Residents Hunan's Xiangtan county's Jinshi village have been drinking water mixed with goat or cow feces to prevent or cure cancers. The preventative measures stunned Chinese internet users who said the residents are either too ignorant or too poor to go to the hospital for proper treatment, reports Jiangsu-based Xinhua Daily Media Group.
Despite all the doctors who have refuted the feces' medical effects, the residents collected fresh goat or cow feces daily, dried them under the sun before grinding them into powder and drinking it with water. They believe that water can treat and control cancers. Two elderly residents who claimed they cured their cancers with the elixir began the trend.
Chinese internet users have not taken to the idea however. They have mostly blasted the residents for their ignorance. Netizen "utty_zqn" said mockingly that the treatment will shut down all tumor hospitals in Beijing. Another netizen lamented that it was "Such heart wrenching news. I cannot believe people that in the 21st century and in a country that is the world's second largest economy by GDP, people still treat cancers likes this. Who would eat that if one has the money?" One concerned netizen with the handle "T-ingofpop-AO" said people should think clearly before they drink the water since feces may have many microorganisms and parasites' eggs.
The Jiangsu media group found out the two elderly villagers who claimed they were cured by the water were only diagnosed with cancer but never went to a hospital to accept further examination or confirm the prognosis. Both of the elders are too poor and cannot afford to.
