[Nobbc] Long strange trip

[don]

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.
