This immediately reminded me of ‘ear candles’

… I have been berated and belittled as a closed minded fool for pointing out to a former friend group that uh, ear candling is a scam, there’s no way it can work, the ‘experts’ doing in person ‘treatments’ are unqualified, charge an absurd amount of money, and can actually harm you.
… This was the beginning of an insane series of dramatic bullshit whereupon I learned that this friend group consisted of a 350 pound person who demanded everyone find them attractive and healthy, and has panic attacks/seizures whenever someone doesn’t, an antivax nurse, a ‘professional’ astrologer and tarot reader, and a self described ‘leftist socialist’ pursuing an MBA.
This group of people decided I was an asshole for not paying $300 for one of them to get their… ear… candled…
I have chronic ear problems, and I’ll usually get someone telling me I should try ear candling. Luckily they stop when I tell them to look up the videos of people using the candle with a jar and getting the same “wax” extracted.
If there’s a spiritual practice out there which is genuinely capable of improving one’s health, it’s going to look nothing like either hustle culture or straight up health denial. In 2009 I weighed around 350 as well. I’m down to around 240 now with more yet to go.
Sugar was my entire problem.
