[YEA] 12/24/2009: Rosemarie from Greenwich, Ct writes: "Tonsillitis
I had the worst cold ever. I rarely ever get sick and if I do, I usually drink a little apple cider vinegar with honey for a day or two and it's gone! But, this cold was all in my nose and throat. No fever, no sneazing, no chills! I took everything! Vitamins, applecider vinegar with honey, Tomatoe tea, vinegar, honey,salt and lemon tea, and I even gargled daily. Well, it seemed that it was all fom my sinuses and it was draining down my throat,I started getting an ear infection and then it hit my tonsil! It seemed inflamed and that was when I took out the bottle of apple cider vinegar. I poured about 1/4 of a small glass full and then gargled it straight! Voila! No more tonsil pain, no more cough and my voice returned to normal. Those germs ran away!"

[YEA] 03/05/2010: Gp from Hobart, Tasmania writes: "The few times I've had tonsillitis, I've noticed extra virgin coconut oil cures it in 24 hours. Unbelievable, but true. Just let a knob of it melt in your mouth, tilt your chin up and let it pool toward that back of your mouth/throat. Hold it there for as long as you can. Repeat several times a day.
It works much faster than the nasty antibiotics usually prescribed, and provides some temporary pain relief in the mean time. I usually get tonsillitis when I'm run down, so as soon as I notice that first sign of white in the back of my throat, I start this treatment, and it clears up within 24 hours.
EVCO is amazing stuff!"

[YEA] 08/29/2007: Neil from Auckland, New Zealand writes: "I get tonsillitises frequently (every 4-6 weeks) and it usually takes 1 week to recover. I have tried prescribed antibiotics with no effect. However, after reading about garlic on this website, I gave it a shot and I was totally amazed at how fast I recover. There is a dramatic difference the following day after I take a clove of garlic soup before going to bed and I make total recovery within 3 days. With prescription antibiotics, it used to take about 1 week, including gargling every couple of hours. Even when I am ok, I take garlic soup about 2 times a week, and this is the first time ever that I have gone through winter without getting a cold!! I peel a clove of garlic and cut them in half lengthwise. Then I boil it for a couple of minutes in 1.5 cup water and add a pinch of salt, teaspoon of butter, a pinch of pepper and sprinkle with nutmeg. I take is as a soup as the garlic is soft enough to be eaten. Works wonders for me."
05/09/2008: Boriana from Beijing, China replies: "My daughter has a chronic tonsillitis since she was small now already 17 still the same and unluckily she found out to be allergic to garlic. is there any other remedy apart from the garlic?"
05/09/2008: Joyce from Joelton,, Tn replies: "Response to Boriana from Beijing: Good old apple cider vinegar & local honey, mixed half & half - at 17 years old she should also be able to tolerate a little cayenne added in there (all three are known to have antibiotic effect & honey also has some ability to decrease allergies."

[YEA] 12/02/2008: Lorraine from Derby, Kansas writes: "I made a sort of "tea" with 2 tablespoons of honey, lemon juice from one wedge, pinch of salt, a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, one minced garlic clove, a dash of cayenne pepper, and boiling water (to fill a mug) for tonsillitis. Works better than anything I have ever tried before."
[YEA] 03/28/2009: Dan from New Britain, CT replies: "I have made a tea with a few pieces of chopped up ginger root.. 2 tablespoons of Apple cider vinigear (ORAGNIC) (mother) and some honey.. seems to be working very well for me. Give it a shot."

[QUESTION] 01/13/2010: April from Rogers, Ar writes: "Pain after tonsillectomy
Hi, I do not have a remedy but a question. I have a 17 year old who had her tonsils taken out 8 days ago. Her pain is STILL intense inspite of the doctor telling us is should start to improve by now. Can anyone offer advice to speed up the healing and reduce her pain level. Please don't say ice, because it so painful that she can't hardly swallow the water when the ice melts. Thank you in advance for your advice."
01/15/2010: Diane from Oliver, Pa replies: "Have you tried colloidal silver? It wouldn't be any more painful than the water, would coat her throat and help fight any infection. If you get one of those empty travel-size spray bottles, and just use the tubing with the original bottle, (which will probably be a dark-colored glass) she could even spritz her throat with it. We've used CS for cat bites, (in order to avoid antibiotics) conjuctivitis, diaper rash, and cats that have snotty sneezes with great success."

12/15/2009: Damita from Hemingway, Sc Usa writes: "Sour taste in mouth, bad breath, tonsil stones
I need a cure for this sour taste in my mouth all the time. Even after I brush my teeth, tongue, the sour taste comes back. I have tonsil stones that come up sometimes, even though I've had my tonsils removed twice. Doctors don't have time to figure out what the problem is and I've had this problem since I was 9 years old. I'm 45 now."

[QUESTION] 04/17/2009: Lisa from Bowie, Maryland writes: "I've been reading about the cures for tonsilitis, but has anyone heard of tonsil stones and how to get rid of them. I get them regularly, and the dtr says just gargle with salt water, but they keep coming back. He says they are harmless. Does anyone have a remedy??"
04/27/2009: Brass_Ga from Lithia Springs, Georgia replies: "check the section for bad breath. I do remember coming across it there good luck!"
07/29/2009: Tonsil Flush from Denver, CO replies: "I use a machine that shoots water through my teeth on the lowest setting and place the tip near the opening on each tonsil or where I see the stones and flush them out with a short burst of water. This also helps take care of bad breathe. read the china study also cutting down on animal protein for bad breathe."
