Blue Power Ear Treatment

INGREDIENTS:

16 Oz. Isopropyl Alcohol (standard 70%)

4 Tablespoons Boric Acid Powder
16 Drops Gentian Violet Solution 1%

sMix together in alcohol bottle and shake well.

As detailed in It's For The Animals! Natural Care & Resources, you will
also need to shake solution every time you use it to disperse the Boric Acid
Powder. Purchase a flexible plastic bottle with the opening at the top so
that the solution may be gently squeezed out and dispense solution to
affected ears . The ideal is a hair-dye bottle available at a pharmacy or
beauty supply store.

TREATMENT PROCEDU

Evaluate condition of ears before treating and if very inflamed and so

do not attempt to pull hair or clean out ear at all. Just flush and then
wait until inflammation has subsided, which will be about two days.

Warm the solution (as instructed above) and shake the bottle each time
before using.

Flood the ear with solution (gently squirt bottle).

Massage gently to the count of 60, wipe with a tissue.

On first treatment: flood the ear twice, wipe with a tissue, and leave alone
without massage.

The dog will shake out the excess, which can be wiped with a tissue.

Note: the Gentian Violet does stain fabrics, etc. so you may want to wear
gloves- more information about this is at www.ItsForTheAnimals.com

The SCHEDULE of treatment is as follows:

Treat 2x per day for the first week to two weeks, depending upon severity
of ears.

After the 2nd or 3rd day you can clean out the ear with a Q-tip or cotton
balls.

Caution: When using a Q-tip, only insert it as far into the ear canal as
you can actually see. Use care to prevent the gunk from falling down into
the ear canal.

Treat 1x per day for the next 1-2 weeks.

Treat 1x per month (or even less frequently, depending on the dog).

Note: All of these ingredients should be available at a pharmacy. More
information may be available updated at www.ItsForTheAnimals.com Users of
the Blue Power Ear Treatment have found that despite the alcohol, the dog
will not object to even the first treatment. More on this is found in the
book, It's For The Animals! Natural Care & Resources. The Boric Acid Powder
soothes the ear. The Gentian Violet Solution is an anti-infection agent, as
it is a dye mixture that acts as a bactericide, fungicide, and anthelmintic
(destroys worms). Remember, gentian violet will stain fur, clothing, etc.
As for the source for Gentian Violet, it, along with all the other
ingredients, should be available at a pharmacy, or may have to be special
ordered. It comes in small bottles, similar to iodine, not at all expensive
and will provide enough to make gallons of the Blue Power Ear Treatment. A
very easy method to make the formula is to poke a hole in the top of the cap
of the bottle of alcohol, add the boric acid, and then the drops of Gentian
Violet.

The Blue Power Ear Treatment as detailed above appears to work well on any
and all ear problems from mites to wax to canker. The success rate for this
treatment is said to be 95-99%. Those who do not succeed have usually not
done the treatment long enough or have not been regular about it. One gal
let me know that her dog's ear problem responded only when the Gentian
Violet was omitted. Dogs on the verge of ear canal surgery have been
returned to normal with only the regular follow-up treatment to keep the ear
healthy. If an infection seems to be remaining in the treated ear after the
above course of treatment, may also be some Pseudomonas bacteria in the
site. This can be eradicated by using a gentle flush of raw apple cider
vinegar and water (warmed). Use 2 Tablespoons of vinegar to one cup of
water, 2 x per week.

They have found the Blue Power Ear Treatment to be effective for treating
fungus-type infections on the feet and elsewhere on the dog, for cuts on
dogs or people, and for hot spots. You may find other uses for this simple
anti-infective agent. Remember it is for external use only and be careful
not to get into the eyes.

For those who find the Blue Power Ear Treatment successful, I have some
suggestions. After your dog's ears are looking normal for a while, it
really would be a good idea to find out what is actually causing the ear
problem. As mentioned in the book, It's For The Animals! Natural Care &
Resources., back when I was feeding commercial feed, my dogs' and cats' ears
had quite a bit of that 'black gunk' in them. More than 20 years ago I'd
been told by my holistic vet, Richard Kearns, DVM, that this was one of the
body's ways of detoxifying itself. Sure enough, after being fed only fresh
foods for a few months, that 'black gunk' virtually disappeared.

Also, it's been my experience, and that of many others, to notice a
favorable improvement in their dog's and cat's ears and overall health, when
the following three supplements are added to the diet. These nutritional
supplements are just added to the food and are excellent for us too! A note
about the following recommended products: there is no financial affiliation
between this author and any company mentioned. The products mentioned are
simply 'tried and true' favorites, which I feel are superior to others for a
variety of reasons.

Blue Power Ear Treatment

INGREDIENTS:

16 Oz. Isopropyl Alcohol (standard 70%)

4 Tablespoons Boric Acid Powder
16 Drops Gentian Violet Solution 1%

Boric acid is ototoxic, i.e. it can cause permanent deafness if it comes in
contact with the middle ear. If a dogs ear drum is ruptured (which is not
uncommon with chronic otitis) then it would not be wise to use this
solution.
