I too have suffered from tonsil stones. It was some time before I
located a remedy that worked for me. You may need to try different things
before successfully ridding yourself of these annoying things. I went for
several years before discovering Dr. Katz' Tonsil Stone Remedy.
Be sure to see the other articles on this site
for information on removing tonsil stones and prevention of tonsil stones.
