umm... white spots?!?!?!

[dread head vegan]

so, i have been detoxing for the past couple of days... my mouth and back near my tonsles hurt so i got a flashlight this morning and looked back there. and there are white spots covering my tonsles:eek: what do you guys think is causing it. (been running a small fever today)

Maybe it's tonsillititis? I get it sometimes when I've eaten a lot of desserts. My body can't handle all that processed sugar. Ever since going raw though, it's stopped.

hi, health care practitioner here....white spots usually indicates strepe throat. Sorry for the bad news!

This works EVERY time...I've used it for years on myself and others.

1 part apple cider vinegar
2 parts water

Gargle and spit twice
Then Gargle and swallow the third time. Do this at least 3 times a day after eating. It changes the acid balance in your throat so strep can't survive.

Hope you're feeling better soon.

Hey there,
You might try oil pulling... it works wonders for throat/mouth issues.
Hope you feel better!

maybe there tonsoliths or tonsils stones. when I eat certain things, they become worse and a few weeks ago I was in excruciating pain b/c imy tonsils were swollen and infected. do a search online to learn more about them and how to get rid of them. by the way, I was told I had strep and was given an antibiotic ( it wasnt true)!! take care and feel better:p

hello everyone,
thanks for the advice:D

crawmommy: i've never heard of tonsle stones.. what are they??
Liserpiece; i was accually thinking of oil pulling... is saflower oil ok to use???

I believe that you have the strep throat. Try Ireland's remedy as well as Liserpiece's and if you don't get results really quickly - go to a doctor. Strep is nothing to fool around with. It can get very serious and life threatening.

I meant to put this link in so you can reference, but completely forgot. The pictures are kind of disgusting.

"These white spots may be raised and they cannot be scraped off."
