Hi David

How about info on healing your issue.

Herbal Aids
1.BF&C: A number of patients with hernias and ruptures have used the "bone, flesh and cartilage" formula with great success. This formula, which will be given, is applied over the afflicted area as a fomentation a day and night, using a truss or pad to hold in place. Then soak some flannel in this tea and apply. It can also be obtained in a concentrated liquid form or as an ointment. Use whichever type is best in your case. It is also helpful to take the formula internally as a tea, or in capsule or tablet form--two or three of these three or more times per day: This can be purchased under the Christopher name of Bone, Flesh and Cartilage.

Bone, flesh and cartilage (comfrey combination fomentation). This is an aid for malfunction in bone, flesh, sinews, etc. Make a tea of the following herbs: six parts oak bark, three parts marshmallow root, three parts mullein herb, two parts wormwood, one part lobelia, one part scullcap, six parts comfrey root, three parts walnut bark (or leaves), three parts gravel root. Soak the combined teas in distilled water, then soaking four to six hours, simmer thirty minutes, strain and then simmer the liquid down to 1/2 its volume and add 1/4 vegetable glycerine (if desired). Example: One gallon of tea simmered (not boiled) down to two quarts and add one pint of glycerine.

Soak flannel, cotton, or any white material other than synthetics (never use synthetics). Wrap the fomentation (soaked cloth) around the malfunctioning area and cover with plastic to keep it from drying out. Leave on all night six nights a week, week after week, until relief appears.

Drink 1/4 cup of finished concentrated tea with 3/4 cup of distilled water three times in a day.

2.Cleaning Bowels: For hernias we recommend keeping the bowels clear and open through the use of the lower bowel formula, [Fen LB] plenty of fresh juices, a light, mucusless diet to eliminate the strain of bowel movements, and the application of the Bone, Flesh, and Cartilage Formula to the hernia area as a fomentation. All stress and strain on the area must be removed while the area is healing. The fomentation should be applied in the evening so that it can remain on the area all night. During the daytime, the BF&C ointment can be used if the fomentation is inconvenient. BF&C capsules or tea may also be taken daily: either two or three capsules three times daily or three cups of the tea. Continue treatment six days a week fasting with distilled water on the seventh until the hernia is healed.

Best of health to you

Cheers

STOP!!! You can lose your testicle if you continue to workout. They call it strangulation. By continuing your workout you may adversely cause your testicle to lose blood flow which will require immediate surgery to REMOVE the testicle.I know its hard man but my doc told me that some people are more inclined to get hernias(genetics). The only thing you can do is make sure that you are using correct form while working out. Poor form can lead to numerous problems including hernias. Also make sure that you are working within tolerable limits. Its not all about weight its about consistency and quality. Sloppy form=sloppy body
