Windheat turning to Ear infections- hydrogen peroxide

[Guest guest]

FYI-

 

www.mercola.com lists the following very simple remedy which I have used

successfully for ear infections:

 

-------

-------

 

From what we have read, hydrogen peroxide works quite well and is

supposed to be effective 80% of the time, especially if done when the

symptoms first appear. While it seems contrary to what we have been

taught about colds and flu we know quite a few people who have tried it

with great success.

 

In 1928 Richard Simmons, M.D. hypothesized that colds and flu virus enter

through the ear canal. His findings were dismissed by the medical

community. According to Dr. Simmons, contrary to what you may think or

have been taught about how you catch the flu or the cold there is only

one way that you can catch the two, and that's via the ear canal not

through the eyes or nose or mouth as most have believed.

 

Keeping your fingers out of your ears will greatly reduce your chances of

catching them, but then again these two are microscopic and can be

air-born and may land on or even in your ear. Once they have entered the

inner-ear (middle-ear) there they begin their breeding process, and from

there they have access to every avenue throughout our body to travel to

and to infect and make us sick.

 

In 1938 German researchers had great success using hydrogen peroxide in

dealing with colds and the flu. Their data has been ignored for over 60

years.

 

It is important to begin treatment as soon as symptoms appear. If

treatment is started promptly effectiveness seems to be in the 80% range.

 

We have found remarkable results in curing the flu & cold within 12 to 14

hours when administering a few drops of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) into

each infected ear, (sometimes only one ear is infected) The H2O2 starts

working within 2 to 3 minutes in killing the flu or cold; there will be

some bubbling and in some cases mild stinging occurs.

 

Wait until the bubbling & stinging subside (usually 5 to 10 min) then

drain onto tissue and repeat other ear. A bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide in

3% solution is available at any drug store for a couple of dollars.

 

Although this method is perfectly safe for infant/children to use, the

loud bubbling and stinging frightens them, they'll need someone they

trust to put the hp in their ears. (don't get h2o2 in the eyes- if you

do, flush with water)

Thanks to one of your articles in your newsletter about using peroxide in

the ears for flu or colds, my family and I have had a relatively flu/cold

free winter! We have been exposed to a serious flu in our area, but have

managed to dodge it. Here are some specifics:

 

My 6 year old son had kept me up during one night with coughing and

sneezing. By noon the next day he had a fever. I then remembered recently

reading in your newsletter about using three drops of peroxide in each

ear for 10 minutes. You should have seen his face when I told him I was

going to put peroxide in his ears! He was nervous, but soon settled down.

It bubbled a lot in both ears. I did only one treatment in each ear, and

from then on, his fever went away and his symptoms were reduced to the

sniffles. That night he slept well, as did mom. The cold did not return!

 

Next came myself. About a week later I felt like my head was in a " fog " ,

a familiar fog that is a sure sign I am going to get sick with a bad cold

or flu. I used the peroxide treatment in each ear and went to bed about

an hour early. The next morning I felt fantastic! Not a trace of illness.

 

Again about a week after I had felt something coming on, my husband

started feeling " ugh " . I told him about the peroxide and he looked at me

skeptically. But he tried it. And it worked! He works for the school

district in the bus shop and is around the drivers (who are around all

those kids passing germs about) frequently.

 

 

At the same time my 10 year old son who is rarely sick said he didn't

feel well. I wasn't sure if he was saying that because he felt left out

(the peroxide treatment aroused his interest), or if he really was coming

down with something. So, I gave him a treatment, not seeing that any harm

would come of it. He had strong bubbling on one side. He soon felt better

and did not become ill.

 

The peroxide has been used a few other times on all of us with almost

amazing results. There was a different result in one case, which had to

do with myself. It had been a couple of weeks from my first use of the

peroxide on myself.

 

I came home from our local library book sale which was held in the

basement. I quickly became ill, as if allergic to something in the

basement, of which this was my first time down there. By the next morning

I had a full fledged cold and felt awful. I tried the peroxide.

 

Although I had to repeat the peroxide treatment about every 4 hours, the

peroxide alone relieved my symptoms! I was a bit tired, but other than

that, no sneezing, coughing, fever, etc. After about 4 hours I would feel

pressure building in my head (especially the ears) and I would begin to

get quite cranky. Then I would use the peroxide again and be much better.

 

 

The peroxide allowed me to maintain my schedule of homeschooling the boys

and doing my chores. It worked better than anything I have tried over the

years and had no side affects!

 

A few notes: the peroxide feels like ice when it is dropped into the ear!

It usually did not sting. The hardest thing for me to get used to was the

tickling of the bubbles!

 

Thank you again for the information on peroxide for flus and colds. This

wife and mom has had many peaceful nights thanks to you! Thank you also

for ALL the fantastic information that you pass along in your newsletter.

If it weren't for you, how would we know of these things?!?

Hi Yehunda,

 

Thank you so much for responding. This sounds like a wonderful

remedy, but the people I am seeing have had this virus for months

whereas this article talks about using it right away...do you think

this would still be worth trying? Have you ever treated someone who

already had it deeply intrenched in their system this way?

 

Thanks--

[Guest guest]

Every person is unique. I am reminded of a conversation I had some years

back with Mel Werbach, a remarkable clinical professor of nutrition at

UCLA as well as a psychiatrist, and author of a number of books including

the clinical manual: " Nutrition influences on Illness " ISBN

0-87983-500-1. Werbach felt that there is a terrible mistake that

Western clinical medicine makes: looking for THE one bug, the one cause

of a given condition and nailing it with a magic bullet. Rather, he felt

that illness usually is the result of a number of factors that

collectively have weakened the patient until finally their systems

collapse with illness. His approach is to turn over one stone at a time,

addressing the many potentially contributing factors and trying

potentially different approaches, some of which might help, and others

might be dead ends and red herrings, until slowly and gradually, the

patient is able to recover from the load of illness. Almost like a mule

which collapses when the final straw is placed on its back, much needs to

be removed in order for it to again get back on its feet. I think that

the analogy is pretty clear. Anyway, the hydrogen peroxide is just one

load removed. Remember also, particularly with what appear to be

viral-like symptom, they could actually be manifestations of food

allergies, heavy metal toxicity, parasites, or any combination of them.

The approach, too, needs to be balanced with eliminating that which

potentially irritates and provokes while at the same time tonifying and

strengthening. This was a discussion from a couple of weeks ago, but I

really can't emphasize enough how our job as detectives need to be

multi-facteted.

 

Much success,

 

Yehuda
