As children in Belgium in the 1960s this was still known - the tonsils are protection against allergies. Our tonsils were not taken out, they were peeled. I was still very small, but I remember by cousin, 5 years my junior - it was very painful too. But probably not as bad as an adult cousin, whose doctor told her 2 years ago that removing her tonsils would solve the problem of recurring colds. She said it was the worst pain she ever suffered. The American doctor who looked at my throat years ago was utterly surprised I still had my tonsils, obviously it is routine here to remove every kid's tonsils.
Why do doctors think we have superfluent parts (appendix, tonsils, etc)?
To answer your last question - because they are stupid and don't understand anatomy OR physiology properly! Plus they adhere to the germ theory, not the terrain theory.
At the age of 10 1/2, I had a severe reaction to what I think was a DPT shot. High fever, enormous swelling of my arm, nausea and vomiting over a three day period. Six months later, I "manifested" tonsilitis. Fortunately, I was given the slightly lesser of two evils in the form of penicillin. I have never had a "vaccine" since. I also have never had a reccurence of tonsilitis, but there is a spot in my throat that remains sensitive to high histamine foods such as black pepper and vinegar.
I was born in 1952, and my health followed the path you describe, even though I got few vaccinations. Looking back, my problem was a stagnant lymphatic system due to poor diet and a tendency to pick up toxic energies. I had tonsillitis frequently and the occasional strep throat, but fortunately, I was deemed allergic to penicillin. Back then, they took out tonsils as a rule, but my blood wouldn't clot fast enough, so I still have mine. I followed the pattern of sore throat, laryngitis, bronchitis over and over. The pattern was broken eventually. I consider myself blessed to be healthy at this point. I was saved from a number of interventions when I was very young. One blood test, my white cell count was way off, but they were willing to admit they had no clue what it meant, so nothing was done. Thank you for spreading the word about this. You are helping to save children.
I used to get recurrent throat infections as a kid - from early high school years. Shared a water bottle with a friend who basically lived on antibiotics (I did not know that at the time, mind you; found out a bit later!). After that, I was getting 2-3 nasty throat infections per year, with antibiotics given to me by the good old doc...too many times (last lot of antibiotics I had was about a decade ago, and I am NEVER having antibiotics again, thankyou very much!). At least no-one ever offered surgery, though, which I'm glad of, now!
I have no idea if my friend had superbugs or something on her water bottle. My immunity was probably down, anyway (given it turns out I'm Coeliac & allergic to dairy, and I basically LIVED on wheat & dairy & fruit back then!). It may just have been a co-incidence that I got throat issues around the same time as sharing that water bottle. Who knows.
Any which way, fast forward into my young adult years, and it turns out that a good Chiropractor doing proper Gonstead C7 adjustments (vertebra at base of neck) helped a helluva lot! Stopped getting anywhere near as many throat infections after that. The lower neck nerves have a lot to do with the throat. If they're not functioning properly, for whatever reason, then throat infections, among other problems, are more likely.
These days, I barely even get a sore throat. Can't remember the last time I had a nasty sore throat, actually. Mind you, I don't eat all those wrong foods for me anymore (haven't, for over a decade now). Even my C7 rarely needs adjusting any more.
FYI, I have had precisely TWO sinus infections in my life (one recently, after they sprayed the skies for literally months on end, and one about a decade ago. The one this time ran, and cleared itself, although it was still not pleasant. The one a decade ago got clogged and was horrible and that was the last time I had antibiotics. These days I would have colloidal/ionic silver rather than antibiotics if that happened again!). I have had few ear infections, either. A couple of minor ones as a kid? For me, it was pretty well always THROAT issues, not ear or sinus problems. I guess with me, that's just how my eustachian tubes are built. My throat is more...susceptible? It's different for different people, though. My sister suffered more with ear infections.
I also used to have all these horrible, ugly scars at the back of my throat (that's how many sicknesses I had, people!), but 6 months off dairy and lo and behold, my body had HEALED all those scars! Scars I'd had since my teenage days. It was like a mini miracle! So yeah, I think DIET was a huge issue for me! And probably is for a LOT of people with recurrent illnesses.
The lower neck vertebrae also correlate to emotional issues of not being heard/listened to. That pretty well summed up my childhood!
At least, left to my own devices, I re-found my health. Sometimes we don't have the best parents, the best doctors, or the best experiences in this world. But the knowledge is out there, and it's great when you find it!
Thanks, Unbekoming, for sharing how useless tonsillectomies really are! Money earners for the medicos, and ultimately just more damage to the patients.

As always, your “How to Explain It to a Six Year Old” section cut right to the chase! Bravo!
Fantastic work!
