More than 40 million patients with respiratory, gastric, and other diseases have been cured after taking a miracle-like potion that is being sold to more than 4,000 hospitals in China. Most people who consume this potion have no idea of what they are taking when they drink it. But, if they will simply take the time and read the product’s label, only one ingredient is listed: Periplaneta americana. That is the Latin name of the American cockroach.
The roaches used in this product come from the world’s largest roach farm in Xichang, China, where 6 billion cockroaches are bred each year. They use artificial intelligence to manage a colony larger than the world’s population, and all of the roaches are being used for medicinal purposes.
Once the roaches have reached the desired weight and size, they are fed into machines and crushed to make the potion. They say that the potion has a tea-like color, taste slightly sweet, and has a slight fishy smell. A 100ml bottle sells for a shockingly low price of only four dollars (You may want to stock up and buy a case!)
For over two decades, the Chinese government has financed nationwide studies of the cockroaches’ medicinal value. Laboratory tests and clinical trials have discovered or confirmed dozens of disease-fighting proteins and biochemical compounds that have a huge potential value in medicine.
One researcher said, “The potion is not a panacea – it does not have a magic power against all diseases. But its effect on certain symptoms is well established, and confirmed by molecular science and large-scale hospital applications.”
Don’t know about you, but I don’t think I’ll be taking any of that stuff – the disgusting thought of drinking the guts of over 100 roaches may be worse than the disease.
