My Hearing Condition ,Please read this

[Jeannie Grassi]

What can I say, Phil.  If you believe all this, then I won't tell you the
other ways I stay healthy.  My friend, Steve Brady, first told me about ear
candling years ago and he also swears by it.  I guess you can believe what
you want.  I try to pick my "medicine" carefully and the people who I let
take care of my health.  Usually medical doctors fall last on the list,
after my acupuncturist, chiropractor, and massage therapist.  I guess you
can stick with what you read, or you can try it for yourself.\

Good luck,
jeannie
