Some people.

This speaks for itself. I really can't add anything . . .

I happened upon your site as I was browsing the net and find your comments about ear candling very prejudicial and very uninformed. As a practitioner of Alternative Medicine and a person who is Experienced in the Ancient Art of Ear Candling, I would like to let you know that I do not LEAD people to believe that the ear wax has been removed. I Actually cut the candle open so they can SEE what has come out of their ears. Since I have been offering this NON-INVASIVE form of treatment I have been told, time and time again, that the amount of wax they had removed from their ears with the ear candling method FAR exceeded the amount which was removed using your recommended method. Have you ever tried it??? Maybe you shouldn't condemn something before actually testing it. I advise you to stop mis-informing people of things you know nothing about.

. . . except to point you all to this excellent article on Quackwatch or this article at The Skeptic's Dictionary.

'Nuff said about candling, hmm?
