Van Persie Having Horse Placenta Treatment

Van Persie Having Horse Placenta Treatment




1:38pm UK, Tuesday November 17, 2009
Robin Van Persie is in Serbia for a special treatment that involves rubbing horse placenta on his damaged ankle.







The Arsenal striker was hurt during Holland's friendly against Italy at the weekend, and initially feared he could miss the rest of the season.
But he is optimistic the unusual treatment will have him back on the pitch in six weeks.
"I am going to receive treatment from a female doctor," he said.
"She is vague about her methods, but I know she first massages you for a long time with placenta fluid.
"I'm going to give it a try. It can't do any harm, and if it helps, it helps."
Van Persie has refused to blame Italy's Giorgio Chiellini for the injury, but his Dutch team-mate Dirk Kuyt has been rather less generous.
"I was very disappointed (by Italy)," Kuyt told Sky Sports News.
"We played a friendly against a big country and if you see the way they kicked us it's very sad, very sad for the Dutch team and also very sad for Robin because he was in great form.

"I think it was a bad tackle. Sometimes you think about this when you play a friendly for your country there should be more respect for each other and hopefully it won't happen in the future."

Robin van Horsie so ...........

I thought this kinda treatment was a non-runner but hopefully he won't be out furlong and will soon be in fine fetlock ....

I once got an injury treated by steeping it in pigs blood, had to stop it though as i kept coming out in rashers.

And it doesn't even speed up recovery cos it takes (saus) ages ....

He always was a one trick pony, still it's horses for courses and lets hope he get whipped back into shape soon.

whats he doing with Van Nistelrooys placenta...............
