Demi Moore appeared on the David Letterman show, promoting her new movie Flawless, the other night. She surprised everyone with her admission of using the ancient healing secret of leech therapy. The 46-year-old admitted to visiting Austria to partake in a detox treatment that involves your body being covered in leeches. Demi said, “I was in Austria doing a cleanse and part of the treatment was leech therapy. These aren’t just swamp leeches though - we are talking about highly trained medical leeches.
She said you get your body ready for the leeches by shaving and bathing in turpentine.
“They have a little enzyme that when they are biting down in you it gets released in your blood and generally you bleed for quite a bit - and your health is optimized. It detoxifies your blood - I’m feeling very detoxified right now. I did it in some woman’s house laying on her bed. We did a little sampler first, which is in the belly button. It crawls in and you feel it bite down on you and you want to go, ‘You bastard.’ Then you relax and work on your Lemaze breathing just to kind of relax. You watch it swell up on your blood, watching it get fatter and fatter - then when its super drunk on your blood it just kind of rolls over like it is stumbling out of the bar.”
Really, I am not making this stuff up. Demi admitted that she can’t wait to visit Austria again for a second session. She only had 4 leeches the first time and felt a little cheated (not being sarcastic that’s what she said).
Wow I often suspected stuff like this was going on, but I guess you can admire her determination to do whatever it takes to stay young? She’s probably one of the most driven people on the planet. And I guess dating a younger man like Ashton just fuels her drive. Personally I am sticking to only looking in the mirror in poorly lit rooms and of course the goats blood.
