Guest guest Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Hi Bee, I have been on your diet for 11 months and feel better in many ways, but still have 27 months to go till perfect health:) I was gettng ready to start on probiotics, but now I see it's no longer part of your program. I had my appendix removed many years ago, and recently read an article on Mercola.com that an appendix is important for keeping bad bacteria under control, here's a link http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/09/17/Your-Appendix-is-U\ seful-After-All.aspx Do you think taking probiotic in the case you have no appendix would be beneficial? Thanks so much, Anni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read that the appendix " may be " responsible for producing good bacteria that is " needed " in the large colon. However I cannot agree with this article, that the appendix is a vital safehouse where good bacteria lie in wait for when they are needed. Where do the good bacteria in the appendix come from? Does the appendix itself produce them - please notice that the article does not say the appendix " produces " good bacteria. I can't find anything that states the appendix produces them either. If the appendix has all of this good bacteria and the good bacteria keep bad bacteria under control, then how can the appendix become inflammed and abcessed with bacteria? Isn't that circular thinking? It is difficult to address all of the things in this article that are false, i.e. antibody theory, germ theory, etc. which means the information in this article is very slanted. It is also physically impossible to take probiotics by mouth and have them implant good bacteria in the large colon. The only way to implant them is by probiotic enemas. It won't hurt you to do probiotic enemas if you are concerned, since I don't have this figured out yet. The best to you, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 I'm not sure if this is a coincidence, but 7 years ago I got my appendix removed b/c it was inflamed. I have not been well for the past 5. > > > > Hi Bee, > > > > I have been on your diet for 11 months and feel better in many ways, but still have 27 months to go till perfect health:) > > I was gettng ready to start on probiotics, but now I see it's no longer part of your program. > > I had my appendix removed many years ago, and recently read an article on Mercola.com that an appendix is important for keeping bad bacteria under control, here's a link > > > > http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/09/17/Your-Appendix-is-U\ seful-After-All.aspx > > > > Do you think taking probiotic in the case you have no appendix would be beneficial? > > +++Hi Anni.
