       Perhaps the ear infection was caused by consumption of dairy
products and the drinking of cow's milk?

Maybe not ***caused*** by dairy but certainly ***promoted*** by dairy.

Try this herbal homeopthic remedy
"verbascum thapsus". Usually works for congestion with 24 hours. If there is
no congestion it isn't likely the infection will survive.

COMMENT:

V. thapsis (common mullein) is a purported herbal remedy. There's
nothing homeopathic about it, or at least shouldn't be. It would hardly
make sense within the theory of homeopathy to "homeopathize" what is
already an herbal REMEDY. Hello? Homeopathic Echinacia, anybody?*

*Accutally, as badly as Echinacea has done in the last controlled
trials, it might be better off homeopathized. It wouldn't work any
*worse* and it would save some Echinacea.

The distribution companies, homeopaths, herbalists, naturopaths and most
other professions disagree with you.

Only because it is bad for business.

Oh...now I see.  If it works medically and can be proven it works with
so-called "scientific testing" then it can't be called homeopathic because
many do not understand how homeopathic remedies work.

I guess I feel the same way about vaccines so you're wlecome to your
ignorance also.

There are two problems with Echinacea with regards to studing it.  
First, the Native Americans used very specific parts of the plant for
very specific problems.  If you read about how Echinacea supplements are
made these days, often the whole plant is used.  The second problem is
the preparation of the supplement.  The active parts of the plant are
very fragile.  Improper drying (high heat is commonly used) or rapid
pulverization can destroy the active parts of the plant.

I've compared 2 Echinacea supplements in the past.  The first was one I
got from Wal-Mart.  The second was a VERY expensive supplement from
Standard Process.  The Wal Mart brand did nothing for me or my wife.  
The supplement from Standard Process was different right from the time I
put it in my mouth.  It rested on my tongue for a little while as I
filled a glass with water to wash it down.  That part of my tongue
tingled for 15 minutes after that.  I then tested the Wal Mart brand to
see if it would do the same thing.  Nothing.

I realize that my one experience is not proof of anything, but my wife
and I both saw impressive results with the S.P. brand that we did not
get from the one purchased at Wal Mart.

COMMENT:

I read widely on the stuff, once. The only evidence I found for the
Amerinds using it for ANYTHING was to chew the root for toothache. So
ironically, the main use this stuff has been touted for in the West, is
not really an old one. But it sounds really secret and mystical to
pretend it's an ancient native remedy.

As if the aboriginal Americans were really concerned about head colds
and snotty noses while they were out there trying not to starve on the
great plains.  Riiiiiight.  Toothache, I might believe, because
untreated that's a whole other animal--- way worse than a cold. Also,
there are plenty of saponins in roots which are somewhat numbing, since
they're emulsifiers (saponin = L. for soap) and therefore screw up
membranes and nerves in membranes.

Echinacea makes most blood type O people sick.

Only type O positive, because they are descendants
of fisherpeople and shell gatherers who had no exposure
to echinacea.  Type O negative people are descendants
of inland hunting tribes who gathered herbs, dried
them using natural air-curing methods, and compounded
them into primitive capsules and tablets.  For these
early health-food tribes, echinacea provided energy,
heightened immune system response, greater sense of
well being, and a large income stream that can be
managed part-time or from home with only a modest
up-front initiation fee paid to your upline.  Or something
like that.  Hope this helps!  :-)

Most likely was too. History has shown us the way.

Fools never learn from their own experiences.

Cut out refined and manufactured crap foods, especially carbs like
sugars, starches and cereal grains. Eat lots of fresh meats, bone
broths, and fresh produce. Supplement b vitamins and C.

Eat real foods and you will not get ear infections, or if you do you
will probably not even know it until it is gone. The best way to
protect against infectious disease is to eat real foods and thus
develop and mainatin a healthy immune system.
