An Asthma Cure From Frogs?

It appears that a starchy, milkshake-like liquid, which has a tendency to sting the throat, is believed to have the power to cure asthma, bronchitis, sluggishness and even helps enhance your sex drive. The drink, which sometimes called "Peruvian Viagra", sells for about 90 cents in Peru.

The liquid, which is revered by some Andean cultures, is made of a skinned frog, three ladles of hot, white bean broth, two over filled spoonfuls of honey, raw aloe vera plant and several tablespoons of maca (an Andean root, which also supposed to increase ones sex drive). All the ingredients are place in a blender, blended and the results is strain and goes into a beer mug.

The drink is commonly found in the central highland cities. This is known as there "power drink" and the concoction is treat as the morning or afternoon cup of coffee. Personally I would rather stick simply with ground up coffee beans with my Viagra pill.
