One of the largest contributing factors to many health problems today is the lack of good bacteria in the digestive system.
Allergies, joint problems, endocrine imbalances, emotional swings, even autism – and many other problems – share an interconnectedness with a digestive system that has "improper flora". That means that there is a lack of good bacteria which helps to support the immune system and many other bodily systems.
Improper flora – or not enough good bacteria – is related to many things such as over usage of antibiotics (which kill good bacteria), hormone replacement therapies, birth control pills, some other medications, poor food intake, and even stress.
Conventional doctors of today may argue with this (they, who were never trained in nutrition – or had little training). I say "let's come back in ten years and have this same discussion"
Well, maybe not ten years – maybe even five!
People are starting to wake up to this perspective of addressing health by paying more attention to foods that populate the gut with good bacteria. And the food companies are onto it too-mostly the companies that are promoting "pro-biotics" such as Dannon yogurt.
I love playing with these words. "Anti-biotic" means "against life". "Pro-biotic" means "for life". It's so simple.
So what does any of this have to do with the appendix?
For many years scientists and doctors poo-poo'd the appendix. "Its a body part that has no value" – I remember learning this in my nurses training! "No problem – take the appendix out!"
C'mon guys – how could a body part have no purpose? Who is arrogant here? Do you think G_d would make something that has no purpose?
Well, during the week of October 10th (2007) scientific journals came out with a theory from surgeons and immunologists at Duke University with this: the appendix results and protects good bacteria for the gut.
Not to say that a life threatening appendicitis should not result in removal of the appendix – but lets' start having more respect for this little worm shaped organ (sitting as a pouch to the colon).
What's a good way to keep the gut populated with good bacteria?
– Do not eat acid forming foods in excess (sugar, caffeine, meats, alcohol)
– Eat more alkaline forming foods (vegetables, fruits)
– Eat kefir, yogurt and probiotics daily
– Eat cultured vegetables (easiest to understand is sauerkraut)
– Take probiotics (Young Living just came out with the best probiotics I have ever come across! They are called "Life 5")
