I found this really amazing website which allows you to post all your daily mess ups. It's so freakin' random. xD

I was reading listverse and I came across this list about bizzare medical treatments. Here is number 6, because I have never heard of it :-



Urinotherapy
The term urine therapy (also urotherapy, urinotherapy or uropathy) -they even have a scientific name for it lolll- refers to various applications of human urine for medicinal or cosmetic purposes, including drinking of one’s own urine and massaging one’s skin with one’s own urine. A practitioner of urine therapy is sometimes called a psychopath. Just kidding, they are actually called uropaths. There is no scientific evidence of a therapeutic use for urine. Urinating on jellyfish stings is a common folk remedy, but has no beneficial effect and may be counterproductive, as it can activate nematocysts remaining at the site of the sting. Urine does contain substances that are beneficial, such as Vitamin C; however, these substances have been excreted because they could not be used or because they were present in excess, so re-taking them will just result in re-excretion. The most obvious physiological effect of drinking urine, at least when it is taken on an empty stomach, is bowel movement (sometimes in the form of diarrhea) due to the laxative action of hypertonic solution of urea.


Here's number 2 :-



What is this in the picture you ask? Why, it is shit! :D

This medical treatment is called Fecal Bacteriotherapy. (bacteriotherapy isn't in the dictionary so it has a red line under it. *sadface*)

Fecal bacteriotherapy is used in the treatment of certain inflammatory bowel disorders such as ulcerative colitis. The treatment comes in form of a series of enemas given to the patient over a five day period. In order to create the liquid used in the enema, a “poop donor” is needed. In other words, a sample of poop is taken from a healthy person (usually a relative of the patient) and turned into a liquid for anal insertion. The idea is that the healthy bacteria from the poop provider will grow in the sick person and heal them. What is perhaps even more revolting than an enema of someone else’s poop, is the fact that the liquid can also be delivered via a tube in the nose.



Poop donor hahahahahaha.

Number 1 was smoking but I already knew that. So here's a gob smacking picture of a man with a hard-core ambition to smoke his brain dry.



Till then.
