you guyz think it's beneficial to human health? i mean back in the day, leech therapy was somewhat of a common treatment in many countries, but nowadays, our lifestyles are completley different. would the same therapy be helpful and does anyone have first hand experience?

Um no it's not helpful at all.

Why? You gave no facts or evidence of your own, and until you do, I don't have to try and prove a negative.

Well if you have no evidence, then the default is that they shouldn't be asumed to be beneficial.

you said it's not helpful. you could be right cuz i made this thread asking for feedback. i asked for evidence and you didn't have any. that's fine, i'll take your post as an opinion and not as a fact. again, thanks for the feedback.

King Kandy
Well if there is no evidence, then the default answer is "No, it's not helpful."

Its very helpful and infact relied on quite often in hospitals to use leaches and maggots to clean infection and eat dead flesh from wounds. They dont suck out the bad blood containing illness though wink
