Ear candling is dangerous and is of no therapeutic benefit. Every year I see patients with canals full of wax and burnt auricles due to candling in my ENT practice. I have seen one patient lose their entire eardrum due to molten wax. The brown wax you see has been analysed to be smoke-stained paraffin wax NOT earwax.
Easy. He follows the scientific method, which states we never "have to try" anything that's been tested by many people and agreed in whole by communities we trust.
And anyway, if you understood the scientific method, you'd understand that personal experience counts for exactly ZERO.
@mikey3697398 Wow. That's...brilliant. Yes, sometimes people are just plain gross and don't clean their ears properly. That's true. There are definitely people who just produce more wax than others though. Sometimes q-tips alone won't clean ears well enough. (Btw, Otolaryngologists don't recommend using q-tips. Nor do they advise using ear candles.)
I do this all the time and i have tested it a few times and it works fine. IF you fall asleep or arent careful then yes, you could burn yourself.
The wax is on the outside of the candle, not on the inside. When I do it, there is yellow powder (which looks like custard powder) in the candle at the end. This doesnt come from the candle. There is never any black wax or black soot that this guy talks about.
I dont feel any different afterwards, but what else could the yellow powder be.
@carriemoulden I just tried ear candles for the first time tonight. After doing my ears, I burned one without it being inserted in my ear, and it filled up with the same custard powder substance that you describe, just like the ones in my ear did. That stuff definately DOES come from the candle. The biggest difference I can tell from the ear candle procedure is that it made my wallet get thinner.
Yeah this Shaun dude is an idiot! Buzzy is right! I've ear candled over 200 different people in my time and NO ONE, I repeat NO ONE has EVER had BLACK stuff come out of their ears! Including a Canadian coal miner! This is B/S... there are MANY benefits. Shaun just had too much build-up in his ears he couldn't hear what they were! LOL
@userfriendly1377 Way to prove your anti-science stance. Can you show me some genuine scientific studies demonstrating that ear candling is actually effective? Of course not, it is entirely placebo. It does NOTHING to help any medical problem whatsoever. Just because you're gullible enough to believe in it doesn't make it valid. With the slightest understanding of how medical practices are tested, you'd realize it's possible to get lots of people to believe any useless practice is effective.
Dr. Shaun has obviously NOT witnessed someone actually being ear candled! The stuff that comes out is NOT black, it is a different color, which I will not say, because if he had actually seen it, he would know what color it is. He may have looked at the research and he may strongly advise against it, but he is NOT informed "properly" and he is NOT open-minded! Just my humble opinion.
@TheBuzzy7 Being open minded does not mean blindly believing in any nonsense. If you truly had an open mind, you'd do the test he proposed. Get someone to do an ear candle, and also burn about five of them outside of an ear. Have this happen in a room away from you, then have someone bring the burnt candles to you, and see if you can tell which is the one that was in an ear. I doubt, however, that you'll ever test it. You don't want to know the truth, you just want to be right.
@compactdisk2 You are picking a fight with the wrong momma! I will take your challenge, however those candles are fairly expensive. Seven kids, one income, may take me awhile! O BTW, you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free. Since you don't know me, you don't know what kind of truth I'm seeking. So don't go spouting your nonsense, babe! Buzzy
he cant talk if he never tried it.

How can this doctor comment on something which he has never tried himself..... ??!!
If he was really open minded like he claims he would have at least done the ear candling once before the show.
