• What are tonsil stones? 
• What causes tonsils stones? Are they common? 
• Easy methods of removing tonsil stones.

The answers to these questions and more.  Read on.

Tonsil Stones (tonsilloliths) for due to an accumulation of sulfur-producing bacteria and debris that gets stuck in the tonsils. The debris (including mucous from post nasal drip) putrifies in your throat, and gathers in the tonsil crypts (small pockets which appear on the tonsils).

When the debris mixes with the Volatile Sulfur Compounds made by bacteria under the surface of your tongue, it may also cause bad breath (Halitosis) and other taste problems.

Note: If your tonsils have been removed, then you will NOT (except for rare exceptions) suffer from tonsil stones. However this does NOT indicate that tonsil removal is the only option.

As we age, tonsilectomies become more dangerous, keep in mind though, even if you have your tonsils removed, you will probably still suffer from bad breath! Why is that?

The sulfur producing bacteria breeding under the surface of your tongue (which are important in the creation of those tonsil stones) are also the most likely causes  of bad breath!

So, even if you have your tonsils removed, these anerobic bacteria  can still contribute to bad breath!

And, becuase you cannot remove your tongue (at least not in the U.S.), there is a better option: Actually getting rid of tonsil stones is not that hard.

A combination of Nasal Sinus Drops and AktivOxigen Tablets will effectively eliminate tonsil stones without unneeded tonsillectomies. Plus, occasional use of a Oxygenating Spray will immediately neutralize the anaerobic sulfur-producing bacteria.

Now understand, as you know from reading my ebook (the Bad Breath Bible), if you really want to stop bad breath then you should use an oxygenating toothpaste as well as mouthwash and a tongue scraper to effectively neutralize the anaerobic bacteria on the very back of the tongue.

When you use an oxygenating toothpaste and mouthwash (like TheraBreath) you will get a residual effect from the AktivOxigen/Nasal-Sinus Drops solution, and it will keep the tonsil stones from returning.

From my clinical tests at the California Breath Clinics (office visits available in Los Angeles and San Francisco), we've learned that most people following this formula have experienced a significant reduction or complete elimination of tonsil stones.

Thanks for the advice! Can you get these at any store, or do you have to get it online?

I don't understand. How do I use the AktivOxigen tablets and Nasal Sinus drops?

guest commented on 01 Apr 2008, 11:55:15
dr katz products didn't work for me. food grade hydrogen peroxide is more powerful and far cheaper.

How do you use the tablets and nasal drip?

I have suffered with tonsil stones on and off for 40 years. I have not found a cure but I have a pretty good remedy. Take 3000IUs of vitaminD each day through fall and winter and see if it gets better. It's worked for me.

guest commented on 25 Jun 2008, 22:15:01
to the last comment- i'm pretty sure 3000 IUs of Vitamin D is pretty dangerous. The maximum amount one should take is about 2000. That much Vitamin D can lead to kidney damage/failure.

I find it disturbing that googling 'bad breath' or 'tonsil stones' leads to 100's of hits of Dr. Katz-advertised by HIM! If there are any other products out there you will never find them because Dr. Katz has bought EVER SINGLE domain name related to bad breath. He needs to lighten up. If his products really are so great why does he need to monopolize the entire internet? I think its a scam (I use the mouthwash and toothpaste and it tastes like hydrogen peroxide so I'm inclined ot think Guest April 1, 2008 was right on. I will not be repurchasing. and ps: Still have the tonsil stones, go figure!!

This is just an ad, they're pasted all over the net. Hard to tell if it actually works

Why get rid of them? I love mashing them in my fingers, and then smelling them.

I just bought a bottle of 10billion organism Acidophilus, a probiotic that is supposed to kill off the bad bacteria that causes these tonsil stones. Has anyone had any success with Acidophilus?

here is what i do , I use a cheep plastic dental syrenge , its all plastic with a curved plastic point .. fill that with water as many times as you need to . squirt it in slowly and kinda pull it to one side of the opening and stretch it so that what you are doing is flushing , not just loading the crevis up . I use one of those single LED pen lights to see what im doing . also i use this weird surgical tool i found in a wound kit ... it almost looks like a pick for cleaning teeth , but the point is not sharp . i think its a probe , or used for spreading wounds ... anyways , check the tonsils good , my right side has 5 holes in it , all of them have to be cleaned . my left side only has one and it dose not seem to collect at all . anyways , be carefull i bleed a little bit sometimes , but BOY oh BOY dose it feel good when my breath is fresh and i dont feel that swullen tonsil against the back of my tongue .

I used to try products of Dr. Katz but was never convinced they did much good. When I noted that every google reference to breath led to his web site, I became convinced that his claims are overstated. If you have the best product for a problem like this, you don't need to worry about the competition that much.

Please don't get this stuff it doesn't work don't waste your money or time. I was dissapointed when I still had bad breath after using the products

guest commented on 18 Jan 2009, 15:17:20

I had reoccurring small stones monthly that I removed manually with my finger or a cotton swab. I've since been gargling with Listerine Anti-Cavity (purple one) and have not had any for at least 3-4 months now. It's been great, and I recommend trying this inexpensive method, but you have to do it at least once daily and really really gargle it!

All, I am here to save the day! I have been dealing with this same problem for 20 years. I even got it down so that I could unlodge/release the nasty stones with the back of my tongue without even smashing them. So as soon as i felt one I could get rid of it at once! There were time periods that they would come more frequent than others, but i was always on the lookout..... We'll here's the solution... are you ready?! The solution is........ have your tonsils removed!!!! I'm sorry, I know you didn't want to hear this, but it is the only 99% solution. I have actually had my tonsils cauterized before, and that didn't completely solve the problem. They still came back but through a different hole. I gave up with the fight and accepted the loss with my tonsils at the tender age of 36! I feel so much better, that I never have to worry about those yucky stones, and bad breath anymore. I am not going to lie, because it did hurt like hell, but what's 3 weeks of hell compared to a lifetime? Think about that when making your decision. Hope this helps.... If it does or if you have any questions you can email me at wynndc1973@hotmail.com and I will happily assist. Ciao!

Has anybody considered food intolerances? I am a nutritionist and I find when I sneak foods I have intolerances to (esp dairy!) I almost always get stones.
Try an elimination diet under the supervision of a naturopath or nutritionist to identify your food sensitivities!

guest commented on 09 Aug 2009, 18:31:21
Dr. Katz doesnt work... I went to see a ENT and he said the only cure is removal!

guest commented on 26 Aug 2009, 12:16:54
I love food too much. There is no way that I am going to stop eating certain foods. I'd rather get the fuckers cut out.
