Junk In The Tank

For generations we all knew that there was this organ in our body that we had little or no information about, that is our Appendix. It has been dismissed as superfluous,at often times we question science and God for it's existence. Most doctors and surgeons figured out that it had no function and had them routinely removed yet,people lived fine without them. When infected, it could turn real deadly.This is about to change our views right now!

There is a new research made by the Duke University Medical School, They found out that the appendix seems related to the massive amounts of bacteria populating our entire digestive system. Sometimes the normal flora (natural inhabitant) of bacteria in the intestines die or are purged.Deadly diseases such as cholera and dysentery would extinguish the useful bacteria. The appendix replenishes useful bacteria in that case.(from the Journal of Theoretical Biology)

As my conclusion to this, do not take this little guy for granted and thank it for supplying us good bacteria to fight the harmful ones. There are little things in life we take for granted, what we didn't knew could save our lives someday. Hope this article opened your mind somehow. Ciao!
