Ron,
My appendix nearly ruptured when I was a kid! Of course, I had surgery to
fix it. In the many years since then I have discovered that it is not the
normal state of humans to have their appendix fail on them. However, if a
person's diet does not have suffiecient fibre, it does create some issues
in the digestive tract, among them an appendix that is prone to
failure. People who eat unrefined food with lots of fruits and vegetables
do not develop appendicitis.
Anyways, diet does matter.
