Ear stapling WTF?

muffyvonmuff

My receptionist in my office loves fad diets.  Every few weeks she's on to something new.  I like talking to to her about it since we both find them comical as she tries them.  Everything from cabbage soup/ master cleanse/ atkins etc.  Well this week she tells me she's going in 2 weeks to get her ear stapled.

Ive never heard of it but after doing a little google research I guess It has to do with accupressure.  It looks like a 'daith' piercing in your ear.  I know people that have all types of piercings so not very weird looking.  Basically The constant pressure on the zero point that connects to your stomach and metabolism has constant pressure i.e. the earing, and this in turn reduces food cravings…..supposedly. 

She said her close friend had it done almost 3 months ago and has lost 45 lbs.  Im not gonna lie, Im very intrigued to see if this works.

I rememeber this from a few years ago. I know some people who have done it and lost 5 lbs only to gain it back plus some. I doubt anything like this really works.

no, they're really little i guess because they're more or less flat against her ear
