[Infection or inflammation of the middle ear. Seventy-five
percent of children experience at least one episode of otitis media by their
third birthday. Almost half of these children will have three or more ear
infections during their first 3 years. It is estimated that medical costs and
lost wages because of otitis media amount to $5 billion a year in the United
States.]
Antibiotics for ear infections [Antibiotics
and autism] [2008] Antibiotics and
Autism By Kent Heckenlively, Esq. prior to the development of
autism, many of our children had multiple ear infections, which were then
treated with antibiotics. Many parents believe the antibiotic treatment in some
way set the stage for their child’s autism. I know that my own daughter had
several ear infections in her first year of life which were treated with
antibiotics.
[2005] Could one of the most widely
prescribed antibiotics amoxicillin/clavulanate "augmentin" be a risk factor for
autism?
These children were found to have a mean number 9.96 bouts of
otitis media (with a standard error of the mean of +/-1.83). This represents a
sum total for all 206 children of 2052 bouts of otitis media. These children
received a mean number of 12.04 courses of antibiotics (standard error of the
mean of +/-.125). The sum total number of courses of antibiotics given to all
206 children was 2480.

Quotes The vaccine activates the baby's brain microglia (called
priming). Then, shortly after this, let's say the child develops an ear
infection (otitis media). The ear infection once again activates the baby's
immune microglia, but this time the activation is greatly aggravated because of
the previous vaccine-induced priming, resulting in a seizure or even sudden
death. The pediatrician will blame it on the ear infection, not the previous
vaccine.
Vaccine Safety Manual by Neil Z. Miller. Preface
" 'Were it not for ear infections, most of us fleas in primary care
would be out of a job. To be more precise, were it not for fear of ear
infections, most of us fleas in primary care would be out of a job.......Even
in the presence of the definitive study on the subject, Flea figures his
colleagues will continue poking holes in tympanic membranes for a long time to
come. What's more (and here's where Flea's colleagues threaten to beat him with
blunt objects), ear infections pay the bills.
Consciously or unconsciously, fleas
will continue to take good care of our hot little bête noire. After all, she's
been good to us.' No doubt
parents in the rest of the world, will be kept thoroughly in the dark about that
nasty piece of truth.....An article on his website is worth reading when it
comes to the differences in clinical practice in 1904, and 2004. Whereas in
1904, a baby whose teething gums weren’t cut
open by the doctor was likely to “die”… in 2004, treating ear infections
with antibiotics, now replaces the lunacy of 1904."------[2008

"A young Australian lady, living in England, organized one of my many
seminars there and told me that her father told her "go to Viera's seminars and do
not vaccinate your children. All those ear infections, and problems like glue ear,
are caused by vaccination". When I asked her who is her father, she said
"he is an ENT specialist in Brisbane, Australia". --Viera Scheibner
"Dr. H.H.
Fudenberg, world-renowned immunologist with hundreds of publications to his
credit, made the following comments: “One vaccine decreases cell-mediated
immunity by 50%, two vaccines by 70%…all triple vaccines (MMR, DTaP) markedly
impair cell-mediated immunity, which predisposes to recurrent viral infections,
especially otitis media, as well as yeast and fungi infections.”--Harold E. Buttram, MD; Susan Kreider, RN; Alan R. Yurko
"BCG is a goldmine for ear, nose and throat specialists."--Dr Jean Elmiger MD
"At least half of all U.S children have had otitis media by their first
birthday. By age 6 90% have had them. This condition accounts for 26 million visits to
physicians every year. In addition, about 1 million children have tubes inserted in their
ears every year, at a cost of $1000/operation. Thus $1 billion is spent each year on this
operation. Just imagine what it means if this is all, or mostly all, caused by the
pertussis vaccine. This particular "glue ear" type of otitis was not known in
American medical practice before the late 1940's or early 1950's -- in other words, the
time when the pertussis vaccine was being introduced."--Harris Coulter Ph.D.
"The role of vaccines, particularly the whole-cell pertussis (whooping
cough) vaccine can be understood when it is realised that this vaccine contains a variable
and uncontrollable amount of endotoxin that is injected and absorbed, unaltered, into the
blood. It does not even go first to the liver where attempts to detoxify it could be made.
If an infant happens to be particularly sensitive to endotoxin when the vaccine is
injected, brain damage or death can result....It should be now apparent that any infant
with gastrointestinal problems - abnormal organisms, intestinal parasites, loose bowel
motions resulting from the use of antibiotics, and malabsorption of food (including
lactose intolerance) - is liable, when further stressed, to produce endotoxin and this can
end in a SIDS....If the Vitamin C status of an infant is borderline, the
administration of a vaccine, particularly (but not only) pertussis vaccine, can result in
endotoxaemia. This results in a severe reaction to the vaccine, a tremendous increase in
the need for Vitamin C, and the precipitation of some of the signs and/or symptoms of
acute scurvy. The onset of this may be so rapid that the classical signs of scurvy may be
absent. Sudden death, sudden unconsciousness, sudden shock or sudden spontaneous bruising
and haemorrhage (including brain and retinal haemorrhages) may occur. Haemorrhage and
bruising in such cases can be wrongly attributed to the ‘battered baby
syndrome’."---Dr
Kalokerinos MD (Medical Pioneer of the 20th century p186
"A ‘cold’, a viral infection, or anything that disturbs immune
responses can result in subtle changes in the gram negative bacterial flora of the the
gut, stimulating them to produce endotoxin. This is absorbed into the blood stream, not
adequately detoxified, and results in inflammatory responses in the mucous membrane
linings of the middle ear............ that endotoxin is the initial cause of the
inflammatory response in acute otitis media............ Dr Robert Reisinger in America had first alerted me to this group of
substances and their relationship to SIDS......The reason why proper
breast-feeding provides a known and large amount of protection against otitis media
becomes obvious. Breast-feeding tends to prevent the overgrowth of abnormal forms of
intestinal organisms that tend, under certain conditions, to produce
endotoxin........Finally, there are two substances that are known to be effective as rapid
detoxifiers of endotoxin - Vitamin C and erythromycin -they are both in
‘Archie’s triple injection’. The relationship between SIDS, sudden
unexplained shock, sudden unexplained unconsciousness, and otitis media is worthy of
consideration. If endotoxin is the ‘cause’ of otitis and also the
‘cause’ of SIDS, sudden unexplained unconsciousness and unexplained shock —
as I now know (at least there is a association), then otitis media should be found in a
significant number of SIDS cases. That this is so is clearly demonstrated in a number of
reported studies. "---Dr Kalokerinos MD

Convincing studies demonstrate significant protection during breastfeeding against
diarrhoea, respiratory tract infections, otitis media, bacteraemia,
bacterial meningitis, botulism, urinary tract infections and necrotizing enterocolitis.
There is also good evidence for enhanced protection for years after the termination of
breastfeeding against Haemophilus influenzae type b infections, otitis media, diarrhoea,
respiratory tract infections and wheezing bronchitis. In some reports breastfeeding has
also improved vaccine responses. Several studies show that milk may actively stimulate the
immune system of the offspring via transfer of anti-idiotypic antibodies and lymphocytes.
This may explain why breastfeeding diminishes the risk of developing coeliac disease. Some
investigations suggest that there may also be a similar effect on allergic diseases and
autoimmune diseases, as well as inflammatory bowel diseases and certain tumours. This
needs to be confirmed.
