Chronic Perforated eardrum חור בעור התוף

After an ear infection children and also adults can get a perforated ear drum.

This normally heals spontaneously after a shorter or longer time.

Occasionally this does not happen and the drum may be left with a “hole” [“chor”]

The ear may be dry or secreting “constantly” or periodically for years.

In this case, for sure a specialist has to be consulted especially to exclude a “nasty condition”, called cholesteatoma, which may cause destruction of the bones.

There is little to offer for a chronic perforation, except surgery.

The chance exist however that short after the surgery the problem starts all over again and everything was done in vain [le-hevel]

Bacterial cultures of the ear secretion and repeated antibiotics has shown to be of little use.

There is one- seldom used- treatment option which I saw once published in a Chinese journal and which I have advised a couple of times to patients but few patients seem to be prepared to use this method, probably because it takes some time and effort..

Simply: put a bit of crushed garlic every night in a very tiny “bag'” in the ear channel.

The garlic should not touch the skin directly.

The only problem is to make the very tiny miniature bag which a cord/thread connected to it that hangs out of the ear so that the garlic will not disappear in the middle ear. There should also be a thread connected which can close the bag by pulling at it.

This has to be done for longer time.

I am writing this now because today I saw a female patient [now for another problem] who told me that the drum which has been open for longer then 10 years [and an operation was not very succesful] got closed after this treatment.

She was very handy in making these little bags herself [not available in shops!!] which could be closed by pulling on a string and be put safely in the ear channel

If any child or adult has such a condition this lady [and there a few more] is [are] willing to make this little bags [of course for some fee] in case you want to try this treatment and you are not “that handy”.

Sometimes hard to understand why these described methods are not used before anything else.

Therefore I try to be a “missionary” for this neglected part of medicine and join me by spreading these messages.

By the way: there is another extremely dangerous condition [which I have never seen] which also has seem to been treated with success by the Chinese with garlic

The following is copied from the internet for you:copied from the internet for you:
Cryptococcal meningitis is a life-threatening infection that can occur if there has been exposure to a fungus called Cryptococcus neoformans. This fungus is found in the environment worldwide, particularly in soil contaminated with bird droppings.

How is Cryptococcal meningitis treated?

When a person is diagnosed with cryptococcal meningitis, treatment with antifungals begins immediately. These medications are usually given intravenously (directly into the vein). Amphotericin B and fluconazole (Diflucan) are the most common drugs used to treat the infection. Once the infection has been treated, it is recommended that the person remain on one of the these drugs for the rest of their lives to prevent the infection from returning again.

What about the Chinese experience with garlic , i would ask again?

Be healthy!!
