I think this is one remedy that I'll pass on — when the treatment is more nauseating than the ailment... :ohno:
BEIJING (Reuters (http://uk.reuters.com/article/oddlyEnoughNews/idUKPEK14690620070605?rpc=92)) - A man in southeast China says 40 years of swallowing tree frogs and rats live has helped him avoid intestinal complaints and made him strong.

Jiang Musheng, a 66-year-old resident of Jiangxi province, suffered from frequent abdominal pains and coughing 20 years ago, 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."

Over the years Jiang had added live mice, baby rats and green frogs to his diet, and had once eaten 20 mice in a single day, the paper said.

The following is a conversation between Jiang and his proctologist.

Jiang: It seems I have a going problem.

Doctor: No, you have a going problem.

Jiang: So my prostate is enlarged? Is it cancer

Doctor: No, you have warts.
