14 DAY TRIAL // South Korean custom officers made a gruesome discovery the other day, when they apprehended several people trying to smuggle in pills that were later determined to contain powdered human baby flesh.
The pills are branded as stamina boosters and are considered a miracle cure-all. As it turns out, not only do they contain the most incredible ingredient ever, but they are also harmful, the Daily Mail reports.
“The South Korean Customs Service said today that it had heightened its searches of suspicious packages being brought into the country by travelers from China in an attempt to stamp out the sickening trade,” the British publication writes.
“According to customs agents, 35 smuggling attempts have been made since August last year involving more than 17,000 capsules disguised as 'stamina boosters',” notes the same media outlet.
Studies have shown that these so-called “stamina boosters” are made of human remains in a percentage of up to 99.7.
These remains come from fetuses and newborns, with abortion clinics and hospitals playing an important part in this trade.
The pills come from China but their exact origin has not been determined yet. Authorities in both countries are said to be working together to make it impossible for those involved to produce and sell these pills.
“The grim trade is being run from China where corrupt medical staff are said to be tipping off medical companies when babies are aborted or delivered still-born,” the Mail writes.
“The tiny corpses are then bought, stored in household refrigerators in homes of those involved in the trade before they are removed and taken to clinics where they are placed in medical drying microwaves,” adds the British newspaper.
“Once the skin is tinder dry, it is pummeled into powder and then processed into capsules along with herbs to disguise the true ingredients from health investigators and customs officers,” says the Mail.
Of those arrested the other day, no one has been charged because all smugglers claimed they had no idea of the main ingredient in the pills.
They also said that the capsules were for their personal use and had no intention of selling them.
