Ear infections, like most other infections are a result of a depressed immune system. Ear infections, most common in young children, have a very direct correlation with food allergies, primarily dairy (cow’s milk products). Many parents find that putting tubes in their child’s ears either does nothing at all, or helps minimally. Obviously, this remedy does not address the problem. Prolonged and extensive use of antibiotics only lead to further immune suppression, as over one-half of the immune system is located in the digestive tract, in the form of the “healthy” bacteria. Probiotics and a thorough nutritional examination by a trained kinesiologist can help place a patient on the right track to rebuilding the immune system.
