I personally have gone through this ritual and as scary as it was I do not believe it cured my ear ache. However, it did scare the pain right out of me. I was upset with my mother for not taking me to a doctor and putting me through an experience I did not understand. I'm sure many children feel that their privacy was invaded while going through the ritual, as I did. I also remembered telling myself that I would reject any medicines she was going to give me. Mal de Ojo was not my belief, it was my grandmothers. It is a culture belief that I choose not to pass on to my children.
