How do you find these things?Take a google look at "Bee sting therapy" for a bit of a scare. From the "References": (All references seem to relate to colonic cleansing therapy - major enemas in other words - and have nothing to do with this "anal candling") "Questions to ask about a home co1on cleansing unit before purchasing!
1. What is it made of?
Avoid any unit that is made of a laminated particle board. We have been told by owners of these boards that after a while, the lamination cracks and soiled water seeps in making the board smell horribly." And that's a surprise??? I'm surprised that there aren't more injuries from imploding wine bottles - using it as a candle holder will apparently produce a vacuum in the bottle... ? Seriously, these are probably like larger "ear candles" which are basically a waxed narrow paper cone. You shove the narrow end in your ear, light the other, end and the "chimney effect" produces a very slight pressure drop and a pink-noise-like sound (I doubt if a user of the anal candle will notice the sound). The quacks promoting these claim cures for the usual list of stuff.

Cheez, most of you guys are like a bunch of engineers- no imagination. (Great balls of fire excepted.)  Cummon Bob Maar, turn to the left and cough up. I throw down the latex glove. Hmmm. butt candling induces a vacuum... Hmmm... "Hi, I'm a Kirby salesman, and you won't believe the new attachment we have just for you!" "The bride and groom were wed in a candlelight ceremony provided by their friends..." "An novel offer from someone wanting to bear the olympic torch was rejected today..." "This afternoon, President George Bush discussed plans for updating the Statue of Liberty with the Governors of New York and New Jersey. In a press conference President Bush said "We want to send a clear meesage to those who support terrorism, and the current statue does not reflect the attitude of our great country since 911."" "In a related story, the pretzel has been ruled out as a reason for the President's fainting spell..." "Enron executives have found a previously untapped source of natural gas that can be used for illumination. Exclaimed Kenneth Lay, "Why the resources in the Senate alone could light Washington!"" "Clinton was seen to be standing staring strangely at his cigar, muttering "Damn! Why didn't I think of that?..."" "Executives of seven major theatre circuits have suddenly stopped ordering replacement xenon lamps. While refusing to comment, one employee photographed at a local theatre was looking drawn and heard to comment "I can't believe the stuff this company wants from us!"" BTW, one of the first people to discover that bee stings relieved arthritis lived a town over from me in Vermont and came to the theatre regularly. He was a regular guy and chanced upon the discovery because he had an apiary.
