EAR INFECTIONS
"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
Cow's 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..."

From: The Walter Family
Keith is a fine example of a "Shaklee Baby." For 15 months
we had been to
the Bethesda Naval Hospital pediatricians, and I had a
private pediatrician in
Reston, Va and none could find any reason for all Keith's
ear and respiratory
problems. He even had ear tubes inserted at 9 months old
with no effect.
In, my quest to find some answers for Keith, I found
Mary Ann and Shaklee.
She was an answer to prayers for us. She put Keith on
Liqui-Lea and Instant
Protein powder.
Within two weeks his skin and hair had changed from
an oily mess to normal.
Within a month he started eating and sleeping on a
normal schedule and his
constant ear
infections just "disappeared" never to be seen again.
This was in June. The
following December, I ran into our private pediatrician
in Toys R Us. He
wanted to know if we found a new doctor since we went
from visiting
him everyday
to not seeing him at all. I told him about Shaklee.
He said "Well, the summer
is always better for children. If he can get through
the fall and winter
then I will believe your vitamins made a difference."
Keith made it through the next 17 falls and winters
without any more ear
infections, or respiratory infections. Keith has not
even had a virus or
infection that lasted more than
48 hours in his life. His immediate recovery and
constant health introduced
us all to Shaklee. We have been a Shaklee family
ever since.
Keith is now 18 years old, attended Harvard U. this
summer under a special
program for Juniors (1000 from around the world are
accepted). He is
graduating Valedictorian from
high school; making plans to attend either Harvard
or Duke; plays varsity
baseball; tutors math for 5 hours every evening
Monday through Thursday. He
saves his weekend for his girlfriend, his family
and church.
We owe his lifetime health to Shaklee. He has only
been to a doctor about 8
times in his last 17 years and that was for stitches,
physicals, and
immunizations and not for illness.
How could a man not be happy and proud of that?
Thank you for any nutrition information that you send.
I am always
interested in the latest research.
Thanks,

Chronic Ear Infections - what to do
Here are some of the many replies I received from the
field to my question
on ear infections. Getting the kids off of or reducing
dairy will help, as
dairy products are
recognized as being problematic for many kids suffering
from chronic ear,
sinus and allergies.
Also, there's a new product on the market called
Opti-Flora. It is available
from Shaklee Corporation at 1-800-VITA LEA or check
your phone book for a
distributor. Opti-Flora is the result of Shaklee's
research into targeted
delivery systems and is the only product of its kind
available that guarantees
live delivery of acidophilus and bifidus to the
intestine. All the others
guarantee live organisms at time of manufacture.
Re-colonizing the gut to maintain
a healthy balance of micro-flora relieves a world of ills.
Allergies, acne, MS, flu, chronic fatigue, maintaining
healthy white cell
counts during chemo therapy, yeast infections--the list
goes on. Opti-Flora
comes as a two part product-the prebiotic powder that
you mix in 4 ounces of
water and the capsule (very small-easy for anyone to
swallow). Pleasant
tasting-kids take it willing.
Needs no refrigeration and can be taken anytime during
the day. Super convenient.

3-21-99 RE: Grandsons' Ear Infections
My 22 month old grandson chews 1 beta carotene everyday
for his ears
(he has had PE tubes twice)
He'll tell you what they are and why he chews them! We
also give him Optiflora (pearl stuffed in a banana and
powder in his juice)
every day. He chews Vita-C 100 mg. (I call it grandmama's
"candy") often and
especially if he sneezes! He really enjoys chewing
lecithin 1 or 2 a day (We've
noticed he talks better than his peers and is very
creative) He chews 1-2
Orange Children's Vita-Lea each day. He had continued
to get ear infections,
even after the last PE tubes. Since we've added Beta
Carotene and Optiflora, he
hasn't had an ear infection. His "milk" is Energizing
Soy Vanilla Drink Mix
in Best Water.

Subj: Ear Infections
I have never seen anything work faster than 1 or 2 Beta
Carotene a day to
prevent, reverse or heal infected ears and/or ear drums.
I didn't have the
advantage of Optiflora with my kids, but you gotta
know about the Beta Carotene.
It works and fast. Of course the C and Vita Lea and
Protein, too. Just
puncture the capsule and squirt it into the child's
mouth; it virtually has no
taste.Then give the child some water to drink.

Subject: Re: Ear infections
My children were having so many ear infections, until
I put them on Protein,
VitaLea and Vit C. Vit C seems to help stop drainage
into the ears (at
least in our case). If the kids looked like they were
heading for trouble, I'd
give them Chewable C, 4x a day. (4 at breakfast, 4 at
lunch, 4 at supper,
and 4 at bedtime --- before brushing teeth. You don't
want the "C" on their
teeth all night. Hope this helps. It got my children
off endless rounds of
antibiotics.
Shaklee has replaced Bata Carotene with CarotoMax,
a multicarotenoid plus
phytonutrient supplement.
