Ear Infections

EAR INFECTIONS

Ear infections are not normal.  I live in the south, and many pediatricians accept several ear infections a year as part of the norm.  An ear infection and multiple infections are not typical.  They are typical though in infants and toddlers that are drinking dairy from cow's milk. 

Ear infections are a serious issue.  They can cause SEVERE delays in speech and auditory processing.  The child hears their world like they are under water.  They can also cause eye turns, balance issues and learning issues later in life. 

"Milk allergies are very common in children... They are the leading cause of the chronic ear infections that plague up to 40% of all children under the age of six."

Julian Whitaker, M.D., "Health & Healing," October, 1998, Volume 8, No. 10

"Cow's milk allergy is associated with recurrent otitis media (ear infection) during childhood."

Acta Otolaryngol 1999;119(8)

"Breastfeeding protects US infants against the development of diarrhea and ear infection."

Pediatrics 1997 Jun;99(6):E5

"If a bottlefed baby has an ear infection, eliminate milk and dairy products from the child's diet for thirty days to see if any benefits result...a cause of frequent ear infections in children is food allergies."

James Balch, MD, "Prescription for Nutritional Healing" ISBN 0-89529-727-2

"Concerning ear infections, You just don't see this painful condition among infants and children who aren't getting cow's milk into their systems."

William Northrup, M.D., Natural Health July, 94

Cows milk has become a point of controversy among doctors and nutritionists. There was a time when it was considered very desirable, but research has forced us to rethink this recommendation... dairy products contribute to a surprising number of health problems (including) chronic ear problems..."  Benjamin Spock, M.D., "Child Care," 7th Edition
