My doctor in the UK confirmed to me last week that hernias could heal without surgery. I wish there was more information about this online. Tom's videos are brilliant.

Hey Tom, you rock! 🙌 I can't believe how similar all of this is for me: always skinny, intermittent fasting, active lifestyle (climbing, gym, hikes) And also based in Chiang Mai, lol! Love the video. Thanks for sharing. If you have any updates on exercises, diet, fasting, what works and what doesn't - post them! Me and so many others are so grateful 😃

Thank you, Tom.

I just had surgery for inguinal hernia. I told my doctor that when I don't eat dairy the hernia wouldn't pop out but he totally didn't believe me and said there is absolutrly no way to close a hole in your gut.. I am super intoned with my body like how you are and it is so inspiring to hear someone else who thinks the same about it. I started fasting 16 hours fasts every day. I stop eating at 7pm and eat my first small meal at 11am the next day. It is working so well to keep my body feeling great my intestines go crazy if I have dairy. Luckily I had the hernka sewed shut no mesh or anything at hoping it stays closed. Thanks for your hernia updates

Hi Tom, I am a 73 yo female. I had an abdominal surgery 15 months ago and have since developed a hernia (still pretty small) at the surgery site near the belly button. Your story has given me hope. I don’t want to go in for another surgery for all the reasons you’ve mentioned. I’m so glad to hear about your healing journey! I have found little about healing naturally so I’m excited to have found your channel. I do have a question about food. I been trying to stay within the guidelines of Eat Right For Your Type for my blood type. May I ask what your blood type is? Thanks so much!

Awesome man. Thanks so much

Thank you brother. Your the man. Namaste

Thanks for the video. I'm scheduled for inguinal hernia surgery in 3 days. It's good to see people sharing alternative remedies to the mainstream line of thinking that surgery is the only way.

Very honest guy thanks

Thank you man big love ❤️🌹

Right in. So glad I found. Left buldge, maybe? Fasting, lost 80lbs since November last year. Ate heavier on vacation. Right on man!

Thanks for these tips, Tom! I've been vegan for a quarter century already and don't smoke or drink, but I think I may have been eating too large portions of meals. I had a hiking accident in Jun and when my back didn't get better after a month and a half I saw a Dr. X-rays showed my back's ok, but what I thought was lymph node swelling turned out to be an inguinal hernia! I'd like to avoid an operation at all cost and came across your videos in search for natural healing. I'd start the regular 16-18h fasting routine you mentioned immediately and will also eat more raw veg, instead of frying them. The ginger and honey tea sounds good too! Did you drink that during your fasting hours? I got hernia support underwear a few days ago, which seems to help. Did you use that at all? I'm also wondering if age can play a role in natural healing (I'm in my mid 40s).

Hi all, I got one indirect inguinal hernia while practicing yoga (Dhanurasana position) on Dec 2022. The intestine came out and went back in. There's no visible lump. I had consultation with an ayurveda doctor. He told me that it's not serious it'll heal itself within 3 months. He advised the following: 1. consume protein rich foods such as mutton soup, mung bean etc 2. Control diet- no heavy meals, no spicy food, 3. Don't consume foods which will increase gas. He prescribed ayurvedic liquid medicines for gas releasing for 3 months duration.

Thank you for your videos Tom, any recommendations for sleep posture when the hernia is out? Thanks

Please upload more videos concerning hernia 🌹

Thank you

I take l-glutamine every morning. I mix it with cold water drink it then have marshmellow root powder hot tea. Both great for the Gut. I'm currently doing whole30 meals and cast 16 hours a day... it makes me feel amazing.

I'm staying away from any foods that expand the intestinal tract as in drawing in water, so no grains. I have hernia repair surgery in 3 weeks.

When you fasted (for either 18 hours or 40 hours) did you drink water during that time? Many thanks for all your help.

When talk about hernia being healed what do you actually mean..? Is the hernia gone..? I’m going for surgery next month & now I’m wondering if I should go through with it ..?

Hi Tom, i heard people say against 72 hours fasting for inguinal hernia, because 'your muscles get weaker from long fasting and that's bad / dangerous for your inguinal hernia". What do you think about this argument? I personally thought that it will help a lot due to the shrinking and giving your inguinal hernia / hole rest and healing. What are your thoughts? Maybe it's also important to think about how and what to eat after a 72 hour fast to not overload your inguinal hernia spot.. Let me know your thoughts pls

Thank you for sharing your journey. Do you ever have any discomfort or burning in the hernia area.

I unfortunately have chronic constipation and suffer with severe nausea causing a lot of scrotum pain. An iguanal hernia has been detected and therefore can adhering to a strict & correct diet offer the possibility of avoiding surgery. I’m aged 80.

Hello how was it to start exercising again after your 2 months recovery please? Mine doesn’t pops out already but if i do some very little few jumps or some exercise where i put pressure on underbelly and groin i start to feel pressure there and sometimes get pain in the groin. How did your getting back to exercising and doing sports go?

Pasteurized milk is no longer milk. I believe this is why people have so many problems with it. All the enzymes have been cooked.

What do you think about chewing, chewing, chewing your food? That seems to make digestion easier for me.

Hello Tom , I’m a 54 year old female . I have 2 inguinal and 1 umbilical hernia . Would you still recommend these exercise ? I do basic mat Pilates . And I use everyday some weights never over 20 pnds . And 30 indoor spinning Thank you

So i've notice a slight bulge above my bellybutton recently. I believe i've always had it, but it's become a bit more pronounced since i've been progressing with weight lifting. I've been reading about how Russians use various forms of fasting to cure many ailments. Dry Fasting has peaked my interest, soley because many use it to cure and strengthen fascia tissue, joints and connective tissues. I will be incorporating 2-3 times a week dry fasting to see if i can remedy this on my own. If not, then under the knife i'll go.

interesting thks. got hernia 22 year ago got surgery all fine since. strong effort could go to hernia or heavy weight lifting. Over weight or eating to much not that helpfull too. i believe maybe only strict water fast could heal it totally, like few weeks. if got another hernia will try it and post it !!

I would like to know if you've checked your hernia with an ultrasound to be sure it's completely heal. I'm following a lot of your advices right know and hoping I heal like you too. Greetings from Mexico 😊

I'm planning to go to a clean carnivore diet to heal my hernia. Because meat is digested higher up in the gut it should alleviate pressure in the inguinal area.

1- did you drink water or honey-water during your 12 hours of fasting? 2-did you completely ignored masturbation or sex during 2 month?

hello tom how long did u had your hernia or yrs where did u get your hernia and did you go to hospital u never had a surgery before?

Eggs are very healthy. They are a superfood.

What about eating eggs? İs it allowed?

How much time it will take to heal the hernia ?

Interesting but can you explain precisely why eating a lot of raw vegetables can help? I mean, they contain a lot of indigestible fibers, fermentable fibers, some of them can even cause inflammation and irritation of the GI tract (for example those high in oxalates or in lectins). So I guess that's not adding more bulk, more gas and more inflammation in the bowels which is supposed to help.

Did an of you have chronic diarrhea with your hernia?

You can build muscle to compensate for the hernias but as soon as the economy shuts down and you lose the muscle, guess what? All those injuries come to the surface. This is why retirees often start falling apart once they retire as my father did, which led to his untimely death. He had untreated hernias bc he thought he could manage them himself without surgery. He ended up with other pelvic problems, surgery, and a subsequent massive heart attack. Dont let this happen to you!!! I see a lot of uninsured young men on KZfaq trying to manage hernias on their own. Finance the surgery! Do whatever you have to do but get the surgery!!!

Thank you
