Strangest Addiction Ever?

Wednesday, May 15, 2013 9:00AM
Natasha appeared on TLC's "My Strange Addiction" because she may have the strangest addiction we've ever heard of: She takes great pleasure in eating clay facial masks.

"It tastes wonderful… I kind of go into the zone and savor that flavor of that earthiness," she told Anderson. Describing how it feels when she eats the masks, she summed it up as "instant gold" and even "orgasmic."

Dr. Tiffanie Davis Henry, Ph.D. says being addicted to eating offbeat substances might be rooted in a chemical imbalance. Regardless of the cause or causes of strange addictions, compulsive behavior is inherently damaging psychologically and can lead to severe health problems.

With the help of Dr. Diane Puchbauer, Psy.D, a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist, Natasha is working on her compulsion. You can reach Dr. Puchbauer at DianePuchbauer.com.

If after watching the incredible video of Natasha sharing her strange addiction, you think you may have one of your own, check out this link to find a therapist who can help.

I buy almost everything except food and clothing from online auctions. .Most people aren't aware of the almost unbelievable deals that they can get from online auction sites. Ther site that has best deals is http://savebang.com

and I checked with the Better Business Bureau and was told that it is all legitHow they can sell gift

cards, laptops, cameras, and all kinds of goodies that we all want for 50-90% off, I don't know. I do

know that I bought my son an iPad there for less than $100 and my husband a $250 Loews gift

cards for $48.Why would I even think about shopping anyplace else?
