 The Seattle Times: Health: Leeches, maggots and parasitic worms can play healing role
The federal Food and Drug Administration, which considers leeches to be medical devices, recently approved a French firm's request to market them in the U.S.; two existing U.S. distributors of medicinal leeches were grandfathered into the rules.
Leeches, marvelous "devices" that they are, carry all their medications on board in their saliva: an anesthetic, so you won't notice their tiny, sharp teeth; a substance that dilates blood vessels; and finally, hirudin, which Vedder calls the most potent anti-coagulant known to medicine.
Current interest in leeches revived after a 1985 case in Boston in which surgeons successfully re-attached a boy's severed ear with the help of leeches, said Lisa Darmo, a biologist with Carolina Biological Supply, a distributor for Biopharm.

The reality is that too many Ojibwe young people can tell heart-rending stories of parents who are abusive, parents who have died or been killed, parents who live in an alcoholic haze or use what little money is available to score their next hit of their drug of preference.
