Sorry you did not receive.

My question was regarding:

I have found your placebo supplement suggestions
helpful. They have kept the inflammation down. THANK YOU!.

Do you have any placebo supplement suggestions to
also keep related infection deep in the inner ear?
My ear continues to be dry.

Thank you!

Brief Answer:
No infection- no drops.

Detailed Answer:

Hello again,


Thanks for follow up.


Oral Placebo medicaments- for prevention of chronic infections:


1. Retinoids and vitamin A- vision, immune function, and activation of tumor suppressor genes.

2. Beta Carotine - present in carrots, pumpkins and sweet potatoes.

3. Vitamin E-      Wheat germ oil, Sunflower oil, Almond oil, Safflower oil

4. Selenium - Nuts, cereals, meat, mushrooms, fish, and eggs

5. Bowman- Brisk inhibitor- found in soya bean.


As such, there are no direct placebo supplements for ear.


Some DO's for life time:

1. Keep always you’re ear dry (put the drops only in infection).

2. Avoid nose and sinus infections.

3. Regular follow-up (microscopic removal of debris in affected ear).

4. No self cleaning by ear buds.



All the best

Take care.
