Has anyone treated tonsil stones? - Page 2

[nerdymom]

I had very large tonsils, so large that I had practically no gag reflex. I had throat infections at least once a month, recurring tonsillitus, strep, ear infections and halitosis. Plus those disgusting little greenish stone things. Finally after dealing with this for 20 years I had them removed. It's been three years without strep, throat infections, bad breath or ear infections. Well worth it, though the pain of recovery was worse than my cs! They did a test of the bacterias in the tissue and found all sorts of things, including necrotic tissue and bacteria that is usually found in decaying teeth (though I have no diseased teeth). YUCK!!! I believe in natural healing, but in this circumstance the surgery was the best thing for me. I've never regretted it.

re: treating tonsil stones issue..

Hello...I just joined and I know all about the whole tonsil stones thing so I thought I'd comment. You name it...I did the antibiotics, doctor visit (he NEVER knew what the white stuff was) and I have a list of "objects" I've used over the years to pull them out. yuck...yuck...and more yuck!

It's embarrassing to say the least. I've researched and tried all kinds of junk over the years. I went so far as to set up a website, trying to help people and I have a rather homemade and cheesy video but I go share all the things I've done that worked and didn't. I thought it may be helpful so if you're interested..my site is called destroytonsilstones.com. I actually made the videos myself and I think they're pretty entertaining and funny considering the fact that I'm talking about tonsils tones. LOL. I joined another forum last night that was talking about the whole tonsil stone thing and told them about my site and they kicked me out this morning soooo I'm not sure if you guys will kick me out too...but just sharing something I thinks helpful. Please email me and let me know if it's wrong for me to mention my site in here?
Thanks!

I had tonsil stones. I would open my mouth and they would fly out. GROSS! I had my tonsils removed at the age of 35. It was very painful; I couldn't even swallow my saliva. I managed to lose 10 pounds after surgery (something I needed after having a baby). However, I have not had any stones since and it's been 10 years. Dr. Katz makes a toothpaste & mouthwash that is pretty good but expensive--TheraBreath. Good luck!
