Sam Faiers Criticized for Urging Holistic Tests Before Nephew’s Tonsillectomy

Billie Shepherd says her eight-year-old is scheduled for tonsil removal following multiple bouts of tonsillitis.

Overview

  • In a Sister Act clip, Faiers advises exploring allergy or intolerance testing and other holistic options before surgery, saying "Everything in your body serves a purpose."
  • Billie says Arthur suffered tonsillitis about six times last year, and a doctor described his tonsils as "really, really unhealthy."
  • Viewers condemned the advice as "dangerous," with commenters stressing that Faiers is not a medical professional.
  • Some commenters warned against delaying tonsil removal, sharing personal accounts of severe illness and long-term complications.
  • Coverage notes Faiers’ earlier sunscreen remarks drew a skin doctor’s criticism, and the Mirror says it has asked her representatives for comment.
