Do Tonsils Really Count?

i thought of something yesterday regarding my recent ability to run without having an asthma attack ... i had my tonsils out two years ago. they were very infected on a continual basis and caused me many illnesses my entire life. since then i've had a sore throat two times and one minor cold.

i wonder ... as i wander ... did that have more of an impact than i'm giving credit for?

honestly, i think there are a number of factors involved. Tonsil removal. Diet. Age. i think those are three key contributors to my recent exercise success.

does my asthma still flare up? oh yeah. but it's not a hindrance to me anymore.
