Signed up for surgery after a CT scan showing 'uncomplicated' acute appendicitis I was given pre-op antibiotics that left me feeling pretty darn good in the morning of the scheduled operation. I managed to postpone surgery for 24hrs to see if the antibiotics would bring my inflammation markers down alone. It did and I was allowed to go home the next morning with a 7 day course of other antibiotics.
While in hospital I scoured the net for alternatives including Earth Clinic and decided to continue fasting (I hadn't been able to keep anything down and was on a nil-by-mouth for surgery anyway). First night home I did a bowel cleanse with 1 Tbsp magnesium oxide with glass full of water followed by juice of 1 lemon. Drinking lots of water -4.5 days in total fasting. I also drank 8oz glass of fenugreek water every morning for detox of the appendix (2 Tbsp fenugreek seeds/litre water simmered for 30min =0.5 hrs 3 cups) and broke the fast with buttermilk (3 cups/day) [-2 Ayurvedic remedies] and chicken broth loaded with rosemary and oregano. I did not need to start the 7 day course of antibiotics given me. Knowing my appendicitis was 'uncomplicated' gave me confidence and time to try other alternatives than the standard medical procedure of surgery. I am very grateful to God for the support He placed around me to be able to do this.

There are enzyme supplements that contain cellulase (a few enzymes make up that) and hemicellulase (I believe also a few enzymes).
Anyways, prevent or get rid of the fecalith, prevent appendicitis.
I would take them between meals and dissolved in water (break up capsule/whatever).
Doing it this way will avoid stomach acid and allow some to get through the stomach so that it can reach the fecalith.
I haven't tried it. It's just stuff I'm learning. Other helpfuls are castor oil and ACV, but I personally believe the cellulase and hemicellulase are key for prevention of appendicitis

I researched via the entire internet, including Earth Clinic, I scoured through all of my text books and materials. I'm a nutritionist with many years experience, I own and operate a natural health clinic using advanced technologies like Rife in North Idaho (nhcidaho.com). I completely reversed and healed my severe appendicitis in 2 days. I'm taking the time to write this in hopes it will help others. MESSAGE to earth clinic staff: my time is extremely valuable and I'm taking the time from everything else to write this, free of charge from my many years of vast knowledge and experience. Feel free to change or edit anything I wrote if need be for legal or any other reasons, so that it can be posted on your website and my time writing this is not in vain!
First I believe the primary reason for most appendicitis is simply a blockage preventing the flow from the appendix to the rest of the colon, I believe the mainstream and google pretty much echo that as well. Can be a blockage from too much fiber, like thick fibers like coconut flour for example, can be a blockage from too many years of build up and fecal compaction (not eating properly and not doing regular colon cleanses).
DO NOT PANIC, it's important to not panic as that can actually just make things worse! Just relax and consider the situation logically. If you don't feel comfortable doing any of this or feel it's just too severe and too far gone, then remember getting it removed surgically may be what you decide to do, if it ruptures before that it will leak stool into the abdomen and that is life threatening! So this is a serious situation that will require your full time and attention, don't do anything else, everything else can and must wait. If you have anyone available to help take care of you, explain the situation and make sure they too are giving full time and focus to the appendicitis, it's more important than anything else.
In my case it was caused from too much food grade bentonite clay! I was taking the bentonite clay to help soak up mold toxins from killing some candida I realized I had. It's also important to take bentonite with a lot of water, but I didn't drink enough, so I did too much clay, not enough water, and bammo ended up with Appendicitis. Within a day it was swollen and you can feel the referred pain in the lower back.
Here are the solutions that I did to completely reverse the appendicitis within about 2 days, keep in mind I employed just about every tool because I didn't want to take a chance of ending up in the death factory hospitals and I tend to go above and beyond with my regimens:
-Minimize food as this will take some load off things while you work on clearing the blockage, if you do eat ensure it's very light and easily digested, like organic bone broth or some raw milk/dairy which is full of probiotics, or some fermented foods.
-CLEAR/DISSOLVE THE BLOCKAGE: Drink lots of pure water with lots of Apple Cider Vinegar (1 Tbsp for about 16 oz water), fresh Lemon juice and Phosphoric Acid (Phosfood from Standard Process), add a good size pinch of sea salt or mineral salt, you can sweeten this with some stevia and optionally add any flavor enhancers or gut healing powder you'd like OR if in a pinch you can drink some pepsi or coca cola as those have phosphoric acid and can remove a blockage in about an hour, though those are last resorts as they are full of sugar, sugar may feed any infection beginning to occur in your Appendix. You can also supplement with stomach acid (HCL) with food or even on empty stomach with lots of water, this can also be very helpful. These are the best solutions available in the world to help dissolve any blockages, regardless of what they are!
-MORE HELP FOR CLEARING BLOCKAGE: At a good time, away from everything else you may be doing like before going to sleep, do a thorough colon cleanse, there are many available on the market, the one I had on hand was an oxy magnesium from global healing center. The colon cleanse alone may get rid of the appendix blockage! CONSIDER doing 1 TBSP epsom salt (in about 6oz water) along with your colon cleanse, or if you have no colon cleanse the epsom salt may do the trick. Epsom salt not only helps clear you out, but can relax your various ducts and tissues to help release any clog or blockage!
-INFLAMMATION & PAIN: Take anti inflammatory, such as frankincense, turmeric, and many others that are available, if severe or in a pinch you can also take ibuprofen as it is an anti inflammatory. This will help reduce the size and swelling, the pain, and reduce the chances of it rupturing prematurely. You can also utilize cannabis extracts however you'd like (smoke, vape, oral, topical), these are immensely pain killing and anti inflammatory, will help you be much more comfortable as well, THC is much stronger of a pain killer than CBD.
-PATHOGENS / INFECTION: It's a good idea to take 1 to 2 raw cloves of garlic per day to help kill any bacterial infection that may now be present in the appendix because of the blockage. Oregano or others are great as well. Killing infection will also help to reduce the swelling and inflammation. You can take antiparasitics such as bitter wormwood, sweet wormwood, with the black walnut and clove, there are many of these available on the market but I love the ones from Standard Process and Kroeger herb wormwood combination. You can also take ivermectin and FenBendazol. Ivermectin is powerful against many round worms which Hulda Clark notes are a common infection in appendicitis. Parasites may be part of the problem or cause, so this is a nice extra measure. You can also take some anti candida supplements/herbs as candida is found to contribute to 1% to 2% of appendicitis cases. Many hospitals try to first use antibiotics to avoid the appendix removal.
HEALING/SOOTHING SUPPORT: Put Castor oil topically over the appendix area (castor oil packs) and inside the belly button. You can add frankincense essential oil and pure DMSO to the castor oil to help penetration and inflammation even further. You can also apply things like Deep Blue stick from DoTerra, which is pain relieving and anti inflammatory.
-You can also take digestive enzymes and proteolytic enzymes, and various probiotics on empty stomach, these can help dissolve blockage and also the good probiotics can be helpful.
-LYMPH and CIRCULATION: try to walk around and get some movement in periodically, people have reported positioning their body upside down so that 'gravity' is working to help remove the blockage, if you see what the appendix looks like on a google image search, you can see how this positioning could help. If you feel comfortable with it and the pain isn't too severe you can do some light, gentle massage with a downward motion and/or vibration to the area while upside down. You can also take Thymex from Standard Process to help circulate lymph, the appendix is loaded with lymph fluid.
PRAY: I'm a Christian and believe God our father and creator heals, so we prayed and asked for full healing and restoration, while laying hands on the area. This is up to you of course, but praying to something like a wood carving or stone statue may not work! Be sincere and believe it will be healed!!! You can command and declare healing with your words, your words have power!
I also did a Rife pathogen scan with my machine, the 1st day showed no serious infection, but the 2nd day when more severe it showed infection popping up big time! So I treated the infection with the Rife which is extremely effective and can get places other antibacterials can have a hard time getting to. So my rife frequency therapy treatment was the night before the appendicitis was gone. I'm sure it helped a lot. You likely won't have this amazing tool (there are only 500 or so of this particular machine in the entire US) so just rely on other antibacterials.
I did not employ hydration enemas. I nearly did and if I wasn't healed from the other stuff I was definitely going to do this next. I've read a lot that those can be really helpful as well, again they can help to remove / open up the blockage in the colon. This is also a great way to hydrate (faster and more effective and safer than IV fluids) and even safely powerfully deliver certain natural medicines if you needed to!
RECURRENCE: If you're eating clean, healthy, organic, balanced diet, you should not get recurrence. IF YOU DO get recurrence, ever, it means you're DOING SOMETHING WRONG with your diet, lifestyle, etc. You also likely should be doing a colon cleanse at least once a year. You also may have low stomach acid, which decreases as we age, by age 65 is only 15% production compared to in our 20's! I won't get into it here but low stomach acid leads to indigested material and thousands upon thousands of other health issues. So you would just take around 600mg HCL supplement with each meal.
I also recommend you can take some whole food vitamin C and organic wheat germ oil (vitamin E). If you avoid dairy daily (not getting 2-4 servings) then you're likely calcium deficient and calcium is needed to fight infection in the tissues! It's also needed for inflammation response as well. So intake a high quality pasture raised raw dairy or food grade calcium supplement to help!

Did my research diagnosed myself with chronic appendicitis which is overlooked by most doctors they are looking at white blood cell count to tell them of infection. Chronic appendicitis does not appear to do that. It was suggested it is best to get blood draw when the fever is high, and have them culture the blood for infection, and just maybe the lab might detect infection Apparently, I had low level sepsis that goes undetected by most medical doctors because they are not trained to look at this. when my appendix would releases pus / bacteria into the system suddenly my heart rate would go up, fever/chills, felt like vomiting/ nausea, breathing rate increased, brain fog dizziness, with a dull ache on the right lower side or by the belly button . Also felt very tired because adrenal gland gets overworked due to long term illness.
This is what I did- cut back on solid food and juiced more, ate easy digestable foods, drank water with dash of sea salt, took walnut wormwood parasite cleanse plus GSE in water just in case Tommy is right regarding parasites. Drank fresh ginger tea with some fresh lemon and acv. Hired a smart Naturopathic doctor who quickly came up with UNDA remedies to drain the toxins out of the organs and help heal the appendix and suggested castor oil packs on my abdomen. I took natural blood detoxifiers all day long to clean the toxins out of the bloodstream. I'm now on the road to recovery.

Warning
I tried to wait it out a little and the paramedics yelled at me, asking me if I was crazy - they have seen way too many people who "waited" to see if the appendix would get better. They told me that when the appendix ruptures, it is one of the most painful, life-threatening conditions they have ever seen, and people often DIE from it. They have seen it happen many, many times. Obviously they have no personal stake in the outcome of my appendix, so if you don't trust my surgeon's advice, at least trust theirs.
Believe me, I believe in natural cures for almost everything, I NEVER go to the doctor, but when I thought I had appendicitis, I immediately went there. (By the way, my symptoms were that I had a dull, aching pain to the right of my navel that was constant and woke me up out of a sleep. It did not feel like a pain I've ever had before, not gas, not cramps, not stomach pain. The pain got worse with movement (getting out of bed, walking) and seemed to subside when I stopped moving. I lost my appetite completely and I also had a strong feeling/instinct that something was 'really wrong' and that I needed to go to a doctor. Other symptoms include low-grade fever and nausea and a pain that moves from the navel to the lower right quadrant of the abdomen.)
Personally, I applied castor oil with heat to my appendix area but stopped when I learned that applying heat can inflame the appendix further and cause the appendix to rupture. I also sipped a lot of water with ACV to calm down any infection until I got to the ER, but I also stopped that too when I learned you should not drink, either. Of course, maybe if I continued to apply castor oil and take ACV, it *might* have cleared up. But what if, what is more likely, it doesn't? The money I will have to pay for the surgery (I have no health insurance) is a small price to pay compared to the possibility of death. I am not going to play Russian Roulette with my own life. Trust me, the surgery is not that bad and if I'm sitting here typing this to you almost 24 hours after my surgery, the surgery is relatively minor compared to the risks of NOT getting it - don't you think? Basically, don't eat, don't drink, don't take ibuprofen or painkillers, GET YOURSELF TO A DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY if you think you have appendicitis. Your life is worth it. The bills will sort themselves out.

Appendicitis is serious and if you have it, run to the doctor. In my case, it was useless to run because all tests show up normal, but I have all the symptoms of recurring appendicitis. I have a version of it that is not routinuely seen nor acknowledged in the medical world. However, there are cases where doctor will remove the appendix because the person is suffering and the symptoms fall away. I want to hang on to all the parts that I was born with. So I will post again once my test results are confirmed.
