When health gets WEIRD...*teng..teng..teng..*

I came across this articles (randomly) few weeks ago about some strange and bizarre health stories..and here some of it which I found "interesting"..

"Koro" a.k.a "Penis Panic" 

Basically, this so called syndrome happens when one person believe that his external genitals is shrinking and/or disappear (now u see it...and now u don't).  Mostly strikes in Asia and Africa, but don't worry...this "syndrome" can be cured...

 (ehem...never knew that "penis" can get panicked..lol)

Pica Disorder

This is a medical disorder where a person commonly eats things that aren't actually FOOD such as metal,paper, dirt..etc (most of it are INDIGESTIBLE) . It is believe to be caused by mineral deficiency and may be dangerous especially to children. 

and this is the person who are a famous Pica disorder patient....

Michel Lotito (who eventually died because of natural causes)

some of them even become a "famous" street performer...

Fat Women are Happier than???

Psychologist at a University in Canada suggested that overweight women
are happier as the body fat protects them from negative moods. They think the 
link is due to oestrogen and serotonin, used in antidepressants, which are found 
in fatty issue and therefore overweight women have higher levels. In other words,
 the higher the BMI (body mass index) the lower the symptoms of depression and anxiety.

p/s to myself: THE MORE U EAT...THE HAPPIER U ARE

If u have cancer...Please SMOKE

A clinic in Indonesia claims that smoking actually cures cancer, emphysema and autism by blowing the smoke from “Divine Cigarette’ into the ears and nose of a person. The startling claim goes against all medical proof that smoking is linked to and increased a person’s risk of cancer and other diseases. Her theories have never been clinically tested to prove they work.

* I wonder which brand of that "Divine Cigarette" is....Gudang Garam??? Lucky Strike Lights??...just curious...

We are sure living in a Crazy, mixed up world...
