Tonsillectomy - DON'T DO IT!

[Guest guest]

Hi Donna,

I'm 30 and have ADD/Aspergers (and a whole lot of other things they

don't have a name for yet involving PFC, frontal lobe, etc.), high

mercury levels, dysbiosis, etc.

I grew up with strep throat once or twice a month from about 3 or 4

until I was 16, when they finally took my tonsils out. I stopped

getting strep throat, and the next month, I got my first sinus

infection. They plagued me for another 8 years until I fired my doctor

and read " Sinus Survival " by Ivker. All it took to go from 20 sinus

infections/year to 1 or 2 was hot salt water and the willingness to use

it. I've since added xylitol and baking soda to the mix. You basically

wash out your nose with it, or use it as a nasal spray. Xylitol gum

chewed after every meal, especially sugary/wheat meals, will help a lot.

Guaifenesin will help a lot with nasal drip and won't make kids insane.

(ask the dr. for Guaibid; it's much better than drinking Robitussin,

which uses guafenisin along with dyes and sugar and some psychoactive

crap). Your best bet is to get rid of metals, heal the gut (check out

SanPharma stuff), use amino acids, and let the immune system work.

I've read a few things about tonsils playing a role in immune function.

To this day (14 years later) I still wish I had my tonsils - they were

removed out of ignorance, not need.

Thanks,

Dave

Hi everyone!

Just got back from seeing the ear nose and throat doctor and he tells

me we basically have two choices, the first is treating ph's

chronic strep with antibiotics (which most of you know causes a whole

other set of problems) and the second, tonsillectomy. I have

contacted my DAN doc and am awaiting his take on this. I would like

to know if any of you have had to make this decision? I look forward

to hearing your advice. Thanks!
