New Weird Asia Natural Cures
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.â€
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.

Wow, you took this story off my blog 15 minutes after I posted it. How do I know you took it from MY blog?? Well, I couldn’t get the original picture from Yahoo news (of a Chinese man eating a frog) to load on my page, so I grabbed a picture of this cute redhaired kid instead, from a random different internet page.
I feel slightly famous…or something….

Glad you feel famous though.
