Condition is liquid buildup in ear, that I mop out daily with Q-tips. Online research yielded the name of the condition: otitis media. This began in January from daily swims in a Mexican rainforest river. Hoping it would dry out. It did in one ear, but going on 3 1/2 months in the other. (chronic). I can feel my eustachian tube on that side,... evidently mucous or something is traveling up the eustachian, entering from behind the eardrum into the outer ear. Bacteria, fungus, microbes, inflammation?
What I've tried, self-medicating, to no avail so far: topical teatree application, alchohol flush, H3O flush, vinegar flush, over the counter sinus drying/decongesting tabs, septrim antibiotic tabs,... but whatever it is has gotten a firm hold.
Of course I prefer a natural remedy, but as you see, I'll try anything to knock the bastard out.
I'm about 95% vegan, but will eat some raw fish for omegas, and will eat some high-calcium content cheese. Not a smoker, moderate beer/wine consumption.
Would love to get a practical remedy.

Re: effusion in ear...advice?
Mon, April 28, 2008 - 4:41 PMHi Briggi:
You forgot to tell us if swimming in the rainforest river was ultimately worth it!
...First... Did you try doing an actual H30+ flush ( Hydronium, if so, can you share your source of H3O+, as I'd like to get some! )... or an H2O2 flush ( Hydrogen Peroxide? ).
The second most potent natural "ear treatment" protocol I've used is an oligodynamic colloidal silver "freshly" combined with hydrogen peroxide. You fill the ear with this solution, while laying on one side, and allow the solution to remain in-ear for at least 5 minutes, preferrably 15. You do this 2/3 times daily, or as often as needed.
The most powerful protocol I've experienced ( but it can, to some people, become unbearable, and the treatment duration can be quite long ) is funnelling ozone in the ear ( at between 1.5% ( a bit too low ) and 5% ozone concentration ) for between 5 and 15 minutes, 1-3 times daily.
It would be really nice to understand what kind of a microbe you're dealing with; however, you also may consider trying natural healing clay packs on the ear.
Before you dismiss the latest idea, you might want to visit a friend of mine's website:

At any rate, please let us know how you progress....
Kind Regards,

Re: effusion in ear...advice?
Mon, April 28, 2008 - 5:10 PMya Jason, that was a great river, unspoiled, and with a strong current that'd zip you along downstream. We were camped on an oxbow so you could emerge not 100 meters from where you went in half hour before. Quite a ride... repeated often.
I meant hydrogen peroxide, H2O2.
I live rurally...Is coloidial silver available from pharmacies? Is mixing it in how one combines it?
In what form is ozone available and how to administer?
Are either of these two something I could make at home, or else a component of an easily available household product?
Excuse the questions...this is all new to me.

Colloidal silver can be made at home or purchased online, or purchased from a health food store.
Even people who are very familiar with CS may not be aware of the following conversation between some of the top researchers in the field, including Dr. Bart Flick, M.D., Gregg Silver, Ivan Anderson, and Stephen Quinto of the Immunogenic Research Foundation:
www.silvermedicine.org/silverlon.html
The power of silver and H2O2 combined is best illustrated via the following story ( Nancy was a friend of mine ):
testimonials.silvermedicine.org/co...tml
The reaction between hydrogen peroxide and oligodynamic colloidal silver particles is explosive. The kenetic energy released can be likened to a minute electrical current.
At least one silver ion is "thrown" from the agglomerate ( tiny cluster of siver atoms ), and one O- molecule is also released from the reaction ( H2O2 ---> H2O + O- ).
Both the silver ion and the nascient oxygen are antimicrobial. The chemical reaction between the silver and the H2O2 itself acts as a silver ion delivery system.
If the silver ions can thus reach the infection, it will eliminate it.
To start, you'd only want to add a drop or two of H2O2 to a an ounce of CS.... Then, you can increase the amount of H2O2 you add...if needed... as long as it doesn't burn the ear ( if you are using straight H2O2 in the ear already, then you likely won't have a problem ).
Ozone is not so simple... The equipment is expensive; I just wanted to put it out there in case you just happened to know someone with the equipment, or if you lived in an area where ozone therapy is actually legal.
You may want to look at a few of the ealier posts on antimicrobial healing clays as well... Like the "ASU" post ( I supplied ASU with one the samples of clays that they used in their study ).
Having a potential parasitic or bacterial infection that close to the brain is not a thing I'd want to mess around with, so I hope you can find something to really knock it out.
Best Regards,

my hunch is it's funghal because of no response to anti-biotics.... and not viral because no response to heavy teatree oil application. Also funghal because consistent with rainy tropical rainforest incubation environment.
That silver coloid feels like powerful stuff. I've heard the term from years back. Why has not the mainstream medical establishment embraced it?
Searching online about eustachian tubes yielded recommendations for use of pseudo-ephedrine.... component of sinus issues remedies. .....Only pseudoephedrine is no longer available over the counter due its widespread use as a meth ingredient. There are a couple of Ma Huang bushes near here (= Ephedra = Mormon Tea) but the deer munch them to the nub.
Briggi searches deeper in the medicine chest. Briggi finds about 11 tabs of old Dexatrim from 9 years back. [40mg caffeine, 12mg ephedrine/per each... (diet pills)]. Briggi swallows. This shit buzzes you up all night, but over the last 18 hours my ear is finally starting to not be wet. The symptom of wetness is caused by its being wet; bad syndrome; solution: drying of it. It's still swollen in there but let's see how it goes. I'm optimistic.

Re: effusion in ear...advice?
Tue, April 29, 2008 - 8:08 PMHi Briggi:
Kudos to you for your creative thinking!
If it works, it works!
Much of the ENLIGHTENED medical community knows about the benefits of silver. This Includes most infectious disease specialists in any major city ( but they cannot use or recommend the use of oligodynamic colloidal silver, because it is NOT FDA approved, and therefore, if you are not a medical professional, they won't even discuss it ). I had a meeting with one of Southern California's leading infectious disease specialists a few years ago. He specializes in diabetic wound infections. He uses a silver salt compound to pack infected wounds, and attributes silver to his "miraculous" success ratio in saving limbs that other MD's felt needed to be amputated. He doesn't even tell his patients that it is silver that is being used.
Silver Sulfadiazine is the #1 FDA approved burn cream prescribed by MD's for serious burn treatments, to speed tissue healing and prevent the burn sites from infection. Silver in this form, however, is less effective for infection elimination.
Silveron ( Dr. Bart Flick's creation ), is an FDA approved wound care dressing.... The FDA even tried to pull their approval of the product about four years ago; but failed, due to the evidence that Dr. Bart Flick et al presented.
The politics of medicine is very ugly; very uninspiring. Let the naive be naive; let the powerless remain powerless; sometimes, ignorance IS bliss, even if it can be lethal.
I have access to three medically written, authoritative books on the subject of oligodynamic colloidal silver ( which is NOT FDA approved ). However, the books are only available to licensed medical doctors ( do you have a local country DOC that enjoys expanding his true knowledge? ).
I am not a "proponent" of colloidal silver, or any other alt med treatment. I am a researcher that studies many substances. I can only report to you my research and experience, and leave "discernment" up to you, based upon available knowledge.
Kind Regards,
Jason
