Tonsillectomy

An eye is not made or intended to catch and deal with germs. So, it makes sense to me that a severely infected eye could require removal. Tonsils, however, are intended to catch germs and in some respects become infected. It’s my opinion, therefore, that tonsils should be removed as an absolute last resort to dealing with infected tonsils. In my case, I believe that was not the case. Having the "extra" line of defense would be quite helpful in my current plight. —–= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =—– http://www.newsfeeds.com – The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! —–== Over 100,000 Newsgroups – 19 Different Servers! =—–

If this is the case then it is good medicine. However, tonsils have been removed as "preventive" surgeries. Many times conservative treatments (eg irrigating the tonsiles etc) are not being tried first. Again it is more benificial for the surgeons to just "remove" the symptoms, rather than to investigte the cause of the illness. After all we have the insurance companies to pay for the cost, so why not make the most out of it. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> I’m willing to bet that in otherwise healthy adults, tonsillitis is much > easier to cure without surgery than sinusitis is. > After all, irrigating the tonsils is real easy. :-)

I’m willing to bet that in otherwise healthy adults, tonsillitis is much easier to cure without surgery than sinusitis is. After all, irrigating the tonsils is real easy. :-) — Steven D. Litvintchouk Email: sdlit…@earthlinkNOSPAM.net Remove the NOSPAM before replying to me.

Hello, No, if i am any example. Lung trouble would be suspect, however. It is fungus amongus – i swear . . . I have known for many, many years it was fungus, now at last the Mayo Clinic is admitting it. Now here is the catch: i believe it is now being recognized or "admitted", because the new, "harmless", fungus-compound, bug spray is now in everyone’s sinuses and causing big-time trouble. Greed-stricken Corporate Society strikes again – Remember the Dalkon Shield, DDT, Tires etc. After the Dalkon Shield was found to destroy lives and kill us American women, then banned, it was surreptitiously sold to the 3rd-world with Govt. help and intervention, same with DDT to Mexico, then we imported their food, and ate it. The Arab world new about, and banned, the Firestone tires long before we new about it. One of the "Hard Tops"; found to collapse and cause brain injury, was banned, yet never removed from the road, so destroyed my young daughter’s and a passenger’s lives, in the form of a purchase of a USED CAR; now this bug spray – bet i am the first to tell you about it . . . + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + MustRead! http://WWW.PAMINIFARM.COM "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge" Hosea 4:6 ___________________________________________________________________________ ____ Posted Via Uncensored-News.Com – Accounts Starting At $6.95 – http://www.uncensored-news.com <><><><><><><> The Worlds Uncensored News Source <><><><><><><><>

Anyway, I don’t really understand why removing the tonsils is even warranted for anything short of a cancerous tonsil. It seems to me that if you remove the tonsils, you’re forcing the body to move it’s first line of defense back into more critical areas. we remove the tonsils for the same reason we remove a diseased eye – its infected, we can’t cure it, it doesn’t work any more, it is spreading disease throughout the body.

The talk regarding adenoids in another thread got me to thinking about tonsils. I had my tonsils taken out when I was around 8 years old. The doctor took them because they were doing my older sister and they figured they would do me, too! ( That’s how it was back "in the day" ). I don’t recall having any real issues with my tonsils; no more than a normal kid, from what I recall. Anyway, I don’t really understand why removing the tonsils is even warranted for anything short of a cancerous tonsil. It seems to me that if you remove the tonsils, you’re forcing the body to move it’s first line of defense back into more critical areas. So, I wonder how many people who had their tonsils taken out now suffer with sinus issues — and maybe would not have, had there tonsils been left to do their job. —–= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =—– http://www.newsfeeds.com – The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! —–== Over 100,000 Newsgroups – 19 Different Servers! =—–

It’s a fairly obvious thing to think of, but they have found no correlation between the presence/absence of tonsils and developement of sinusitis.
