• Ease 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.

• Colloidal Silver : Using an eyedropper put one or two droppers of colloidal silver into your ear as you tilt your head to the side. Then gently massage the fleshy part of your ear at the base of its opening so that the silver can run into the ear. Do this 3 or 4 times every 2-3 hours until the pain and infection are gone. It should not take more than 3 or 4 applications.

• 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 (you may heat it up warm if you prefer). Get an eye dropper and make sure you stir the substance up very well. Take the eye dropper and suck up a little solution at a time and put it in the ear. Let it sit for a few seconds and drain it out. After draining it a few times the pain should sub-side. 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)

• Extract one teaspoon juice from mango leaves. Slightly warm and use as ear drops for ear infection.

• Although most ear infections are because of bacteria, some 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.

Just sending you some feedback regarding treatment with your colloidal silver for severe cellulitis with ulceration, which affected both legs from ankles to knees.

I treated myself with your colloidal silver, saline compresses and essential oils. The infection is gone now. Below is what I did.

I initially tried to use 1 tsp daily as directed for 3 days with no effect. I then increased dosage to 1 tablespoon twice a day (morning and night) and developed flu-like symptoms [Herxheimer effect] for 2 days, but continued treatment with colloidal silver.

I also Used hot saline compresses for 30 minutes daily, then gently massaged the affected areas with blend of the following essential oils:
German (Blue)Chamomile – 6 drops
Roman Chamomile – 3 drops
Lavender – 4 drops
Tea Tree – 2 drops

These essential oils are anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial, and German Chamomile is fantastically effective in treating skin ulceration of any kind.

After applying the essential oils to the affected skin, I wore support stockings or wide elastic bandages to aid blood circulation.

The visible improvement started after approximately 48 hours. In 4 days, the ulceration was completely healed, erythema disappeared, swelling was substantially reduced, and the excessive warmth of the affected skin was reduced to normal.

Currently my cellulitis is gone. I reduced usage of colloidal silver to 1 tsp as directed and stopped using saline compresses. Now, I just wear support stockings and apply a blend of Roman Chamomile and Lavender essential oils at night as a preventative measure.

Well, colloidal silver seems to work well regarding cellulitis, so a few minutes ago I ordered another bottle purely for experimental reasons. I want to check if this could be used to kill fungus infections and if it could be used as topical application on infected small wounds, scratches and cuts. Does any of your customers try to use colloidal silver for topical applications? Answer from Ben Taylor: Yes, colloidal silver is commonly used for skin wounds and various other conditions.

Gout is common type of arthritis that occurs when there is too much uric acid (sodium urate) in the blood, tissues, and urine.  Uric acid is the end product of the metabolism of a class of chemicals know as purines.  

In people with gout, the body does not produce enough of the digestive enzyme uricase, which oxidizes relatively insoluble uric acid into a highly soluble compound.  As a result, uric acid accumulates in the blood and tissues and, ultimately, crystallizes.

When it crystallizes, uric acid takes on a shape like that of a needle and, like a needle, it jabs its way into the joints.  It seems to prefer the joint of the big toe, but other joints can be vulnerable a well, including the mid-foot, ankle, knee, wrist, and even the fingers.  Uric acid is more likely to crystallize at lower temperatures, which may explain why roughly 90 percent of gout attacks affect cooler extremities like the big toe.  Acute pain is usually the first symptom.  Then the affected joints become inflamed, almost infected looking-red, swollen, hot, and extremely sensitive to the touch.  Repeated attacks of gout over a long period of time can lead to joint damage.

Uric acid is a byproduct of certain foods, so gout is closely related to diet, especially a rich diet high in sugar and fructose. Obesity and an improper diet increase the risk of developing gout.  Gout has been called the rich man’s disease, since it is associated with too much rich food and alcohol.  But in fact is affects people from all walks of life, most commonly men between the ages of forty and fifty.  It may be inherited or brought on by crash dieting, drinking, certain medications, overeating, stress, surgery, or injury to a joint.  Approximately 90 percent of the people who suffer from gout are male.  Uric acid kidney stones may be related problem.

Here are a few natural remedies to alleviate the symptoms of Gout:

• Essential Fatty Acids in the form of Flax Seed Oil or Omega 3-6-9 .

• Enzymes and Pancreatin aid in digestion and of proteins especially.

• Black Cherry Juice. Drink one 6 oz glass of Black Cherry Juice once or twice a day.

• Black or sour cherries. Cherries seem to work well to prevent gout. Consume 10 or more per day. Cherries are also high in anti-oxidants and good for you in many ways.

• Drink three to four cups of one of these tea's a day: yarrow, dandelion, celery seed to rinse out and neutralize the uric acid. An old time favorite is corn-cob tea! Just get three corn cobs and simmer in four cups of water. Strain and keep in the fridge and then simply heat it and drink after meals.

• Vitamin B Complex . Essential for proper digestion and all bodily enzymes systems.

• Minerals (preferably plant minerals). The foundation and building blocks of all bodily enzymes.

• Never take aspirin for gout! Apply ice and drink lots of water.

• Do not eat any of the following: anchovies, gravy, sardines, cauliflower, mushrooms,

clams, oatmeal, shellfish, spinach, and absolutely no alcohol.

• It is also helpful to limit your intake of caffeine, cauliflower, beans, eggs, oatmeal, peas, spinach, poultry, red meat and yeast products.

• The most important thing one can do is to stay away from processed sugar and fructose foods and drinks; instead drink pure water.

Cold Sores are simply a form of Herpes caused by herpes simplex 1 (HSV-1) related to the virus that causes genital herpes. Herpes zoster is responsible for chickenpox, shingles, mononucleosis, roseola, and even multiple sclerosis.

This virus is difficult to get rid of, remaining dormant in the body until an “outbreak”. Simplex 1 herpes virus generally “hibernate” in or near the joint of the jaw until triggered by fever, a cold, other viral infection, sun or wind exposure, stress, menstruation, depression of the immune system, or even high levels of the amino acid arginine. Even epidermal trauma or rubbing of the lips can trigger a herpes outbreak. Upon this triggering, the virus travel down the nerves to the lips causing a sore. In the case of genital herpes, the virus remains dormant at the base of the spine until also triggered by any of the above factors.

• Colloidal Silver – Apply directly to the sore and take orally.

• Aloe Vera – promotes healing especially in combination with colloidal silver.

• L-Lysine – in a serving of 500 mg twice a day has been know as excellent fighter and preventative for herpes outbreaks, but should not be taken for more than six months at that level.

• Tea Tree Oil. Tea Tree Oil has to be one of the best items to have in your house. Not only does it cure cold sores, but it works great for bad acne and many other things. To get rid of a cold sore, as soon as you feel the tingle, place a dab of the tea tree oil on the sore. (In the morning and night.) And by the third day, it should be gone.

• Vitamin B Complex – used as an immune system booster and also relieves stress.

• Zinc – stimulates the immune system.

• Acidophilus – inhibits pathogenic organisms.

• Primrose Oil – is a great supplement for protection of the cells.

• Calcium and Magnesium – are essential for the relief of stress and of muscle tension.

Any of the above supplements are better absorbed using Bromelain which is a pineapple enzyme that enhances digestive function.

It is also beneficial to eat plenty of raw vegetables, as well as live culture yogurt.
Some herpes may be due to low thyroid function.
