Why You Need a Truss
The weak muscles at the rupture opening can't possibly get strong without the aid of a truss that will do what the muscles themselves are too weak to do; a truss that will hold the bowels in place.
But trusses which will do that even half the time are mighty scarce.
Thousands of sufferers have tried truss after truss in hopes they would finally get one that would do it; and to this day haven't found such a truss.
All trusses and "appliances" claim to hold you together.
But ordinary trusses—those with bands or belts or springs around the body, those with leg-straps, those sold by drug-stores and "Hernia Specialists"—are absolutely wrong in principle, construction and action.
They are like trousers worn without suspenders or belt—continually slipping—you've got to keep adjusting and "hitching them up."
The "harness" shifts or pulls the holding pads away from the rupture opening.
Thus your rupture is continually coming out—Nature never gets the ghost of a chance to start any healing process.
But even if such trusses did hold the rupture in place, that alone could never result in cure; couldn't even result in improvement.
