Product Description
Ear infections are still the leading reason parents take their child to a doctor. To combat infections, parents and doctors employ arsenals of antihistamines and antibiotics, and too quickly resort to ear tubes and surgery. In this updated and revised second edition of his bestselling Childhood Ear Infections, Dr. Michael Schmidt describes the current controversy in medical journals questioning existing treatments for chronic earaches.

Whether your child has had one ear infection or twelve, I recommend this book to any parent who is leary of taking the conventional path through rounds of antibiotics and the prospect of surgery to implant tubes or remove adenoids. In fact, I recommend that all new parents read this book in preparation for what the medical advice will be if their child does present with symptoms of an ear infection, what they can do to prevent this, and what natural remedies to have on hand in case it does.
This book also does a great job of explaining the difference between acute ear infections and chronic ones. You can identify the seriousness of your child’s issues and start getting at the root cause. Surprisingly, most chronic ear infections can be traced back to food allergies. It all starts with the gut!
For a truly holistic perspective on how you as a parent can take charge of your child’s total health, even beginning prior to conception, I highly recommend Healing Our Children: Because Your New Baby Matters! Sacred Wisdom for Preconception, Pregnancy, Birth and Parenting (ages 0-6) by Ramiel Nagel. You will be astounded at the difference that you can make in your child’s life by taking full responsibility for his well-being…on every level: body, mind and spirit.

OK, I do not do reviews that often. But, this book needed one!! My son had 4 double ear infections between 3-5 months of age. We met with the ear doctor on 5/7. She said he needed tubes asap b/c of some hearing loss due to the fluid in his ears. We set the surgery for tubes up for 5/15.
I got the book that afternoon and read it on the 7th and 8th. I scheduled an appointment for the doctor and I to sit down and talk on the 9th b/c I decided that maybe tubes was not the answer….yet. After meeting, the doctor was still set on tubes. I thought about it over the weekend and on Monday 5/12 I cancelled the appointment for the 16th. It is now the 23rd and the fluid has gone away in one ear completely and the other still has fluid but it has only been a few weeks.
This book not only tells different things to do to alleviate the problems it also tells you the risks involved. The doctor did not tell us these things and when I brought them up, she downplayed them. Two of the risks were weakening of the eardrum in up to 40% (I think) of the patients which could lead to ear drum rupture later in life. My husband had had 3 ruptured ear drum incidents and he had tubes as a child. Hmmmmmm. The other was issues with scar tissue hardening around the incision. I don’t know if I am explaining that right. I don’t have the book in front of me. Anyway - they were serious issues.
So, I am having his ears monitored for 4-8 weeks and if they don’t get better, I will have the tubes put in. But, one is better already.
READ THE BOOK BEFORE YOU PLAN THE SURGERY!!!!!

This book was just what I was looking for! My son was battling repeated ear infections and I knew there had to be other options than antibiotics and ear tubes. I am so glad I read this before we progressed to surgery. I am now an active homeopathic user, and my son has been earache free for months!
I thank the author for presenting all the options available.

This book reviews many different alternative medicines and therapies for healing ear infections. It covers the over all health and nutritional needs of children and how they relate to the healing process of ear infections. The homeopahtic information was a bit generic and left me needing more information on which medicines to choose from. Over all I found it to be a very good book.
