fair nok, men det kan du finde ud af hvis du interesserer dig... Jeg har
heller ikke sat mig ordentligt ind i det, men som udgangspunkt mener jeg
ikke der er overflødige organer.

problemer med din pc?
Her er teksten, prøv at læse den - og fremfor alt at fortælle hvad du mener

BY DR. ALFRED TIENES.
(From Der Wendepunkt, January, 1934).
IN scientific circles the view that tonsils are by no mean superfluous
is becoming more and more widely recognized and doctors are beginning to
realize that they are organs which are of importance in the creation of the
blood and that they are organs which fulfil important tasks in protecting
and detoxicating the body and in eliminating matter which requires
elimination. The excision of the tonsils prevents this elimination, it
interferes with tissue change, and with the expulsion of metabolic poisons.
It therefore hampers the process of poison elimination, which is natural to
the body and which we notice in numerous forms, such as critical and helpful
diarrhoeas, curative sweats and eruptions, helpful vomiting, etc. Very
likely the tonsils act also as organs for the regulation of the activity of
the entire mucous membrane. Therefore we find that inflammation of the
tonsils are always accompanied by stagnation of the lymph circulation. It is
significant that diseased tonsils recover through the activation of the flow
of the lymph. The lymph circulation is of great importance to the health of
the body, and the flow of lymph through the tonsils is one of the most
important defensive mechanisms of the human body. Good health requires that
the tonsils should function properly.
Numerous experiments have demonstrated clearly that the tonsils are
important organs of elimination. If Indian ink is rubbed into the gums, it
promptly is absorbed and it reappears in the tonsils which eliminates it. If
the bacilli of tuberculosis are inserted into the tonsils of healthy calves,
they are not infected because the tonsils destroy the bacilli. It therefore
follows that the tonsils are not portals of entry for tubercular infection,
as had previously been assumed. On the other hand, it the bacilli are
allowed to enter the lungs of calves, the calves become tuberculous and the
bacilli are found in the previously healthy tonsils. This indicates that the
tonsils take part in eliminating and destroying the germs of disease. At the
Meeting of Specialists of Childrens Diseases at Innsbruck it was reported
that an experiment had been made on a large number of healthy children in
order to find out what would happen if active diphtheria bacilli were
inserted into their tonsils. It was found that all children thus treated
remained healthy. This experiment deserves censure, but it proves that, as
regards diphtheria, the tonsils do not act as portals of entry as has
previously been believed but as organs of defence and of elimination against
infection.
The work done by the tonsils is similar to that done by the lymph
glands. By the formation of new white blood corpuscles and by filtering the
stream of the lymph, the germs of disease, metabolic poisons, and the
foreign bodies are arrested and are made innocuous in these structures.
Tonsils and glands fulfil the same function, but there is this difference,
that the tonsils are not encapsulated in connective tissue. The tonsils can
expand towards throat and mouth and their special formation with deep
indentures and clefts, which number from ten to eighteen in each tonsil,
makes it possible for the tonsil to get greatly enlarged if necessary.
Foreign bodies, body toxins, germs, etc., which have been carried into the
tonsils by the lymph stream can therefore be eliminated by way of the mouth,
and thus the body is ridded of noxious materials. The celebrated Pastor
Kneipp used to say "An able inn keeper throws out of the house who makes
themselves obnoxious." The healthy body which is sensibly treated and which
has healthy tonsils in possession of their natural equipment for protecting
and detoxicating the body does not need surgical treatment if the tonsils on
occasion should become enlarged. The tonsils should be cut out only in
desperate cases when operation is absolutely necessary, as in cases of
threatened asphyxiation. Professor Kuttner wrote in the Medizinische Klinik,
1930, in an article on the treatment of inflammation of the throat:
"Operations on the tonsils are indicated only in really dangerous cases when
immediate surgical intervention is indispensable, when other methods have
failed to relieve. In the first place the attempt should be made to cure the
diseased tonsils." He recommends cleaning septic tonsils by suction which
has permanently cured them in many cases. The biological conception compares
the tonsils with filters which have become foul through accumulation of
residue upon them and it is clear that they should be cleansed if at all
possible, but not destroyed. That principle of treatment has become
recognized as sound by all advanced doctors and by many specialists for
childrens diseases, by specialists for diseases of the throat and by many
surgeons. By careful examination and occasional cleansing of the tonsils by
doctors, many disorders and diseases may be prevented both in children and
in grown up persons, among them diseases of the heart, kidneys, joints,
appendix, glands, blood, skin, measles, scarlatina, whooping cough,
scrofulosis, which is apt to lead to tuberculosis, etc. Besides, many
disorders following upon the destruction of the tonsils might be avoided,
among them diseases of the lungs, general sepsis, general swelling of
glands, and other harmful sequels which are apt to follow excision of the
tonsils, often only many years after the event.
As destruction of the tonsils is apt to have serious consequences
earlier or later, operation should not be performed rashly. In each case it
should be seriously considered whether a total or only partial operation
should be done, and if part of the tonsils should be healthy, then the
healthy portions should be left in the body. Of course in the case of tonsil
trouble the body as a whole should be treated biologically by a vegetarian
diet, air and water baths, and if necessary by a fast, with a view to
cleansing the diseased organs, the blood stream and the body as a whole.
