Thank you Asiyah I appreciate you sharing your experience. I will share this with my wife she still has a hard time believing this can be true. I have read a lot about the negatives about dairy and saw my breathing clear up after 3 days of stopping 11 months ago. I have reduced her consumption but has not been eliminated, now she had 3 ear infections in the last 6 months the other 2 were quickly controlled. Is a shame people and children suffer due to the world run on money and not for health. My son is like DR. Jekyl and Mr Hyde and I am sure it has to due with dairy to (maybe wheat also). I have notice when ever he consumes dairy that day he has fits and goes crazy. I can tell my wife that it is the end of dairy (and maybe I will have to) but I rather we make this decision together I want us to be together not divided. My daughter is super sweet and will cut out the dairy (she is 5) if I say it is bad for her my son will be a bit harder but we make the final decisions as parents.
Thank you

Ear infections are the worst! Sorry your daughter has to go through that pain. Healing touch is amazing! If one of you can sit with her and read a book or meditate or take a nap, it really helps. Once my daughter had an ear infection for 6 weeks with me trying everything I knew and I finally took her to the chinese doctor and he gave us this awful tea that tasted like mud and it was gone within a few hours!

It's great your wife is seeing the cause and effect of dairy consumption with your help. So many people never do, even when someone points it out. So many people are really suffering health wise that I know and when I tell them I know of people who have healed and that there is a way out through nutrition they don't seem to believe me, they seem to think that it can't be that simple.

The other remedies I have used with success for ear infection is: garlic, cut a clove in half and stick it in the ear; hot water compresses; gargling with salt; pau d' arco/La Pacha drops ingested instead of antibiotics; consuming lots of fresh squeezed organic orange juice , it really seems to provide relief instantaneously.

Sending Metta to your sweet family! :)

Thanks for the advice Ednshell,
She is starting to see we receive such a brain washing that even when the changes happen we still have a hard time believing. But part of the problem is finding easy substitutes that they will eat (my wife and I work, thats why she likes yogurt giving them yogurt the morning, they also have gltuten free cereal and almond milk. They eat a lot of fruits but never enough to satiate and look for other things because they were brought up this way and my wife is not 811 although I am (about 11 months). Its time now to completely eliminate dairy and see the changes

It's kind of exciting when one parent puts their foot down about something. About 2 years ago, I made an announcement that we were throwing out everything cooked, it was so fun, my 3 kids and husband watched as I put about $200 worth of food into a tote and locked it in my car, they knew I was on fire, that is I had the chi energy in the room. ;) The next morning I called a friend and dropped it off at her house. My husband has done the same about other things. It is exciting and we usually get behind the one who takes charge like that. So good luck! :)

Hi Mikey,

Don't have direct advice to offer, because what you and Asiyah have said cover it. Dairy could well be the culprit and even if it wasn't it is not good food for kids for so many reasons, which you're obviously aware of. It is difficult when parents see dietary things differently.

You haven't failed your daughter, there have to be compromises if your wife and you see things from a different page, or book even. I remind myself sometimes, when getting a bit concerned, that I am the product of a fairly unhealthy upbringing and yet survived, maybe not perfect but despite this one can change oneself.

I was thinking of suggesting healing, then you wrote that you did this :-) It is so powerful, I've used it on our son sometimes and it can be so miraculous that I almost think it must be coincidence. Without sounding too religious, which I'm not, prayer can be great in altering things in one's life, maybe that your wife should understand why you believe what you do and change can happen in that way - not, I hasten to add, an attempt to manipulate her opinion against her will.

Regarding homeopathy for future reference, I have never had any joy with homeopathy until recently and believe it is because I was prescribed a remedy by someone who actually knew what they were doing and specified for me, not just a generic one cure fits all. I'm in the UK and it was a (govenment/NHS) dentist who said I needed antibiotics and pain killers for an extreme toothache, I told her I was reluctant to do so (despite the fact I felt like pulling my head off!) and she offered me homeopathy, cut a long story short 40 mins later the pain just disappeared and 48 hrs later the infection was gone. So, could be worth finding a good homeopath in your area for any future needs, one who is familiar with prescribing for children.

As a final note, I should continue with the healing, for effects of antibiotics etc as you've obviously got the touch.

I read the 3 books for quantum touch,
It is quite amazing we have the ability to channel energy (like in the movie avatar). It is a very simple process you dont even have to believe just do the simple technique of breathing and visualizing the energy going through you (I can give more detail if you would like). As I practice I feel I am getting stronger at it. I have changed the taste of wine quite easily many times (never drink it though), cured headaches, used it to put my kids to sleep, on small injuries. The problem is I tend to stop before I should as in the case with my daughter I should have went longer even though she fell asleep.
thanks for the reply

Thanks Chris,
Did your kids have Dairy growing up? I suspect this is one of the big ones because of all the mucus production and messing up your sinuses. I agree with all the other stuff causing a weak immune system and aware of the studies unfortunately after they have received many of the vaccinations already. Emotionally is good. I am looking at air quality we live in montreal so started closing windows and the air is not as good, also have carpets in the house. Turning on our exchanger to bring fresh air in

Thanks for the reply and info Chris. Talked to my wife and we will eliminate the dairy. Will also look into other things (like full spectrum light bulbs and the such)

Hopefully eliminating dairy is all you need to do! I can attest to the differences between my first two children and the rest of my children. The first two were vaxed and drank milk (and SAD, etc). The rest were not vaxed, no dairy, vegan, etc. The differences were night and day.

BUT because ear infections *do* happen I wanted to tell you what I have used for 12+ years now with great success (with 8 children there are bound to be infections along the line somewhere) - this is with my own children and all those who have actually tried my suggestion.

Garlic oil OR Garlic Mullien oil ... chop fresh garlic, heat some olive oil **only heat, do not boil or make bubbles in any way**, remove from heat, toss in garlic and mullein leaves, if you have it, allow to sit for awhile.
The first dose the properties will not be as strong as when you let it sit there overnight but you can drop the oil, that has been filtered of any plant materials, into the ear canal as soon as it is cool enough (but still very warm as the warmth helps alleviate pain). Store in a bottle in the fridge.

When ready to use again, heat up in the hand or in warm water before dripping into ear.
I usually used 3 to 4 doses over a couple of days and after that all was well. A friend had a child with a really bad infection and she used 3-4 doses each day for 3-4 days to make sure it was all gone.

Great thing about this is garlic works on viruses as well as bacteria! And since most ear infections are viral, this is great, as antibiotics do not work on viral infections (I repeat this often as it took YEARS before my husband finally got this, so I try to educate where I can).

Garlic obviously works on the infection itself. Mullein works on helping the eustachian tubes to open so that the ears drain properly. The olive oil has infection fighting properties as well as helps to alleviate pain and is a great carrier oil that fully absorbs in the ear.

Thanks really appreciate this,
I heard that alot of time it is viral and the antibiotics does nothing.
Though She seems better on the antibiotics now that we started it should we continue and if things don't get better try what you suggest or just go ahead and try it. I heard of grape seed extract as well what are your thoughts.
Did you also notice any behavioral changes when cutting out the dairy.
Thanks
