An Iranian newspaper has reported the controversial story of a woman who claims to have given birth to a frog. The Iranian daily Etemaad says the creature is believed to have grown from larva to an adult frog inside her body. While it is unclear how this could have happened, the paper carries quotes from medical experts who say there are human characteristics to the animal. It has been speculated that the woman, who has not been named, unknowingly picked up the larva while she was swimming in a dirty pool. The woman, from the south-eastern city of Iranshahr, is a mother of two children. The "so-called frog", as the newspaper puts it, has yet to undergo precise genetic and anatomic tests. But it quotes clinical biology expert Dr Aminifard as saying: "The similarities are in appearance, the shape of the fingers and the size and shape of the tongue." Medical history recounts stories of people who believed they had frogs - or even lizards or snakes - living and growing in their bodies. One of the most famous was the 17th Century case of Catharina Geisslerin, known as "the toad-vomiting woman" of Germany. When she died in 1662 doctors are said to have performed an autopsy, but found no evidence animals had ever lived inside her body.
Asserting that a human body possesses special energies that aid healing and eliminate “negative forces�, a Pakistani doctor has claimed he can treat and cure patients even on mobile telephones. Samad Musafir, who claims curing people by transmission of energy, says that he practises “Zheel sciences� that could cure the sick on the cellphone. Musafir said that he has explored various “paranormal scientific disciplines� to find a common phenomenon that he called the “Samda� force. He said that the human body can transmit and receive Samda energy and the healing process involves a movement of the force from the healer to the sick. He said Samda has about 14 different levels to acquire powers and heal patients. Musafir supported his argument with verses from the Holy Quran and references to other paranormal sciences, saying the technique does not contradict any religious belief. He claimed that his students could cure eyesight problems with the technique, and that the energy allowed him to communicate with his “grand master�. He said that a large number of scientists are studying this phenomenon and his students include prominent Pakistani doctors including Dr Rashid, a paediatrician, Dr Fouzia, a psychiatrist, Dr Muhammad Younas, an ophthalmologist, Dr Muhammad Maqsood, Dr Abdul Mateen and several other physicians.
A Brazilian court will consider a psychic's claim that the U.S. government owes him a $25 million reward for information he says he provided on the hiding place of ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. Brazil's second-highest court, the Superior Court of Justice, decided on Thursday the Brazilian justice system could rule on the matter and told a court in the psychic's home state of Minas Gerais to judge the case. The lower court had earlier told Jucelino Nobrega da Luz it could not take up his claim and it would have to be judged in the United States, but the higher tribunal ruled otherwise. "The Minas Gerais court will work with the claim," said a spokesman for the Superior Court of Justice. "Jucelino da Luz alleges that the U.S. armed forces only found Saddam based on his letters that provided his exact location, the very hole where he was hiding in Iraq. So he filed a court case to claim the reward." The U.S. government offered the award for Saddam in July 2003 after the U.S.-led forces occupied the country. He was captured in December of the same year. The court said Da Luz sent letters to the U.S. government from September 2001, describing Saddam's future hiding place -- a tiny cellar at a farmhouse near Tikrit. He never received a reply.
"His lawyers attest that the author has an uncommon gift of having visions of things that will come to pass. ... Via dreams, he sees situations, facts that will happen in the future," a court statement said.
In case the court upholds the claim, it will be sent via diplomatic channels to the U.S. State Department.
