  • What were the actual contents(herbs and such) being inserted into the girl's mouth at 4:36/40 and to fend off what sort of sickness exactly? Also would mainstream health care approve of this to like what extent, particularly medicinal qualities of this stuff? Also where did this idea originate most likely to have gold foil attached to your inner elbows to somehow stave of negative energy? Wow, what a world we live in. <3
