5.0 out of 5 stars No More Ear Infections--It Worked For Us!, April 19, 2000

This review is from: No More Antibiotics: Preventing and Treating Ear and Respiratory Infections the Natural Way (Paperback)

In this slim volume, Dr. Block not only explains what is wrong with the current system of antibiotic overuse for recurring ear infections, but also gives clear and concise steps for relieving and preventing ear infections in kids. Dr. Block gives nutritional guidelines, but more revolutionary is her osteopathic manipulation treatment--quick and easy massage movements to stimulate the child's own immune system and drain the fluids from the child's ears.

It seems so easy that it is hard to believe that these simple massages would have any effect. But, indeed, it really works. The times our child was on antibiotics, the ear infections went away and then came back quickly, with a vengeance. Since buying this book and using the techniques, our child has been infection-free and antibiotic-free.

Dr. Block is a genius and she's had experience with her own kids' terrible ear infections. This motivated her to come up with alternative techiques for curing ear infections. Now our children can benefit from her experience and expertise. Try it. Her advice is really effective, and all it costs you is the price of this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars This really works!, September 8, 2004

This review is from: No More Antibiotics: Preventing and Treating Ear and Respiratory Infections the Natural Way (Paperback)

My son had over 8 ear infections from 9mths to the age of 2. Since we were able to tell that he had an ear infection and antibiotics worked, my pediatrician did not recommend tubes. We starting investigating alternatives to antibiotics after the last round killed the good bacteria in his GI tract and he had to go on other medication to clear that up.

We perform the massage suggested in the book once a day on him. (twice if he has a cold) It takes less than 5 minutes. My son hasn't had an ear infection in 1.5 years. He still gets colds and some times allergies, but they no longer cause ear infections.

I would recommend this book to everyone!

Really interesting information in this book. Not a big antibiotics fan so thought I'd try this book and a lot of it really makes sense. Hva had this book for a few years now and have to say a lot of it works--kids haven't been to the Dr for any respiratory/ear infection problems for quite awhile now.
