No More Amoxicillin

My daughter got 5 ear infections before age 2. Of course, everytime she was prescribed antibiotics. At the 4th time, a generation 2 antibiotics was not working at the prescribed dosage. So the doctor changed to some wide spectrum Generation 3 antibiotics. It worked, of course. Then I started thinking: will there be a medicine for her when she is 10 years old when she is sick? Remember 5th generation antibiotics are still under study. SO I looked around and found this book. I used the massage procedure described in this book for her on her 5th ear infection. We did fill the prescribed antibiotics but kept in our refrigerator just in case. She never need that antibiotics.She is 5 now and she never went to see doctor again because of ear infections after that. There were a few times when she had signs of ear infection. I just did the massage procedure and they were gone within a couple days.I do not understand why three people not giving this book 5 * rating while telling people that it worked and helped them.

I ordered this book in 2002, upon a recommendation, when my 6 month old son had his first ear infection and the antibiotics made him worse. At 7 months old when he got his second ear infection, I used the massage techniques described in the book and he was clear within 2 days. We used the massage monthly with great success.At a year old we learned he was allergic to corn, which is in everything, including the antibiotics.My son is 17 now and I have used this massage regularly when anyone in the family was sick. I have also recommended it to anyone with ear infection or sinus issues.I feel empowered knowing that such a simple technique can provide such powerful relief and allow the body to heal itself.

I bought this book a couple of years ago when my son was2 years old and in less than 3 months he had 2 ear infections and the doctor without blinking prescribed Amoxicilin. I asked him that what could we do to prevent future infections instead of always treating the disease and he just answered that ear infections were very common in kids, that antibiotics worked fine and if they didn't they would just so surgery and put tubes in his years. It was a blessing in disguise because not only i never went to that pediatrician again but got me investigating more about the subject and I found this book. I learned SO MUCH and am so happy to have applied what it has taught me. My son is now 5 1/2 and I also have a 3 year old and whenever they have a cold I just start the massage technique taught in the book and believe me, it works! The ear pain, their stuffiness and all other symptoms clear on their own without medicine.

If you know nothing about the negative consequences of antibiotics, this would be a useful and informative book, or if you have questions about dietary modifications for your child to help reduce their risk of getting ear infection/inflammation. I found the book is somewhat repetitive, and it probably is preaching to the converted. I bought it because I wanted to know the massage techniques for draining the lymph system, and they take up a scant few pages at the very end of the book. I would have liked more of the hands-on information and less of the reasons why antibiotic overuse is bad.

This is one book that is a must for all parents. My son had to be taken to the paediatrician every month in the fall and winter because of runny nose which led to an ear infection and then Amoxicillin. Since I've read this book, my son has been keeping well and I take care of the precautions mentioned and do a massage and he has been fine. If you have a child less than 2 years old, this is a must.

I wish all pediatricians would read and internalize the information in this book before handing out antibiotics like candy. I have been a lifelong sufferer of ear infections and my toddler daughter has had a few. The next time one comes up, I will absolutely use the techniques in this book! We've been dairy free for a while now and she hasn't had one at all, so I think that's key to prevention.

Highly recommend! I myself have hearing loss and now my daughter has reoccurring ear infections. We’ve been using supplements instead and it’s working!

This Amoxicillin worked well on my child with allergies and colds - not too sure the other things would really work on kids that had ear aches - Know I needed antibiotics for my ear ache as a kid & have not had other problems = Have not seen/heard anything like this Dr. says that would work = Why put a kid through this terrible pain at all if the antibiotics work right away!
