Leech Therapy?!?!?!?!?

Actress Demi Moore has made no qualms about wanting to keep up her gorgeous appearance by any means necessary. (With a hot young husband like Ashton Kutcher, why woudn’t she?)

While I can certainly understand a nip and tuck here and there, or attending a botox party every few months, I can’t quite give my seal of approval on her latest beauty trick: detox therapy with blood-sucking leeches.

Ew. Typing that just made my skin crawl.

Last night on 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.”

Barf.

To each their own.
