  • interesting

  • many things scientist cant explain. you never know although some things seem a bit far fetch

  • :34

    rats tong... horse assholes... PEANUT BUTTER.

  • witch craft is fake.

  • I saw peanut butter, LOL

  • um, not too far off for suprising, i mean many euopeans believed that the dead rose up and gave sickness to their relatives in their sleep when plagues were about.

  • Mr. Pregnant LOL

  • I see they are still crazy down south. Don't their new government offer education yet?

  • is it really crazy to follow traditions for hundreds of years?

    If so, you can call most of the world crazy.

  • did he find that mop in the dumbster? thats a mop dude, take it off of your head.

    not a wig, MOP!

  • That's what happens when religious nutters develop medicine.

  • so to cure a "rash in the stomach," he will be exposed to salmonella... go figure. so do they charge your insurance for that, is that why a witch doctor needs a secretary and fax machine? what um, "diverse" coverage they offer in africa.

  • Fucking assholes torturing a poor chicken. Inferior pieces of shit, this is why Africa is the armpit of the world. Fuck them.

  • I understand what you're trying to say, but my point is that part of being human is understanding that *most* animals feel pain in the same way we do. In that respect, humans should hold themselves to a higher standard when it comes to using animals for tasks such as this. And, I said torture because they did many things to the chicken (probably increasing its stress tenfold) before ultimately killing it. And, who knows how they killed it? Not humanely, that's for sure. Fuck these guys, haha.

  • How do you think the chicken you eat were raised and killed? It is far worse for the chicken to live their whole life never seeing the light of day in a crowded chicken farm and then brutally killed in a slaughterhouse then blowing air into it. I don't know what fantasy land you live in but snap out of it.

  • Lol I think everyone knows this. In America we can alter our eating practices to make sure we don't support those types of businesses.

  • What backwards people lol.

  • the so call doctor only did that so he can fried the chicken after and eat it

  • crazy ol sampson, always gettin into some shit!!

  • aha! that's the new trend in medicine.. just blow into a chicken and then dissect the chicken and check the organs for a Dx!! wow!!

  • Its all in their mind thats why it has an effect to their body.

  • they better cook that shit!!!

  • strong placebo... the bone throwign thing seems like totally randomness with no logic behind it

  • I thought this guy was Rick James. HA

  • Wow, that is very fascinating. (LOL, I been using that word far to many times today. I am turning into Spock in Star Trek?)

    Great video. I think I'm going to tape this in my DVR when it plays on TV.

  • i want to take on the strength of a baboon too.

  • poor chicken at the end. lol

  • having a disease/ailment blown into it and being sacrificed for that reason isn't something we'd usually do. so why not show compassion?

  • you're calling me retarded for feeling sorry for a chicken? am i not entitled to my own opinion? and why the hell do you care what i think for?

  • that's some gnarly hair

  • Sometimes these folk remedies have a real healing effect. While I do not believe blowing into a chicken will heal you a lot of modern medicine come from herbal medicine plants that people use. Scientist are exploring the fauna for medical use. Blood thinners were discovered by studying snake venom. Modern researchers are checking out practices like this for the gems in them.

  • Kind of embarrassing this type of stuff happens in 2009.

  • Accepting someones believes and finding them silly are two different things.

    I "accept" their beliefs in the sense they are free to practice their belief, but it doesn't mean I don't find them silly.

  • Calling them silly and embarrassing are two different things.

  • Replace the word "silly" with "embarrassing" with my response to your comment. What difference does it make?

  • Thinking something is silly is fine, but being embarrassed by what someone else believes is ridiculous. It's not even effecting you.

    I'm sorry if this sounds petty, but I just tire of some things after a while.

    You're obviously intelligent, and I shouldn't have even started this argument.

    I think I'm just letting off steam after having to be stuck dealing with ignorant high schoolers all day long.

  • stop posting your daily problems on youtube pussy

  • I'm not posting my problems. I'm giving a reason for acting the way I did.

    I don't really want to comment back and forth with you, because you're one of those kids that go around youtube looking at stupid stuff and favoriting stupid videos, but never posting your own, and you're not worth my time.

    So if you're trying to start a "fight" over the internet, you won't hear any more from me.

  • lol such a long reply from some one that doens't give a shit

  • let me get this straight, if I kill rodents and bugs, I can become a medicine man? damn!

  • lmfao

  • It's a placebo.

  • Shenanigans..!!!!!

  • Agreed. I call shenanigans!

  • Go with chinese herbal medicine ( it's dark and bitter but it contains purely plants... maybe some sugar / honey)

  • uhh...........

  • just to begin with.. all of our ancestors did the same.. including yours.. we used what we believed helped and continued with those remedies.. obviously the world wasn't like this thousands of years ago.. and a lot of cultures also believed in human sacrifices, normally children, to their gods to help bring, luck, fortune, and to stop storms and stuff...

  • I thought after blowing air in the chicken then use the chicken to make chicken noodle soup for the patient. but apparently not... I'm just shocked imagine all the bacteria from those dried up dead animals :(

  • Okay, so the person gains the qualities of the deceased baboon....Well, in that explination, the man should die because the baboon is dead as well....How completely retarded...only in Africa! LOL

  • I have one thing to say about these doctors, con men.

  • omg...baboon...aids..

  • really cool stuff! :D

  • WTF your saying

     drinking the baboon water

    is really fUCKING Disease

  • The only reason for these ancient beliefs is power.

    Back in those ancient times, the strongest man was the alpha male and all the rest was nothing in his shadow. So the smarter but weaker ones said that something the tribe didn't understand, is divine intervention and only he could interpret/heal/pray/... With those claims, he gave himself some power because he was believed to be the wise one who must be protected. This is just pointless repetitiveness.

  • Sure, it might be working, but thats not because of the items.

    Its called Placebo effect. The Brain is imagining its working, its imagining so hard its convincing itself its true.

  • Yeah pretty much.

  • This is pretty fucked up.

  • and i eat at KFC all that time i must have super powers by now....

    black people?

  • The power of the fried chicken , pork ribs and beef steak flow through me. I HAVE THE POWER!

  • iam rick james bitch

  • he dies shortly after drinking the baboon water, well guess his leg doesn't hurt anymore :)

  • Cool

  • This hillarious! Hmm... Okay! you got leg pain? Let me find the dried up baboon... or...?? a set of dried up horse balls

  • did we learn anything from this?

  • Yes we learned that some africans use animal limbs to cure people and sometimes it works. And i thought this was still interesting.

  • second if it means anything

  • Placebo

  • True.
