Tonsillitis

Tonsillitis
Tonsillitis is simply inflammation of the tonsils.(Tonsils/itis, where itis means inflammation)

Causes

Major cause is the infection. Certain bacteria (Most common being streptococcal group), viruses, and allergens are known to produce Tonsillitis. Tonsillitis may also occur as aresult of certainallergy to food-preservatives, artificial colors, etc.

Why does one get Tonsillitis?

Tonsils may be considered as two guards standing at the entrance (throat) and protecting the human system against a wide range of intruders such as bacteria, virusallergens and the like. Tonsils are natural protectors and vital organs of self-defensemechanism of the body. They are like the soldiers fighting on the border who get injured (inflamed) protecting the country.

When the internal immune system is low or weak, one tends to get infections. Tonsils work towards protecting us against the infections. Inflamed tonsils or recurrent tonsillitis is the resultof low immunity and not the cause of it. The treatment should be targeted towards enhancing the immunity and not by removing the tonsils!

Brutal attack on AAP volunteers by Delhi police

Delhi police brutality! Yesterday many of our volunteers were brutally beaten up by the Delhi police for protesting outside the police station asking for the police to register an FIR in the case of a  young woman who was confined and raped for 2 days in Gokulpuri.  The picture (see below) and videos of the incident shows the viciousness of the attack on peacefully protesting young men and women.  Several of them were admitted to the hospital with broken bones and bleeding wounds.  When one of our volunteers asked for water, he was offered urine.  (Read the  news report  in 'The Hindu') Volunteers are our strength and when the police beats up any one of us, each lathi, each blow is a pain inflicted on all of us. Gandhiji’s freedom fighters had to endure the same brutality at the hands of the British rulers. Little did we know that this unjust treatment would continue even after we got independence and this time at the hands of our ow...

How To Keep the Losers Out Of Your Life

One of the biggest challenges of giving relationship advice to people is telling them like it is while not being too blunt about it. Honestly, I don’t mind sharing my insights whenever the guy in their life is giving them some grief. But the thing I’ve noticed with these poor gals is that their problems aren’t just AVOIDABLE, but also caused by their OWN doing. At first, you’d think these girls have the worst of luck when it comes to men. Why else would they wind up with one jerk after another? But the hard truth is that these losers are in their lives because they ALLOWED it to happen. They may not have any control over their guy’s jerky behavior, but ENABLING it is another matter. Sometimes, I feel like telling them that it’s THEIR fault for putting up with it, but constructive advice is a lot more effective than playing the blame game. Based on my own experience, I’ve learned a little trick to break the nasty cycle of dating the same jerk over and over. After I made a ...

The Three Deadly Sins Of Dating

No one said it was easy to become the best man you could possibly be to attract women. Any guy knows that he’s putting himself on the line every time he’s out there, interacting with the opposite sex. Any way you look at it, the dating scene can be a tough gig to play. But then again, anything of value requires time and effort, doesn’t it? For some guys, they understand that investing themselves comes with the territory. They get that they need to work on themselves physically, mentally and attitude-wise if they’re interested in a flourishing dating life. Unfortunately, some men run into their share of bad luck and end up being bitter and resentful when things go south. They have trouble rolling with the punches and getting back on their feet. But the truth is that dating can often be an uphill effort for the majority of the male population. However, you should bear in mind that the payoff is pretty sweet. Imagine having more dates in your calendar than you can handle and...
