We observed that malignant external otitis (MEO), a severe infection of the outer ear often found in elderly patients with uncontrolled diabetes, can significantly impair the body's defense mechanisms. In a notable case, a 58-year-old man struggling with MEO had faced months of ineffective treatments.
To delve deeper, we tested the function of his immune cells, specifically his polymorphonuclear neutrophil leukocytes (PMNs), which play a crucial role in fighting infections. Our findings revealed that his PMNs had difficulty migrating to the site of infection, a critical step for addressing such health issues.
We discovered that ascorbic acid, commonly known as vitamin C, could improve this migration defect in laboratory tests. In practical terms, after just one month of vitamin C treatment, the patient's chemotaxis results normalized, and remarkably, his ear lesions began to heal.
Even though the exact reasons for the PMN dysfunction remain unclear, possibly due to factors like age and diabetes, this case highlights the importance of assessing PMN function in MEO patients and suggests that immunomodulators like vitamin C might offer a valuable treatment pathway.

We explored the effects of vitamin C, alongside other antioxidants, in the treatment of ear infections in children, particularly focusing on middle ear inflammation. The study aimed to determine if these antioxidants could significantly enhance recovery from what can be quite painful and distressing conditions like purulent inflammation of the middle ear.
Through the trial, we combined ascorbic acid with retinol and alpha-tocopherol as part of a combined treatment approach. The results were promising, showing a high response rate in children suffering from these infections. This suggests that vitamin C and the other antioxidants may play a beneficial role in supporting the healing process.
Overall, the findings indicate that incorporating antioxidants like vitamin C into treatment regimens could potentially improve outcomes for young patients dealing with ear infections. While further research is necessary to confirm these benefits definitively, the initial results are encouraging and highlight an interesting avenue for more effective treatments.

We evaluated the effects of a herbal compound that includes Vitamin C, among other ingredients, on recurrent upper respiratory tract infections in children. The study involved 37 kids suffering from conditions like pharyngotonsillitis and otitis media. The children received a treatment called Imoviral® Junior, which is a blend of Echinacea angustifolia, Arabinogalactan, Beta-Glucan, and Zinc, alongside Vitamin C.
Results showed that before treatment, children had an average of 3 inflammatory episodes over six months, which dropped to just 1. After completing the treatment, 77% of the children reported fewer episodes of inflammation. Additionally, their quality of life scores improved significantly. Importantly, there were no reported side effects from using this herbal compound, indicating a safe alternative for managing these conditions.
While this study demonstrates promising outcomes regarding the frequency of ear infections with the use of Vitamin C as part of an herbal blend, we should note that it does not provide specific insights into Vitamin C's individual role on its own. Considering that other compounds were also involved, isolating the effects of Vitamin C alone remains a challenge.

Solved recurring infections

My wife and I had a persistent problem with yeast infections, especially when trying for children. I sought advice from five doctors who concluded there was nothing wrong with me, only a pH imbalance. Knowing cranberry juice can alleviate urinary tract infections, I decided to try these pills. After two weeks of taking three each morning, our issue was resolved! No more infections, and I continue to take them daily.

Quick UTI cure

AMAZING! I had a UTI for three months and tried multiple rounds of antibiotics to no effect. Out of desperation, I purchased D-Mannose and Nature's Bounty Cranberry soft gels. Within 24 hours of taking them, I was free from discomfort and tested negative for the infection. I only wish I'd discovered this sooner to avoid my prolonged suffering. D-Mannose, combined with the cranberry pills, worked wonders for me!

No more bladder infections

Since I started taking two a day seven years ago, I have not had any bladder infections whatsoever! If pregnant women used these, they might avoid the cycle of UTI, antibiotics, and yeast infections altogether. I even give these to my dog since she once had an infection. Gel Caps are the best—pleasant to taste, even if bitten.

Improved life quality

During college, I dealt with recurring UTIs, one episode severe enough to cause blood in my urine. I followed all recommended practices but sometimes forgot. I began taking these daily in May 2012 and haven't had a UTI in two years. As someone with lupus prone to infections, this significant improvement is remarkable. These pills have made my sexual health and overall wellbeing so much better.

Effective UTI prevention

I have suffered from severe UTIs for years, often triggered by not drinking enough water. After researching natural remedies to prevent these infections, I found cranberry pills. They cleared up my UTI within days, and now I take three daily. If I feel one coming on, an extra dose effectively prevents it. These pills have been lifesavers.
