Ear aches, ear infection, colds and fever


Bless your heart Donna, you have your hands full.

Under normal conditions, for preventative measures, one to four teaspoons per day is a good dose.  However, with these illnesses, I would increase it by quite a bit.  You cannot overdose.  The silver will be stored in the tissues to prevent against further infection.  So.... with both your sons, triple the dose. 

For the earache, use the silver as eardrops.  It will clear the infection up. 

Continue what you are doing with the ethinacea, vitamin C, lots of fluids and I am going to post the remedies from Tony's Collected Home and Herbal Remedies.

Tony adds: There is really no such thing as too much of true colloidal silver and tougher illnesses need larger amounts. My suggestion would be one to two ounces a day.  There has been a bug lately that nothing seems to stop - and there is some evidence that it may come from chemtrails, in which case it would be more of a poison that a pathogen.

Ear ache or infection

  • For maximum effectiveness add a few drops of colloidal silver to any of the following, or use it by itself (warmed for comfort):
  • ase the pain and pressure of an ear infection with a store-bought blend of mullein (Verbascum densiflorum) and garlic (Allium sativum) infused oils. These oils kill pain and fight bacteria. Before bed, warm the drops. One way to do that is by placing the bottle in your armpit for 45 seconds. Tilt your head and squeeze 5 drops into the infected ear and then place a cotton ball in your ear for a few minutes to keep the drops from running out. You should experience immediate relief.
  • Make garlic oil: chop one to two bulbs of fresh garlic. Place the garlic in a double boiler, and cover with an inch of olive oil. Cover the pot, and warm the oil gently over low heat for one hour. Strain the oil through a piece of cheesecloth, and store it in a covered glass jar in the refrigerator. To use the garlic oil, place a small amount in a metal spoon and heat it gently over a flame until warm. Suction the oil up into an ear dropper, place a couple of drops into each ear canal, and plug the canal with a soft cotton ball. Repeat this every hour or as needed. Do not use garlic oil to treat an external ear infection or if you suspect a punctured eardrum.
  • Garlic, Apple Cider Vinegar, Honey, Eye Dropper, Warm Towel or Pad. Cut two to three cloves of garlic(fresh)into a bowl. Slice it in half real good so the juice comes out. Pour in about a teaspoon and a half of vinegar and melt in a little honey, not a lot(can heat it up warm if you prefer). Get an eye dropper and make sure you stir the substance up real good. Take that eye dropper and suck up a little solution at a time and put it in the ear. Let it sit for about a few seconds and drain it out. After draining it a few times the ear should draw out and reduce the pain. Add a warm to mildly hot pad or towel.
  • Another garlic oil remedy is to take garlic gel capsules and pierce the capsules to squeeze 4-6 drops in each ear.  Garlic has a natural antibody called allicin. Repeat two to three times daily.  Also take some of the capsules orally. You should see marked improvement in two to three hours and near complete resolution in 24 hours.
  • Cut an onion in half. Take the outer layer of 1 to 2 of the onion and put it over a flame and then put enough oil inside this outer layer to wet a cotton ball. Put this cotton ball in the ear once or twice for one day. (from Mexico)
  • Bengay, Cotton Swabs Remedy - Take a cotton swab and smear a small amount of Bengay on it and stick it in the aching ear. (get the odorless kind, it just smells better) Change to a new swab of it every 15-20 minutes. This remedy works well and is an instant pain killer.
  • Extract one teaspoon juice from mango leaves. Slightly warm and use as ear drops for ear infection.
  • For a person who has had (ever) a perforated or punctured eardrum, follow the above procedures without adding drops inside the ear canal to achieve much of the healing and pain relief.
  • People that get a lot of ear infections might actually be allergic to dairy products, egg whites, wheat, peanuts or soy. Or, their intake of fatty foods may be too high.

Common Cold Remedies

Congestion:

For dry and stuffy nose, try normal saline or salt water nasal drops made by adding 1/4 teaspoon of table salt to about 4 ml lukewarm water. Make a fresh solution every few days keeping it in refrigerator. Use a clean dropper to instill one to two drops in each nostril about three to four times daily for common cold.

Do not use medicated nasal drops without physician's consent as excessive use will cause chemical rhinitis with rebound block


Make the following:
  • 5 black pepper seeds
  • 5 cardamoms
  • 5 cloves
  • 5 leaves of basil
  • 5 small pieces of cinnamon
  • Half inch piece of fresh ginger
  • Half spoon of caraway seeds
  • Two tablespoons of honey
  • 5 cups of water

Instructions: Boil all the ingredients in the 5 cups of water till it turns brown and have a hot cup of this mixture every hour to relieve congestion. (From India)

Cold:

  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon powdered ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon cloves
  • One tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • One tablespoon honey (or to taste)
  • Two tablespoons water

Instructions: Mix together and store in small bottle. Take three teaspoons whenever needed.

From Germany/Russia: one shot of any kind of brandy, one whole onion cut into 6 pieces, and a paper bag.  Put onion pieces into paper, bag drink a shot of brandy and inhale into the paper bag for 10 seconds. Throw away the bag, and no more cold.

  • From the USA (not to be outdone by the Russians!) 3/4 cup hot water, 1/2-oneshot whiskey, 1/2-one tablespoon honey, and 1 to 2 lemon.  Mix all ingredients and heat until hot. Sip it while it's still warm at bedtime.
  • A Mexican-Apache Cold Cure:

"My father, Crisosto Pena, a Mexican Apache, believed that chili could cure anything. He said that it was packed full of vitamins and therefore a cure-all, especially for colds.

One day he returned from work and found his wife and five children in bed with the flu. He felt so bad for them that he took out the bag of hot chili pods and soaked them in hot water for 15 minutes. Then he put them into a grinder and ground them with the water they were soaked in. He gave each one of his family members a spoonful with a piece of tortilla. About an hour later the family was moving about. The children were out playing around, and his wife was cooking dinner.

From that day on, I too believe that chili is a cure-all, especially for colds. As a preventive medicine, you can mix the chili with garlic and onions. It not only tastes good, but also keeps colds away.”

Told by I.M. Crisosto Pena, daughter of Crisosto Pena, and the great great granddaughter of Geronimo."


  • At the outset of a cold take plenty of Echinacea.  Do not take for more than five days straight, as the body will acquire a tolerance for Echinacea. For a "guaranteed" remedy:  Mix three ounces of mayonnaise, one ounce of extra virgin olive oil and one teaspoon of white or apple cider vinegar and eat it all six times a day.  According to the person who submitted the remedy, it has never failed for anyone who has used it in over 70 years and you should not have even the slightest ache for the entire day following.
  • Garlic juice made by adding few drops of garlic oil to a teaspoonful of onion juice and diluting it in a cup of water is helpful for common cold
  • GARLIC! GARLIC! GARLIC! Eat about 5 cloves a day when sick and one a day when healthy.......should clear up a chest cold fast, also good for sinuses....friends may not want to be around you for those days, but "hey!...you can get some peace a quiet too! Garlic is a natural antibiotic with none of the side effects....also fights cancer and tumors!
  • Another garlic remedy is made by taking 24 peeled cloves garlic and placing them in a medium-sized jar; and then adding raw honey a little at a time over a couple of days until the jar is full.  Once full, set the jar set it in a sunlit window until the garlic has turned somewhat opaque and the honey tastes strongly of garlic. Take a teaspoon every few hours or whenever necessary.
  • A cup of strong elderberry tea at the onset of upper and/or lower respiratory virus seems to help thwart the virus.  Some report that this is more effective for than echinacea.
  • Vitamin C, Zinc and Chicken Soup – three old standbys that work wonders!
  • Ginger tea or a teaspoonful of ginger juice taken with equal quantity of honey brings relief from common cold
  • Japan - drink a solution of garlic and rice wine. Drink a shot once a day for a couple of days.
  • Mexico - get a pan of water and add one stick of cinnamon, a handful of raisins and one teaspoon of oregano. Boil this solution and then let it cool. Sweeten with honey and add lemon. Drink three times per day for two or three days.
  • Many cold remedies from Mexico are made by mixing various combinations of lemon juice, honey, and garlic juice along with mints, cloves or cinnamon.  Take two or more teaspoons two to three times each day.

Fever

  • Maintaining your fever, rather than breaking it right away, can fight the virus that's making you sick. If you have a mild fever (up to 100 degrees), wrap yourself in a blanket and drink a cup of yarrow tea (Achillea millefolium). Make the tea by steeping two yarrow tea bags or two teaspoons dried yarrow in one cup boiling hot water for 15 minutes. Reheat it until it's piping hot, and sip it slowly. Your temperature may rise or fall a degree as you start to sweat. If your starting temperature is 101 to 103, drink the tea but skip the blanket. Check your temperature every 30 minutes throughout this process. Eventually your temperature should drop. If your starting temperature is 104 or more, or if the tea-drinking brings your temperature to 104 or more, call your doctor, preferably one who is also trained as a naturopathic doctor. Don't do this with babies or children, or if you're pregnant; consult your doctor, preferably one who is also trained as a naturopathic doctor instead.
  • Dry powdered Jell-O, crushed ice.  When children or even adults get the flu and fever, one of the most important things is to keep fluids in the system. Many times a fever will create nausea and no matter what goes in the stomach, it always seems to come back up, with dry heaves or vomiting.  Try this old family remedy. Take some dry powdered Jell-O mix (any flavor) and put it in a mug of crushed ice, Toss it around in the mug, so the powdered Jell-O is all wet from the ice.  Then give the mug and a spoon to the patient with the fever and flu. Let them chew the ice and suck on it at their own pace. The dry Jell-O coagulates in the stomach and helps keep the fluids in.  It also helps keep the patient from vomiting and having dry heaves. Simple and effective.
  • A large onion (cut in half) and two ace bandages.  Using the bandages, tie a half of onion to the bottom of each bare foot. Reported to work every time.  From down south.
  • Tomatoes and vinegar.   Put the vinegar in a plate. Cut tomatoes in slices. Mix in the vinegar and soak for a few minutes.   Put the tomatoes on the bottom of the feet immediately and then put on socks.
