This ear piercing for weight loss I tried back in 1970's--so is nothing new. Everyone was trying it then--did not work for anyone that I know. It did hurt! Waste of $50 then too.

ee, that looks freaky ugly.

Thanks for the suggestion Lady Rose. It would be a hassle if someone has to take away the piercing if he thinks that the appetite suppressant effect is too much.

Can just use the point as a pressure point - hold it tightly for a few minutes a couple of times through out the day - not that I'm against ear piercing (I have three holes in each lobe) - I just don't think it will work for weight loss.

The theory behind it which is accupressure points is some what ok - but I dont think piercing is necessary.

Thanks for the comments folks. Regarding infection although there's always the risk, it's been said in the website that it's virtually non existent. But yeah as if I need a prospect of infection before I voluntarily offer my ears to be stapled. There are some people who vouch that they lose weight, good for them.

A very interesting article Cherry! Got to say though for years I have struggled with my weight and am currently nearing 200lb's. I know I have a problem but the thought of having one of those staples stuck in my ear in order to loose weight, well I guess I have no chance as this guy wouldn't get within 10 metres of me with his staple gun!
That has got to hurt? No two ways about it, what if it gets infected? Ear infections have given me some of the most unbearable experiences of pain in my life and I am going to pay $75 and take the risk? I think not.
Basically I think they are cashing in on desperate people in desperate situations who really do want to believe that there is a way other than healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle that can shift the pounds.
The one thing I have learned on my rise up to near 200lbs is that gaining weight is easy loosing it was never ever meant to have a simple solution to it, which tells me that a simple staple is not going to work, for me anyway.
Guess I had better get back to my Atkins diet before too long at least being a self confessed bone cruncher I won't be suffering to much.

This is an interesting story, I've never heard of someone who makes a full time living through stapling someone's ears.

maybe its cos of the pain from the piercing that is causing temporary weight loss.

Judging from the picture, it must hurt a lot!
