Don't do what I did. I treated a mild middle ear infection in my husband with mullein/olive oil. No garlic. I should have used 2-3 drops but thought "if some is good, more is better" and used about 6 drops twice daily. After a period of about 2 weeks, he began losing hearing in one ear. He went to the doctor who then sent him to a specialist. It seems the gunk I was putting in there CAUSED a fungal infection. It seems I was putting in so much that it had nowhere to drain. It just sat in his ear and grew stuff. I don't know if adding garlic to the equation would solve this, but my advice is to just use 2-3 drops if you use it. It needs somewhere to go once it's in there for awhile. Samm -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
