2:55 How to prevent tonsil stones
In this video, we’re going to talk about how to prevent tonsil stones. Your tonsils are in the back of the throat, and they help prevent pathogens from going deeper inside of the body.
Tonsil stones are basically biofilms. These biofilms are like little igloos for bacteria. Bacteria use these igloos to prevent themselves from being destroyed by antibiotics.
The bacteria produce a gas that causes a bad odor. This is why bad breath is a common symptom of tonsil stones. Other symptoms of tonsil stones might be a metallic taste in the mouth and a cough.
The stones typically develop after chronic tonsillitis or chronic antibiotic use. Factors like steroids, diabetes, sugar consumption, zinc deficiency, or vitamin D deficiency can increase the risk of tonsil stones. A high-carb diet and dairy products can also contribute to this issue.
Natural remedies to prevent tonsil stones:
1. Garlic
2. Oregano oil
3. Grapefruit seed extract

I dealt with tonsil stones my entire adult life. An ENT told me the only answer was to have my tonsils removed. That can be a dangerous procedure for an adult. About six months ago, I started gargling with warm salt water every night before going to bed. I HAVEN'T HAD A TONSIL STONE SINCE. Gargling with warm salt water is easier and much safer than having your tonsils removed.

Thank you because I have the same issue. I had ear infections and strep as a child constantly. I have had stones since I was 12. Unfortunately no one thought maybe we should remove the tonsils so as an adult it’s so frustrating and when they are deep I feel pressure in my ears. I will start trying the salt at night as well.

@33goldengirl 3 ай бұрын

Same. I had strep throat numerous times as a child. I hope garling with salt water works as well for you as it has for me. Such a simple, low-cost, easy solution--every night after you brush your teeth, gargle with warm salt water. I haven't had one tonsil stone since I started doing it.

I couldn't even find a doctor to diagnose what was causing our daughter's terrible breath. She suffered for years. I also couldn't convince them to remove her tonsils, although they were extremely big. She was even having problems at night breathing! Finally when we w went to have her wisdom teeth extracted, the oral surgeon said he couldn't put her under due to the fact that she has an extremely small airway. She tried the gas but went into a panic. We returned to her doctor, who sent us to an ENT. She was immediately scheduled for surgery. When removed, not only were they extremely big but had many black stones. Since she is so much better, getting adequate sleep and the bad breath disappeared! I don't know why the professionals didn't notice this sooner. Only due to your video am i 100 % sure what was causing her terrible breath! Thanks

Do your own research, find a dr who is on the same wavelength as you and don’t just take the first answer from the first person in a white coat.

@@matilda4406 I stopped eating broccoli and cauliflower tops. I eat just the stems (like the spear part of Broccoli spears). If you break open the stones you can sometimes see a tiny piece of broccoli floret bud. That's why they say it's food. Videos I looked up before said that broccoli and cauliflower were a no go. That's why I eliminated them for a time. But I started to crave broccoli and started eating just the stems. The stems don't seam to cause the stones. Turns out that some people even eat the leaves of the broccoli plant. But Dr. Berk's explanation makes more sense to me. I think the food gets caught because the bacteria previously irritated the tonsils allowing for more open areas for the food to get caught. I think they are present but perhaps not the cause. I'm going to try what Dr Berk said. It sure would be nice to eat regular broccoli florets again. But first, I need to get that bacteria under control.

My Best Friend over the past 32 years had been sick and was treated with antibiotics….Shortly afterwards she developed Tonsil stones. On one occasion We were together when she removed 6 or so of them from around her tonsils. I had never seen anything like it. She said she has had them a few times in the past and I’m guessing she will likely have them again eventually. I’m going to send your video link to her.

I used to get these constantly as a child. I was the oldest of 4 children and was brought up on a high carb and dairy diet. My mother made casseroles constantly for our meals which most of them consisted of white rice, white potatoes, or pasta, usually rice, probably because that was cheapest and easiest. She would also reserve some of the rice for next morning’s breakfast to warm with a little milk and sugar mixed together for our breakfast. The casseroles would have a scant amount of pieces of meat, usually some chicken, and also a few canned peas & carrots along with a can of cream of something soup to hold it together. We drank either water or milk every day. I gave up milk completely eventually after having my own children and learning all the reasons why it was not good for any of us, and the same about all the carbs, and even fruits, and turning to a ketogenic diet with more vegetables. Now after hearing all the reasons behind these “stones” that I used to dig out of my tonsils occasionally as a child, I realize I must have had horrible breath!

I had a partial tonsillectomy some years ago because I had a horrible getting of a constant lump in my throat (trapped tonsilolith/cyst). When I came to after, the ENT surgeon who had seen hundreds/thousands of patients in her years of work tools me she had never seen tonsils like mine- describing them as long tubes instead of the normal glands others have. 🤷‍♀️

I used to have incredibly large tonsils, so big that if I stuck my tongue out they'd completely block my throat. I had big and small tonsil stones probably every week as a kid/teenager. Was never sick or had infections though. Eventually got tired of having to scoop them out of the cavities and the seriously awful smell that came with it and had them removed some years ago (at age 27+). Best thing I ever did! The surgeon came and spoke with me afterwards and told me that when she went to clamp down my tonsil before slicing, the whole thing "popped" and large amount of stones came spurting out 🤮She told me I had made the right decision, and I kinda wish I had done it sooner. The recovery was the most painful thing I've ever experienced (and I've been through some sh!t), but luckily it was short.

Two nights before I had an appointment to see my doctor, I woke up with something in my mouth that felt huge. It was white, firm, and the size of a jawbreaker gum-ball. I wrapped it in a paper towel and went back to sleep. Next morning, it had shrunk to the size of a BB and had turned a rusty red. Doc said it was a tonsil stone. I was 65, always had great health (still do) and never get sick or get a sore throat, and I eat healthy. He thought it might be caused by an antibiotic for a sebaceous cyst that I had been on the month before. I have not had a tonsil stone since then.

Thank you Dr. Berg!🙏 I’ve wondered for years where those stones came from. My appendics ruptured when I was a child and according to my parents it nearly took my life. I fell unconscious after the rupture and woke up 2 days later unaware of what had happened; I was terrified at the unfamiliar surroundings, the needles in my arm, and the draining open wound from the surgery. I was on antibiotics intravenously and by injection around the clock for many days and I recall finishing my school year in the hospital. I was sickly from that point forward coming down with tonsillitis so regularly that the school sent me home and insisted that my parents have my tonsils removed before I’d be allowed to return. But my parents were against the surgery and simply waited awhile pretending to have had my tonsils removed and sent me back to school. Tonsillitis and tonsil stones became a very familiar part of my childhood until around 1975; that’s when I learned about vitamin c. After taking vitamin c for the first time I began to crave it and I’ve taken it ever since and since that time I haven’t had tonsillitis or tonsil stones. I now take garlic and oregano oil because I’m prone to UTIs but I guess that’s helping to protect me from other infections as well.

No more sore throats, tonsillitis, ear aches, etc. I think I've only been sick 3 or 4 times since they were taken out in the last 31 years. Side note, I'd asked them to save my tonsils so I could see them (blood, gore from surgical stuff never bothered me.... always wanted to be a veterinarian).... well, they didn't save them to show me because they were all full of puss..... and that was at a time where I felt well and healthy.

I've been dealing with this for years. I never had my tonsils removed so over time they have atrophied but left small pockets in the back of my throat. These pockets capture small pieces of food. Especially small chewed nut fragments which lodge somewhat deep in the pockets. Tonsil stones... well I guess could be so, but for me its totally deteriorating food fragments. I simply clean them out once every week or couple of weeks with a curved dental syringe used to clean tooth sockets after tooth extraction (dentist gives them to me for free). I fill the syringe with warm water and after brushing my teeth use a small flashlight to look into the pockets then direct the syringe generated stream of water to flush them out. That simple, works every time. Eliminates "medicine" breath instantly.

The tonsils are filtering and expelling these stones naturally. Sometimes, when I feel the scraping of the stone with the back of my tongue. I grab the end my toothbrush to push against the tonsils and squeeze the stone out. Works like a charm minus the gagging and drooling. I just rinse with listerine after brushing my mouth, tongue and back of my throat.

Had this problem for years and three doctors could not tell me what it was! Finally I realized for my body that they were worse when I ate eggs frequently; so I cut way back. Now hearing this I realize I was also a heavy carb eater in those days. Thanks so much for the insight.

Really, you may need to change your doctor if they could not tell what that is.

Don't cook the eggs and they will be less problematic. Enjoy them by making mayonnaise with them. Also add to smoothies to improve texture of the drink. Always organic, no blood, and pasture raised, free to run, peck and scratch.

Here in Europe where I live, there is a rule that if one has more then 4 tonsil informations during the year, tonsils are removed. I got them out when I was 25 and my son when he was 10. In both cases our overall health improved greatly. Constant inflammation with streptococcus A and stafilococcus aureus are dangerous for your heart, kidneys and bones.

I had my tonsils removed as a adult. Best thing I ever did!

I used to get tonsil stones all the freaking time - like every couple of weeks. Finally got my tonsils out at 30 (Drs wouldn't believe me). Best choice I've ever made. No more tonsil stones, very few sore throats.
