Back in 1983, the February 10th issue of the NEWENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE reported that a three-yearstudy of decongestants and antihistamines commonlyprescribed by ear specialists showed that they are nobetter than nothing at all. Putting tubes in achild's ears is hardly a pleasing alternative. Whenyour child (or adult family member) has pain in oraround the ear, here are some other

approaches toconsider. Simple earache is likely to be a symptom of an earinfection. Almost anything you do to fight theinfection will fight the earache as well. Large dosesof vitamin C are especially effective. At highlevels, vitamin C is a natural antibiotic andantihistamine. It will also reduce inflammation andfever, and is safer than pharmaceutical drugs. HOW TOLIVE LONGER AND FEEL BETTER by Dr. Linus Pauling, THEHEALING FACTOR by Dr. Irwin Stone, and CLINICAL GUIDETO THE USE OF VITAMIN C edited by Lendon Smith, M.D.will substantiate this. These are very important booksfor you to read.Details of vitamin C dosage and administration,written by medical doctors, will be found athttp://www.doctoryourself.com/titration.htmlhttp://www.doctoryourself.com/ortho_c.htmlhttp://www.doctoryourself.com/klenner_table.htmlhttp://www.doctoryourself.com/klennerpaper.html Warm, damp compresses are a traditional earachetreatment. A washcloth moistened in warm tap waterworks fine, and feels good. To help relieve pressure and encourage naturaldrainage, you can try a simple massage technique. Gently press right under each ear. Now continuepressing, moving downward and forward along and justunder the edge of the jawbone. You have just massagedthe Eustachian tubes. Eustachian tubes are internalpassages connecting each inner ear to its own openinginside the upper throat. Repeatedly massaging

likethis aids in relaxing, dilating and clearing thistube. Before resorting to artificial tubes, let's trythe ones we were born with! Naturopaths believe that ear aches andinfections are caused fundamentally by improper diet. Many kids are fed meat, white bread, sugar andchemically-doctored foods daily. This must stop, orthe earaches won't. A near-vegetarian diet with lotsof fruit, vegetable salads, whole grains, and non-meatprotein results in healthier children. Think thatyour kids won't accept these good foods? Consider thepowerless alternative of medicines that are no betterthan a placebo. Start them eating right early, and itwill pay dividends for a lifetime.Copyright 2003 and prior years by Andrew Saul, Number8 Van Buren Street, Holley, New York 14470 USA Telephone (585) 638-5357Please pass this
