ear infections

I hadn't had an ear infection since 1989 with me on the swimming and diving team in high school, too. I've always been a pool rat. I got an ear infection this past summer that I didn't get rid of for 2 weeks. I went to the minute clinic, my primary care physician and an urgent care in total throughout that 2 weeks of hell. It was truly horrible, so I feel your pain. I wish you a speedy recovery and relief.

The article is about children and chiropractic care, but it goes for adults as well.

Before yet another round of "maybe-they'll-work-and-maybe-they-won't" antibiotics or the drastic step of surgery, more parents are considering chiropractic to help children with chronic ear infections. Dr. Joan Fallon, a chiropractor who practices in Yonkers, New York, has published research showing that, after receiving a series of chiropractic adjustments, nearly 80 percent of the children treated were free of ear infections for at least the six-month period following their initial visits (a period that also included maintenance treatments every four to six weeks).

"Chiropractic mobilizes drainage of the ear in children, and if they can continue to drain without a buildup of fluid and subsequent infection, they build up their own antibodies and recover more quickly," explains Dr. Fallon. She'd like to see her pilot study used as a basis for larger-scale trials of chiropractic as a therapeutic modality for otitis media.

The published research is a joke.... Unless the chiroquacker can manipulate the Eustachian tube I highly doubt there is much they can offer for an ear infection. An example today I saw at my clinic office was a gentleman who had his achilles tendon rupture after a podiatrist injected a steroid in that region, that earned him a reconstruction of his achilles and 12 months of rehab.

HAHA, you're so silly. Everyone with half a brain knows you cant manipulate the Eustachian tube unless you break the Tympanic membrane. However, you can adjust atlas and if you know anatomy you know it lies around the level of the Eustachian tube in the Nasopharynyx.

If atlas or axis shifts even slightly that may place pressure onto the tissue around the opening of the Eustachian tube. The result way be an ear infection.

And if you are going to try to insult me at least get the name correct. Its Quacker-Practor.

Might be the dummy out of line here...but when is the last time you had any plain ole simple test done to your body?

Blood pressure....etc......that is a telling sign and all.

Get some simple, easy test, and go from there instead of fricking da fvck out.

Had a failed root canal misdiagnosed as an ear infection by a US Navy Hospital Corpsman a few years back (quasi-nurse, kind of). Eardrum was red and painful, no tooth pain (no nerve left). Took some time to get that one sorted out. I would recommend seeing one of them thar official "Ducktors", getting an qualified professional diagnosis, and then exploring your treatment optoins. But hey, that's just me.

    • From what I gather, sure it allows you more room in that you can manipulate the cap more due to smaller prorated amounts to fit salaries in, but for cap purposes, you're still on the hook for the money at the end of the day.    "ChatGPT You said: What are the advantages for NFL teams to sign larger signing bonuses? ChatGPT said: NFL teams often use large signing bonuses as a strategic tool in contracts. While they cost real cash up front, they offer several advantages, especially when it comes to salary cap management, player retention, and negotiation leverage. Here's a breakdown of the benefits: ✅ 1. Salary Cap Flexibility Signing bonuses are prorated over the life of the contract (up to 5 years) for salary cap purposes. This allows teams to spread out the cap hit, even if the player receives the money immediately. Example: A $20M signing bonus on a 4-year deal counts only $5M/year against the cap. ✅ 2. Attracting Top Talent Players love signing bonuses because they're guaranteed money paid up front. Offering a bigger signing bonus can sweeten the deal without inflating yearly salaries. ✅ 3. Front-Loading Real Cash, Not Cap Teams with strong cash flow can pay big bonuses now while minimizing the immediate cap hit. Useful for teams trying to build around rookie QB contracts or with flexible cash budgets. ✅ 4. Locking in Key Players Larger bonuses make it harder for a player to be released early due to dead cap consequences. This can create more job security for the player and roster continuity for the team. ✅ 5. Leverage in Restructures Big signing bonuses create future cap hits via proration. Teams can later restructure deals (e.g., convert salary to bonus) to create even more cap space. ✅ 6. Competitive Edge In free agency, a team offering more guaranteed cash up front often wins the bidding war, even if the total contract value is lower than another team's. ⚠️ Key Caveat: Large signing bonuses increase dead cap risk if the player is cut or traded early."   I think that roster bonuses can be a useful tool if you're trying to keep players in by manipulating numbers and spreading the hit over time, but I don't think that it's something that you want to use unless it's "necessary." I don't know that you want to get into signing rookies on roster bonuses, as the bust rate is relatively high.    
    • not even if that team in New Orleans disbands before the first game.  Saw one 2026 mock that had them drafting first next year.  
    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
