Re: tonsiloctomy

[Guest guest]

I agree it is such a big thing to take the tonsils out. We are also consulting

with very good Chinese acupuncture clinic for my son - once per week they do

scalp acupuncture for him and the doctor there is very much against

tonsillectomy, like you said. However on the other hand my son is the only child

from this clinic who doesn't show any big improvements with the acupuncture. All

other kids started either talking after that, either big leap cognitively. My

son's PANDAS symptoms are so severe again (they go up and down constantly for

the past few years) and it seems nothing is helping with that. He is currently

on Azithromycin antibiotic, but for some reason his symptoms are again little

worse than 2 months ago. We have tried homeopathics and herbs in the past, plus

some Chinese herbs that were given to deal with OCD, but nothing has worked.

Right now I am really hoping that the tonsillectomy will make a difference,

although as every mother I am so scared of the surgery. One of these decisions

that it is so difficult to make.

On the other hand when the EENT doctor saw my son's tonsils he said no wonder he

is having difficulties with his sleep and snoring (sometimes my son is snoring

when he sleeps), so he agreed these tonsils are not healthy. We were thinking

doing the Cryotherapy in Germany, but my son would not stay 18 seconds with open

mouth without moving at all and approximately that's how long I read it takes to

do the procedure. Has anybody done the Cryotherapy and share your experience

with it?

Thanks a lot,

> Regarding taking the tonsils out, has been a big debate. As DR K. Recommended

the same for our son. DR K's would like our kids to keep their tonsils, but as

far as I know no one in the USA lasers tonsils like they do in Germany. Using

Laser would leave the tonsils in and healthy but it can take up to 3 treatments

( if you live there or can stay in Germany for months that is a wonderful way to

go).

tonsils sit just under the brain, this causes our kids so many problems

neurologically as well as their immune system, behavioral issues and so much

more.

IVIG, acupunture, & antibiotics forever; I had to move forward to get my son

healthier.

> Also know that the tonsils hold strep, hold your child's progress back, along

with behavioral issues, growth in many areas, and even their mental well being;

I think it also has affected my son's over all body growth, because so many

years he did not want to eat much, and that was a huge issue. When the strep

went down, his appetite went up! This is just my own impression, that strep or

any serious bacterical infections, cause our kids
