Thousands of pills filled with powdered human flesh have been discovered by
customs officials in South Korea, Daily Mail reported yesterday.
The capsules are in demand because they are viewed as being a medicinal
‘cure-all’.
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 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.
Once the skin is tinder dry, it is pummelled into powder and then processed
into capsules along with herbs to disguise the true ingredients from health
investigators and customs officers. ergo baby carrier uk
The discoveries since last August has shocked even hardened customs agents who
have pledged to strengthen inspections.
Chinese officials are understood to have been aware of the trade and have tried
to stop the capsules being exported but thousands of packets of them have been
smuggled through to South Korea.

allowed to continue the capsules will find their way onto the internet and be
sold to gullible or sick desperate people in other parts of the world.

suspicious packages being brought into the country by travellers from China in
an attempt to stamp out the sickening trade.ergo carrier sale
According to customs agents, 35 smuggling attempts have been made since August
last year involving more than 17,000 capsules disguised as ‘stamina boosters’.
Hospitals and abortion clinics in China reportedly pass the remains onto drugs

team reported last year.

they were made up of 99.7 per cent human remains.baby carrier original
Ethnic Koreans from North-east China who now live in South Korea are those who
were mostly intending to use the capsules or share them with other
Korean-Chinese’ said a customs official.
‘They are normally brought into South Korea in luggage or posted by
international mail.’
The capsules were all confiscated but no one has been punished because the
amount was deemed small and they were not intended for sale, a customs official
added.
Chinese newspapers have identified the Northeastern provinces as the source of
the human flesh capsules, in particular the Jilin region which is close to
North Korea.
