now about 10 of the population gets

these little stones

in their tonsils and so today we’re

going to talk about how to prevent

tonsil stones and then if you get tonsil

stones and you go to your dentist and

they remove them

how to prevent them from coming back now

to understand tonsil stones we have to

understand what the tonsil is

the tonsil is in a first line of defense

it’s a tissue very similar to a lymph

node it’s in the back of the throat and

it’s there to prevent pathogens from

going deeper inside the body and tonsils

produce t cells which is part of the

immune system and so they will capture

detect and then start developing a

defense against a certain microbe that

might be in your mouth or in your

environment so that’s what the tonsils

are and the stone part

are basically something called biofilms

okay biofilms and

biofilms are little

calcium igloos

that microbes specifically with this

situation it’s bacteria that’s living in

these little

cement-like igloos and that’s really

what they are they’re basically cement

houses to protect them from being

destroyed by antibiotics and so a

biofilm is a shield it’s a defense

mechanism to help these microbes survive

and these microbes also produce a gas

like a sulfur gas that’s why

people that have tonsil stones have a

bad odor in their mouth like sometimes

rotten eggs

they might have a metallic taste they

might get a cough and these stones

usually develop after kind of a chronic

tonsillitis or being on antibiotics for

a period of time because that will wipe

out your defenses and then increase your

pathogens and i keep hitting this point

across over and over my videos you have

all this good bacteria it’s called the

microbiome and you don’t want to get rid

of it you don’t want to sterilize it if

you kill it off with antibiotics you

better replace it because these microbes

help defend against pathogens and other

microbes that make biofilms so anything

that increases chronic tonsillitis will

increase

these biofilms so if a person was on

steroids

if they’re diabetic if they

consume a lot of sugar

if they’re zinc deficient if they’re

vitamin d deficient

all these factors

weaken your immune system and increase

the chance of getting these stones and

biofilms are not just living in the

crevices of your tonsils they’re also in

like 59 of sinus infections they’re

involved in ear infections they’re

involved in utis they’re involved

infections throughout the body so it is

a major defense mechanism that certain

pathogens use to survive so there are

three things

to do as remedies to help prevent these

things from coming back and this mainly

is going to act as a natural antibiotic

without the side effects so it kills the

pathogens but it doesn’t kill the good

guys so number one garlic you want to

consume a lot of garlic okay on a

regular basis number two

oregano oil oregano oil is a very

powerful

natural antibiotic but it virtually does

nothing to our good bacteria

and number three and this is a real

powerful one as well and i’ll put the

links down below that support

the data that i’m talking about

but grape fruit seed extract okay

another great natural antibiotic now of

course there’s a couple other things

that contribute to this as well

being on a high carb diet and consuming

a lot of

dairy products that can create more

mucus especially if you’re a young

person and you get chronic

inflammation of the tonsils or ear

infections or even a sinus infection

anyone who has upper or lower

respiratory infections

needs to get off dairy now the next most

important video for you to watch right

now is the one on the immune system in

relationship to zinc and vitamin d

check it out i put it up right here
