Now 48 years old, Hang Mioku is said to be a cosmetic surgery addict and has severely disfigured her faced after injecting it with cooking oil. She had her first surgery at 28, mostly to her face. Despite her face so enlarged and disfigured she thinks she's beautiful and still want more but doctors refuse to do so suggesting that her obsession could be a sign of a psychological disorder.

Amazingly, she found a doctor who was willing to give her silicone injects and, what's more, he then gave her a syringe and silicone of her own so she could self-inject.

When her supply of silicone ran out Hang resorted to injecting cooking oil into her face.

Her face became so grotesquely large that she was called "standing fan" by children in her neighbourhood - due to her large face and small body.

Two-year-old Oliver Sherwood is kept alive by daily doses of viagra. He has a rare condition known as pulmonary hypertension that causes chronic high blood pressure and can be controlled with four doses of Viagra a day.

The drug improves blood flow, which in adults can boost erectile function but in rare cases such as Oliver's can open the veins and capillaries to aid circulation. His mother Sarah, a part-time nurse, said: "We joke when we pick up his drugs that it would be Christmas come early for most people. Obviously the dose isn't high enough to have the effect it would on adults. "Viagra is an expensive drug but it's actually one of the cheapest to treat pulmonary hypertension.

Scopolamine is a colorless, tasteless, odorless drug. It is also known as hyoscine and is classified as a tropane alkaloid. The drug can be obtained from plants in the Solanacea (nightshade) family. Most scopolamine comes from jimsome weed, or as in Columbia, borrachero trees. The plants it can be derived from are many, and abundantly available. This makes its use widespread, and exceedingly dangerous. It is, surprisingly, one of the most feared substances in what is arguably the drug capital of the world, Columbia.

In Columbia alone, there are over 50,000 reported cases of Scopolamine drugging, although rarely does this receive media attention, in Columbia or elsewhere. The drug is used almost primarily by criminals as a way of making victims so docile that they have been known to help thieves rob their own homes and empty their own bank accounts. Additionally, women have been drugged repeatedly and held as sex slaves, or have been convinced to willingly give up their own children. The most horrifying side effect of the drug is not is ability to make zombies of its victims, but the complete amnesia it causes. Source

The European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction said nearly one in 20 Brits took cocaine last year as it replaced cannabis, ecstasy and speed as the most fashionable choice among young people, the Daily Mail reported.

Figures revealed that 4.9 per cent of British men and women aged between 15 and 34 used the drug last year - about 800,000 young people.
