Question 1

how do fire-eaters survive?

Accepted Answer

Not well: Fire "eaters" do not get burnt because they pass their burning devices into parts of their body well lubricated with liquids and oils which are slow to heat and protect the underlying tissues.  However they usually use items with burning hydrocarbons and over the long run will get into trouble with the  ingestion of these toxic chemicals.

Question 2

is eaer candeling bad for you/?

Accepted Answer

No, nor is it good. : I tried an ear candle in an ear packed with wax. It burned down, i blew it out, and there was the wax inside the candle. I looked in the ear and the wax was still there. I repeated the same process with the candle in a glass of water. The wax result was the same. The wax was from the candle itself. Ear candles are a neat parlor trick but not a medical device. Don't waste your money.

Question 7

Question 9

is there really no issue if a human eats canned dog food?

Accepted Answer

Probably BUT: There are different standards for safety for human vs dog food.

Question 10

what would happen if someone undergone ect but didn't need it?

Accepted Answer

Likely nothing: How was it or should it be determined that they didn't "need it" if they were recommended it be done?  I'm thinking the psychiatrist made the recommendation.  I can't imagine a PMD such as an internist simply "ordering it" and that a psychiatrist would do it without an evaluation and agreeing that it was an appropriate intervention.
