Hi, Paul

The bottom line as I read the various sides of the argument is that ear 
candling helps some people, possibly harms others, and is ineffective 
for some others.

I've read something else -- if you take the right omega 3 oils (like 
krill oil) and stop eating transfats (margarine, food fried at high 
temperature, seed oils) the wax doesn't cake up so it doesn't stay in 
there. There are other benefits to improving the kind of fats one eats 
anyway, so why not? Natural (not artificial hydrogenated) saturated fats 
(butter, eggs, suet, etc.) are not the problem. Seed oils harden up 
because they oxidize too easily. Transfats are already oxidized. They 
injure the insides of the arteries, so the liver sends cholesterol as a 
kind of bandage to heal them. == plaque.

YMMV.

This really does belong on the PTG hearing list. <hearing at ptg.org>
You can sign up at the PTG website, just like for pianotech and CAUT.
