When the peritoneum is torn, the intestine can protrude through the front wall of the abdominal cavity. If the intestine is not pushed back in at once, flatulence can make it impossible for it to be returned to its normal position. The result is a so-called strangulated hernia, which requires immediate surgery. However, if the hernia is not strangulated, it is possible that a well-fitting truss can retain it in place, thus giving some relief.

In the past, tens of thousands used to die of tuberculosis. As recently as fifty years ago consumption, as it used to be called, was still considered more dangerous than cancer because men and women were carried off in the bloom of their youth. Happily, a change of life-style, healthier housing and living conditions, more nutritional food rich in calcium and vitamins, breathing oxygen-rich air and exposure to plenty of sunlight were found to be the means to almost eradicate tuberculosis. Moreover, the patients who were released from sanatoriums as cured would have developed an immunity to the disease. The bacteria would have been encapsulated and rendered ineffective and if the patients continued to observe certain guidelines they would be unlikely to suffer a return of the disease.

The important thing in protecting oneself against bacteria is, therefore, to strengthen the body’s defences – the immune system. A deficiency in vital substances or nutrients, as well as unhealthy external conditions, can weaken this wonderful defence system or even destroy it. Expressed in military terms, this would mean creating a weak position in an otherwise well-protected and defended front line. The enemy would be able to penetrate where the defences were down – and so it is with the immune system in its fight against invading bacteria.
