Homeopathy is a wonderful deep and gentle natural modality that focuses on the cause of disease, rather the the effects. It works by improving your immune system so that you can cure you. This is at the heart of all ill health. You can't cure you.
But that's what your immune system is for. So that you can cure you. The only reason it can't is because it's compromised in some way. The only way homeopathy works, is by improving your immune system. Not by curing you. But by removing the blockages that stop you curing you.
Whilst it can't be argued that removing your appendix will deal with the problem, it's not getting at the cause of the inflammation. If you can address that, then the symptoms will disappear as if by magic. They just melt away.
Appendicitis refers to inflammation, enlargement and in many cases bacterial infection of the vermiform appendix. This small tubular organ is the extension of the cecum, and it is believed to have a role in the process of digestion. When this worm-like organ is obstructed by calculus or feces, it becomes swollen and inflamed. When the inflammation is accompanied by bacterial infections, the progression of the disease is accelerated and the vermiform appendix quickly seizes to function. In the absence of an appropriate medical treatment, appendicitis can lead to serious complications such as perforation of the appendix, sepsis (severe bacterial infection) and abcess.
Appendicitis is known to be a surgical disease and its treatment commonly requires appendectomy. Appendectomy is a simple medical procedure that involves the removal of the diseased appendix from the body. Nowadays, appendectomy is considered to be a safe and reliable surgical procedure, and the risks of post-operative complications are minimal.
Unlike grown ups, young children and babies need special medical and parental care before and after surgery. If appendicitis involves bacterial infection, young patients are commonly administered antibiotics before and after appendectomy. Prior to surgery, children should also follow a strict food regimen, aimed at minimizing the risks of complications. Such regimens include soft, non-irritant foods and well-tolerated beverages.
In the beginning pain occur in the navel area known as hypogastria; after several hours they advance towards the right ileac fossa, where high sensibility appears and the patient desperately tries to protect it. Nausea, vomiting, fever and diarrhea are primer symptoms of appendicitis. Movements with the right inferior limb will also cause pain.
If not treated in time, the inflamed appendix may perforate and cause A severe infection of the abdominal layer known as peritoneum; the patient's status will worsen by high fever and generalized abdominal pain. Although pains in appendicitis usually start and then go away before a continuous pain installs, you should immediately call a doctor if you or your child accuse this kind of aches.
The surgeon will need specific data about the début of pain, its character and their localization. The diagnosing process will be based also on blood analysis searching for signs of infection, rectal and abdominal examination. Abdominal X-ray or echography can also provide information about the obstruction or inflammation in the abdomen.
