The doc (in > the early 50's) had my mom doing this several times a day. Depending on what exactly you mean by 'full strength', this could be very dangerous advice. Putting 'full strength' 3% store bought peroxide is fine, but putting 'sull strength' 35% food grade could seriously damage the inner ear. Personally, I would only use food grade, which has been diluted to 3-5% for the ear. At this strength, it is an excellent way to cleanse the ear, but shouldn't be done very often, as it will strip the NECESSARY ear wax from the wall resulting in CHRONIC ear infections/problems. CS mixed with aloe and/or vegetable glycerin would be a much better 'regular use' treatment. -- Charles Marcus -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
