Surgery, antibiotics, and medical care saved his life. He will be 89 this month!

Do you have a trusted medical professional you could consult with? Fever and increased pain can also be signs of appendicitis, I believe.

~Mama to Many~

Thank you Mama to Many,

I have a feeling I am older than you, but you know so much about so many things, I appreciate you getting back to me. I'm thrilled that your father got that taken care of and is doing well and continuing to live a good life.

I am not able to seek any medical help at this moment, and the situation seems a bit better, so I figure it was a false alarm.

Many Blessings to you!!

Dear Pain

I wanted to warn you re thinking your appendicitis was over, mine was not textbook at all therefore I did not believe it was appendicitis. Over 3 days I had pain in the lower right side which would increase and decrease, with a general feeling of nausea. My doctor sent me to hospital in an ambulance in acute pain, when I arrived my pain had diminished a lot so they put me back in the waiting room. While there the pain and nausea increased again, so to re-advise the admittance nurse I had to sit in the queue I could no longer stand. From this point on the pain was extreme. The doctors decided to take my appendix only because I "didn't need it", they saw nothing wrong in their tests. By this stage I was on morphine for pain. One day after admittance my surgery was conducted. My appendix was dead and gangrenous. My abdomen was infected with the disintegrating tissue. I believe (with recent research) my appendix became toxic due to a lifetime of constipation. Please be careful

I thought I had chronic appendicitis and had many xray and CAT with contrast still negative I thought I was getting well then every thing began to turn and I became really sick with new symptoms, finally a the second time I took a blood test for H Pylori it came back positive what I learned from this experiene is that you really do need a positive diagnosis for more serious matters, because you could spend a lot of time, money and energy doing something that isn't really addressing the issue, and whatever may be the causative factor comes back with vengence.

Here is an update, the infectious disease doctor decided to run a second test for H. Pylori, not satisfired with method used by ER for my first test the first H. Pylori test was a false positive. Meaning there was an error in the test results, I did not have H. Pylori. Fourteen months later and a miilions tests. A week ago, my MD prescribed Nitazoxanide, known as Alinia for two weeks. My MD is big time researcher type, I think he figured I had chronic appendicitis. It is no surprise that Alinia kills Dientamoeba fragilis.

I have done tons of research figured out that female issues such as ovarian cysts, etc.. can look like appendicitis. I had an ultrasound and two small ovarian cysts were found and pain in the area or the right ovary, close to the appendix region. In 2 weeks I will have exploratory laprascopic surgery to take a closer look at the appendix and uterus. An invasive procedure is my last resort I prefer natural methods, but I absolutely reached my limit with this.

For how long not to eat food? I don't have severe pain or temperature but it feels like appendicitis (or I suppose some kind of ovary problem) (seeing doctor today and will have to decide what treatments I want). I don't want a temporary thing like antibiotics and then it all keeps coming back. I want to get better quickly. I just about never take pills and eat 100% paleo.

Interestingly when I felt bad last week the first thing I did was eat nothing until evening and that seemed to feel naturally right.

Please be specific, if your are not to eat solid foods, what are you able to drink that can help with or replace nutrients?

I have to take food with blood pressure pills. I usually eat three Crackers twice a day. I'm not sure it is appendix either

Thank you for your time and imput.

I was sure I had appendicitis inflammation.. So since medical doc were clueless I consulted with the an GI Nautropathic doctor He ordered parasite check and SIBO. On the the second visit to the ND I was told parasite check was negative and SIBO was positive and on the same day I was given a choice of antiobiotics or natural remedy. I picked the natural remedy. I have to share this part while I was waiting for the test results from the Naturapathic I was suffering sooooo much that I cut back on eating by 70% and just started fasting and drinking an anti-infection drink fresh organic lemons, ginger and cayenne diluted with alkalized water plus six garlic oil pills I did this 3 x a day . To really hit the infection hard, . I did this in addition to the anti infection drink I did this for ONLY THREE DAYS ( I went to the herb store and the clerk ground up 100% pure fresh rosehips and I capped them do not buy rosehips with c ) Day 1- I took TEN 100% pure rosehips caps to see if I was going to have an allergic reaction since I had no reaction. I proceeded to DAY 2, I took 22 rose hips caps, Yes I said 22! DAY 3, I took 24 rosehips caps. You DO NOT take a high dose of Rosehips for more than two days! . The Rosehips were extraordinary it seemed to work and my suffering decreased by 90%. I want to give credit where credit which is Robert Von gave me the Rosehips and anti-infection drink method He is amazing. By the time I was diagnosed my suffering decreased by 97% . Anyhow it is good first to get a diagnosis and work from there. I have insurance the medical cost out of pocket is about $4000 plus no diagnosis and the Naturopathic method cost $ 350.00 including diagnosis and cure.

Also I forgot to add one more very IMPORTANT point, please buy Rose Hips that are SEEDLESS. Because the seeds will make you itch like crazy! My herbalogist only sells SEEDLESS ROSEHIPS so be sure it is SEEDLESS ROSEHIPS. My herbalogist grinds it right there into powder so I can cap them later.

For appendicitis, here's another thing to try. Our Amish friends from Ohio told us they did this when my husband got appendicitis. They go down their flight of stairs head first on their tummies. It seems the position empties the appendix of the toxic waste. Well my husband got fast relief by putting himself in that position on the bed he was laying in. That was about 13 years ago, and he hasn't had that problem since. Well this happened to me this year..... And I also got relief, but it took a longer time for me in that position. Sure beats surgery!

Replying to your old post. Because I'm seeking answers.
I realize this post is old, but my daughter is suffering from stomach pain, most right above her belly button. Three hospitals and 22 days in hospital didn't find anything. They say it might be in her head. But I know it's not. It seems like appendix. She had bad virus, and stomach pain never left. She's in pain all day and night. I'm wondering what you discovered about your symptoms. You had an independent lab done. What was results?
Did you find healing?
Thank you.

Dear Anon from Canada, I had your exact symptoms. However, my "unbearable" pain truly was unbearable. I went to the hospital with a ruptured appendix and peritonitis. I came very close to death because I waited for so long to go in. What you are telling people to do if they are in unbearable pain could potentially kill someone. Peritonitis is nothing to mess around with. Please be careful as to what "cures" you are advising people on. If someone is in UNBEARABLE pain, they need to go to the E.R. right away. Better safe than dead.

Pls. How Can I Get Water and Sea Salt?

For Appendicitis: How much of the water and sea salt and how often do I take it?

You do realize that medical error is one of the leading causes of death in the US right? So, if someone is trying to avoid the pharma-pushers, that is up to them to decide if they want to take that chance - of going to the medical mafia route. You don't need to give a 1-star review, because of your personal fear of healing your own body.

Thanks for the note of precaution .. the scriptures exhort us "I would not have you be ignorant .." BUT the fact is that the 4th leading cause of death in the US is CORRECTLY prescribed medications .. so whether someone acts in intelligence by asking questions to try to help themselves or blindly thrusts the care of their health into a Medical phy$ician$ hand, neither should be considered the absolute. I dont agree with mandated vaccination and find sale$man$hip in the claims made for it, BUT for an unhealthy aging or immune compromised individual I would not completely rule out of my consideration that in that circumstance it may be wise.

Caveat emptor .. or as the bible suggests "check the fruit on the tree .." A lemon tree should not bear or advertise that it produces oranges. Check all advice and weigh the evidence and assess your skills to know how to act. Ask friends for assistance or experience in such matters. These are things that will bode well for the person in charge of their domain.
