1. FECAL TRANSPLANTS
In the world of gross-out science, doctors are looking into fecal transplants “in which doctors inject several teaspoons of a sample of fresh feces into a person’s gut via a tube in the nose as a cure for diarrhea-causing bacterial diseases, and even as a possible treatment for Parkinson’s disease and diabetes. The dosage can also be administered in pill form.

4. BEER YOGA
This may be new to India, but it’s all the rage in the West. All that this routine requires is a regular yoga class with a bottle of beer to take a sip from or hold in your hand as the “focus point”. It is meant to complement the joy of drinking beer with the mindfulness of yoga.
5. PEARL POWDER
It might seem a tragic thing to pulverize some beautiful pearls, but this old-school Chinese and Ayurvedic remedy is the hot, new beauty secret. Here’s why: Pearl powder has amino acids, trace minerals, magnesium, and tons of calcium, according to holistic nutritionist and psychotherapist Jacqueline Olivia Garay. These are things many people are deficient in. They also can help with hyperpigmentation and evening out your skin tone. To consume it, you can add it to your smoothie or pop the gelatin capsules. Pearl, alone, is flavorless, Garay says—so this is one weird food that you won’t have to choke down.
6. DIRT
Early childhood exposure to bacteria, viruses, and parasites has been found to give a massive boost to our immune systems, making us less likely to get sick when we do come in to contact with various bugs. Research has found that children with a dog in the home are less likely to suffer allergies, and regular social interaction can reduce the risk of leukemia by up to 30%.
7. ARAME
This sea vegetable is collected off the coast of Japan and is loaded with vitamins and minerals. Arame has been shown to strengthen nails and hair, and improve complexion. Add it to a salad or soup. Extracts of this algae have been tested to combat MRSA staph infections.
