[CAUT] Ear wax

[Paul T Williams]

Thanks, Susan

No transfats as far as I can control it.  I use real butter in cooking. 
(margarine is one molecule away from plastic if you didn't know! yuk)
Almost no high temp fried foods go into my mouth....(sometimes, though 
french fries rule!).

I guess the candle just worked for me.  I'm sure there are folks who had 
no results or bad results.  I was just right for the trial! Omega 3's come 
from fish, which I dearly miss now in the midwest.  The fish at the stores 
usually bites the big one. Nebraska has no natural lakes and the man-made 
reserviors are too warm in the summer to house the stocked fish.  If you 
can't swim in it, I'm not eating anything from it!!  sometimes a Salmon 
arrives at our nicer stores, and I surely get it...still not the same as 
on Whidbey Island, where I could cast off the beach and bring home 2 nice 
Silvers.

Oh well, I think when I retire, I'll go back there and have lots of 
fishing time...

Paul

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.
