The development of science over the past two centuries has been so fast that scientists fell victim to their own arrogance. Everything in the human body that they did not find explanation, categorically declared “redundant”, rudimentary: thymus, tonsils, appendix, pineal gland … When Ilya Mechnikov discovered putrefactive fermentation in the intestine, reached the point that the colon recognized unnecessary and more than a thousand “supporters of progress” lost her with the help of surgeons …
Fortunately, over time, science began to rehabilitate “vestigial organs. Today, Russian and American oncologists made almost the same conclusion: people who have tonsils (tonsils) removed, cancer three times more often than rest. The same, doctors say, applies to those who were excised. appendix. By the way, earlier Americans fought hardest with all “unnecessary” organs: at the same time they removed the tonsils with the appendix from all in a row newborns. When in the middle of the last century the polio epidemic began, operated children are harder suffered the disease and died first.
What is also interesting: by the time of service in the army, such youths were 20 centimeters below their peers, they were painful, frail, mentally retarded. Then it became it is clear that the appendix and tonsils are important for immunity. Today American scientists recognize that out of a million of their compatriots, with which tonsils were removed, 999 thousand this operation was not need it.
In fact, the human body is conceived in such a way that in there is nothing superfluous. In particular, the appendix is important organ of the immune system and serves as a barrier to inflammation of the digestive tract. Thanks to lymphoid tissue tonsils neutralize infections that enter the body human through the nasopharynx. Coccyx, once also considered rudiment, plays a very important role in our body: to it attached muscles of the pelvic floor, many ligaments. Moreover, the coccyx serves as a support during the seat and when bending.
Rehabilitation of “unnecessary” organs in our body is possible proceed…
