All about Throats and Tonsils
Throats and tonsils are very vulnerable to infection. The throat is the passage through which we take in air - either directly or through the nose. The air that we breathe contains many pollutants (e.g. cigarette smoke or environmental pollution) as well as viruses and bacteria that may infect us with the flu and other illnesses.
Throats may become swollen, red and painful when viruses like the common cold or flu attack throat tissue. A bacterial condition commonly called 'strep throat' (caused by streptococcus bacteria) can also result in extremely sore throat and infected throat tissue.
The throat also contains our tonsils, which are two sacs of lymphatic tissue situated at the back of the throat. Tonsils are extremely important in protecting the body against infection and help to guard against inhaled or ingested organisms. They also produce antibodies which help to fight against nose and throat infections. They may easily become infected, especially in childhood. Symptoms of tonsillitis include swollen tonsils, sore throat, difficulty swallowing, bad smelling breath, fever, listlessness, flushed cheeks and a glassy eyed look.
Unfortunately recurring tonsillitis often leads to a tonsillectomy (surgical removal of the tonsils). Although doctors these days are more aware of the important role of the tonsils in immune functioning and children's tonsils are not whipped out quite as readily as they once were, this is still fairly standard practice for children who suffer from recurring bouts of tonsillitis and is one of the most common surgical procedures performed on children.
Once the tonsils have been removed, children lose a very important line of defense against infection and may be more susceptible to viral and bacterial infections, as well as allergies. It is therefore important to be sure that there are no other options before agreeing to a tonsillectomy.
How are throat infections and tonsillitis
usually treated?
For sore throat caused by viral infection like colds or flu, treatment usually involves OTC (over the counter) medicines like pain killers and lozenges to suck until the infection clears. Strep throat and tonsillitis are usually treated by antibiotics. While antibiotics can quickly clear the infection within a couple of days, regular use can weaken the immune system and result in recurring infections.
It is important that strep throat and tonsillitis are treated as they can lead to further infections elsewhere in the body. However, it is also important to know that antibiotics and OTC remedies are not the only options for treating these conditions.
There are many effective natural alternatives to OTC medicines and antibiotics routinely prescribed for strep throat and tonsillitis.
Natural herbal and homeopathic remedies can help to safely reduce the symptoms of these conditions, clear the infection, cut recovery time and also strengthen the immune system to prevent recurring infection.

How has Throat and Tonsil Dr. helped others?
?My daughter has suffered from tonsil infections for years and some seasons it seemed like it was just antibiotic after antibiotic until my doctor recommended removing her tonsils. I really couldn't agree with that and found your website after a search for alternatives. To say I was skeptical is an understatement but anything was worth trying. To my surprise, your Throat and Tonsil tablets were successful from the start! Since the first treatment 8 months ago, there have been no antibiotics and no recurring problems. She had a sore throat once and we started the treatment and it seemed to go away by itself without developing anything. I am holding thumbs that we have found a lasting solution and have subsequently used some of your other remedies with good results. Thank you!?

?I have used the Tonsil & Throat Dr. for my son and had great success in treating his recurring tonsil problems. Your products are wonderful and I recommend them to everyone I know.?

?I have suffered SEVERAL episodes of tonsillitis and have tried EVERYTHING. I can't tell you how many frustrating doctor's visits I've had with simple "tonsillitis" diagnosis and given every type of prescription that just don't work. Not only did they not work, but the prescriptions weakened my immune system even more where I had even more reactivations. I had enough! I wanted something non-prescription to help me avoid reactivations, plus help me avoid the looming tonsilectomy that every doctor seemed to tell me was the only solution. Tonsil Dr. not only saved me from several looming episodes of tonsillits (if you recognize the first signs right away - you've probably had it too much too), but it helped me really further investigate these reactivated/chronic episodes. If you've had mono once before and several reactivation symptoms that never test positive for mono, the problem might be in your immune system and not in your tonsils (or course, seek professional medical opinions as well). Also, I'm just under 5 feet tall and just under 100 pounds and my immune system is pretty lame. Sometimes we look for quick fixes from doctors to help us get back to our day to day lives, but if you suffer several episodes as well, stop and listen to what your body is telling you. Until you really understand what is happening and proceed from there, this is a WONDERFUL solution to keep you going.?
