Tea Tree Oil is toxic and enhances 'leaky cell' as reported by Dr. Larrian Gillespie. Just take some Caprylic Acid, and flush out your ears with over-the-counter hydrogen peroxide and/or use ear candling, lighted hollow tubes that suck out ear debris. I find that some ear issues are responding to Lysine, a cheap antiviral amino acid found in courn, so stay off chocolate which contains Arginine, a pro-viral amino acid. Take some Caprylic Acid to whack back Candida, and take Biotin regularly to stop Candida proliferation. Heal 'leaky gut' from Antibiotic use with R-Alpha Lipoic Acid, available online. God bless!
