Staying Young and Healthy

Are you suffering from exhaustion, insomnia, backaches and other minor ailments? Are you seeking the fountain of youth? If you fit into any of the above categories, you may want to visit Tenteki10 in Tokyo for a shot of human placenta...Yes, you read it right - human placenta...

"The staff at Tenteki 10 is confident about its popular "placenta pack," which costs about $30. The bubbly receptionist tells me it's her favorite drip at the clinic—she personally receives it at least once every other week. The morning after, she says, she wakes up refreshed, her skin noticeably smoother and younger." (Slate)

According to a spokesperson for Tenteki10, they want their "customers to believe that the drip service will bring them perfect health."

In case you are scared of IV drips, you may want to try The Placenta 10000 drink from Nihon Sofuken...It is supposed to taste like peaches...

Fine, human placentas are nutritious (at least the Japanese think so) but are they safe to eat? A doctor in Yunoyama, Japan, who runs a "health and rejuvenation tour" that offers injections of placental extract says "the extract is effective for treating disease and "safer than aspirin, I'm sure, 100 percent." (Slate)...Tom Cruise endorses the good doctor...He wanted to do it...In an interview with GQ magazine hours before the birth of his first biological daughter Suri, he announced "I'm gonna eat the placenta. I thought that would be good. Very nutritious. I'm gonna eat the cord and the placenta right there."

People will do anything to look young and beautiful...
