Every day, this California resident eats 5 live Chinese weevils (medicine man).
According to her, this saves her from cancer and generally strengthens the immune system, and also treats arthritis and digestive problems.
Malcela Iglesias, a mother of three, says that the most important part is to swallow the beetles alive. That's when they release a substance called coleotoxin.
In 2011, according to medical research, coleotoxin was found to reduce the growth of cancerous tumors by 70%. Thus, while Marcella's behavior may be considered pretentious, in fact it is based on proven fact.
In addition, many futurists have long asserted that insects are very rich in protein and are the food of the future.
The woman herself raises these beetles at home, which she feeds with bread, wheat and lettuce. Beetles reproduce well.
Marcella started eating beetles after a cancer friend did the same. He was terminal stage and was only given a few months to live. He was prescribed chemotherapy, but he voluntarily refused it, deciding to be treated with "folk remedies".

He read various articles from the Internet and found that Chinese weevils help in the fight against cancer. After that, he began to eat 40-50 live beetles every day and … after 6 years, doctors did not find any sign of a cancerous tumor in him!
Since Marcella did not have cancer, she takes a “prophylactic” dose, which is only 5 bugs a day. It helps her, she says, although it causes a problem with friends who find eating live beetles disgusting.
The woman swallows the beetles, washing them down with celery juice to fight off the unpleasant aftertaste.
The woman started eating weevils 2 months ago and, according to her, it is too early to talk about a definite effect. But there are many other adherents of the same theory on the Internet who have been eating weevils for several years and constantly praising them.
According to them, they are also, firstly, an excellent substitute for protein from meat, and secondly, they are much easier to digest than beef or chicken.
