There was a time when it was fashionable to remove tonsils, even if they were healthy. I believe the reasoning was that tonsils served no purpose and the procedure was least unpleasant the younger the patient was.

Interesting point about the tonsils.
How many people have had them removed because the Drs thought they were the cause of colds etc?
I had colds every month when I was a child, and had a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy.
Turns out the cause of the colds was a milk allergy.
Needless to say, when covid started going around and Zelenko came out with his protocol, I got on the supplements C, D, zinc, quercetin, etc.
Want to hear something weird? My husband has asthma as a kid... back in the day when there really wasn’t very good asthma medicine. He got his tonsils and adenoids out and his asthma stopped. No idea why but he was then free to run in the grass, be outside etc..
The good thing about India is there a bathroom everywhere.
I wonder if your friend’s husband had been given significant amounts of anti malarial medication during his youth which built up defenses against viruses and germs, or which left him with lifelong immunity because of all the dead pathogens in his system.
This has been my experience also. Stopped smoking dope and later cut alcohol way back. Vitamin D and a multi vitamin every other day and havent been sick in years. Also exercise every day. Stress kills I think.
“How many people have had them removed because the Drs thought they were the cause of colds etc?”
Tonsils appear to be the first line of defense for the immune system for disease entering the nose and mouth. I may be their function and importance is not fully understood by modern medicine.
Perhaps it is time for medical research dollars to be redirected from “gain of function” research, making viruses stronger, to understanding the body’s immune system and ways to keep it healthy. Simply maintaining the correct balance of vitamins and minerals may be all that is needed to ensure the immune system works at maximum effectiveness in defending the body from natural (as opposed to manmade or man enhanced) disease. The cost of administering the correct mix of supplements to an individual throughout life, to insure the immune system thwarts disease when exposed, would be much lower than treating infected people with weak immune systems in hospitals with expensive drugs.
Flies don’t get sick.
My tonsils were removed at age 4. I was never vaccinated for anything except for smallpox. That was because my dad had the disease as a child. I was never sick throughout school. I caught my first childhood disease, chicken pox, from my daughter at age 27. Not a good experience. I’ve had some colds but never flu. My wife has her tonsils and she usually gets sick a couple of times a year. But until February 2022, we were healthy and unvaccinated. Despite taking extra C,D3, Quercetin, and Zn, we both caught something. We refused to get tested so they couldn’t count us and took the ivermectin protocol anyway. Lasted about 10 days, never really badly sick. Lingering cough though. Tested negative for Covid antibodies while still coughing.
Take away. The body is a complicated machine and unless you’re an identical twin or clone, every one is different.

You are right. The author is Dr. Yuhong Dong.
Not according to George Costanza. He held it in the whole time he was there. :)
“Your tonsils now, they guard your throat. they stand there, two guards, with hand grenades and bazookas, and anything bad that comes into your mouth, they fight it off. Well, in your case your tonsils have lost the war. In fact, your tonsils have gone as far as to join the other side and they’re going to kill you if we don’t take them out.”
