  • "A hole in her eardrum was discovered... luckily her hearing was not affected" ?!?! if you get a hole in your eardrum, your hearing is fucked. The candles cost

    about $10... 1year ago my dad woke up with vertigo, went to hospital - turns out it was from too much earwax. Cost him $250 to get it out. I've used these candles - no burning feeling, and my ears felt less clogged up. I use Qtips carefully and these candles very occasionally

  • @untidaled i am a deep sea diver and have permanant pressure equilization tubes in my tympanic membrane tha keep me from having to equilize.. my hearing is not fucked. i have two permanant holes in them and my hearing is the same as it was before.

  • you can buy them in Canada... most are actually not harmful.

  • If you don't have proof, you are no more credible than those that say the ear candles do work.

  • Why do people call this quakery? Must be those same FDA people who want people dependent on drugs and chemicals rather than alternative hollistic healing methods...people are opening their eyes anyways to deception and turning more to alternative hollistic health...thats why they are talking so much crap about this...

  • Ear candles give a feeling of better clearer hearing. I used them a few times and it definitely helps feel more head-clear.

  • Boy it's great to take up some hollow argument of authority like a club, and use it to attack individuals and their freedom to choose non-invasive, time-honored therapies over cutting-and-drugging-for-dolla­rs. It makes me feel like a superbly rational man-of-science, a Mr. Spock, ready to take on the universe, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to force them to abandon their chosen form of medicine, and force their inhabitants buy expensive and invasive Big Pharma medical treatments.

  • The FDA was convicted of conducting an illegal boiler-room operation to fraudulently discredit chiropractic. This is more of the same malicious, greedy bullshit that we've come to expect from a bloated, corrupt agency that "protects the public" from harmless, non-invasive treatments and time-honored herbal cures, and approves deadly drugs and food additives - with corner-office jobs in the pharma industry awaiting those who do the approving. Enough! Ear candles work, they draw up ORANGE wax.

  • @danthompson1m

    Where does this red-orange wax come from, when you're burning a tube of straw-yellow beeswax, and ear wax is (coincidentally?) the very same hue of red-orange? Hopi ear candles are not Hopi - that is the worst you can say about them - without lying for Big Pharma.

  • @danthompson1m The red-orange "wax" is actually the ash of the paper used to make the ear candles. And don't tell me that there's no paper because wax does not burn by itself. Wax needs some type of wick to burn. Try setting a candle on fire without lighting the wick.

    By the way, wax is not red-orange in color. It's actually straw color to dark amber to black depending on the age.

    Do yourself a favor and get a cheap otoscope. Look in the ear before and after ear candling.

  • @sleazybtd . I am an RN, and I've performed this procedure many times, seen the EAR WAX drawn up (by wicking, I assume, rather than air pressure), and experience the benefits of cleaning out excess wax, and the airborne detritus that accumulates within it. Paper does not create orange ash! Yet you are so knowledgeable and wise, you are able to inform me - over the internet - that my ear wax is NOT the color I foolishly imagine it to be! I am an RN - a trained medical observer.

  • @danthompson1m You're an RN who performs this procedure? In that case, I'm calling you a liar.

    I don't care how trained you are as an observer, you obviously have no clue about how to determine truth. Have you tried the experiments that I mentioned? Did it even occur to you to do them before today. Would you even try them now?

  • @sleazybtd I don't perform this procedure in my professional capacity, though it's not beyond possibility. "Try burning a candle without a wick"? That's an "experiment"? What does that have to do with your assertion that the red/orange wax is beeswax contaminated with gauze ash? Ash is black. How does it become orange? Why is the orange the *exact same hue* as the ear wax I take out (much less efficiently) with a Q-tip? You've never come near an ear candle!

  • @danthompson1m Now that I think about it, you should try the experiments with the following modifications:

    1) Since you're an RN, you might have access to better quality otoscopes. Maybe access to a video otoscope to take pictures of the ear canal before and after the ear candling so that you can objectively see how much ear wax you did or did not take out.

    2) Take a small empty bottle and treat it like an ear. See how much orange "ear wax" you can pull out of an empty bottle.

  • @danthompson1m

    3) Repeat experiment #2, but put a teaspoon of baby powder in the bottle. See how much white powder the ear candle removes or is it still orange?

    4) Repeat, but use cayenne pepper or paprika powder and see how much red powder comes out.

    5) Repeat, but with cinnamon or cocoa mix and see how much brown powder comes out in the candle.

    6) Repeat with black pepper.

    I await your results, but I doubt you would perform these experiments. Your kind doesn't care about truth.

  • @sleazybtd Okay, you're getting a little too snotty for me, bottle-washer. Go fuck yourself.

  • @sleazybtd Have YOU tried these experiments? Would you post and report OBJECTIVELY the results if you did? people are so quick to yell foul without even doing the very tests they accuse others of not doing. *sigh*

  • @jonandra Yes I have. Wasted my money to find out something I already knew.

  • okay for one i live in canada and you can buy them everywhere... wtf are you talking about you quak?!

  • Misleading and bogus video.

    If they are banned in Canada then how was I able to buy them the other day at the grocery store.

  • I tried burning a candle without putting it in my ear, and then one in my ear. The one not in my ear left a light white powdery residue and not much of it. The one in my ear had large amounts of wax.

    The candle creates a mild vacuum effect and warms the ear. It's logic to see how it removes wax. Next you'll tell me how my chiropractor saved me from expensive back surgery.

  • lol these actually do work, i have done it myself and it removes large amounts of wax

  • This vid is as serious as the music in the background.

  • best way to remove earwax, as per my experience: 6.5% Carbamide Peroxide oil + small irrigator. tilt head, drip oil in ear, wait 15 minutes then flush with warm water. repeat several times, maybe over a week. doctors have always said i've got massive amounts of wax in my ear, one week ago my right eardrum got covered and i couldn't hear. i used the above method and flushed out 2 balls that were each almost the size of a housefly. now my other ear sounds inadequate as i've not cleaned it yet :P

  • This video is a WASTE OF TIME. The person who made it needs to know that ear candling should not be done if the person has holes in their ears. The person performing the candling should have been informed that patient had holes. This just sounds like a simpleton story of people that made a mistake and now gives someone a reason to make a video about it. Do some research!

  • @celestialstarchild. Homeopathy is as easy to disprove as it gets, all the independent and double-blinded research is easily available. Know what double-blinded means? Oh I nearly forgot, you need only look back within the last decade at homeopaths' attempted treatment of malaria and the return of measles since the anti-vaccers spread lies about an invented and disproved link to autism to see that the whole thing actually costs lives. Grow up space cadet.

  • @celestialstarchild. The pharmaceutical business has its share of charlatans and dishonesty but its almost perfect system of peer review and data sharing and rigorous testing weeds them out and always seeks truth. For a big concentration of quacks, delusion, liars, fools, criminals and confidence tricksters, I'm afraid you need look no further than your local new age fair or alternative practice.

  • @celestialstarchild. So, not a fan of pencillin, organ transplants, blood transfusion, infant birth defect surgery, eradication of smallpox? Your distrust of 'big pharma' is based on hearsay, exaggeration and ignorance. And why don't you look into the companies behind 'complementary' medicine, you'll be surprised - big companies, some of them are the same ones you hate. But that'll probably involve too much reading of people that know what they're talking about and doesn't use your third eye.

  • Comment removed

  • @gmx1100. What you have said is very foolish. 'All I know is...' almost always precedes a nonsensical statement made despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Why don't you research more and stop believing nonsense? I know the answer, because people can't be reasoned out of a position they didn't reason themselves into. And some people seem drawn to all things bullshit. I think how people instantly react when they first hear the term 'ear candling' is a good guide for gullibility.

    Try rea

  • I've been using ear candles for years....all i know is, they make your ears feel great. Every one I know who has ever used them, say their ears feel "deep cleaned" afterward.

  • i was expecting to see a candle made of earwax

  • i net the guy who made this video is the president of Q-tip

  • ear candling really works, ive had it performed on me at least several times, and ive never had any problems

  • meh, i used to candle my ears all the time, now i just go through a bunch of q-tips

  • Avoid the candles try using oils And drops made for ears and then lay on your side with a heating pad under your ear for a few hours. This always works for me and I've always had a wax problem bad enough to be treated by a doctor.

  • Comment removed

  • it doesnt work i just did one in my air and yeah there was shit in it when i cut it open and then i burnt one without sticking it in my ear and sure enough the same shit was still in the candle ..its a joke ..dont waste your money!!!!

  • I just did both ears with the candles, It removed a bunch of ear wax..I can hear much better.

  • great story.. where are the facts? names? dates?

  • @swatregret

    check the description retard

    maybe you have to clean wax - candle wax out of your ears

  • @swatregret this video tells the truth, there's a show called Dr. Oz on tv that explained it all. these stupid things are about as useless as those kinoke foot pads...

  • @breakdancingzombies THOSE however are good if your feet sweat alot at night.

  • @CyberDragonZero hahahaha they make me feel good until i learned that they were fake, i think it is supposed to be a psychological thing

  • @breakdancingzombies You trust the crap on TV? I've been doing this for years and it works great.

  • @QuantumCurrent no i dont trust tv, i trust Dr. Oz

  • @QuantumCurrent and its a terrible way to clear ear wax and there are much more easier/safer ways of doing this

  • @breakdancingzombies Do you know how much time doctors are given in school to learn about natural remedies and nutrition? 1 week!

    If you know anything about ear candling, which I've been doing for years, you could see that the the woman demonstrating the ear candles and Dr. Oz himself clearly knew nothing of this simple, safe, and effective process.

    It's sad that most people believe everything they see on TV

  • @QuantumCurrent and i love how people like you just spit out false facts to try to make yourself look smart on the internet, guess what. i really dont give a shit of what you say b/c your nothing but a internet troll and the more people fight with you the more fueled you get, the better you feel, so go ahead and feed on my last comment as much as you can b/c this is the last you will get from me

  • @swatregret go burn one without putting it in your ear and you'll get the same waxy shit that supposedly comes from your ear. bottom line is they DONT extract ANY ear wax.

  • @pac21989 Did you try doing that? I did and the results were totally different. Before you make a bold comment like this, first come from experience.

  • @QuantumCurrent yes i absolutely did with many different brands. there are many videos proving this as well. this is TOTALLY BOGUS. sorry to let you know. if that much wax was to come out of an ear you would of had a serious problem and probably would of been deaf.

  • @QuantumCurrent its usually a placebo affect as well. people think they work wonders but its really all in their head. i also have checked my ear with one of those ear microscopes before and after and their was no difference.

  • @pac21989 How would this be considered a placebo?

    

  • @ozzieman4404 because since the ear candle is not actually doing anything for your ear and people usually say their ear feels so much better but in reality its just their imagination. i see it all the time.

  • @pac21989  You see what you want to see, and are arrogant enough to tell people that your prejudice trumps their experience.

  • @danthompson1m w/e. its medically proven as well. check it out for yourself. good day

  • @swatregret do you want a citation page too? how about an annotated bibliography...maybe he should throw in all the copyright holders info too

  • @UniversalHere that would be nice, thanks

  • Same principle as finding a quarter in someone's ear trick. lol

  • If a type of "alternative medicine" works there's a name for it. "Medicine".

    "Homeopathy" is also a total scam. Do not waste your money on made-up shit.

  • @websdaleandrew for any problem I ever had Homeopathy is the one thing that has never failed me and has always worked on my animals also!

  • @NuclearNympho Well, we should report you to Animal Control!

  • @madtonesbr maybe we should report you to Animal Control.

  • @websdaleandrew it works you dumbass i've seen it done... if you had a fucking hole in your eardrum you'd be deaf retard

  • @SpazedGamer no you wouldnt coz ive got holes in my ear

  • @TheBadboy226 i have holes in my ears too

  • @websdaleandrew Yeah because taking drug after drug and getting surgery for everything under the sun actually works. Western medicine is a joke. Its profit and greed. Homeopathy is prevention medicine so you DONT end up taking drugs for one thing and another for the side effects it causes.

  • @websdaleandrew Just because you haven't personally had benefits from homeopathy and have perhaps been taken in by scammers does not mean that all homeopathy is a scam anymore than saying that all western doctors are quacks who are just being paid Big Pharma to get you hooked on pharmaceuticals. There are good doctors in every type of medicine. You have to do your due diligence to find them and buyer be ware in every industry.

  • @heathbar210 I must challenge you. Homeopathy is a total and utter scam. The dilutions of the most expensive/'best' homeopath(et)ic tinctures contain zero molecules of the stated ingredient. Even though it's obvious they can't work, when tests have been conducted, NO homeopathic remedy has EVER been shown to be better than an inert placebo, (except, of course, in fraudulent tests by homeopaths ;P ).

  • @websdaleandrew Cut and drug. Use tax-funded agencies to suppress time-honored natural cures and individual health freedom. Wrap your prejudice and hostility in the mantle of "science" and "rationalism" while refusing to research empirically, and while offering hollow arguments of authority - or simply juvenile name-calling. As you do. It doesn't matter. People are waking up and discovering, empirically, what works for them.

  • Ear candles ARE NOT banned in Canada. With a false fact right at the beginning of your video, it makes any further claims you make,suspect.

  • @ahachie Are they banned to be sold though?

    The video didn't say they are banned from Canada

  • @fcdog555 No, you can buy them at the pharmacy, or the local healthfood shop.

  • @ahachie hmm yeah I just saw two sources online that say you are wrong:p

  • @fcdog555 I just purchased some from Hoopers Pharmacy in Toronto, 3 weeks ago. First hand sources, are more accurate than an online article.

  • @ahachie why would you waste your money on it.

    but then I admit I am wrong btw

  • @fcdog555 My mother saw them, when we were in the store, and bought them. They are in my closet, gathering dust.

  • @ahachie ah I see.

    Do mind doing an experiment?

    Please burn one upright without putting it in an hear to show that the "wax" inside is from the candle, not the ear.

    Or maybe I am wrong hah

  • Great video!
