Red Light Therapy for Swimmer's Ear The Wozi (Charlotte, NC) on 06/11/2026
My kiddos tend to get swimmers ear at least once in the summer, usually in swim team season. We have tried many remedies, but recently tried red light directly pressed against the ear. This resolved the swimmers ear by the next day! Nothing else has had such a rapid resolution of symptoms. Hooga brand has a $40 one on amazon thats pretty good.
Lysine + for Swimmer's Ear Dena Lewis (New Orleans, Louisiana) on 01/06/2026
If you have swimmer ear or an ear infection take Lysine 1000mg supplements for three weeks. Stop and take oil of oregano P73 for three weeks. Drink a probiotic drink like Kumbucha that you get cold from the grocery store to replace your good gut bacteria from taking the oregano oil. Do this until it clears. Also go to an ENT doctor and let them flush your ears with a hydrogen peroxide and warm water solution. Don’t flush your own ears because it can damage the ear. You should notice less ear wax production and your ears will clear.
White Vinegar, Rubbing Alcohol for Swimmer's Ear Jane (Austin, Tx) on 10/07/2009
My daughter has a tendency to get swimmer's ear. Her pediatrician gave us a very simple remedy that his grandmother used. Every time your child (or you) swim, put drops of a solution made from 50/50 white vinegar/rubbing alcohol immediately after you get out of water. We have never had another bout of swimmer's ear since following this routine. (go to drug store and buy an ear drying solution for swimmer's ears, empty and clean, and replace with the vinegar/rubbing alcohol solution - advise from our ped. so you don't confuse what is in the container).

Yes, ice cream, cheese, milk and even unsweetened yogurt all cause me to have sinus infections--even raw goat milk. The raw goats milk was the least innocuous. There are times when none of these bothers me. At one time, about four years ago, if I drank milk (yes, even raw) I would choke on a huge volume of white mucus. I discovered that if your spleen isn't working properly milk can cause a huge mucus buildup. I went to work on my spleen and, lo and behold, I could drink milk once more without any ill effects. I also learned that allergies and sensitivities to foods are related to how much of that substance is stored in our bodies, and certain deficiencies (vitamin, mineral or enzyme) deficiencies we may have. Some allergies may be overcome within seconds of taking the substance you are lacking. For instance 'swimmer's ear' can be 'cured' by taking the EFA'S that person is lacking. Swimmer's ear usually occurs on a hot sunny day when one has been out too long in the sun and gotten a burn, effectively burning up precious EFA's. So, I think this may help people understand why they may be sensitive to a substance at one moment, and not another, or why two people may eat the same food, but only one becomes sick.
