Guest guest Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 Ethan had his first ear infections at age 7 and we used the homeopathic ear drops from the store (BHI brand I think) and also got mullein oil w/garlic eardrops, too. The combination of both of those, plus some heat pads on the ear, and ibuprofen on the first night to help him sleep, really took care of it. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 Homeopathic ear tablets work if the correct remedy is part of the mix (you won't know until you try it). Otherwise, find a homeopath. Also, warm olive oil in the ear works. I need Ear Infection advice asap > My 4.5yo dd had an ear infection a couple of weeks ago. The ped > prescribed Amoxicillan.

I have read good reports with garlic/mullein oil from local health food stores. >> Do enzymes help with these > things? For many kids, yes. Altho my son still needed milk removed, even with enzymes, or he would get major ear wax. I still limit his milk drastically. I only use it for cooking, butter, etc. > Also, she had a bladder infection a couple of months ago and was > prescribed Amoxicillan as well. Can there be a connection between > these two (the bladder and ear infections)? Systemic bacteria issues can cause both. Overdoing yeast-killers can cause both.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 I'd say her flora is out of whack and the antibiotics clear out the infection and everything else, and the bad stuff is just growing back faster. We use garlic mullein drops ( contain a small amount of olive oil also) and this has kept us from the antibiotics for quite some time. The last severe infection was following a course of Nizoral which set us up for the same thing you are experiencing. I'd recommend some heavy dosing of a good probiotic or two. The drops go in the ear at the first sign of a problem. Do it for two or three days, and stuff a little cotton in for the first 10 minutes. After our pediatrician saw how it worked, she told me to lay ph down, pull out his ear to create a funnel, administer the drops and then rub the cheek area up by the ear to massage it in.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 Supplements like ambrotose conntain it. you can get it in pure powdered form from thorne research or food science at. www.webvitamins.com. You may be able to find it locally. I found Nature's Plus Herbal Actives ARA-LARIX olive leaf complex containing 500 mg pure arabinogalactan and 250 mg oplive leaf in an extended release tablet. This has worked well for Mike, but it would be best suited for someone who could swallow large pills.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 As far as the ear infections go - the first peice of advice is NO MILK at all in any form - check all products for caesins and whey. The nice thing about Ambrotose Complex is that it also contains the other 7 sugars that help the bodies cells to communicate and heal itself. These sugars are the way cells communicate (of the last 8 nobel prizes 4 have been awarded in cell to cell communication) you can see a great deal of the validation at www.glycoinformation.com and the science of it at www.glycoscience.com. You can purchase it at www.mannapages.com/bfree2 as well. I am very excited about how this works for my son, as well as many other people I know - some examples are asthma, severe arthritis, conjunctivites, general well being - but my sons progress is the most exciting!
