Fire Therapy

The upheaval in India's $154 billion tech outsourcing industry has prompted thousands of Indians to seek solace in online therapy services.

For some in China, playing with fire is a treatment for illness. So-called "fire therapy", which proponents claim can cure stress, indigestion, infertility and even cancer, has been used for hundreds of years and recently garnered a blaze of attention in Chinese media.

A famed Austrian museum has fired an employee for washing his hands and face with his urine. Alfred Zoppelt says he was fired after 23 years of working as an attendant at the Belvedere, a castle in Vienna with a major art collection. He says his adherence to urine therapy was previously "never a problem."
