🧠 What if the ears… aren't about ears at all?

In the ORL section of ChiccoProtocol™, we trace the entire course of vagal pathways – from the outer ear canal to deep skin lesions, furunculosis, hyperkeratosis, diarrhea, and even neurological tremors.

ORL ChiccoProtocol™ – Minor Drainage Circuit    

The Hypersensitive Ear as a Self-Regulating Drainage Model

In standard veterinary practice, repeated ear inflammation often leads to recommendations for flushing or surgical intervention.

However, in a hypersensitive organism, such procedures can result in permanent nervous system disruption, collapse, or autonomic imbalance.

Chicco never had actual ear problems.

Yet for years, under veterinary supervision, I applied the recommended ear drops.

Today I know – it was not necessary.

Ears

Throughout the entire treatment period, there was no inflammation and no secondary colonization in the ears.

Still, the ears remained tense, prone to swelling, as part of overall head tension.

Gradually, a drainage process activated – starting with small discharges, later progressing to release from the inner ear canal structures – all without flushing or anesthesia.

Due to the ear's hypersensitivity, relief reflexes in the jaw and mandible could be activated by gentle palpation or touch.

This sensitivity became a regulatory switch.

🧠 Context: Hypersensitive organism vs. fast-track veterinary protocols

With a hypersensitive dog who has gone through a collapse, every intervention becomes part of a larger puzzle – every drug, drop, touch, or manipulation must be carefully considered. Even what seems like a minor issue, such as eye or ear discharge, leaves no room for "trial-and-error" solutions without knowing the full history.

At one point, when the dog was already stabilized and under close observation, my husband – with good intentions – decided to visit the vet without prior consultation. He came back with ear drops. Without knowing the history, without examining the animal in its natural environment, and without data on previous therapies.

And although the intention was selfless, this moment illustrates just how easily an intervention can be made that fails to respect the delicate balance the body has taken weeks or even months to restore.

This is not about blame. It's about a system that allows treatment to be given without a deeper understanding of the case – something that is simply unacceptable in the context of a hypersensitive organism.

Shift in Approach – and the Body's First Signal 

No drops. No manipulation. Just observation. 

And the body used that space.

The ears were left untouched – but not unattended.

For the first time, Chicco asked for contact. A gentle, respectful one.

I used only a moistened gauze. No pressure, no forcing.

The process happened on his request, several times a day – even at night, if needed. For weeks.

What came out were tiny grains – like lymphatic sand – slowly and gradually released.

His ears changed color, surface, texture – sometimes looking worse than before I began the gentle cleansing with moistened gauze.

But the dog stayed calm. He breathed. He accepted touch. He didn't try to run.

That was my only criterion.

Later, a green discharge appeared.

In a standard protocol, that would trigger an ear flush or surgical intervention –

but in Chicco's case, I did nothing.

Why?

Because flushing is like dropping a nuclear bomb on a cockroach:

It kills everything around it, but the problem – it survives, hides, gets sealed in.

And the structure of the body is never the same again.

This is the core analogy behind Chicco's skin treatment.

Intervention is often an illusion of control.

But if you let the body lead – it finds its way.

Slowly, but with purpose.

Clinical observation

It took five months for the body to reach safe drainage on its own. The ear reacted to every stimulus—temperature, touch, and environmental shifts. The drainage rhythm shifted within minutes to hours, cycling from clear to yellow to greenish-brown. Each had its own meaning and phase. The ear was the first place where Chicco signaled an impending neurovegetative collapse—something I didn't understand at the time.

Drainage could only occur

in an environment of trust and gentleness—Chicco developed his own almost ritualized process. Once I understood the ear's drainage mechanism, I could gradually apply it to the whole body. And it worked.

ORL Visuals – ChiccoProtocol™ 

The following photos are not illustrative. They are not anonymized. They are real, documented images from home care of a hypersensitive dog—arranged by progression, traceable via metadata, and archived in full chronology.

But not everything will be shown.

Not everything can be shared without compromising dignity.

Full documentation, including the more sensitive phases of drainage, is available upon request – for professionals or educational purposes.

What you will see here is the core of the ChiccoProtocol™:

• that the dog's body chose the right time to release,
• that respect and patience proved stronger than invasive treatment,
• that self-regulation is real – and visible.

Critical Interconnection

The entire region of the head, ears, and nose is functionally connected

to the digestive and lymphatic systems.

In one acute phase, an intuitive release of the nasal fissure

triggered a chain reaction –

resulting in the restoration of intestinal peristalsis.

This confirmed the functional link between the central nervous system,

digestion, and drainage points located on the head.

A standard veterinary protocol would likely include: 

• corticosteroids or antibiotics.
• MRI to rule out neurological causes,
• suspicion of otitis interna/externa,
• swab sampling and cytology,
• ear flushing under sedation,

However, applying standard treatment would likely interrupt the natural drainage and the symptom cycle.
