The state medical
board of Mississippi ordered 14 weight loss businesses that do ear
stapling because they say they are doing so illegally.
According to a
news report by ABC news, Mal Morgan who is the executive director of the
Mississippi Board of Medical Licensure had received several complaints
of people that had the ear stapling performed causing serious ear
infections. Doctor’s in the state had more people coming in to get the
staple removed and to treat the infection.
The ear stapling
business advertised this as a weight loss procedure which is why they
closed down the businesses as they are practicing medicine without a
license.
Ear stapling is
based loosely on acupuncture and is said to help in losing weight.
Mississippi is one of the states that have the highest rates of
obesity. According to an interview on ABC news, Morgan said that it was
believed that as many as 200 people a day were getting their ears
stapled with one of these businesses.
The state of
Mississippi requires that in order to perform acupuncture you have to be
a doctor that is licensed to do these kinds of procedures. Depending on
the state, you may only need a certificate to do acupuncture.
Customers are not
all happy to see the ear stapling businesses shut down. Customers spend
around $50 - $100 to have their ear stapled. They don’t want to see the
price skyrocket. Infections can occur and it is important to seek
medical treatment as needed.
According to a
report by WLBT channel 3 from Jackson Mississippi they reported on
success stories from the ear stapling for weight loss. One person
interviewed claimed that after being ear stapled they lost 12 pounds in
one month. You need to have the staple removed by a professional. So
hopefully the closed business will be able to get licensed to help their
customers out soon.
