Greetings Gary, If I read the thread right, Noel, who first mentioned UTI's coming from the ears, corrected herself...
http://escribe.com/health/thesilverlist/m47712.html http://escribe.com/health/thesilverlist/m47715.html ... though it's not entirely clear what she meant to say. We have heard here quite a few times of the benefits of dilute hydrogen peroxide ear washes. The assertion, as I understand it, is that the ear canal and/or inner ear sometimes incubate infections, and the peroxide oxygenates the area, by both direct contact and diffusion, presumably. If you consider virii and prions in addition to bacteria, it might be reasonable to expect some benefit from the procedure. I've tried it quite a few times and it seems to reduce the duration and severity of URI's, even preventing them, if caught early enough, and reduces congestion and sneezing from allergies. But of course that is all subjective, without control. Keep your science and medical training handy, but don't be surprised by what you will hear here in the hinterlands of alt-med. Some of it is ignorance, some hype... and some is real. It's often hard to tell which is which!
