Guest guest Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 I know it is against most peoples ethics and sometimes my own but I am desperate measures after suffering 7 days by being put on antibiotic and herpes therapy.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Hello All! This is Meli here and since we're on the topic of oral health issues, I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on these funny little white spots that grow in the tonsil and other throat areas that don't taste very good....and give me the compulsion to chew gum all the time? Where do they come from, and how does one eliminate them? Thanks in advance! Meli How low will we go? Check out Messenger’s low PC-to-Phone call rates.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Is your throat sore? Do you still have your tonsils? I imagine it is your tonsils causing this...but since I don't know your eating/drinking habits or any other habits, can't say for sure.... Read the article below I have on file..it may help you. If your diet suffers, you will too. Tonsils have pits, known as "crypts." The outer surface of the tonsil, including the crypts, is covered by a "skin" called mucosa. Mucosa is the tissue that lines your mouth, nasal cavity, sinuses and gastrointestinal tract. This lining sheds (just as your skin sheds constantly, usually without your awareness). In some individuals, shed tonsil mucosa can build up within the crypts. This accounts for the white spots. In some unfortunate folks, this material hardens and forms "stones," or "tonsilloliths." These can be quite irritating, enough so that a tonsillectomy may be warranted to get rid of the problem. In your case, the white spots don't even rise to the level of annoyance, so tonsillectomy is out of the question.You should see a doctor, however. There is a small chance that you are getting recurrent strep throat (throat infection caused by Streptococcus bacteria). I think this is unlikely, because you state that your throat is only occasionally sore, and strep throat is typically very painful. Nevertheless, it would be worthwhile to have a doctor take a throat culture at a time when the white spots are very prominent. To take a throat culture, your doctor will quickly swab the suspicious area and send the swab to a microbiology lab, where they will determine whether or not you are having a strep infection. Rapid, in-office test kits can determine the same thing. It is very important to eliminate the possibility that you are having recurrent strep throat infections, because a small percentage of people with untreated strep throat will develop kidney disease or heart disease (rheumatic fever) as a complication of their strep infection. Either problem can be devastating. So, to set your mind at ease, have a doctor take a throat culture when the spots are thick as thieves, and perhaps also when your throat is sore. Try using Super Tonic as a gargle and also taking it daily.Mel Malin <mels.here@...> wrote: Hello All!

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Hi Meli, I see Suzi gave you some good information. Tonsils are, shall we say, an organ of elimination. Sounds strange but it is true. When the body is toxemic or full of toxins, including metabolic wastes or what mainstream society call mucus, it, the body, will do all it can to eliminate this waste and toxins. The tonsils are one area where elimination occurs for the express purpose of sending this crud down our throats to be neutralized and eliminated via the digestive system. It really is a shame that some medicos still believe in removing the tonsils. This does not eliminate the cause but only eliminates the elimination channel. What you are experiencing is your body doing all it can to rid itself of toxins and metabolic wastes. This occurs when we eat too much cooked food, processed food, junk foods, dairy, meats, grains, etc. You wish to eliminate the cause then you need to consider changing your diet to a more natural raw food diet. The more raw foods you eat the easier it is for the body to cleanse itself of toxins and metabolic wastes. Just something for you to consider. You can go and see an MD if you so choose, but you can also be responsible for your own health and change your diet and lifestyle to be more harmonious with nature and allow your body to heal and cleanse itself.
