Re: Pet eye question NOW re ears n bloodstream

[Guest guest]

I have often used some Vicks or Tiger Balm, TTOil, etc. in the ears

and nose when there's been a cold or other figuring that at least the

warm fumes might help w/congestions, etc. ( & it seems to). Does

anyone know if " bloodstream " levels have ever been measured for uptake

of medications, substances in the human ear?? In other words, would a

DMSO/whatever in the ears be a fast uptake for, for instance,

vitamin-minerals, or other natural remedies??? Joyce

I don't know if there's ever been any tests on this, and I have not ever heard anyone talk about using the ears to deliver medicine to humans, but on the other hand a very old method of stopping colds has been to put hydrogen peroxide drops in the ears.

When a cold is first felt, you put the drops in, and it can stop a cold almost immediately. Naturally, it's harder to do when the cold already has a strong hold.

So--if this works, I don't see why other things wouldn't work. The problem is having to keep liquids in the ears long enough for them to work. Cotton is the answer I suppose.

I believe this is based on the idea that cold and flu

viruses enter through our mucous

membranes, the ears being the primary route of entry.

I put 5% DMSO and 10 ppm CS in my ears, eyes and nose during

possible exposures.

I would not use the ears as a route of administration for

the whole body. There are other

more efficient ways.

To stop a cold in its tracks I have found Ferr Phos Tissue Salts are

wonderful - taken every 10 minutes or as your body demands - and homeopathic

Aconite also excellent
