Signed up for surgery after a CT scan showing 'uncomplicated' acute appendicitis I was given pre-op antibiotics that left me feeling pretty darn good in the morning of the scheduled operation. I managed to postpone surgery for 24hrs to see if the antibiotics would bring my inflammation markers down alone. It did and I was allowed to go home the next morning with a 7 day course of other antibiotics.
While in hospital I scoured the net for alternatives including Earth Clinic and decided to continue fasting (I hadn't been able to keep anything down and was on a nil-by-mouth for surgery anyway). First night home I did a bowel cleanse with 1 Tbsp magnesium oxide with glass full of water followed by juice of 1 lemon. Drinking lots of water -4.5 days in total fasting. I also drank 8oz glass of fenugreek water every morning for detox of the appendix (2 Tbsp fenugreek seeds/litre water simmered for 30min =0.5 hrs 3 cups) and broke the fast with buttermilk (3 cups/day) [-2 Ayurvedic remedies] and chicken broth loaded with rosemary and oregano. I did not need to start the 7 day course of antibiotics given me. Knowing my appendicitis was 'uncomplicated' gave me confidence and time to try other alternatives than the standard medical procedure of surgery. I am very grateful to God for the support He placed around me to be able to do this.
