Guest guest Posted July 26, 2002 Report Share Posted July 26, 2002 Does anyone know anything that can help me with an ear infection? I get ear infections constantly...sometimes 2-3x a month. They are very painful, and it seems that nothing makes them go away...forever. Lately, I even think that I am having problems hearing, but it may just be the swelling in the ear canal... Any suggestions? LostFaith2002 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 26, 2002 Report Share Posted July 26, 2002 I tried to make strong yarrow tea. and put few drops in each ear while is still warm. My doctor also told me to put 3 drops of alcohol and 3 drops of white vinigar and mix well. Put 3 drops of this mix in each ear. jasmina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 26, 2002 Report Share Posted July 26, 2002 For an effective short term fix, you can try hydrogen peroxide in your ears -- http://www.mercola.com/2002/mar/13/hydrogen_peroxide.htm But if you are interested in fixing the cause... some doctors (Dr. Stoll at http://www.askwaltstollmd.com is one of them) say that ear infections go away when you avoid dairy and/or wheat.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2002 Report Share Posted July 27, 2002 When something is chronic like this, always look at your diet. There may be one commonly eaten food that is undermining you. When the immune system is temporarily depressed by a food, it will usually hit one area of the body consistently that is for some reason weak. This kind of weakness is sometimes not directly repairable, since it may be the result of a birth defect. There are many birth defects that are not readily apparent. For example, i have a couple of tendons missing in my legs, and can't ever sit comfortably on the ground. These things happen to lots of people. When having to treat a painful ear infection, the things that i've found work the best are megadoses of Vitamin C (up to 12 grams a day!) and Golden Seal capsules every other day. One company, Nutrina (hope that's still their name) has an excellent Golden Seal/Feverfew combination that i've used with great success. I'm gonna look up Nutrina on the web now, and post a correction if necessary. At 01:51 PM 7/26/02 EDT, you wrote: > >Does anyone know anything that can help me with an ear infection?
