I though science had recently discovered the actual function that parts like tonsils & the appendix served. I remember as a kid, my family's MD always wanted to yank my tonsils but, never got the chance to do. I don't remember be very sick as a child (other than second grade when most of my class got mumps, measles, chicken pox and scarlet fever in rapid succession. The nun got two months off and, once back, everyone got all the required work done. We were all promoted). If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If it is broke, listen to your MD.
