Demi Moore Swears by Leeches Too!

The David Letterman Show, Demi Moore said the following: “I feel like I’ve always been someone looking for the cutting edge of things that optimize your health and healing… I was in Austria doing a cleanse and part of the treatment was leech therapy… These aren’t just swamp leeches though - we are talking about highly trained medical leeches. These are not some low level scavengers - we’re talking high level blood suckers… They have a little enzyme that when they are biting down in you it gets released in your blood and generally you bleed for quite a bit - and your health is optimized… It detoxifies your blood - I’m feeling very detoxified right now. I did it in some woman’s house laying on her bed. We did a little sampler first, which is in the belly button… It crawls in and you feel it bite down on you and you want to go, ‘You bastard.’ Then you relax and work on your Lemaze breathing just to kind of relax… You watch it swell up on your blood, watching it get fatter and fatter - then when its super drunk on your blood it just kind of rolls over like it is stumbling out of the bar.”

Hollywood celebrities are trying their hand at Rakta Moksha detox techniques too. While most people squirm at the thought of blood sucking leeches, celebrities like Demi Moore are swearing by leech therapy to keep themselves toxin free and youthful. According to US Magazine, leeches are Demi Moore’s secret to looking sexy at the age of 45.

“I feel like I’ve always been someone looking for the cutting edge of things that optimize your health and healing,” she told David Letterman when she appeared as a guest on his show a few months ago. Demi describes how four leeches got drunk on her blood, starting from her bellybutton, and how they don’t like hair and prefer waxed or shaved skin.

While Moore actually appeared on Letterman’s show to promote her movie Flawless, most of the conversation focused on how leech therapy has kept her health flawless. Check out the video for yourself:

Could you ever imagine purposefully letting leeches suck on your blood? Yeah, me neither. But Demi Moore does, as a way to detox, according to this interview she had with Letterman a couple of weeks back. According to Demi, "I was in Austria doing a cleanse and part of the treatment was leech therapy. These aren't just swamp leeches though - we are talking about highly trained medical leeches." And does she feel better after the cleanse? She answers with a resounding yes, though she admits she didn't feel very good immediately following the procedure.

Using leeches for medical reasons was considered a legitimate, trustworthy cure ... in medeval times. But back then, redheads and people with freckles and people were thought to be witches too. So why revert back to that ancient way of thinking? I can't see any way this could possibly be healthy. Can you?
