Eat live frogs to cure stomach problems

A Chinese man claims that he's been free of intestinal complaints for 40 years -- thanks to a diet of rats and live tree frogs. Apparently he started the regime in his mid-20s, when he was having frequent abdominal pains and coughing, and hasn't had any trouble ever since.

According to Beijing News, the man originally had trouble eating a "live, wriggling frog," but he not only got over his inhibition, he has since supplemented his regime with baby mice -- once eating as many as 20 in a single day.

I consider myself fairly open-minded when it comes to alternative medicine, but I'm afraid this story is a little tough to swallow.
