Watch 03/10: PSA - DO NOT USE EAR CANDLES

UPDATE:
For some reason this video has been getting more attention lately. For all the crazy people that think that the "man" is putting down the ear candle so that people will buy real medicine... um.... You're crazy! Who do you think publishes the books about how alternative medicine is being suppressed? The people selling the crap to you! It is the same on both sides. Don't act like the alternative medicine people don't have an agenda too. They are getting rich off of selling you wax paper! I am not defending the pharmaceuticals either, they are a bunch of crooks too. But please listen to yourself, you're saying that the pharmaceuticals are putting down alternative medicine so that pharmaceuticals can get rich, but isn't alternative medicine slamming pharmaceuticals so they will not take away business from alternative medicine?

Quote from About.com:
"One study published in the journal Laryngoscope evaluated the efficacy and safety of ear candles. The researchers concluded that ear candles did not produce a vacuum. This small preliminary study with eight ears showed that ear candling didn't result in the removal of ear wax from the ear canal and even caused candle wax to be deposited in some ears."

Man, did you ever even try ear candles? Or are you are just repeating stuff you read on the internet? I've been using ear candles for years. They make your ears feel great!

@jessi1971 The theory behind ear candling is that it creates a vacuum which sucks out earwax. The problem though is that ear candles do not produce any vacuum. Additionally, most people do not have that much wax in their ear. Impacted wax is very rare and the symptoms include frequent ear infections. People who experience any comfort from this procedure are simply due to the "placebo effect" - you think it will work, so it does. The wax found inside comes from the candle, not the ears.

get a hair cut

[jessi1971]

Its been proven by ppl that nnever tried it them selves. The stuff of the same color of the paper isnt wax, but the yellow yucky stuff that goes with it that the texture is hard to feel and when it squishes its waxy. So u r right on one point the white stuff isnt wax its the candle and ppl that call it a hoax has never had it in their EAR. But could be dangerous if u dont no what your doin
