We never thought of it.
And even my mom, she had rheumatoid arthritis.
She was in a wheelchair.
Over six years, she went from as I am now to just a cripple in a wheelchair.
But you know what we thought?
They did the best they could.
Still not doubting it.
So after four courses of antibiotics and the earache comes back...
I just thought, no, no, I don't want this.
And I'm so glad that I had that feeling, actually, the feeling of not wanting to give my child any more drugs, not wanting to hurt my child, but not knowing what else to do.
And that really is what triggered me on a journey, a journey of discovery that there is something else.
When I said to the doctor, is my daughter going to be on this for the rest of her life?
He was challenged and he sent me to an ear, nose and throat specialist who looked in her mouth, looked in her ears and said, she's teething, give her these drops to keep these eustachian tubes clear.
That was it.
So when my next child got an earache, I didn't go to the doctor, I didn't tell anyone because you get pressure, but I went to the old lady next door.
So I'm 25, she's 85.
I said, what did your mother do when you had an earache?
Because I thought this is before antibiotics.
She said mum would steam up an onion on the stove.
steamed up the onion, put it on his ear, you know, wrapped in a cloth.
