Quote:Number 2 would have problems. Doctors, I'm sure, are sophisticated enough to distinguish between regrown tonsils and originals. They are professional enough to see there were no surgery marks and therefore no removed tonsils. Being a doctor I think Dr Philben would be smart enough to realize this too and know he couldn't get away with it. Professional doctors would not reach for the easily disproven 'regrown tonsils' excuse as quickly as you do because they would realize it wouldn't work - just as it isn't working for you here. Doctors also collect data. They want to collect statistics on regrown tonsil rates. They would inquire and ask Marguerite and even Lee if the original tonsils were removed. Perhaps you sense these serious flaws so you prefer number 1.




What bones and muscles do you manipulate to treat tonsils? And what possible reason would Marguerite think whatever manipulation she witnessed was intended for the tonsils? You're on swampy ground at best and fishing. Could you please articulate clearly how a non-present Marguerite came to the conclusion that a treatment she had no means of witnessing was a tonsillectomy? Your scenario requires Marguerite to drop Lee off for a non-specific illness for which she had no consultation with the doctor and then made a completely blind assumption that it was a tonsillectomy based on nothing you can describe. I'm sorry but you're not seriously offering this to adult people? You're not seriously offering this after attacking and ridiculing people for their entries? Is this what a mother would have done with a 5 year old child? Dropped him off and guessed?




Are you joking? You dare offer something like this? This is the old option number one isn't that believable so offer option number two, but then bounce it back to number one since number two isn't that believable either...

Funny, but I Googled Dr. Philben of Dallas a few hours ago and saw EXACTLY the same thing. No doubt this guy was Board Certified for surgery, or he would have been tarred and feathered in Dallas. This argument is over! No doubt Parker will keep saying blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah.

Quote:Well said, Albert! This entire thread is INSANE. A mother doesn't know when her young son's throat has been cut open? It takes two weeks to recover from a tonsillectomy, and a far higher percentage of young children had tonsillectomies sixty years ago than do now. Mothers knew more about the procedure then. This is Crazy Town!

Quote:III. Suggested Therapeutic Regimen


Tonsillectomy as such should be reserved for those cases which are refractory in their nature or which create a dangerous level of toxins within the system.


Osteopathic adjustments and manipulations should be begun immediately to correct abnormal impulses from lesions and subluxations and to bring about more adequate lymph drainage to the area of the tonsils and surrounding tissue.


Cleansing of the body should be instituted, using enemas or colonics where possible, or cathartics such as BiSoDol, phosphate soda, or syrup of pepsin (such as is found later in this commentary).


For those conditions in which drainage from inflamed nasal tissue and tonsillar tissue creates an acid condition in the stomach, Glyco-Thymoline in small doses is helpful. Most commonly an alkaline-reacting diet would be advisable.


Rest without straining of the body or throat or eyes is important in this condition. Persistence and consistency in carrying out the recommendations always seem to be a portion of the suggestions given in the readings.


It is important that the adjustments and the cleansing of the intestinal tract be done in cycles until the throat is completely normal and that a proper diet be maintained during this time.


Tonsillitis Tonic


If we would take a tonic such as Codiron, three tablets each day - these taken at mealtimes - we will find that we will make for greater improvement in the general health of the body. (815-4)

Greg R Parker Wrote:Philben was NOT a MD in 1945. Will you guys ever get that through your skulls? The only bodies recognizing him as a doctor were Osteopathic associations.


There is NO WAY that Philben was licensed to practice medicine as an MD in 1945 - and therefore no way he could legally have performed any operation.

Greg R Parker Wrote:ON April 17, 1945, Marguerite took out a life insurance policy on Lee and wrote on the form that Lee had had a tonsillectomy performed by Dr Philben on Jan 17 of that same year.
