Marshall, 

Is the snake oil still out in the market?  Where did you buy it?

EAR ACHE:
Coconut oil with a few drops of lavander oil is so effective for ear 
infections.  Put a few drops of the mix into the ear.  Plug entrance of ear 
with cotton to keep the oil from oozing out.  I've applied this on kids and 
overnight it is gone.
