Imagine the mainstream medical people putting it on TV that ear candling is silly and dangerous and wrong to do! But thats exactly what I heard on TVO.org a couple days ago.
They were saying just leave the ear wax, it works out on its own, which is good advice as long as everything is working normally, but in this world of toxins and strange illnesses, its not allways working normally.
They suggest seeing your doctor and they will use that big syringe "with tap water" [quoted about the tap water].
My personal experience with that advice was this: an old doc in a clinic had trouble putting the big syringe together, and then he 'blasted' my ear with it instead of proceeding carefully. [He seemed crabby at my complaints]. IT CAME APART and the end flew into my ear and my ear was BLEEDING from somewhere and there was a sudden sharp pain. Unbelieveably, he wanted to continue. I squirmed away from him, not wanting to get 'tap water' in a fresh wound in the ear, either the syringe or the water could have 'biologicals' in them, potentially straight into the bloodstream. The blood dripped down my face and I grabbed a kleenex to hold over the area as I walked into the waiting room - I had to ask the receptionist about some test, then I left the building. The blood was coming from up inside the ear somwhere. It healed up, the ear was still clogged up. I never went back there...
If only we could say some things about their drugs....and their basic apporach of covering up symtoms instead of tackling the causes of diseases. Or even just get a competancy requirement for the older and the strangest doctors.
I would like to try candling, I am sure its effective and not dangerous if done with a half-brain. Its wrong for these guys to try and make it seem wrong to do, as if al anceint therapies are dumb and bad - they are proven good and usefull over time, something pharmaceuticals do not seem to understand very well!!
