Ear Candle FAQs

Disclaimer: We would like to point out that although some of our candles have a very traditional look and feel they are in no way connected to the Hopi Indians. The Hopi Tribes do not agree with their name being used for the selling of ear candles.

Information on the use of the word "Hopi" Ear Candles
(Sourced From Wikipedia)

"Although manufacturers of ear candles often refer to them as "Hopi" ear candles, there is no such treatment within traditional Hopi healing practices. Vanessa Charles, public relations officer for the Hopi Tribal Council, has stated that ear candling "is not and has never been a practice conducted by the Hopi tribe or the Hopi people".[12]

"The Hopi tribe has repeatedly asked Biosun, the manufacturer of ’Hopi Ear Candles’ to stop using the Hopi name.[13] Biosun has not complied with this request and continues to claim that ear candles originated within the Hopi tribe".[14]

A. The powder is a chemical reaction between the cloth and wax. This occurs in every single ear candle and is dependent upon the health of the end user.

Mobile Protection Chip FAQs

Q. What are Mobile Protection Chips?

MPC Mobile Protection Chip™ protects you from the harmful effects of magnetic fields created by mobile phones, computers, TVs, microwave ovens and electronic games. It uses nine carefully selected natural gemstones, containing nineteen common elements, which synergistically attract to themselves the magnetic fields, so protecting you from their harmful fields.

Our bodies are composite magnets themselves, with positive and negative polarities and their own magnetic fields. How they respond to the magnetic environment is complex and this response is heavily distorted by devices such as mobile phones.

However, we do know that physical symptoms occur when the body’s magnetic field has been disturbed or damaged. Many of these symptoms pass quickly, but there remain many unanswered questions about the possibility of deeper and more lasting effects that at present, are largely invisible and undiagnosed.

Q. What evidence is there that Mobile Phones can cause health risks?

In May 2000, the U.K. government-appointed Stewart Committee reported on the possible health hazards of mobile telephones. It recommended a policy of "prudent avoidance" and a "precautionary approach" to the use of mobile phones.

"The precautionary principle is a risk management policy applied in circumstances with a high degree of scientific uncertainty, reflecting the need to take action for a potentially serious risk without waiting the results of scientific research."

Scientific evidence now emerging indicates that there is clearly a need for effective protection devices against adverse magnetic emissions and radiation effects.

Q. Why is protection from your mobile phone so important?

A article published in April 2008 outlined the risks of using Mobile phones -

Mobile Phones: Potential Health Hazard

24/04/2008

A well known cancer expert recommends people to drastically reduce their use of mobile phones. A study by Dr Vini Khurana an award-winning cancer expert reveals that using mobile phones can be more risky than smoking or being affected by asbestos.

Dr Vini Khurana’s study draws on the results of studies of people who have been using mobile phones for at least 10 years. He said that as cancers need a minimum of 10 years to develop, the previous studies cited by official statements on mobile phone safety showing that mobile phone use was not risky to health, were invalid.

Germany, France and the European Environment Agency have all called for mobile phone use to be reduced.

Dr Khurana said that "We are currently experiencing a reactively unchecked and dangerous situation," in which there is a "Significant and increasing body of evidence for a link between mobile phone usage and certain brain tumours."

On account that malignant brain tumours are a diagnosis for an end to the persons life, he is concerned that "unless the industry and governments take immediate and decisive steps, the incidence of malignant brain tumours and associated death rate will be observed to rise globally within a decade from now, by which time it may be far too late to intervene medically."

For his closing comment, Dr Khurana said "It is anticipated that this danger has far broader public health ramifications than asbestos and smoking." This estimate is based on the statistics of three billion people using mobile phones as opposed to one billion who smoke.

In the last 16 years, Dr Khurana, one of the best neurosurgeons received 14 awards and has reviewed over a hundred studies focused on determining mobile phone effects as well as publishing over 30 scientific papers.

Q. How do MPCs work?

The scan photographs to the right show clearly how MPC protects you from harmful magnetic emissions.These photographs of Michael Poynder PhD, the inventor of MPC, were taken by Mr. Harry Oldfield with his Polycontrast Interference Photography (PIP) system. The minutest change in density of photons is recorded to give the pictures you see. Different colours represent different frequencies of energy. The first picture shows Michael’s normal magnetic fields.The first picture shows Michael’s normal magnetic fields.

The black cloud over his head in the second picture shows the disruptive energy caused by the use of his mobile phone.

The third picture shows how this negative energy is neutralised by the use of MPC on his phone.

After carrying out the study, Mr. Oldfield concluded, "There appears to be a correlation between MPC and positive energy influences and protection of the user. MPC proved very worthy in these particular experiments."

Q. How should I use my MPC?

To use your MPC, remove the protective backing and affix to a clean, dry surface on the face of your mobile phone, computer, TV, microwave oven or electronic game. MPC is compatible with most types of mobile phone and has no adverse effects on transmission, reception or battery life.

MPC has been assembled by hand at our factory in order to maintain the delicate balance of the gemstones, which it contains. Provided MPC’s acrylic dome is not damaged in any way, protection will continue indefinitely.

Q. Can you tell us more about Dr Michael Poynder?

Dr. Michael Poynder invented MPC as a result of over forty years experience of working with gemstones and crystals and twenty years working professionally in alleviating geopathic and personal stress.

He has discovered that through the correct combination of natural gemstones and crystals, the disruptions from modern microwave appliances can be controlled and brought into balance in the para and diamagnetic fields.

The last five years have been devoted to finalising and thoroughly testing his research on over 1,500 mobile phones, computers, TVs, microwave ovens and electronic games. This has resulted in the perfection of the MPC to ensure that you, the user, are fully protected from the harmful magnetic emissions of such appliances.
