My son is 5 months old and is on his 4th ear infection, the doctor said today that he had yellow fluid with puss behind his eardrum. I don't really like the idea of him having tubes put in so young, and i have heard that the chiro helps with ear infections. Has anyone taken their child/children to the chiro and what are the results???? I kinda know about tubes, but would like to hear good/bad experiances that other moms have had........thanks

I met a lady whose 9 month old daughter had suffered from one ear infection after another since she was 2 months old. I introduced her to a great store that I was shopping from which sells all manor of natural cleaning, laundry, personal care supplies etc and having switched over everything she was using previously, her daughter's ear infections have cleared up. It may sound crazy, but when you think about it, all those chemicals such as bleach, ammonia, the ethyl alcohol in lysol etc have a really bad effect on the air quality in your house. They effect your lungs and respiratory tract and this can lead to fluid build up which can turn into "allergies" and chronic ear infections in infants and toddlers. Having seen first hand the positive effect that using these products have had on this baby,also on my own children (no allergies or eczema anymore) and a couple of other friend's children I am participating in the business opportunity which this store offers so I can help other people create a healthy home for their little ones. If you would like more information you can email me: healthyhomes@ecologyfund.net

my oldest son had a lot of infections when he was a baby. I didn't take him to a chiro, because honestly I didn't know kids could go. He ended up getting tubes in his ears when he was 2. He is going to be 6 in a couple weeks and hasn't had an ear infection since the surgery. Hope this helps.

I am a firm believer in taking your child to the chiro. My son is 12.5 months old. Today is the first tim he was diagnosed with an ear infection, he has been battling a nasty cold for the past week. It was his first bad cold the other one he had last only a few days. I would highly recommend it!!
