Anti-aging Parasites

Anti-aging Parasites

Welp, this isn’t a joke.  Saw this as an ad when I was closing out my email today.  Turns out, you let these leech looking nasties suck on your neck and you Benjamin Button or some shit like that?  Sound erotic?  It’s not.

Now, from a medicinal perspective and understanding, I researched before I wrote this blog (that’s right, I don’t just talk shit – I read and THEN talk shit).  Basically, the leeches suck out the toxins and bad shit in your blood, then they barf.  The barfing keeps them alive and is the only reason they are able to take out as much as 10mL from the host body (their words) in 30 minutes.  The bummer is that I can’t find much after that?  I don’t know how the toxic blood sucking keeps you pretty, but I guess it stresses out your body less?  This is total conjecture, but the science we should ALL study before doing shit like this basically ends with that.

We are all (God willing) going to GET OLDER AND LOOK THAT WAY!  It’s part of the deal.  I don’t know about you guys, but I plan on living to be 154, so I’m fairly certain my skin will be in a pile on the floor next to me and my hair will have long since left every part of my body but my armpits and my upper lip.

There is a lot of info around about who is using leeches since Demi Moore has gotten louder about personally employing this technique. What I would love to know is how the facelifts also help her be gorgeous?  I mean, she swears this is all she does, but come on – she’s more gorgeous now than she was in “Ghost”.  Me thinks the squirmy Draculas are not the only reason you’re hot, Demi.

Here’s my thing – until we decide, as a society, that youth isn’t the only thing worth worshiping, this is where we will stay – in leech-ville.   I’m so guilty of it too.  I think, “Hmm…if I just did a little bit here and a little bit there, I’d be good.”  It’s a slippery slope, my friends.

Hell, this is one of the most gorgeous women I have ever known of, so either we can all chase the dragon, or we can all attempt to find beauty in every stage of our lives.

SO, if you want more info, this site is pretty extensive and is written (allegedly) by an Ayurvedic specialist who had to study this stuff.  If you want more info, click here. It seems funky to me, but what the hell, maybe leeches can Benjamin Button my ass too?

I can’t wait for diapers again.

Moral of the Story:  Sigh.

  1. There is one theory that Americans consume too much iron from eating lots of meat and that women live longer since they lose blood every month. So the above would get rid of some iron.

    1. Thank you for that, Chuck! I honestly didn’t know. There’s something to be said for detoxing, so maybe this is the way to do it? Thank you for reading!
