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.

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. Wish you the best!@@Mermaidlife97

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

Why didn’t you simply take her to a different dr when the first one said no? Professionals & “experts” are just people, no smarter than anyone else. I don’t know why more people, especially parents, don’t think for themselves and advocate for their kids. Second and third opinions are a “thing”. 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.

Had these for years, but had unintentionally gotten rid of them through diet and lifestyle change. I had drastically cut carbs and dairy to combat high blood sugar and lose weight. Was also taking vitamin D3 to protect against COVID, along with B-Complex. And thinking on it, I've also had a drastic reduction in respiratory and sinus infections. Haven't had a single sick day since 2019.

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.

When I was a late teenager, I had tonsil stones. My mother did not know what they were so she took me to the doctor. He did not tell us they were common, instead he said they needed to come out. He removed them. This is the truth, I never in my life had a sore throat, cold or respiratory infection until a couple of weeks after they removed them. Hindsight is 20/20. Back then almost everyone had their tonsils removed. Wish I still had mine.

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.

I used to get stones all the time as a teenager, I used to pop them out with a cotton bud and boy, did they stink. I was also on strong antibiotics for years because of severe acne, and discovered in my 20s that dairy was highly inflammatory for me. So many things we didn't know back then that too many doctors still don't know today.

I am a part of the 10% that's gets tonsil stones. I absolutely HATE them! 😒 Fortunately, mine aren't very big when I get them, and they don't really cause my breath to stink. That said, I CAN feel them sometimes, and sometimes they come out at the most random moments... They also smell really gross. Not like rotten eggs (for me, anyway), but just gross. I really appreciate this video! Thank you! ❤️

Hi there. I feel your pain. I am a dental hygienist, and I also get tonsil stones. What I have used with great success is a monoject irrigation syringe. It has the perfect curve to get into my tonsils. I fill it with water and flush either side multiple times until I don’t see any more stones come out. I try to do this at least once a month. Still haven’t figured out how to prevent formation. Trying a daily dental probiotic now as I’ve heard it can prevent them. Hope this helps! ❤

Good lord….my whole childhood just got explained in a few seconds. I used to absolutely SUFFER from sinus infections, UTI’s, and ear infections. I was also zinc, vitamin c, and dangerously vitamin d deficient. My tonsils were always large that every time I’d see the doctor or dentist they’d always comment on them. I’d always ask what these white and smelly things coming out of my tonsils were and they’d always say don’t worry about it, it’s normal. Now that I’m an adult I’ve decided to start taking vitamin c, d, zinc, and magnesium supplements just to help boost my immune system. I’ve noticed that I don’t get them very often anymore since I started taking the supplements. Once in a blue moon I’ll get one but it’s much smaller and has no smell to it. If only more doctors were more knowledgeable. 🤦🏻‍♂️😑

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 wish I would have known these things from Dr Berg much younger in life. I appreciate the difference you have made in my and my family’s lives in turning our family’s habits in a healthier direction.🌱❤️

I used to get tonsillitis commonly as a child. I also used to regularly get those whitish chunks in my tonsils. I remember working them out of my tonsils as young as 4th grade. After I got my tonsils taken out a few months before turning 18, my health was dramatically better. 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. So they were in bad condition.

They warned me that my throat would be really sore after the surgery but the pain was nowhere near as bad as my strep and tonsillitis episodes.

that's my personal experience as well. I would get these grayish-looking stones all the time, in addition to at twice per year painful strep infections... sometimes will cough these stones out- they stink awul! But then I got my tonsils removed in 2013- no more sore throat, no stones, and I've been sick during this time no more than a couple of times.

I recommend chewing a clove and keeping it in the mounth for 15 min before sleeping. That will prevent bad bacteria development.

Nice to know why they form. I have really big tonsils, always had, and get these stones sometimes. I never worried about them if it was just one at a time (more only appeared once or twice when I had tonsillitis), but didn't really know the reason behind them. I thought it had to do with my tonsils fighting against bacteria or whatever, but since there was no connection to me being sick (except the one or two times with tonsillitis) I thought there was probably a different reason behind them like a crumb getting in one of the tonsil holes.😅

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.

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.

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.

My tonsils are much smaller now since I started removing these things with a cotton bud but they still gather and it's a regular thing I do. I love to prevent them completely.
