World's oddest treatments: "Witch Doctor" gives them a go

"Gauze treatment" is practiced in some regions of India (such as Sanjeevani, here) to "remove toxins" from the stomach. How does the treatment work? The patient swallows a long strip of gauze, keeping hold of the last inch. He then massages the stomach manually to "cleanse" the stomach, and then pulls the gauze back out.
