Appendicitis in three of my immediate family within 4 weeks!!!
Hey ya'll! Blast from the past, I guess... though I go by "Divergent" now....I used to be scarbedazzles, or "Scar" on here.

I'm faced with a situation that has me upset and completely confused.

My oldest daughter who lives at home got appendicitis one month ago... no biggie, right?

Fast forward 3 weeks....daughter #2 living at home, ends up in the ER with the same thing...they removed it also... emergency surgery....

Took a trip to visit family and saw my eldest daughter and grands....a week ago. Oldest grand, a girl, is having her appendix out today now......

huge WTF!!!!!

I've tried to research it but it seems unprecedented. Any thoughts???

GMO's are doubtful as the absolute cause..... this is three cases in the same immediate family in 4 weeks!

Did you eat blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, popcorn, okra or something with lots of little indigestible seeds? Those sometimes get caught up in the intestines but it is odd that so many people got it.

don't think so....

my husband eats enough popcorn to sink a ship and hs without symptoms...Dr's say it is not contagious, it's an infection.....research says only cases in close family within a short time....were a parasite....but the Dr's seem very un-interested. I thik if it were a parasite, we'd need to know....and medicate to rid ourselves of it. Frustrated...

Is there a way you can find out number? Like this town usually has 3 appendicitis' per year & now we've had 27 in 2 months?

So no blackberry with seeds jelly or raspberries or anything? A lot of families these days do not eat meals together and everyone just does their own thing. So you should be able to think if you all ate the same thing. Sunflower seeds or something? Did you eat any bread and think "This feels gritty"? Sometimes things get into the bread and they recall it, but only after someone complains of finding metal shavings or something. I found a bit of glass in bread once, looked to be part of a fluorescent light bulb.

no seeds....no foods in common that I know of....this covers two states...but we were together a week ago after the first two already had surgery....matter of fact, the second daughter flew within 24 hours after surgery.

Re: Appendicitis in three of my immediate family within 4 weeks!!!
Well I'm sure the cause is either bacterial or maybe viral.

bacterial between two states may suggest chem trails and/or a common genetic link....

of course i don't believe any of that. but i hear allegedly that governments are working on inoculating people using chem-trails.. which suggest both bacterial and viral vectors

to be sure, your appendix, according to holistic medicine, is the supercomputer of your gut, storing all healthy bacteria in your body - both incubating and carrying bacteria to the rest of your gut for proper digestion. being that our bodies are mostly bacteria and water (more than human Eukaryota cells) there maybe some hypothetical connection...And established allopathic medicine wouldn't even side with you on the holistic thesis of bacterial appendix function, let alone such a hypothesis that chem-trails of bacteria may have upset the natural bacterial balance in the appendics, and caused it to burst, under the influence of an infection.

GMO food does also not necessarily need to be ingested. Corn pollen alone can fly 100's of miles from GMO crops. There is also no reason why pollen itself couldn't carry viruses, bacteria, and/or chemicals.

In any case, you will never find evidence, let alone proof... That I am absolutely sure of.

as a quick note, however, imagine if there was a bacterial weapon which could cause a huge percentage of people exposed to it, to suddenly burst under chem-trail exposure/vectors with an inflamed appendix... imagine how many people they could kill if the emergency rooms and ambulances could not respond to all of them on time. such a weapon would probably be more effective on a small scale, and maybe even undetectable if it merely got the percentages of emergency visits up slightly. its called eugenics.

anyhow, 3 related people is troubling but I'm not sure if it would cause eyebrows to be raised in epidemiology circles....

all speculation

Did you find out if any or all of the removed appendices were in fact infected? Just because symptoms led to removal, doesn't necessarily mean the little appendage was the source of the symptoms.

Present to ER with symptoms, follow protocols = surgery= money.

Ask about the condition of the appendix when it was removed. Inflammation doesn't count, inflammation of any part of intestinal tract is common. ask about infection and necrosis.

Wow. weaponized bacterial, fungal, viral and/or chemical warfare using pollen or bug feces from crops as a vector. Sick!

"They knew some low-flying things that took pollen, digested it, stripping it of its proteins, and then let it drop. The Yellow Rain, many civilian scientists did and still do claim, was nothing more than bee feces, dropped by swarms moving through the jungle. As for the mycotoxins, any fungus that was in Russia was on the same continent, at least, as Southeast Asia. The disturbance of the air, and the "rain" might cause people to inhale the fungal spores or other fungal products in ways they otherwise wouldn't."

And that was from a long time ago.. it was never proved that bee feces or pollen was the vector. but its the only case i could find that could even hint at the possibility. And that was in the 1980's.

helico bacter pilori is a silent infection (discovered in the 90's) that affects the digestive system, causing chronical inflammations that can lead to ulcers and different troubles.

I don't think there is any earthly cause except huge, huge synchronicity.

I had mine out in my mid-twenties. Only one in my family.

it's strange but we were talking about it today. . . .


I don't believe there is any common thing except genetics, and the appendix is not programmed to give out at a certain age.

I would not worry - just wonder what the universe is trying to tell you . . .

Appendicitis is caused by constipation.

[link to fixyourgut.com]

"The appendix has recently been discovered to have a purpose in overall human health. The appendix is a storage organ for probiotics in the large intestine. In theory, the main cause of appendicitis is constipation that backs up feces and opportunistic bacteria into the appendix. Eventually, the opportunistic bacteria take over the appendix and the appendix becomes severely inflamed which leads to a condition known as appendicitis. Finally, the appendix might have been an extension of the cecum and aided in the digestion of cellulose."

"The problems with sitting on the toilet instead of squatting are numerous. When you sit on the toilet, it makes a narrow anorectal angle. The narrow anorectal angle obstructs the anus and causes you to not empty your bowels completely when you use the bathroom. When you do not completely empty your bowels, some stool is pushed back up into the colon when you stand up. Theoretically, feces back up eventually leads to appendicitis, from the irritation of the appendix from toxins and opportunistic bacteria that were supposed to be eliminated."
