Hi,


Can someone please help me what to do if you have "Tonsillitis"..... My friend has it and keeps using some nasty spray... can anyone suggest something else.... PS: She is not a raw foodist but tries to eat healthy, can't drink fruit juices due to her diet restrictions and etc.


Thank you.

Firstly, does she want, and has she asked for your advice?

yes of course she did! that is why i am asking....... all my friends ask me cause they know that i believe in this stuff, live it as well..... raw food part of my life..... and i always help when asked.

There is a lot of info on the web and in a book I like Prescription for Nutritional Medicine. I don't know what without researching but issues like this are usually immune disorders (infection). I would start with a good toothpaste like Periobright or the original company, I can't remember it right now but start there for sure. This is because you don't want to feed the infection with sugars or toxins. There is multiple mouthwashes to be made at home and even bought at a health food store.

thank u rzman.. actually i just got my bible book back on prescriptions and natural remedies and cures.. DD the t paste.. i thought abt it as well.

but i am open to any other suggestions.

thank you.

Here's what Norman W. Walker, D.Sc., PhD. has to say in "Colon Health"...

Tonsils: Should We Keep Them? p.41

“Did anyone ever tell you that tonsils have no useful purpose, and that they should be removed during childhood in order to prevent their having to be taken out later in life? Those who ascribe this theory do not know what they are talking about.

My medical dictionary brushes off the subject...” -Norman W. Walker, D.Sc., PhD., "Colon Health" p.42

“I have studied very carefully many of the books published by the brothers I. and G. Calderoli of Bergamo, Italy, recounting in detail the results of their 30 years of intensive research on tonsils, in the Universities of Vienna and Berlin. I have many of their books, written in Italian, and refer to them often. When I met Dr. Guido Calderoli in Bergamo, Italy some years ago, we discussed this subject very throughly.” -Norman W. Walker, D.Sc., PhD., "Colon Health" p.43

“...Swollen tonsils are among the most notorious afflictions of children and young people, purely and simply because they neglect to respond to the call of their bowels and fail to understand the importance of nutrition. ...Without having studied the reason why Almighty God placed the tonsils where they are, nor investigated the after-effects of removing afflicted tonsils, the general custom for generations has been to cut them out.” -Norman W. Walker, D.Sc., PhD., "Colon Health" p.43

“...Thirty years of study in Italy proved that, sooner or later, tonsillectomies reduced vigor and vitality in its victims.

The two Colderoli brothers spent 30 years in deep research on the subject, and this is a long enough time to arrive at many undeniable conclusions. Their conclusions resulted from innumerable studies on victims of tonsillectomies. These studies revealed that young women who were formerly normal in their affection and attraction for young men gradually had their feelings reversed, no longer wanting to have anything to do with them. Wives who formerly were a close-knit, loving and attentive member of their family, carefully solicitous of their children, husband and other members of the family, found themselves annoyed with the children, paid little or no attention to their needs and habits, neglected their household duties, and generally become slovenly.” -Norman W. Walker, D.Sc., PhD., "Colon Health" pp. 45-46

“The Calderolis proved that men and women who are 28 years old and less and without tonsils are less masculine and less feminine, respectively.” -Norman W. Walker, D.Sc., PhD., "Colon Health" p.46

“The removal of tonsils can readily affect the frequency and volume of menstruation, a fact that should alert women to alarm.” -Norman W. Walker, D.Sc., PhD., "Colon Health" p.46

“As I have already tried to emphasize, the loss of sex sensitivity in young women frequently follows the removal of tonsils. They become frigid. ...Such women lose their ability to enjoy life and to sustain the interest and the spirit of the man and of the family.” -Norman W. Walker, D.Sc., PhD., "Colon Health" p.46

“At the time Dr. Calderoli wrote his book, “Popoli Senza Tonsile (People Without Tonsils),” there were three large institutions in Italy for young women. They all refused admission to women whose tonsils had been removed. The deans of these institutions gave as their reason: ‘Generally, with their tonsils removed they are lazy, their character has changed as a result of the tonsillectomy, and their outlook on life has degenerated.” -Norman W. Walker, D.Sc., PhD., "Colon Health" pp.46-47

“The eventual result of tonsils removal has been reduced activity and cheerfulness in children, less buoyancy in young people, and general lassitude in adults. Weariness is noticeable in students, in married life, in the family and in social activities. Young women deprived of their tonsils are likely to lose their inclination towards normal sex conduct and develop an aversion to maternity. The famous Doctors Calderloi have proved beyond a doubt that tonsils are so essential in the life of the individual that their extirpation, their removal, can have frustrating, devastating effects and repercussions for the rest of the individual’s life.” -Norman W. Walker, D.Sc., PhD., "Colon Health" p.47

“...It is the condition of the system, as exemplified by what is taking place in the colon, that can make the tonsils give their warning signs.

The tonsils and the condition of the colon must always be considered and linked as warning factors.” -Norman W. Walker, D.Sc., PhD., "Colon Health" p.47

“...No one else can be responsible for your colon; it is your responsibilty.” -Norman W. Walker, D.Sc., PhD., "Colon Health" p.48

“Research has proven that tonsil removal is having serious consequences and great repercussions in the civil life of nations.” -Norman W. Walker, D.Sc., PhD., "Colon Health" p.48

“I personally, in my own direct contact with people have never known it to fail that when the tonsils are afflicted, enemas and colon irrigations cleared them up.” -Norman W. Walker, D.Sc., PhD., "Colon Health" p.48

Here's what Dr. Herbert Shelton has to say in "Natural Hygiene: Man's Pristine Way Of Life"...

The Unity of Disease
CHAPTER XX

We are confronted with a woman who has been sick for years and has "suffered many things of many physicians." She has asthma, colitis, a gastric ulcer, neuritis, inflammation of the neck of the womb (endocervicitis), headaches, backaches, and does not sleep well. Has she many diseases or is she merely a sick woman? Are we confronted with a number of separate and distinct entities or with varied local states of one systemic impairment? Is there one cause for metritis, another for colitis, another for ulcer, another for asthma and still another for insomnia? If we are going to treat her for several diseases, where do we begin? Do we treat the neuritis first or the asthma? Do we treat the uterus first or the stomach? Do we treat her for a variety of different diseases, each having its own cause and requiring a different treatment; do we farm her out among a variety of specialists, or can we think of all the so-called diseases as having a common cause, as being in other words, successive and concomitant evolutions out of the same persistent and increasing toxemia?

Do these several so-called diseases arise out of a cause that has existed from the beginning and still exists, the removal of which will permit the body to heal all of its local impairments? The reader, coming for the first time in contact with such a question, may perhaps be puzzled. Instead of treatment, the Hygienist would put the woman to bed and stop all food until she is comfortable and her secretions are normal, after which light eating would be adhered to for some time. The results of this plan of care are such as to justify the conclusion that no form of care that does not have as its most important objective the elimination of toxemia, of intrinsic origin and effect, can give dependable and lasting results.

A child frequently develops colds. It develops sore throat, tonsillitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, all of which are cured, and soon followed by another cold, another tonsillitis, another bronchitis, and this process continues until chronic disease of the lungs evolves. Or he may develop disease of the stomach, bowels, kidneys, etc. The fact is that, from the outset (that is, from the first cold), the child has not been well. Why? For the reason that the causes of organic impairment have not been corrected.

All diseases are one. Enervation develops out of wrong habits of living, secretion and excretion are checked and acute disease evolves. These crises are evanescent--the patients get well. They are said to be cured. They pass from under the care of their physicians, but continue to practice the same physical and mental habits that led to the evolution of the acute disease. Another so-called acute disease develops; it soon ends and the patient is again said to have been cured and the same wrong habits are returned to. This continues until chronic disease evolves.

Physicians are kept busy treating acute diseases and converting these into chronic diseases. They speak of curing these evanescent crises, but they should know that no health is ever returned to until the causes that are impairing it are corrected or removed. Chronic toxemia begins in infancy or childhood with never a complete respite from one or all symptoms. Pathology is a direct evolution out of the impairment of organic or physiological function--a result of the lowering of functioning power by enervating ways of living.

All so-called diseases are related. They vary symptomatically in keeping with the histological structure and function of the organ involved. Inflammation of the brain gives rise to certain symptoms, while inflammation of the stomach gives rise to other symptoms. The symptoms vary, not because the inflammation varies, but because the organs and functions are different. Even the standard symptom-complexes vary with the individual cases. No two are replicas of each other. They are modified by individual factors, by personal habits, by environment, by treatment and other factors. Treatment is a common cause of complications and intensifications.

In the common practice of medicine, a "local disease" does not seem to be recognized as a symptom of a general disease. This inevitably leads to a very partial, not to a panoramic view of things. Illness is general, yet there are many localized symptoms and pathologies to which specific names are attached. Each varying symptom-complex is named and treated as a separate and distinct (a specific) disease, but the intelligent student of pathology should know that all pathologies are fundamentally the same. Until the clinicians comprehend the unity of disease, they will continue to go in circles in a symptomatologic jungle.

Studying all the symptoms that have been so carefully and painstakingly sorted out and compiled into complexes and catalogued as so many distinct or specific diseases; watching the confusion created by physicians of high and low degrees, in their efforts to diagnose and cure, we cannot help but think that a recognition of the essential unity of all pathology would bring order out of all this chaos. Every part of the body is alive and has its own individual life and pathology--hence it is that each tissue or each organ lends its own individuality to pathological developments.

The folly of creating many diseases out of one is nowhere better illustrated than in the case of the man who has a very severe "cold." He may have inflammation of the eyes (conjunctivitis), inflammation of the nose (rhinitis), inflammation of the pharynx (pharyngitis), inflammation of one or more nasal sinuses (sinusitis), inflammation of the larynx (laryngitis), inflammation of the bronchial tubes (bronchitis), and inflammation of the tonsils (tonsillitis). The layman would say that the man is suffering with a severe cold; the physician, with his penchant for dividing pathology and naming a separate disease after each quarter of an inch of anatomy, would name the separate diseases just enumerated. Instead of a common cold, the man with a headache, running eyes and nose, stuffiness in the nose and difficulty in breathing, huskiness of the voice, soreness of the throat, drainage of the sinuses and coughing and sneezing, would have quite a variety of diseases. Yet, in point of fact, in spite of all the names that would be attached to the symptoms, he would simply be sick. Every so-called disease named above and many more unnamed in this list are but different "local" phases of chronic toxemia.

A similar picture of the confusion that results from naming the same condition in different locations as different diseases may be seen in colitis. The colon is a lengthy organ with several parts, and inflammation may occur in any of its parts, giving occasion for several names. We will take but two: inflammation of the sigmoid is called sigmoiditis; inflammation of the rectum is called proctitis. There is no line of demarcation between the sigmoid and the rectum. If in sigmoiditis the inflammation extends but a quarter of an inch over an imaginary line into the rectum, the patient would have two diseases--sigmoiditis and proctitis. It may work the other way around. In proctitis, if the inflammation extends a quarter of an inch over the same imaginary line into the sigmoid, the patient has sigmoiditis in addition to proctitis. This same merging of one disease into another may be seen in the heart, in the stomach, intestine and gall bladder, in the genito-urinary tract, giving rise to many so-called diseases. This is mere logomachy. Basically, there is but one disease. What particular organ is affected or what special form the pathology may assume and what special name may be attached to it is of little consequence. The so-called disease is always an expression of one fundamental cause, to which may be super-added a number of complicating supplementary causes.

It should be obvious that there is no such thing as a specific disease. Every so-called disease is symptomatic of functional and structural impairment and alterations of the body, depending entirely upon the mental and physical activity of the sick individual.

What we have said of the relationships of so-called diseases is equally true of septic infection--they vary symptomatically with the histological structure and its function. Infection of the brain is characterized by sleeping sickness; infection of the heart is characterized by symptoms of heart disease. Septic infection is an omnific influence and it does not matter from what source it is derived. It may come from a cadaver, from a calf (vaccine), from a focal point--a bubo, a chancre, a ruptured appendix--from putrefaction in the digestive tract, from spoiled food, a cancerous degeneration; its malignancy depends upon the amount absorbed and the speed with which it is absorbed. If its entrance is into the peritoneum, speedy death may result; if it is upon the arm, as in vaccination, it may spend itself locally; if it enters the circulation, sleeping-sickness may result. Its absorption may speed up any incipient pathology. The lymphatic glands of great numbers of children are on the defensive all through infancy and childhood because of gastro-intestinal fermentation and putrefaction. Many of these children evolve tuberculosis.

The human organism is an indivisible whole and anything that tends to interfere with the unity of its structure or the unity of its function becomes a factor in the causation of disease. What if the symptoms resemble chronic appendicitis or colitis or gastritis or ovaritis or neuritis or arthritis or indigestion or nervousness or sleeplessness or headache or jaundice or heart disease or Bright's disease or a lump in the breast or cancer? What if they resemble any of the acute inflammations, either obscure or out in the open? What if it is thought that it is a surgical case or one that needs psychoanalytic care? Whether the diagnosis is positive or open to question as to differentiation or degree of intensity, the doubts, the fears, the panics can be dispensed with in almost all cases by the simple process of eliminating the accumulated toxins. Recognizing the unity of disease and the unity of cause greatly simplifies the work of caring for the sick.

Oil pulling with sesame oil has helped many.

Thanks John Rose, hard to read because mine were taken out by these lunatics. I also had my Wisdom teeth taken out for no reason. All this stuff really irritates me, how could they be so stupid to mutilate people like this? I am going to look at my Colon Health book when I get home.

To simplify things from a natural health perspective, the simple / simplistic answer would be for your friend to do a combination of the following for 2 -4 weeks and see how she goes;
1. water fast
2. fresh fruit and vegie juice fast ( or diluted with water )
3. fresh juicy fruit.

That should give an indication of where she is at, although we don't know her age, if it's a one off or a continuing problem, and how serious and deep seated the problem actually is.

Probiotics-Primal Defense, Bowel cleanses, Immune Stimulators, Lots of good organic vegan meals, etc. I will read up on this tonight. It's all about the immune system. This person might have to go with something like Solvern Silver or somthing simular to kill infection. Just make sure they do something about it.

From Herbert M. Shelton's The Hygienic System Vol. VII Orthopathy:

Etiology: These troubles develop in children and adults who suffer with gastro-intestinal indigestion and who habitually overeat on milk, bread, cereals, and other starches, sugar, cakes, pies, preserves, syrups, pancakes, candies, ice-cream and the like. Add these factors to faulty elimination and such persons will develop trouble every time a drop in temperature, an unusual exposure, or an environmental stress places a heavier tax upon their nervous energies and, thus, puts an added check to elimination. “Adenoids” are less frequent in the breast-fed than in bottle-fed infants. Cereals with milk and sugar, fruits with starches and sugar; frequent between-meal eating—these will cause enough digestive derangement to produce tonsilitis.

A primary catarrhal condition, due to toxic saturation, is always in evidence preceding tonsillar troubles. Recurrent acute crises of catarrhal laryngitis, pharyngitis, or tonsilitis eventually lead to a depraved or weakened state of the mucous membranes and to chronicity. Scrofulous children, who are constantly in ill health, merging from one septic state to another, have frequent or continuous tonsillar trouble.

Care of the Patient: In acute tonsilitis, quincy, etc., no food should be taken until all acute symptoms are gone, after which a fruit diet should be fed for from three to five days. If the condition is chronic a fast or a diet of juice may be employed until the throat is clean and breathing is free and easy. Thereafter a fruit diet or fruit and vegetable diet should be fed until the tonsils are normal, after which moderate quantities of proteins and starches should be added to the diet. In enlarged (hypertrophied) tonsils the fast is sufficient to reduce the tonsils to normal. Care should be exercised not to attempt to reduce normally large tonsils.

It could also be fungal, for that reason and others I would not go this route and feed the infection. Solvern Silver is good for this along with all other immune stimulating factors.
