APPENDICITISWHAT DOES IT MEAN? WHAT'S CAUSING IT? WHAT CAN YOU DO?
Are you prone to a problem with 'Appendicitis'?
Scientists have Finally Discovered the Appendix has a PurposeFor 100 years, we've grown up believing the appendix had no purpose. Its odd wormy shape, earning it the name 'vermiform appendix' has long perplexed scientists. Removal of the appendix, called appendectomy, was a common surgery. The lack of symptoms after appendectomy suggested to them that the appendix was a vestigial structure with no apparent use. The human appendix attaches to the cecum at the beginning of the colon. The appendix averages 4 inches in length and has the width of earthworm. It is located beneath McBurney's point, 1/3 from the top of the right hip bone to the belly button. By studying koalas, researchers at Duke University in 2007 believe they have finally found the function of the appendix. Koalas, like many leaf eating mammals, have an unusually large appendix. Leaves contain large amounts of indigestible cellulose fibers. Bacteria break down these cellulose fibers and significantly improve absorption of koala's leafy eucalyptus menu. A bout of diarrhea or infection could purge the gut of these beneficial cellulose eating beneficial bacteria. Enter the appendix. Apparently, the appendix acts as a reservoir of beneficial gut bacteria. As nature's pro-biotic, the appendix helps to reboot the koala digestive tract by repopulating its gut with this good bacteria. As humans learned to cook and eat more easily digestible foods, and eat fewer leaves, the importance of the appendix may have waned slightly. Nevertheless, balanced gut flora remains important to human health as well. Appendicitis
When infected the appendix can turn deadly. A low fiber diet, together with rich, gooey foods like pizza and cheeseburgers, form a cocktail of food stagnation that festers in the cecum. Typically, before the appendix becomes inflamed, a person will feel gas & bloating as food stagnates in the cecum. The cecum is a hot spot of food stagnation and fermentation. As the appendix becomes inflamed, pain radiating to the center will start as a dull, visceral ache. As the pain becomes more acute, it localizes to the lower right quadrant. Pain is felt upon release of pressure (rebound tenderness) not upon application.
A diet of light, easy to digest soups with cooked leaves can help scrape the cecum clean. Enema therapy was traditionally recommended to cleanse to the cecum area as a preventative measure. Do not give an enema to someone with an inflamed appendix, as the increase in pressure could cause rupture. Appendicitis is a serious condition that requires immediate emergency treatment at the hospital. Cases of appendicitis increase in the spring, starting early February, as gooey element naturally increases in the blood. Disclaimer: 'Appendicitis' could be serious and should be checked by a medical doctor.

Fossil evidence, however, shows that the appendix evolved independently in at least 32 species, and was lost by no more than 6 species. This finding provided a strong argument of the appendix's importance, however mysterious to modern man. Given the high concentration of immune tissue surrounding the appendix, researchers originally postulated that the appendix offered a protective immune function.

FAVOR DIETS, LIFESTYLES & HERBS WITH THESE MEDICINAL EFFECTS
Everything you eat has an effect on your body, which Ayurveda categorizes in a simple and easy way, using biocharacteristics (gunas). Biocharacteristics are qualities (like cold and hot) that describe the effect a food or herb has on your body. Cooling foods like cucumber, decrease metabolism. Heating foods like chili pepper, stimulate your body and increase metabolism. For 'Appendicitis', you should select foods with the following biocharacteristics. Individual results will vary, based on your body type and the root cause of your imbalance.| GUNA | CONDITION IN YOUR BODY |
|---|---|
CLEAR
Clear refers to anything that cleanses or flushes out wastes, or that digests ama.
|
Status UnknownTake these quizzes to find out if you have an imbalance of 'Clear' guna |
BITTER
Bitter is disagreeable and stimulating rejection, and a strong taste often associated with black coffee, dark chocolate, and most salad greens.

GENERAL-LAXATIVE
Promotes a bowel movement. General laxative is an umbrella term that refers to several different types of laxatives...HIGH-FIBER-LAXATIVE
A class of laxative that adds bulk and water to stools. The size of a stool stimulates peristalsis and the stool passes more easily through the colon. It is important to drink plenty of water when using high fiber laxatives, as they can be dehydrating.ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
Reduces inflammation in the body. Different herbs and carriers target different body systems.ANTIMICROBIAL
An agent that kills microorganisms or inhibits their growth. Antimicrobial is an umbrella term that can be broken down into specific categories of target microorganism, such as anti-bacterials, fungals, and virals.ADDRESS ISSUES IN STAGE OF DISEASE 4
APPENDICITIS IS IN STAGE OF DISEASE 4 - TISSUE DISEASEIf you have symptoms in this category it means your imbalances have overwhelmed your body's resistance causing a full-fledged disease. Once imbalance reaches this stage it is more likely to cause acute or chronic conditions. You might be tempted to focus your attention on fighting symptoms in this category, but dismiss earlier warning signs of imbalance - i.e. symptoms in the stage 1 category. It is ideal to find and address the root causes weakening your system and remove them first. This ensures you are not adding fuel to the fire of disease. Once the root causes are removed, you can work on addressing the disease head on along with strengthening your body. This typically yields a quicker recovery and prevents recurrence. Ayurveda's preventative approach suggests you pay careful attention to every stage of disease development.

HOW AYURVEDA WORKS
ARE YOU WONDERING HOW AYURVEDA CAN HELP YOU?WHY IS AYURVEDA THE RIGHT SOLUTION?
Ayurveda strengthens the body, in addition to addressing the disorder. It take a holistic, systemic approach, instead of focusing only on the disorder in question. Ayurveda shows a person how to interpret signs and symptoms of imbalance, and how to address them using materials from home, so they can optimize their health on a continual basis. You can't take the doctor home with you, but you can take Ayurveda home with you. Ayurveda is the most advanced and easy to use home system for self healing with an exceptional focus on digestion.HOW DOES AYURVEDA WORK?
Ayurveda starts by identifying your body type, which identifies certain tendencies in your body to get sick (as well as identifying your strengths). It uses body type to determine the likely root causes of your disorders. Next, Ayurveda analyzes the nature of your disorder. It fits all your signs and symptoms into a pattern, expressed as a combination of biocharaceristics (gunas). For example, you may have a heat disorder, a cold disorder, or an oily disorder, etc. This simple categorical approach shows you how to correct systemic imbalances and strengthen your body as a whole.On Joyful Belly, we've created an extensive categorization of food so you can easily match food to your imbalanced biocharacteristics. By eating an optimal diet that balances your biocharacteristics, your whole body is strengthened and the conditions that created the disorder are removed. Once the root causes of the disease are removed, the disease lessens in strength or disappears altogether. Additional remedies - such as herbs and lifestyle practices - focused on the specific disorder, can greatly enhance your healing.

His hope and belief in the capacity of each & every client to improve their quality of life is nothing short of a personal passion.
