" We know her for the ThighMaster, of course, but Suzanne Somers has been making headlines recently for her outrageous (and some say wacked-out) attempts to stay young--which range from daily vaginal injections (yes, you read that right: vaginal injections) to a bucketful of vitamins and supplements a day. Let&amp;#x27;s discuss...**** Newsweek ran a story recently about Suzanne Somers&amp;#x27; mission (or, you could call it obsession) to keep her body youthful. According to the article: &amp;quot;Each morning, the 62-year-old actress and self-help author rubs a potent estrogen cream into the skin on her arm. She smears progesterone on her other arm two weeks a month. And once a day, she uses a syringe to inject estrogen directly into her vagina. The idea is to use these unregulated &amp;quot;bio-identical&amp;quot; hormones to restore her levels back to what they were when she was in her 30s, thus fooling her body into thinking she&amp;#x27;s a younger woman.&amp;quot; The piece goes on to describe her grueling regimen of pills: 60 vitamins and other supplements each day, which reportedly include injections of human growth hormone, and &amp;quot;nanotechnology patches&amp;quot; that she says help her sleep, lose weight and promote &amp;quot;detoxification.&amp;quot; More from the article: &amp;quot;Somers makes astounding claims about the ability of hormones to treat almost anything that ails the female body. She believes they block disease and will double her life span. Many health experts have lined up to refute her methods and warn others that such treatment could be flat-out dangerous, yet more women seem to be interested in her approach after she appeared on The Oprah Show. Suzanne says she&amp;#x27;s doing all of this so she can live well beyond 110. But seriously, injections into the vagina? I think she&amp;#x27;s gone a little nutty in the I-want-to-live-forever department. What about you--would you ever subject yourself to a regimen like this in the name of staying young? I say no, no, no! P.S. What did you think of Brooke Shields&amp;#x27; recent comments about wishing she&amp;#x27;d lost her virginity earlier so she would have lost weight? **** Get Glamour Wherever You Go!
