so there’s one thing that you absolutely need to  avoid if you get an ear infection i’m primarily  

talking about your children if they develop an ear  infection they must avoid this one thing but let’s  

first talk about what this infection is another  name for it is otitis media the word media comes  

from the word middle because you have an external  part of your ear then you have a middle ear then  

you have the inner ear okay these infections  originate from the middle part of the ear  

which i have in my nice diagram right here there’s  a small tube which is about an inch and a half  

that connects the inner ear to the back of your  throat and normally it’s collapsed but it’s there  

for several reasons number one to prevent mucus  from your back of your throat back up into the ear  

and because it has a little uh valve  there and it’s also there to help equalize  

pressure so let’s say for example you’re  in a plane and there’s pressure building up  

you can swallow and it helps to equalize the  pressure you can also yawn and do the same thing  

and it also has another function of helping you  drain mucous if there’s mucus in the inner ear  

it can help drain into the back of the  throat so it can actually work both ways  

now there’s several things that can increase the  risk of getting an ear infection number one is  

smoking or being around secondhand smoke infection  now as far as an infection goes 92 percent of the  

cases are bacteria and 70 of the cases are viral  related so you can see that there’s a combination  

of both viruses and bacteria and one of the  problems that i see is as soon as a child gets  

an ear infection a lot of times the parents run to  get an antibiotic and sometimes doctors continue  

to give these antibiotics over and over and over  and then this child develops antibiotic resistance  

and that becomes a huge problem and so a lot of  doctors now are not recommending antibiotics right  

from the get-go they just give it three days  and sometimes it gets resolved but there is a  

significant risk from the allergy the most  common allergy which is cow’s milk allergy  

and so if your child is prone to your infections  or they have an ear infection get them off milk  

and milk products immediately it’s probably the  number one trigger in developing ear infections  

because if you have an allergy to milk you’re  going to generate a lot of mucus that can back  

right up into this little station tube which  is the connection between the back the throat  

and the inner ear so there’s also a couple  other things you can do and by the way there’s  

absolutely zero research on this but it works  i’ve seen it work over and over and over again  

just use a drop of colloidal silver you can drop  it right into the ear it creates no side effects  

and it’s very anti-bacterial and anti-viral  and you can do this several times a day and  

also a drop of garlic oil works very well and  you can mix it in some olive oil and dilute it  

in this take one drop put into the ear let it soak  down in there it’s very antiviral antibacterial  

and then number three and this is very important  avoid milk and milk products and i would also  

avoid all sugars and one last point xylitol which  is an alternative type of sugar it’s a sugar  

alcohol which has the ability to decrease risk of  getting ear infections so as a sugar substitute  

for children xylitol would be a good thing women  that breastfeed their children dramatically  

decrease the risk of getting ear infections  all right there you go and thanks for watching  

before you go if you have a question about a  product or you’re new to keto and you want to  

know how to begin keto or you’re on keto and you  need a debug because it’s not going as smooth  

i have a keto consultant standing  by to help you this is just for the  

people in the u.s hopefully in the future  we’ll be able to answer everyone’s call  

but i put the number down below  so you can call and get some help
