Ear Infections and Organic Living

In a recent news release doctors have stated that ear infections no longer need antibiotics; they will go away on their own in time...and after much pain. I grew up have many ear infections. I came to love the pink flavored medicine. What is irking me about this "new developement" is that this is all to reduce the amount of antibiotics chuldren consume so they will not become immune. Th poblem doesn't come from too many ear infections, it is coming from the meat and dairy prodcts children are consuming. The animals that bring you your milk, eggs, and hamburgers are daily dosed with antibiotics and other drugs to a) keep them from getting sick and b) make them produce more. It is these drugs that are harming our children and making them immune to antibiotics. My child only gets organic milk and all natural cage free eggs. If she ate cheese, I would get that organic also. Much of the foods she eats is either all natural or organic. I unfortunatly don't live anywhere near a Whole Foods or Wild Oats store so it is vertually immpossible to get organic or all natural freash meat products. I believe that regular store bought food is poisoning our children and us. It should become manditory to make every food product organic or all natural since most of these products our very expensive. Right now I can really only afford to get these food items for Sophia, hopfully soon we will be able to afford healthly, organic and all natural food for the whole family,
