A woman in China has reportedly eaten a whole bottle of live maggots in hope of curing her lung cancer.
The patient from the city of Xi'an is said to have blindly followed a folk remedy which claims that the practice could cure malignant tumours.
Having suffered from cancer in her left lung for about three years, she therefore gorged on wiggling worms in a desperate bid to have a full, speedy recovery, a doctor told reporters.

The unwise move left the woman with 'severe pain' in the stomach and she had to go to hospital a month later to seek medical assistance, reported Xi'an Radio and Television Group. She had to be hospitalised.
It is said that doctors at the Xi'an Central Hospital received the woman, known by her surname Li, earlier this month.
Ms Li said she had experienced pain in her chest and stomach for about two weeks - so much so that she had had trouble sleeping at night because of the 'torment'.
According to Dr. Wang Zheng, Ms Li was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2016 and her condition had been stablised through a series of medical treatment.
Dr. Wang said when the patient came to her and her colleagues for help, they suspected that her cancer had spread.
'We carried out a full assessment on her and discovered that her cancer was very stable. There was no sign of it returning or spreading,' Dr. Wang told reporters

To evaluate her situation further, doctors suggested Ms Li undergo a gastroscopy, an examination of the inside of the gullet, stomach and duodenum.
The procedure is performed using a flexible fibre-optic instrument called a gastroscope or endoscope, which can take photographs of the area and transmit them to a TV monitor.
During the examination, doctors were shocked to find live worms in Ms Li's intestines.
After being questioned by the medics, the woman confessed that she had eaten a bottle of live maggots a months earlier.
Apparently, Ms Li heard that a friend of hers had apparently recovered from her malignant tumour through the method, and she decided to follow suit.

Doctors gave the patient anthelmintic drugs and her pain disappeared the next day, according to the report.
Dr. Wang warned the public not to believe folk remedies.
She said: '[Folk remedies] cannot cure illnesses. Furthermore, you could miss the best opportunity to treat your illnesses.'
'They could also lower the chance of you recovering and cause other complications,' she added.
Last month, another woman in China nearly died after injecting fruit juice into her veins to 'improve her health'.
The 51-year-old woman, surnamed Zeng, was blindly following a folk remedy and thought she could better absorb the nutrients in the fruits this way, Chinese media reported.
Doctors in Chenzhou, Hunan Province, managed to save Zeng after five days of emergency treatment.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
