The Paleo View (TPV), Episode 279: Sarah and the Tonsillectomy News and Views (0:41) Stacy thanks you for your well wishes on the anniversary of her brother Andrew's death Sarah's daughter recently had a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy after a long struggle to get her tonsils back to normal. Sarah and her family have a history of having inflamed tonsils. While there is a small role for tonsils, possibly as a early warning system for the immune system, you can easily live without them. Sarah had a lot of antibiotics for strep because of tonsils and wonders how that affected her health. Her daughter also had a lot of strep as well despite a healthy lifestyle. Recently, that had increased in frequency as well. This summer, the tonsils had swollen and wouldn't go back down to the point of affecting her sleep. They had to come out. She had the surgery and also had her adenoids out at the same time. Sarah has been giving her recovery foods, but feels guilty that they are juice and popsicles. DON'T WORRY about such things! You are getting her through a tough time! Remember: make the best decisions you can for your kids and don't dwell on what could have been. And medicine is not the enemy! It will save your life!

I'm passionate about improving scientific literacy around public health topics. I like hashtags and bone broth.

And I'm just a super nerd. So Sarah and listeners, and listeners, hello everybody. I noticed that you put something that you weren't sure you were going to put into your social media this week.

0:57.2

Just kind of before we jump into that, I just want to take a brief moment to mention that I had quite a number of people reach out to me.

1:08.0

I guess it shows up in their timelines or they've just

1:12.0

logically deduced that this week was the anniversary of our

1:19.3

brother's passing from last year and I myself am feeling I've got a case of the feels I'll just

1:30.0

put it that way and and the things that go along with that, like when you have an

1:36.2

autoimmune condition when you're super stressed, a lot of things don't feel right and that's

1:42.2

kind of what's happening to me.

So it's been good to have that as a positive frame
