Is Metamucil Not Available In China?

Man eats tree frogs to cure intestinal problems:

Jiang Musheng, a 66-year-old resident of Jiangxi province, suffered from frequent abdominal pains and coughing 20 years ago, until an old man called Yang Dingcai suggested tree frogs as a remedy, the Beijing News said on Tuesday.

"At first, Jiang Musheng did not dare to eat a live, wriggling frog, but after seeing Yang Dingcai swallow one, he ate ... two without a thought," the paper said.

"After a month of eating live frogs, his stomach pains and coughing were completely gone."

Over the years Jiang had added live mice, baby rats and green frogs to his diet, and had once eaten 20 mice in a single day, the paper said.

Intestinal problems, you say. Hmmm. I have some ideas.

Of course, this regimen would probably work much better if they were covered in chocolate:

"Well, if we took the bones out it wouldn't be "crunchy", would it?"

I love that line.
