Many parents of young children have experienced firsthand the frustrating ineffectiveness of antibiotics and the growing power of infections when trying to address the ubiquitous childhood ear infection. ear infections occur when bacteria or viruses get into the small air pocket behind the eardrum (middle ear) and cause an infection, which leads to a buildup of pus accompanied by pain, fever, and possibly drainage of pus from the ear.
There is a small tube called the Eustachian tube that connects the middle ear to the throat and that lets air move in and out of the middle ear. | | It turns out that antibiotics have minimal impact on ear infections and that, unless a child is toxic (very visibly ill and unresponsive), simple ear infections are best treated with ibuprofen, a local painkiller for the ear, and otherwise left alone. If the child does not show improvement after three days, then it is time to go to the doctor. In years of treating children this way there have been no adverse outcomes.1'21 wish the doctor had followed the wait-and-see approach when my daughter was a child. |

Otitis media or middle ear infections are caused by bacteria or viruses and are most common in infants and young children. Symptoms include a high fever (103?F or higher), earache, and a feeling of fullness or pressure in the ear. Children will often pull at their ears. |

My wife and I took our son to a nutritionally-orientated doctor who took him off of his favorite food, cow's milk, cheese, sour cream, and yogurt, and in seven days our son was cured. According to Dr. Michael A. Schmidt in his book Healing Childhood ear infections, the overwhelming majority of surgeries for ear infections could be prevented by taking children off of milk. |

Infants and children thrive on raw, whole foods. When weaning babies, introduce raw fruit first, then after a while, vegetables, both of which can be pulverized and broken down in a blender, food processor, or juicer. As they grow, babies are gradually able to handle a greater variety of whole fruits and vegetables. Make this type of food a major portion of their intake, and watch the results.
Further information about feeding babies and children is available in Dr. | | As a result, symptoms such as colds, sinusitis, ear infections, measles, chicken pox, and eczema arise. As vitality lowers, the body cannot afford the expenditure of energy required for the alternate elimination, and is forced to store toxins in its tissues. As this continues, toxins are stored in the deeper layers of the tissues where they eventually cause diseases such as arthritis, heart disease, senility, and cancer. |

See book keywords and concepts | | When my fourteen-year-old daughter was still in her single digits, she repeatedly got ear infections that caused enough pain to make her cry. (Who could blame her?) Being responsible parents, we would take her to the pediatrician, who would dutifully write a prescription for an antibiotic like amoxicillin. After treatment, her symptoms would go away, and she'd feel fine for a few weeks. Then, the pain and infection would come back, and the whole cycle would begin again. The repeated doctor visits and treatments were expensive, time-consuming, and inconvenient. |

A deep, gravelly voice, especially in women, is often a dead giveaway of heavy smoking, now or in the past. Indeed, many women who smoke are mistaken for men over the phone. Whether you're a man or a woman, smoking can cause your vocal cords to thicken, giving you the characteristic "smoker's voice."
Smoker's voice is often a sign of Reinke's edema, a swelling of the vocal cords rarely seen in nonsmokers. |

I know of a young mother who was unable to digest milk products. One week, when her new son was five weeks old, she ate a piece of cheese pizza and an ice-cream cone. By the end of that week, her son, who was breastfeeding, began bleeding with each bowel movement. |

TESTING CONTINUES
The study results are "very exciting" but still preliminary, says Dr. Allan S. Lieberthal, a pediatrician at Kaiser Permanente in California and cochairman of the American Academy of Pediatrics' and American Academy of Family Physicians' subcommittee on the management of acute otitis media. | | Thus, the vaccine protects against the two main causes of middle ear infections, the researchers say.
THE STUDY
The study included nearly 4,700 infants, ages three to 15 months, who were followed-up until the end of their second year. Half of the infants got the vaccine and half were given a hepatitis A vaccine to serve as a control group.
The researchers found 333 cases of acute otitis media in the group that received the vaccine compared with 499 ear infection cases in the control group. |

See article keywords and concepts |  Don't worry about the fact that antibiotics are useless against ear infections, or that they wipe out your child's friendly intestinal flora and cause nutritional deficiencies. It's doctor-recommended, so it must be good, right? Result: Billions of doses of useless antibiotics helped breed a new generation of superbug viruses that have now escaped the hospitals and are infecting the public at large. Antibiotics are useless to stop them, and doctors still have not figured out that you can kill superbugs with colloidal silver or garlic. |

See article keywords and concepts |  The flow also reduces pressure differences inside the bottle, which, we were told, can help reduce ear infections in infants (because air pressure differences can push bacteria right into the ear canal through an infant's eustachian tubes). We weren't able to test this feature, so you'll have to test it yourself to see how well it works.
The bottles aren't cheap, as you might have expected. A starter set that comes with three bottles and various lids (nipple, trainer cup, etc.) sells at around $45. See full pricing at: http://www.newbornfree.com/Default.aspx? |

It's also a great natural remedy for ear mites in dogs and cats: just place several drops in the affected ears daily for a week.
For skin conditions, insect bites, and sore muscles and joints, liberally apply the oil topically several times daily. For ear infections, place two drops of the oil inside the ears. For internal use, 2 ml in a small glass of warm water is taken two or three times daily. |

See book keywords and concepts | | In spite of the fact that guidelines state not to treat some types of ear infections with antibiotics, many doctors do so anyway. The type of ear infection that causes fluid discharge from the ear, without evidence of acute infection (bulging eardrum, extreme pain, high fever), is often treated with antibiotics, although it increases the risk of reinfection.
What is the worst thing that could happen if your child got an ear infection? Well, the infection could possibly spread to his or her brain, causing meningitis (which can be fatal or cause brain damage). |

See book keywords and concepts |  This is one of the major reasons almost all children develop ear infections. When ear infections develop, doctors load up the children with massive amounts of antibiotics. These antibiotics wipe out all the friendly flora in the colon, setting off a Candida yeast overgrowth, which then turns into a fungus permeating the entire body and causing all types of medical problems throughout the child's life.
It is important to note that before 1988 only one in every 2,500 American children had autism. Today, one in every 166 children has autism. |

As if all that weren't enough for Zachary and his family to swallow, there is growing evidence that the sum of chemicals accumulating within us may be more toxic in combination than each chemical is alone. Think back to Becky's day. |

See book keywords and concepts |  You remember that with ear infections about 70 percent of children get better without any antibiotics and 95 percent get better faster with antibiotics. With sinus infection the numbers are a little different. With sinus infection about 60 percent of children will get better without any antibiotics and 95 percent will get better faster with antibiotics.
Because the bacteria that cause sinus infection are the same as those that cause ear infection, the antibiotics used to treat sinus infection are also the same. The best antibiotic to treat sinus infection is amoxicillin. |

Today, it is also used by AIDS patients as an alternative, organic, natural herbal medicinal remedy to relieve throat and chest congestion. You can add generous amounts of turmeric to your cooked foods every day. Added to vegetables, rice, beans, soups, etc., turmeric does not just taste delicious, but is also deliciously healthy. | | The many nutrients in green beans can help to prevent a number of different conditions, including Alzheimer's, arteriosclerosis, diabetic heart disease, colon cancer, asthma, arthritis, acne, ear infections, and even colds and flu.
Note: Green beans contain a measurable amount of oxalates. So if you suffer from oxalic acid stones in the kidneys, make certain to cleanse your kidneys before eating green beans on a regular basis.

SIGN OF THE TIMES
»Oscar Wilde suffered from ear infections all his life. After his release from prison, he finally had surgery on his ear—apparently to remove cholesteatomas. Unfortunately, he died a few weeks later of meningitis. Ironically, his father, Sir William Wilde—a leading eye and ear specialist— pioneered a surgical procedure to treat mastoiditis and remove cholesteatomas, which was probably used on his son. |

Besides antibiotics, other drugs such as the contraceptive pill and Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) have been shown to cause Candida. |
Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph. D., and Jacqueline Nardi Egan
See book keywords and concepts | | Chronic middle ear infections can cause hearing loss, ear polyps, cholesteatomas (skin-like cysts in the middle ear), and mastoiditis (a serious infection of the bony structure behind the ear). If untreated, both cholesteatomas and mastoiditis may lead to meningitis and even death.
EAR SIGNS ONLY WE SENSE
ITCHY EARS
Having an itch where you can't scratch—like in your ear—can drive you crazy. Not surprisingly, itchy ears are another sign of allergies or skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. |

The Truth: drinking pasteurized milk from the local grocery store is frequently associated with a decline in health, including ear infections in infants and children and sinus infecrions in adults. If you know of any infants or children with chronic ear infection, you can almost be certain that the cause is pasteurized milk. A healthier choice is goat's milk. | | Milk/dairy intolerance is the primary cause of recurrent ear infections, which are the most common complaint pediatricians face. In North America alone, 25 million children visit the doctor annually with an ear infection, which results in over 1 million surgeries on children.
When my oldest son was two years old, he had severe recurrent ear infections to the point he could not hear for four months and was scheduled for emergency surgery. |
