Magic Chinese Bowl Can Cure Erectile Dysfunction

February 10, 2010Health 3 comments

The Star recently reported claims of an ancient Chinese bowl, inherited by an ex-government servant from Kampong Seberang Jerteh, Terengganu, having supernatural powers including being able to cure erectile dysfunction.

70 year old Mohd Nor Daud (picture above) says that he believe that the bowl was given to his ancestors by traders from China. The Bowl is estimated to be of 16th century. He learned of its magical powers from his father who died years ago.

Mohd Nor Daud claims that the bowl can change seawater into freshwater safe for drinking if the water was kept in the bowl for 8 hours.

He claimed that illnesses like impotence can be cured by drinking the water from the bowl.

Another claim is that cooked food can be kept for days without refrigeration and won't go bad if kept in the bowl.

Further, those who intend to lift the bowl, according to Mohd Nor Daud, must clean their hands thoroughly. If not, they will not be able to lift the relic.

What do you think guys ? Believable ?
