The TNT Family

So, I have learned a few things with the first ear infection, that I remember getting.

1. SuperBugs are not joke, transmitted by Docs, kill more than AIDS, and were launched through misuse of antibiotics particularly for ear infections.
2. Vinegar is not only good to drink, but cleans the ear. Applied with 50% rubbing alcohol
3. Garlic is not only good in food, but in the ear. Applied with olive oil, calendula, st. johns wort and mullein flowers.
3. To heat oil, place in a spoon over a boiling kettle.
4. Xylitol which is the filler in Stevita Supreme, my sweetener, since I gave up Agave Nectar, fights the specific bacteria which causes middle ear infection. Note: Since the hospital I started using Agave again to used up what we had of it, after doing a food inventory. A few days into my infection I switched back to the Stevita.
5. Alcohol somehow inflames the inner ear. I have found conclusive documentation on this one, but other testimonies. I took on sip of an Eel River Organic Acai Berry Wheat Ale tonight and was in excruciating pain.

It is getting better. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday were the worse, but since I began the alcohol/vinegar treatment and night and Mullein Garlic three times a day, it has cleared up. Meaning I can hear, my ear is not sensitive to the touch and it is not painful to eat/chew.
