Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 Here's an update on my ear aches / congestion. Last week had 1 night each of massive earaches (1 night per each ear), then solid congestion since. Slight cough, no nasal congestion. Friday my eyes got red, swollen, and oozed gunk like crazy for a day and a half. Been tired as heck, although improving since Friday. Have tried diluted hydrogen peroxide in one ear, and the garlic/mullein in olive oil in the other. Other than lots of internal fireworks with the peroxide, nothing. Still eating LOTS of garlic, taking Oregano EO & Total Nutrition & Total Tonic, drinking GALLONS of fluids, haven't had meat or dairy in two years. Predominantly raw vegan, some cooked vegetables. Any other suggestions? I'm tired of not being able to hear ... (although it's a great reason to hang up on telemarketers :-) Blessings, Dianne Friends. Fun.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 Diane, take an onion, roast it for about a half hour in the oven, let cool cut it in half and put it over your ear. (stick a bandana over it so that it stays) leave it on for as long as you can, I generally recommend sleeping with it on. You should have really gross stuff stuck all over it in the morning. I don't know if you can do both ears at the same time unless you sleep on your back But one a night will do it.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 Diane, by the way, put a tiny piece of the onion in your ear before you wrap the half onion over it. Bonnie Rogers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 I would go to a doctor, not for their crap but to have some one look inside the ear to see what is going on. The garlic/mullein really should have taken care of it.
