Adult Tonsillectomy

dsturgeon said:

i will say one more thing. For about 7 years i had dentists telling me i needed to cut out my wisdom teeth. Three of those years, it was because i had a small piece of gum covering part of them. I asked one "why not just cut the small piece of gum out instead of the teeth," and he looked at me dumbfounded and didint say anthing else.

Here i sit with all my teeth, fully grown in, no discomfort, and no problems. Don't always trust someone who wants to cut something out of your body. Maybe they get a kickback from the surgeon

He has to make his own decision though.

So because you had one bad experience you’re going to ignore all future advice from doctors?

what i do in the future has no relevance to anything i have said, or with what the OP posted

Aside from broken bones, stitches, or something like that, i dont plan on going to the doctor

I had mine removed at 25. I got loopy on pain killers and was calling work to tell my boss dirty jokes. I still don't know what all I said, but he loved me after that.

I forgot to add that I had no residual pain afterwards. Those tonsils gave me too much trouble to stick around. I'd do it again if I had to.

Dentist are straight money makers. My first adult dentist told me when he had first started he was making about $375 dollars and hour minimum. He was a good guy but got so busy it was hard to get in the office. Then I went to one because it was in network for my insurance and horrible experience. They wanted to do root canals on three teeth as "preventative" measures. I turned them in for insurance fraud after going to get a second opinion who said no you just need the the ridge taken out of one.

When dentists are not with patients, they're practicing Satanical rituals with those circulating spit bowls. That wasn't a health hazard, was it?

I have never had a dentist that wasn't a salesman. But I gotta say, if I had to mess with certain areas of a person's body like Proctologists do, I'd go for the gold too. Don't want anything to do with where the food goes in or comes out.

It is interesting that you don't want to have anything to do with where food goes in and comes out, but you like eating pork, shellfish, shrimp, and all of that. They are garbage disposals. They are unclean or not food, because they eat feces, rotten carcassaes, anything dead on the ground, and the cockroaches of the sea. So, when you eat them you are eating what they eat. Look into how cancerous pigs are and the way they digest foods.

Cows, deer, chicken, turkeys and etc are good to eat because of what they eat. They are not cannibals, feces eaters, and garbage disposals.

Has anyone had this done after they became an adult? Do you still have pain and/or discomfort months/years after removing them? I read that something goes wrong 1 out of every 5 adult procedures.

I think mine need to be removed.

Bet you can't get family and friends to sit with you at Red Lobster.

I try to stay away from the pig's innards. especially anything involving the colon. Yep, definitely draw the line there and if they pooped out the side through the ribs, I'd probably cut back on that.

d, do not try and convince a man that thinks cocktails and cigars are healthy choices that anything he eats is harmful. I don't like eating those things, I LOVE eating those things.

Know one of the rising current food trends? Chicken feet. Know what chickens walk around in all day? I've never seen chickens in booties.

You wanna tell me I gotta give up clams, mussels, oysters, crab, shrimp and lobster and then throw in ribs, porterhouse pork chops, pulled pork and tenderloins, we're going to have words. I'll compromise, I'll give up smoked buzzard.

Eat what you want, but everything has a function. You can look up stuff on oysters, where they get 2 fish tanks of dirty water, put oysters in one, and the oysters clean the water.

All the stuff you listed is designed to clean the ground and water, not to be eaten. And when you eat them, you are eating all those toxins. Oceans, seas, and rivers are getting very polluted outside of their normal pollution, seems like a reason not to eat the filters.

Saw the ENT today, he thinks it's allergies. Going back Thursday to take a test to see what i am allergic to. Also have a vein that comes close to the left tonsil which could be playing a part and a slightly deviated septum.

Hopefully it's allergies only that are troubling me, and just some shots or meds that will solve it.
