Eating live frogs, rats 'cures tummy upsets'

A man in south-east China says 40 years of swallowing live tree frogs and rats 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 from the age of 26, until an old man called Yang Dingcai suggested tree frogs as a remedy, the Beijing News said.

"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.

yucky




MOUSECOPAN FIGHT THE ACHE

What an idiot. I would like to see a bear eat him alive and see if his stomach will still hurt after that.

lol the bear would get indigestion

Why is he an idiot?

your a Rac*** . why couldn't you respect one's culture.

I've always heard the saying "If you eat a live frog in the morning, your day can only get better." I guess this man took that saying too literally. But hey, whatever works, man. I take naps to get rid of my stomach aches.

I like a the juice, you like a the juice?

i bet that juice is mooshed up frogs

poor frogs, i hate that, death by stomach acid. . . "cringes in pain at the thought"

well at least they didnt go in the other end.

Ok....I think I'll stick with Alka-Seltzer.

actually it's not to bad. IMO and it helps upset tummys. The quote was from the movie "Master of disguise" ( I think I got it wrong though, I think it was "I like a da juice" instead of "the juice" Very funny movie.

yeah i saw that movie that was funny

That's kinda sick. How does these rats or frogs feel being eaten alive? Don't they get enough out of snakes? >.< No thank you. I rather stick to medicine.

Yuk! I should have thought it would have GIVEN him a stomach ache, eating live things.

LOL! You had the same thought I did! I used to have that as a bumper sticker on my car! It's true. I wont knock his methods, to each their own, but it ain't for me!!

Naps on the other hand...RULE!!!

Upset tummy? I use ginger ale, 7-Up or Sprite Zero. Mom swears by root beer.

I was wondering, how would someone eat a live rat? You couldnt swallow it whole ( a small mouse maybe) Rats are to big for that. So what?, he just starts taking bites from it alive? "shudders"

Oh yes, eating dead things seems much more wholesome.

People aren't racist for thinking it's gross to eat live animals.

YUK!

They would feel excruciating pain.

Poor frogs, mice, and baby rats..... and what a horrable death, suffocating and melting alive in a stomach...

ew, i'll just stick to generic Pink Bismuth.
bol'shoe spacibo. xo
