3. Live Frogs

Considering most people shudder at the idea of the French eating delicious frogs' legs in garlicky buttery sauce (yum), scarfing down a bowlful of amphibians whilst they're still alive and wriggling is enough to make you give up food altogether and subsist on air.

Yang Dingcai from southeast China has spent the last 40 years swallowing live frogs and rats (oh yeah, did we mention the rats?) and he claims that it has helped him resist intestinal problems and made him fit as a fiddle.

Not only that, but he's somehow managed to convince someone else that this is a good idea. 66 year old Jiang Musheng of Jiangxi province has always suffered with his guts, since he was in his early 20s, and so Yang Dingcai decided that he was the only one who could help.

A Chinese paper reported that "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,"

Jiang Musheng was reportedly delighted with the results, saying, "After a month of eating live frogs, his stomach pains and coughing were completely gone."

Maybe they're on to something. If you happen to try this treatment out, let us know how it goes won't you?
