"Something made tonsils become swollen. Operation doesn't change that underlying problem. But the loss of tonsils is a loss of immune function. tonsils serve a purpose; they are part of the lymph system. The body doesn't have unnecessary parts. Now lymph system is weaker. tonsils are missing. "After tonsils come out, children eat what? Ice cream, plenty of ice cream. Ice cream is cold and filled with fat and sugar. Cold shocks stomach and intestines. Fat and sugar increases burden on lymph system. "From time to time, child gets cold or becomes sick. Child may get fever." - Tom Monte, The Way of Hope: Michio Kushi's Anti-Aids program (Get the book.)

"If you have enlarged tonsils, add fenugreek tea to your daily regimen. Fenugreek reduces swelling and inflammation in the tonsils and lymphatic system, eventually eliminating bad breath. Use 1 teaspoon of fenugreek seeds per cup of water. Gently simmer for 10 minutes, then strain and drink 16 ounces each day. If your tonsils remain enlarged for more than one week, see your doctor. You may have a bacterial infection. •Indigestion. Coffee not only leaves a bitter residue in the mouth, but also interferes with digestion. Both of these problems lead to bad breath." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.)

"It's also a major sign of tonsilloliths (aka tonsil stones)—small, whitish, foul-smclling globules of food particles, dried mucus, and bacteria that lodge in the folds of the tonsils. Having enlarged, deep-creviced tonsils or recurrent bouts of tonsillitis encourages the nasty buildup of such debris. People who have these unsavory stones sometimes poke them out with cotton swabs or sharp objects, but they usually come back. Foul breath can also signal seri- , ... , ,. ,. SIGNIFICANT FACT ous lung, kidney, and liver diseases." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.

"Even the tonsils and adenoids are not without unique value. There is some evidence to indicate that the only organs in the body that can produce a defense against polio are the tonsils and adenoids. If true, removal of these organs in children would make them more susceptible to polio. The Complementary Immune System At a certain point, when the macrophage immune system is totally overwhelmed, the "complementary immune system" kicks in." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"Take out the tonsils. No great loss, thought most surgeons. tonsils don't seem to do anything very important. At the time I lost mine, tonsillectomy was the third most common surgery done in the United States. Today it is understood that these little organs in our throat contribute significantly to the immune response.43 The very notion of "unnecessary" often involves cultural as well as medical judgments. For example, about two-thirds of all newborn males are circumcised in the United States." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"The tonsils are fully as important as the teeth, for among the psychotic group very few if any patients have had their tonsils removed in childhood. . . . We have found that many patients have been prevented from recovering by the fact that an error in the diagnosing of infected tonsils was made, thus allowing an infected tonsil to remain.18 When not every patient recovered, Cotton assumed infection must be present elsewhere in the body. " - Dr. Timothy Scott, America Fooled: The Truth About Antidepressants, Antipsychotics and How We've Been Deceived (Get the book.)

"Other key organs include the lymph nodes, the spleen, the tonsils and adenoids, and the appendix. Although you can survive without some of these organs, they are vital and irreplaceable. Removal of any seriously compromises the immune system. The spleen, for example, serves as both a staging area for the white cell defenders and as a blood filtration plant for removing worn out blood cells. Removal of the spleen leaves one highly susceptible to infection. Even the tonsils and adenoids are not without unique value." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"TONSILLITIS • Herbal Remedies for Swollen Tonsils A, ls the tonsils are part of the immune and lymph system, herbal remedies can help reduce the frequency of tonsil infections. Besides echinacea, a basic immune strength-ener, tonsil sufferers might try myrrh, Oregon grape and poke root (available at herb shops and natural food stores)?all of which naturopaths believe have antimicrobial properties and serve as tonics for the lymphatic system." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)

"You may be familiar with other lymphoid tissues such as the tonsils and spleen. The tonsils are also located in an area where you are commonly exposed to harmful substances (the throat). Your immune tissues are in locations where you need them most, such as your intestinal tract, throat, nose and lungs. They may not physically touch each other, but they stay in close communication with each other by producing protein-messengers, such as antibodies and cytokines. Antibodies are proteins that help the body tag or identify unwanted items, called antigens." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"I look in a mirror and my throat looks healthy, but the tonsils look more like the middle section [uvula] than like tonsils. So in my dream body my throat looks healthy, but different. I program for healing to occur [using affirmations], and my throat does feel much better on awakening.13 Ed comments: "Subjectively I would estimate that less than an hour had passed between waking and sleeping, and the pain had almost entirely disappeared. The next morning my right tonsil looked and felt almost normal, only slightly red and swollen." - Robert Waggoner, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self (Get the book.)

"Unfortunately, he found that this procedure only helped about 25% of his patients, so he concluded that removal of other bacteria-harboring sites was clearly necessary. The tonsils are fully as important as the teeth, for among the psychotic group very few if any patients have had their tonsils removed in childhood. . . . We have found that many patients have been prevented from recovering by the fact that an error in the diagnosing of infected tonsils was made, thus allowing an infected tonsil to remain." - Dr. Timothy Scott, America Fooled: The Truth About Antidepressants, Antipsychotics and How We've Been Deceived (Get the book.)

"Price discovered that infected teeth, tonsils, tonsil tags, sinuses, and similar areas of infection contain bacteria that can travel to a gland, organ, or other tissue and set up a new infection site. A complete discussion and summary of his findings is presented in the 1993 book written by Dr. George Meinig, Root Canal Cover-Up. The reason why Dr. Price's findings were "covered up" was that influential colleagues among the health professionals of his day disputed his findings and overrode and silenced his voice. Dr. Meinig summarizes Dr." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"Not long ago, tonsils were removed because they were swollen and uteruses because they were lumpy. We got it wrong with stents, too. Let me tell you how. Fifty years ago, heart attacks were a scourge. Everyone knew a working-age man who'd dropped dead from one. Medicine seemed stymied. That's when it became clear that the large arteries that feed the heart muscle, the coronary arteries, were clogged by atherosclerotic plaque in nearly every man who had a heart attack. Cardiac surgery had made great strides in fixing leaky heart valves, so why not fix clogged arteries?" - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)

"Lymph nodes, tonsils, bone marrow, spleen, liver, pancreas, lungs, and the intestines are also part of the immune system. As part of an immune response, white blood cells are mobilized and deployed to areas of the body requiring their assistance. Lymph nodes, which contain filters, swell because the lymphatic vessels drain infection by carrying it to the nearest area where an immune response can be organized. The lymph nodes most commonly recognized are in the neck and groin areas. Our bodies possess two kinds of immunity." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"No great loss, thought most surgeons. tonsils don't seem to do anything very important. At the time I lost mine, tonsillectomy was the third most common surgery done in the United States. Today it is understood that these little organs in our throat contribute significantly to the immune response.43 The very notion of "unnecessary" often involves cultural as well as medical judgments. For example, about two-thirds of all newborn males are circumcised in the United States. Neither the American Academy of Pediatrics nor the American Medical Association recommend routine circumcision." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared?

"When Mark was two he had his tonsils and adenoids removed. This seemed to help his reflux a little. Mark did not talk until he was three. At this time, it was still mostly grunts and pointing, with some sign language he had learned. "Mark seemed to be sick all the time, so he was not up to date on immunizations. At one point when he was not running a fever, we went to have them administered. A short time after this I began to see changes. He no longer wanted to be touched or held. He startled easily, did not like loud noises, would sit for long periods of time in a room by himself." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"Inflammation deep in the throat, with or without swelling of the tonsils, is also caused by lymphatic blockage. Tonsillitis, which often occurs among children, is a sign of constant retention of toxins contained in the lymph fluids and back-flushing of waste from the GI tract into the tonsils. Tooth problems are generally caused by nutritional imbalance. Poor digestion and overconsumption of refined, processed, and highly acid-forming foods, such as sugar, chocolate, meat, cheese, coffee, soda, and so forth, deplete the body of minerals and vitamins. Adults usually have thirty-two teeth." - Andreas Moritz, The Liver and Gallbladder Miracle Cleanse: An All-Natural, At-Home Flush to Purify and Rejuvenate Your Body (Get the book.)

"Lymphatic connections yoke it to the small organs of your body, such as your tonsils, bladder, kidneys, appendix, prostate or cervix, and gallbladder. It even connects to your teeth, which may explain why the condition of your gums correlates to aspects of your health, such as heart health, as many dentists have noted. It also communicates with the cochlea of the ear, so it has bioenergetic relevance for chronic hearing conditions or problems with the inner ear. Energetic Integrator 5 may be called the Neural-Hormonal Integrator." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"However, Professor Jim Home of the Loughborough Sleep Research Centre cites research findings that 20 per cent of children with mild to moderate ADHD appear to have sleep disturbances due to chronic colds, enlarged tonsils or breathing problems, and in his opinion the removal of tonsils or adenoids may often solve the behavioural problem. This is an area where medical and educational professionals could usefully work together. Other reasons for sleep disturbance include emotional difficulties and anxiety, which can cause nightmares, insomnia or bedwetting." - Sue Palmer, Toxic Childhood: How the Modern World is Damaging Our Children and What We Can Do About it (Get the book.)

"D-cells exist in the bone marrow and lymph tissue of your spleen, tonsils, lymph nodes, lungs, and intestines, where your body often comes in contact with foreign proteins, viruses, and bacteria. D-cells can shape how your immune system responds to a given situation. What's most interesting about these cells is that they have numerous vitamin D receptors, so vitamin D controls the activity and number of D-cells that participate in the learning process." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"But the tonsils' usefulness wears off at about age three. In many people, the tonsils keep right on trapping germs and getting infected. tonsils attract both viruses and bacteria (including strep), and you can see the results with a flashlight—swelling and sometimes a white coating. Infected tonsils cause pain, fever and swollen glands. You may also have bad breath and recurrent ear problems as the infection travels upward along the eustachian tubes. Short of surgery, there's no realistic way to prevent tonsillitis, says Barry C. Baron, M.D." - Matthew Hoffman and William Legro, Disease Free: How to Prevent, Treat and Cure More Than 150 Illnesses and Conditions (Get the book.)

"In terms of microbes, it correlates bioenergetically to many bacteria strains, including Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, and Legionella, so it is implicated in ulcers of the ears, nose, skin, tonsils, and bladder, and in dental root canal infections, gastrointestinal catarrh, and other associated conditions. Energetic Terrain IS As the last Energetic Terrain in the sequence, this is a general Energetic Terrain, called a GET in NES." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.) "Energetic Terrain 8 This Energetic Terrain bioenergetically affects the coating of axons, the bladder, and most organs and tissues found in Energetic Integrator 5, including the appendix, ileocecal valve, parts of the endocrine system, tonsils, some of the lymphatic tissues, many vertebrae, cerebellum, medulla oblongata, gray matter of the brain and spine, spinal nerves, and parts of the male genitalia. Energetic Terrain 9 The stomach and duodenum bioenergetically host this Energetic Terrain, which is correlated to bacteria such as Heliobacter pylori, Escherichia coli (E." - Peter h.

"We also need a doctor to administer the various childhood vaccinations (another cause of cancer), to prescribe antibiotics for an ear or throat infection, to tell us whether we need to take out the tonsils or appendix, and to prescribe drugs for nervousness and attention deficit disorder because we live on sugar, food additives, and fast foods or are deprived of our parents' loving and caring attention. Furthermore, a doctor is needed to tell us that we need statin drugs for an elevated cholesterol level, diuretic pills for high blood pressure, and an angioplasty to unclog our blocked arteries." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"The primary parts of the lymph system include the lymph nodes, spleen, appendix, tonsils, adenoids, and Peyer's patch in the small intestine. Their functions include the transportation of fatty acids from the small intestine to important locations throughout the body, the defense of the body against aggressive agents (pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and toxins), and the destruction of accumulated wastes or cellular debris. See chapter 3 and appendix C for more information on the functioning of the immune system." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)
