I have this kooky tonsil growth that I noticed a few months ago. I asked my LLMD to look at it today and she said that one of the places Lyme is known to be in heavy concentration is in tonsils. She told me to have a really good ENT look at it b/c it may need to be removed for this reason.

Anyone have/had a similar situation or heard about this before?

Neural Therapy, tonsilectomy, or the one most favored (not available yet in the US) is
Kryo tonsil freeze. www.kryopraxis.de IEnglish version)

A simpler way ongoing with detoxification when the tonsils usually "fill up" often is cold laser treatment that most people can do themselves with a bit of instruction from the people that do it in practice. It takes a laser pointer and a few seconds pointing right at the tonsils.

Some people of course need a more radical treatment. But not doing anything about it if they look bad is not a good idea.

As a teen (I had Lyme back then, too) I had frequent strep infections, that of course, settled in my tonsils.

Even as an adult I have had a few bad strep infections and until I began my Lyme treatment my tonsils were slightly enlarged and usually had dried pus in them.

Now, after 18 months of treatment for Lyme and co-infections, they have shrunk and the pus is gone! [Big Grin]
