Leech Therapy: This particular "therapy" uses leeches to treat various medical conditions. Many people believe that medicinal leeches can suck away bad blood and allow faster healing. Are there any real benefits of leeches? We don't know that but what we do know is the case of a 42-year old woman who got painful lesions on her feet because of medicinal leeches. This is considered a rare case, but it's true nonetheless.
Cow Urine: You might find it hard to believe, but cow urine is consumed by many people in India. There have been news reports that some Indian groups are trying to launch cow urine as a soft drink. Indians believe that drinking cow urine can keep them healthy and cure several diseases. A major cultural group of India has developed "cow water" from cow urine. Let's see if this turns out to be a success!
Bee Venom: Ouch! This health practice does not just sting, but can also prove to be fatal if you're allergic to bee venom. Although it doesn't involve swarms of angry bees, the method is weird nonetheless. In this process, therapists would apply venom to some specific points of your body to cure diseases like herpes, arthritis, and breast cancer. It is quite popular in China and there are many people who actually get regular bee venom sessions.
Tapeworm Diet: If your health idea involves sharing your food with a parasite, you've got more courage than we do. In the tapeworm diet, you swallow a bunch of tapeworm pills and stay thin as they happily eat away your semi-digested food. And once you're happy with the results, you can get rid of your friend. This practice is obviously dangerous, and soon faded away as the FDA interfered.
Ice Cube Diet: Some people believe that chewing on ice cubes can help them lose weight. But we feel like no matter how crunchy and cool the ice is, eating it can cause many dental problems. If you want to keep your teeth for long, we would suggest against chewing ice cubes.
Breatharianism: So it turns out that we actually DON'T need food to live if we "breathe right." It sounds really, really unbelievable, but some people did believe in it. You would think that this practice would become really famous because it's inexpensive and doesn't need any special equipment, but some breatharians starved while others were caught red-handed eating food.
Ionized Jewelry: This was supposed to be a breakthrough in science, as several brands (primarily Q-Ray) launched ionized bracelets as pain relieving products. They promised that users would get increased balance, performance, and vitality. And when tested, Q-Ray products turned out to be not ionized, so they were ordered by the court to return $16 million to their customers as a refund. So much for pain relief!
People say that they work, would you try them?
