You really do need your tonsils!

In this video, I explain what tonsils do and why you really need them even though you might have been told you don’t.

People get told that they don’t need their tonsils; that they’re an extra organ and they can do just fine without them. I’ve noticed that those who say this are in the business of removing tonsils!

You don’t have any extra organs that you don’t need. You need them all. The organ wouldn’t be there if there wasn’t a purpose for it.

Tonsils are there to keep microbes from getting into your lungs and creating a respiratory infection. Removing your tonsils increases your risk of getting one. Your T-cells get activated, antibodies are created as part of a standard immune response.

(You also have lymphatic tissue in your armpits, to keep microbes from entering into your extremities.)

When I talk about tonsils, it’s not just one. There are four different sets of lymph tissue located in the back of your throat.

The two remedies that support your lymph system to do its job better are zinc and vitamin D.

What I’ve also observed with people who have chronic tonsil infections or swollen tonsils is that they’re almost always on a diet high in sugar or dairy. So I recommend you drastically reduce or eliminate sugar and dairy from your diet.

You may also find fasting helpful. In fact, you may find that your appetite goes away, which is a sign that your body is trying to get you to fast. Fasting is important to help strengthen your immune system.

Your tonsils are important!
