your “cockroach” may be useful
![]()
Many would see cockroach as useless and dangerous insect because it is a carrier of many diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis, polio and others. Every time people see cockroach runs in houses, the immediate reaction is to terminate this lowest form of insects unless it escapes from our punishment. We are programmed to do, think and behave in this way because we have learned that this insect is not good for the health.

In a National Geographic, this insect was featured as useful in some other way. Cockroach is used as one of the medicines in China and a sort of sport and pet in Australia. Some Australians in Brisbane celebrate their holiday by racing cockroaches. In Northeastern Brazil, cockroach is good for asthma. We have heard that this insect has been in existence for millions of years which can even escape from chemical warfare and withstand nuclear blast because of its secret weapon – cockroach’s formidable reproductive ability where it reproduces thousands of breeds in a week’s time with the wings of the female cockroach being raised to attract an opposite sex.

In some parts of China, cockroach serves as food. One has to boil, dry and fried it with some spices. It tastes good according to some residents. One of the owners of the pharmaceutical company testified in his study and experiment that cockroaches have some beneficial effects to one’s health. In an experiment of the live frog, the frog’s heart was beating fast, after an injection of liquid containing chemical of a cockroach, the frog’s heart beat returned to normal. The company needs to further study the side effects of the medicine. In the same place, the old woman powdered the live cockroaches to be used as ointment of the wound. It is believed that the wound would be healed in a few days because of the chemical content of the cockroach. There are also dried cockroach, which is in capsule form, to treat for liver, hepatitis, hypertension and other forms of diseases. In fact, this capsule may also prolong the life span of the human being to 120 years because the brain and nerve cells regenerate more new cells which can help prevent aging and Alzheimers disease, according to a professor.
