Could your Appendix Save your Life - Maybe NOT Useless after All - Parkinson's Disease Connection

The humble organ may help us recover from serious infections. Your appendix is a thin tube in your lower right abdomen. It sits where your small intestine meets your large intestine.

Historically, many people have considered the appendix to be a useless, evolutionary relic that sometimes turns serious when it becomes severely inflamed. But the reputation of the appendix is improving. Researchers are learning that your appendix may play a role in good health. Experts are also developing less invasive ways to treat infections of your appendix.

The appendix may actually be a critical immune organ and that one of its primary functions is the maintenance of healthy colonies of beneficial bacteria in the gut.
