We just finished a long weekend and we spent a good 2 days in the vacation house in Calamba. Along with all the food tasting of what they got in Tagaytay. On the morning of the last day, Mil had incredible lower back pain (kidneys?) and lower abdominal pain (right side… misdiagnosed appendicitis?) I don’t care what they really were, treat them right now.
Lower back pain? I had Quantumin drops. Massage it. Then Oleia, massage it too. For the lower right abdominal pain, might be appendicitis, Mil drank 2 tablespoons of virgin coconut oil and chased it down with warm water. We drove to the nearest drug store and got all the castor oil they got, which was just 6 bottles, good to store that in the vacation house.
Mil was up and at the breakfast table when we arrived from the drug store. I gave her a 60ml bottle of castor oil for possible appendicitis to clear out here bowels. For all I care it may be misdiagnosed appendicitis. Just flush them all out with castor oil. I was surprised how easy it was for Mil to drink the 60ml of castor oil. We later applied castor oil packs on her back.
In 3 hours Mil pooped her guts out and the pain subsided 30 to 40 percent. My instructions were to go on a liquid diet. Coconut juice and coconut meat were ideal. Flush out all the bad characters.
Mil survived the road trip back home and by next day still had some pain. We prepared avocado leaves tea with a touch of honey for kidney cleansing. I volunteered that if she needed it, I could give her an olive oil enema.
Reminded Mil not to eat vegetables. Fiber is bad for suspected appendicitis like these. Fiber is bad for humans. Period. And vegetables are not as important as you think they are, period. Overselling vegetables to humans is trying to get by with cheap, miserable food. Vegetables are not a primary human food.
Update last night. Magically, Mil said, everything was now fine. No more lower abdominal pain, no more lower back pain, no more suspected appendicitis. Great.
And the idea thrown about regarding getting all those “medical tests” like ultra sound, MRI, etc.? Diagnostic machines are quaint, but some of them cause harm… like MRI. Action over diagnosis is better. Our kinds of action as described above are never harmful. Our kind of action can be looked at as first aid. If our actions had failed, then we could go to those “medical diagnostic machines”… where they would probably had given an anti-spasmodic drug and probably suggest surgery.
It is not important to have properly identified what the exact cause of pain in Mil was. The most important fact is that the pain had gone away. Was it inflamed colon that wrapped around to her back? Or was it kidneys that radiated to her front? Was it misdiagnosed appendicitis? No one cares. Mil is well and that is all that matters.
