treating ear infections w/o antibiotics

[Guest guest]

,

In Dr. Shaw's book, he recommends giving Echinacea and putting drops of garlic

and mull (or mullein) oil in the ear. He said he tried it on his son and it

resolved the ear infection overnight. There are also homeopatic drops that you

can find in health food stores. Dr. Shaw cites a German study that found that

ear infection relapses were much higher for children treated with antibiotics

than those for children treated with homeopathy.

I'm with you, I think I will go to great lengths to avoid going the antibiotic

route.

Good luck,

I also am terrified of ever using antibiotics again on my almost 2 year old

son. It had tubes put in back in July and we went GFCF in early August. Now

he has a cold and I am praying he won't go into yet another ear infection. I

have a bottle of liguid ethancea (sp?) in my frig. Has anyone used it and

did it work?
