Vinegar vs Cipro for ear infections

[Guest guest]

Intersting post about vinegar I wanted to pass on ...

A couple of years ago I was suffering from a very stubborn infection

in both of my ears. My ear doctor tried several antibiotics, but to

no avail. Cultures of the infection showed strong resistance to most

antibiotics, including Cipro. Eventually they had me on a regimen of

intravenous injections (which I had to do myself 3 times a day), and

a nurse would periodically come to my home and change the vein into

which I would inject the antibiotic. This was all very nerve

wracking.

That didn't seem to be making much progress, but my doctor learned

of an ear specialist who apparently had a regimen that seemed

effective in solving tough ear infections. Ironically, the night

before I went to see this doctor, my dear old mother-in-law tried to

convince me to try using a vinegar ear wash. Seems she had a book

on " miracle " uses for vinegar. Can you guess what the Phoenix

doctor's special regimen was? Vinegar and water! Use any vinegar,

white is fine, and mix in equal amounts with water. Warm slightly so

you don't screw up your equilibrium by putting cold water in your

ear. Be sure not to make it too warm. Get an ear flush bulb and

flush the affected ear 2 -3 times with the mixture twice a day. In a

few days my infection was history!
