But guess what, it's worked. No more ear infections for DD.
I always found it intriguing that some families are more prone to ear infections than others. I'm sure a doctor has a simple explanation.

When I grew up and with 5 siblings, ear infections were extremely rare amongst us all. If I ever had one then, I was too young to remember. I don't remember anything earlier than age 4.

Because I'm the eldest, I had dim memory of memorable illnesses among siblings. Ear infections were incredibly rare amongst us. Same with cold sores around the mouth. My mother had a Chinese herbal soup for mouth sores inside the mouth. Whether or not it was a placebo effect, or what, but it helped us. (even it didn't taste great. We were obedient kids..)

Not that all naturopathic treatments work.
