Benny, 4: A Painful Ear Infection; on Day 5 the Pus Came Out and the Pressure Was Released, No Antibiotics

A little 4-year-old boy, Benny, ended up with an earache. It was painful and uncomfortable. His mother took him to the doctor, who said it was a bacterial infection. The usual prescription would be an antibiotic and perhaps baby aspirin for the fever, but this wise mother, supported by the grandmother, decided to take the herbal route.

She put drops of Silver Guard into his ears about every 2 hours. She gave him Ultimate Echinacea liquid and VSC liquid mixed with honey in a dropper every few hours, Rosehips as Dr. Christopher recommended, and chewable Vitamin C.

Benny got sick on a Wednesday. On Sunday, October 1, the 5th day, the email came: "Benny felt a bit better yesterday and now large chunks of pus are coming out of his ears. The pressure in his ears now seems to be released." As Donna puts it, the body was given enough energy to push the infection out of the ear.
