      XPost: alt.fan.sean-hannity, talk.politics.misc, alt.politics.democrats       From: daily.mexican@gazette.com              A pair of brothers living in Peru who idolized the stars of a       popular reality TV show injected their bodies with oil to mimic       the celebrities’ muscular bodies, a near-fatal act that left       them paralyzed, Central European News (CEN) reported.              Oscar Huallpa, 17,and his brother Juan, 10, wanted to have       muscular bodies like the stars of “Esto es Guerra” (This is       War), Nicola Porcella and Yaco Esquenazi. They’d been working       out for two weeks, but were disappointed with the results and       found an article online that claimed injecting oil would give       them muscles.              “[Oscar] went to the local shop, and purchased oil and a       syringe, and before trying it on himself injected [it] into the       dog. Seeing that it gave the dog a bulge like a muscle and       didn't seem to cause any harm, he then tried it on himself,” his       mother, Sebastiana, told CEN.              Juan tried it after his older brother, and a few hours later,       both boys started getting pain in the limbs where they had       injected the oil. Shortly after that, both had lost use of their       arms and legs at the injection sites.              After being taken to the local hospital, the brothers were       transferred to a larger hospital in the city of Arequipa in       southern Peru for specialist treatment.              Doctors said the boys are on the mend now, but that they may       need to remain hospitalized while the infection continues. The       two underwent surgery to remove excess liquid and are lucky they       escaped serious injury or even death, they said.              "I read it on the Internet. It said that Nicola and Yaco oil       into their bodies to give them muscles, which is why I decided       to give it a try. I only wanted to be like them,” Oscar told a       local TV station, apologizing for the trouble he caused his       family.              “Esto es Guerra” is broadcast by American Television and       features two groups, Lions and Cobras, that fight in different       challenges in a bid to be champions.              http://www.foxnews.com/health/2015/06/18/brothers-paralyzed-       after-injecting-oil-to-copy-muscular-bodies/?intcmp=trending                      --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
