I have been doing this now for 4 days, and my ears are the best they have been in 10 months. It might not work for everyone,but it is worth a try..good luck!!

It sounds like something that is a worth a try without being expensive or harmful. I would say that we'd have to be careful about the temperature of the concoction because too cool might give you an earache and too warm might cause harm. Also might want to strain it to be sure there are no garlic particles that would get into the ear. I'm always extremely careful about what goes in my ear as I am sure most of us are. In a lighter vein, did any of your friends say to you the next day, "For some reason I feel like having a salad for lunch"? .:~:._.:~:._.:~:._.:~:._.:~:._.:~:._.:~:._.:~:._.:~:.

I use it for ear infections, and find it's as effective as antibiotics when used in a timely manner. Any severe infection should be seen by a doctor, of course. You can also rub it on the bottom of your feet before going to bed to draw out toxins. It's also a natural de-parasiter and is effective on bug bites. I've never used it for tinnitus, though. I've started a new positive affirmation CD, and if it doesn't work will then try the garlic/oil.

The only ear infections I've had were a few years ago, and I didn't use the garlic oil treatment. Duh! I used three prescriptions of antibiotics instead and ended up with tinnitus.

During most of my training and career, the party line was to treat kids with signs of ear infection with antibiotics. In the last decade or so, there have been lots of studies showing that most ear infections require NO treatment. Most....... I do remember taking care of a kid with a brain abscess from an untreated ear infection. Actually, it was being treated, but not with any form of western medicine. Of course, this is phenomenally rare. And now rarer still with vaccinations against the bacteria that cause ear infections. However, old graveyards have plenty of little kids who died from the (then) untreatable ear infections that resulted in severe head and brain infections. But I digress. There are exceptions to everything and dramatic examples of failures of any treatment. Despite our best attempts at control, life is a crapshoot. Best bet - choose your genes carefully. jon
