Appendicitis Debate By Championiere In Midi Vine Academy
A Paria physician, Dr Championiere, presented a paper at the French Academy of Midi Vine arguing that appendicitis is not a new disease but has increased in frequency and virulence due to modern living, especially meat consumption. He cites epidemic grips, diet shifts from vegetables to meat, and higher rates in England and the United States, urging avoidance of meat to curb cases. He notes the appendix’s vulnerability and links outbreaks of grip to subsequent appendicitis, asking whether meat-eating drives the rise while vegetarians show few cases.
