I saw that Leech treatment (Hirudotherapy) is the best treatment to stay young, Demi Moore use that treatment.

Question

What have you heard of it?

I'm 20 by the way and preparing for the future if there's one lol!

Answer 1

Oh yeah?  And where exactly did you see that?  The New England Journal Medicine?   The Journal of the American Medical Association?   Didn't think so.

It's just another bogus trendy Hollywood fad.  Wait 6 months, there will be another one....then another...then another.  Would you really take health advice from a vain, self absorbed actor?  

There actually are some actual medical benefits from leeches however, so I think that is how these rumors and fads start.

Leeches turn out to be useful in plastic surgery, when people have had things like fingers reattached.  They prevent swelling in the digits that cuts of circulation, and allows the graft to "take" better.

Their blood thinning secretions are also being investigated as  a "clot busting" drug for use in the treatment of heart attacks and stroke
