Have not been posting for weeks...thx to schoolwork lar...

In the news in class video, the people in India used LEECHES to cure their illness. Disgusting eh?
But I cant deny that they were useful...according to Muhyidin, an alternative healer who uses leeches to cure people of a variety of ailments,leeches can cure people of several illnesses like rheumatism, hypertension, lung disorders, diabetes and persistent dizziness.The saliva of leeches contains 15 chemical substances,including hirudine,which can prevent blood clotting, and hialuronidase, which can break down the hialuronate acid and bind the connective tissue. Although leeches are very useful, I doubt I'll ever use leeches as a form of treatment--leeches are disgusting!!!!!

Anyway,enjoy the picture.

  3. Although this treatment may seem disgusting or unsightful, it is indeed a great way to cure people of a variety of ailments. Leeches are surprising said to be of great use and helps stimulate blood despite the very fact that they feed on blood which keeps us humans alive! The vagaries of Mother Nature indeed! As the saying goes," Good medicine always tastes bitter", well in this context, its absolutely true! One has to endure the pain of the leeches feeding on ones blood but get cured of ailments... the very thought of it makes the ends of my hair stand.
