Anti-biotics – Glad I live in a Time That Has Them

I have been plagued since childhood with bad ears.  Seems my eardrums don’t seal properly and I get terrible sinus/ear infections.  I am suffering through another occurrence right now, but with the help of modern anti-biotics I know I will be much better soon.  My first occurrence I remember is when I was about eight years old, traveling with my family and suddenly my fever shot up to 105 and I went into delirium.  Both my Eustachian tubes had collapsed.  Those are the passages that equalize pressure from your throat to your middle ear.  It was like in the movies where you have the sweaty sick person babbling incoherently.  After a bottle of Ampicillin it was like nothing had happened.  Six broken ear drums and two ear surgeries later, I find myself still slurping up the penicillin derivatives.  It’s funny if you think about it.  Pre-1940 I would have died at age 8.

    And some of the time in other countries, the first thing that is done at the symptoms of ear aches is STOP all dairy products. (that would be milk for most American children and adults too) While you are at it, pay attention to how much sugar you eat. If your infections are yeast connected, sugar will slowly but surely grow the yeast fungi in the ears and other parts of the body. Ask your doctor and he/she will tell you, we all have yeast in our body. To that, I say yes indeed. It is the quantity that makes the difference. Much like a glass of wine a day has good medicinal proprieties while the bottle a day, slowly and surely has an effect on the liver, kidney and other parts of the body. We humans…. tick tick tick, like a Swiss watch.
