Photos: 18-year-old girl buried alive for three days to 'cure' crippling back pains caused by lightening

A teenager was buried alive to cure crippling back pains she has been experiencing after she was recently struck by lightning on her way to school in Monteria, Colombia, as relatives believed it would "take away the energy" the lightning left inside her.

18-year-old Ana Ballesteros was placed in a giant hole which was filled with earth and covered up to her neck for three days a week in her family's garden.

She was treated in hospital but continued to suffer back pain she claimed prevented her from walking properly. The treatment  involved her being buried for up to four hours a day over three days.

"Doctors study medicine but not lightning," Ana said. "I know that getting into that hole I’m goingto get better because these are ancient things."Her grandmother, Blanca de la Rosa said:"What we’re doing is taking the fire out of the light, the heat out of the energy."

Ana’s mum Milena added:

 "Locals told me before I took her to hospital that we’d be better off burying her instead to take the energy from the lightning away. I’m praying she comes out okay. She can’t walk properly and the burns she suffered on her feet cause her pain. I trust in God."

Local doctors have expressed their skepticism over the treatment. Walter Gomez, who works out of a clinic in the regional capital Monteria, admitted there were a lot of ancient beliefs among the community about how to cure storm victims including burial.

"There’s no scientific proof that burying a patient who has been struck by lightning has any beneficial effects for their recover" Gomez added.

Omg! woman's Butt explode while squatting for instagram video

Serena Beuford, 27, of Boston was left in a coma after her b*tt implants exploded while doing squats for the gram.

Doctors say Serena Beuford is in serious condition. Beuford was working out with a friend at a gym, and after they finished, the friend attempted to record Beuford doing squats to post the video on Instagram.

As Beuford was squatting, she heard a loud pop; which prompted her to immediately stop. Soon after the popping sound, Beuford fell to the floor screaming in agony from the pain. Other gym members rushed to her rescue until medical services arrived.

Jewel, a patron of the gym recalls the horrible event:

“I heard a loud popping noise followed by the woman falling to the floor. She was screaming my ass is gone!!!; I had no idea what she was talking about until I saw her cushion like butt missing when EMS took her out the gym.

There was blood and yellowish fluid all over the floor. She used to always show off her butt in the gym and tried to get guys attention with her work outs. Looks like she got more attention than she wanted this time around”

According to her sister Serena got her surgery done in March of this year from an unlicensed clinic and she reported that her sister absolutely loved her butt.

She said her sister got a lot of attention from men who would buy her gifts just because of her butt. She said Serena wanted to be an Instagram star and she thought this was the way to do it.

According to the doctor’s working on Serena’s case she is expected to survive but will have no use of her bowel system, she will have to use a colostomy bag:

The eruption of her implants caused severe damage to her rectum, colon, and lower intestines. According to medical officials, Beuford will require extensive medical procedures to repair the damage caused by the bad surgery.

“We, as physicians, do not understand why women put themselves through such agonizing pain to achieve results like this. These surgeries are not healthy for the body and are not meant to last long. Whoever did this to this young woman should be ashamed of themselves”, said Dr. Sanji, a surgeon.

So Daring! Woman Who Survived Breast Cancer Floods Internet with Topless Photos

African American woman, Ericka Hart has continued to grow in fame as she flaunts her body on social media and in public to boost the morale of women suffering from breast cancer across the world.

Ericka Hart

Two years ago, Ericka Hart, a 30 year-old sexuality educator was diagnosed with breast cancer. To raise awareness and provide visibility for Black queer women who are battling with or have battled breast cancer, Ericka attended this year’s Afropunk Fest in Brooklyn topless revealing her double mastectomy scars.

The courageous move caught the attention of the festival’s attendees and photographers. It wasn’t long before her photo and story went viral.

Ericka noted in her Afropunk blog, “Punk to me means standing in your truth and resisting white supremacist, patriarchal notions of existence. I wanted people to see me such that they saw themselves, their mothers, lovers and friends.”

Unfortunately, this wasn’t the first time Ericka came face to face with the disease. Breast cancer claimed the life of her mother when Ericka was just 13 years-old.

A recent study found “The black-white disparity in breast cancer death rates has increased over time; by 2012, death rates were 42% higher in black women than white women.”

The trend is expected to continue. That same study found that “Black women are more likely than other racial/ethnic groups to be diagnosed at later stages.” Despite these dire facts, the face of breast cancer survivors tend to be white.

 As a black, queer survivor, Ericka was determined to show the world that “We exist.”

Ericka Hart is not only a breast cancer survivor, she is a breast cancer warrior. The decision to share her scars and her story are a true testament of her #BlackGirlMagic. We caught up with Ericka to discuss her decision to attend Afropunk topless and the importance of visibility, sexuality, and self care.

Her full interview is contained on Posture mag.
