Perhaps some folks had more than one problem. In that case the sum
would be different.
My doctor's have told me to leave my ear wax alone unless it's
causing some kind of problem. It's supposed to be there. That seems
sensible to me.
How does this procedure relate to "beauty?"
Do we have any statistics on the number of ear candlers who are
addicted to drugs or alcohol, or massage therapists, or any other
profession? Without a comparison, those statistics are meaningless.
Since you're such a stickler for real numbers, how many is "most
states?" Do those states have similar programs for other licensed
professionals or are dentists particularly vulnerable to addiction?
I have slipped on many sidewalks, including my own. I wasn't hurt in
any way I remember. I did not sue but then I'm not that kind of guy.

Then the article continues with "at least 14 hurt". What does that
mean-- oh wait a minute the following sentence explains it: "13 cases
of external burns, 7cases of ear canal obstruction with candle wax,
and 1 perforated eardrum." I'm no mathematician, but I thought 13+7+1
equaled 21? Or do they not count ear obstruction as hurt? At least
they say (in so many words) that about 10% of the people surveyed got
hurt. What can they say about that when more people can get hurt going
to the dentist?! Or walking outside on slippery unshovelled neighbors
sidewalks?
