Ok, I need your help with this one. I have, obviously, cleared my tonsil stones. Now I get bored if I don’t do tests and figure out more facts about this dreaded condition. So in developmental research I started this test a month ago. I started drinking milk to see;
1 – How fast tonsil stones came back
2 – If I could smell or taste my breath when I had tonsil stones
3 – How long it takes to get rid of them by different methods, but mostly including;
a) The “stop drinking dairy” method.
b) Our “grapefruit seed extract” method.
c) A healthy combination of both.
The first thing I noticed, is that I had bad breath the same day I started drinking milk. In fact the next morning was even worse than the first day. Tonsil stones had definitely started forming although I couldn’t feel them yet. By the third day, I could feel a tonsillolith inside my left tonsil (anyone else notice they usually grow in one side or the other?) My initial plan was to drink milk for a week, then stop drinking milk for 1 to 2 weeks but after the third day I was so disgusted with my breath I was brushing my teeth every couple hours trying to rid myself of the taste and smell. So the experiment was shorted but the same effect will be had in the end so… Saves my wife from dealing with 4 more days of torture hehe.
After being frustrated and hunger-craved I started gargling with my GSE again and what a difference! I could eat snack foods, McDonalds, all the things that are awful for me but are just soo good! This might sound like a pawn to eat unhealthy? But it’s actually not. What I’m trying to say is, while not COMPLETELY cutting out dairy, and gargling with GSE, i’m able to eat “almost” all the foods I like without every worrying about tonsil stones.
So in closing; no dairy = good , no dairy + gse = complete breath confidence. Take Care!
=] hehe I do the same thing sometimes
I figured it out! I ate 2 cookies that contained chocolate and nuts. (I know, right? What was I thinking? lol) Nuts/nut products are second only to milk when it comes to fast and furious tonsil stones. Beware!
It’s funny the things you’ll find dairy in sometimes that can bring them back. I know sometimes I’ll still experience tonsil stones for a couple days, and when I think back I remember eating brownies (have dairy even in the brownie powder mix) or chocolate cake. It’s crazy the amount of things that have dairy in them.
This is very interesting! I have been following the guidelines in your Ebook for two weeks now. Unfortunately, during that time, I have experienced some tonsil stones, although smaller and not as frequently as before. The very strange thing is that for the first week, everything was AWESOME! Fresh breath, no bad taste or stones. But by week two, they started coming back. I’m worried that perhaps some dairy snuck in somewhere…but I have no idea where. Hmmm.
