Tonsilitis

Explanation

This is an inflammatory condition of the tonsils and lymphatic tissue of the pharynx usually due to infection by streptococci.

Considerations

The tonsils play a unique role in protecting the respiratory tract. When performing their duties of straining out, neutralizing and disposing of harmful bacteria, the tonsils become swollen. If adequate nutrition is established, the defense mechanism of the body easily disposes of the bacterial invasion, and tissue returns to a healthy condition. It is only very rarely that tonsils should be surgically removed.

Treatment

Antibodies and lymph cells are produced in large amounts as a normal response to infection. In addition, concentrated natural supplements are vitally needed to support adrenal activity and increase the ability of all defense factors in destroying bacteria, viruses and their resulting toxins. During infections, vitamin C disappears from the blood because it combines with toxic substances and in combination the two are excreted from the body. Thus the body requires rapid restoration of vitamin C in large amounts.
