This ain't no laughing matter. CNN did an article about an American man who went to extreme lengths for his health - fly halfway around the world to Thailand so he could swallow trichuris sius worms, parasites that live inside pigs' intestines (read the whole article on CNN: Man finds extreme healing eating parasitic worms).
What's weirder than that? We-hell, the reason this man had to fly to Thailand was because the "worm therapy" wasn't approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). So the patient had to contact researchers from other less developed countries and lo and behold, he found a researcher in THAILAND (of course) who was willing to help him - she got the worm eggs from the SHIT of an infected 11-year-old girl. The man had to clean and take care of the eggs himself, and when they were mature, he ate them (*cue retching noises*).
First he ate 500 eggs, then 1,000. He saw improvement within three months. This was in 2004, and the guy's cured now. NO MORE BLOODY POO POO. And he escaped a fate worse than death - having to carry a poo poo pouch for the rest of his life!
Weird but true. The "treatment" might be unconventional, but the field of medicine wouldn't progress if there were no people willing to try "alternative" methods!
Hell, if I were shitting blood I'd try ANYTHING.
Still think this is disgusting? Check out this video clip on how to make this unsavory activity more appealing (the guy on the clip is totally unrelated to the guy whose story appeared above):
