New Natural Cure for Upset Stomach: Live Frogs.

Posted by Alex in Animal, Medicine on June 5, 2007 at 4:00 pm


Upset stomach? Forget that peptobismol! Try this strange, "natural" cure:

Jiang Musheng, a 66-year-old resident of Jiangxi province, suffered from frequent abdominal pains and coughing from the age of 26, until an old man called Yang Dingcai suggested tree frogs as a remedy, the Beijing News said on Tuesday.

"At first, Jiang Musheng did not dare to eat a live, wriggling frog, but after seeing Yang Dingcai swallow one, he ate … two without a thought," the paper said.

"After a month of eating live frogs, his stomach pains and coughing were completely gone."

    Tasty!!!

    I wonder how it would feel wriggling down your throat ... and then dancing around in your belly while you digest it.

    -Great, It probably just another endangered animal that they can eat to the brink of extinction.

    Tree frogs are not endangered in the least, and neither are the rats he was eating.

    I do wonder though about the sanity and sanitation issues regarding eating live frogs...

    It's "interesting" to say the least.

    If a doctor told me to eat that, I'd "recover" very suddenly!
