let’s talk about the early warning signs

of appendicitis now first of all do we

really need our appendix I mean isn’t it

just an extra organ well actually you do

need your appendix it serves a very very

important purpose

it’s your insurance policy it’s your

backup for when you get food poisoning

and get diarrhea or you have some type

of gut infection where you have diarrhea

and you lose your good bacteria so

there’s a concentrated amount of good

bacteria and immune factors that’s

sitting in this appendix that will be

released if you have diarrhea because

your body wants to prevent the bad

bacteria from stepping in and taking

over so it’s there to help you replenish

the good bacteria so here we have the

small intestine over here and it

connects with a little valve called

ileocecal valve and then you have the

large intestine okay and the appendix is

right down here and sometimes that can

be blocked with various things even from

a parasite or a stone or because your

diet is poor you get inflammation and

this closes down and then that gets

infected and the early symptoms usually

are going to be a sudden pain between

the location of where your appendix is

and your bellybutton so about two inches

to the right of your bellybutton okay

you’re gonna notice the sudden pain

right there or nausea or you’re gonna

have bowel changes diarrhea or

constipation or pain around your

bellybutton

or you might have a low-grade fever

because there’s an infection going on

but these are the early signs of

appendicitis

now remember when I was a kid I probably

was seven years old and I was

complaining of pain in my abdomen my

mother took me to the hospital and I

remember laying on this table and the

doctors pressing around to see if

there’s any pain and I remember him

pressing right over this point and it

hurt really bad and I didn’t say

anything so that could have been a

potential big problem but it really

wasn’t it was probably some something I

ate because I lived on sugar back then

but I’d said there wasn’t pain and then

I went home and nothing ever occurred

from that but there’s some really

important things that you can do to

prevent appendicitis and number one is

making sure you have enough probiotics

there’s many different types of

probiotics out there you get one that

survives the stomach but probiotics can

act to protect the colon against

infections so probiotics are really

really really important in keeping your

immune system really really strong and

also making healthy lactic acid to

prevent the unfriendly bacteria and

things that can set in in the lower

colon number two make sure you have

enough fiber to feed these microbes okay

and I’m talking about vegetables that

would be a good thing

number three cut the sugar down because

pathogens love sugar and we want to

avoid sugar thus the ketogenic diet

right

okay garlic is really good to kill off

microbes and prevent infections in the

large intestine time is an herb rosemary

is a good natural antibiotic but it only

really kills the bad guys not the good

guys onion is good oregano is really

really good

and you can see all these herbs are

normally in a pizza so go ahead and eat

more pizza and being very very sarcastic

you can put these on different foods

different dishes meats things like that

and radish radish is really really good

as well

apple cider vinegar is very healthy for

the colon and fasting fasting gives your

intestines a chance to chill out and

also allows the food to cycle through so

you’re not crammed and food down there

24/7 to set you up for appendicitis and

lastly if you haven’t seen my video on

digestion I put it up right here it’s

actually a very important video
