Russian Scientist ... stronger and healthier after injecting himself with 'eternal life' bacteria

If injecting yourself with 3.5 million-year-old bacteria could keep you looking and feeling youthful and healthy without having to fork out for a gym membership, would you do it?

Russian scientist Anatoli Brouchkov, head of the Geocryology Department at Moscow State University, is looking for the key to eternal youth.

He has therefore become a human guinea pig for some bacteria that could perhaps hold the key to longevity.

The bacteria,named Bacillus F, is amazing because it has remained alive in the permafrost for millions of years. Scientists have tested it on mice and human blood cells, but this wasn't enough for Mr. Brouchkov, who decided to inject himself with it.

"I started to work longer, I've never had a flu for the last two years," he said. "After successful experiments on mice and fruit flies, I thought it would be interesting to try the inactivated bacterial culture," he told The Siberian Times. He didn't think there would be a danger, as the bacteria is actually in trace amounts in the water of the region.

The scientist said: "'Besides, the permafrost is thawing, and I guess these bacteria get into the environment, into the water, so the local population, the Yakut people, in fact, for a long time are getting these cells with water, and even seem to live longer than some other nations. So there was no danger for me."

Sounds like the first issue of Dr. Nyet. Half man, half bacteria.

I’ve never had a flu for the last two years.

I have not had the flu for much longer than that. I blame it on all the beer I imbibe every day!

That’s a great profile. Good for you for fighting the good fight where you live.

I worked in NYC for 20 years and fought the liberals tooth and nail :)

Is there also a blue flame involved here somehow?

[TexasFreeper2009]

I am 47 and have never had the flu. And I NEVER get a flu shot.

[Repeal The 17th]

I am 64 and I have never had the flu, and I have never had a flu shot.

I stopped getting the flu once I left the mainland and weather colder than 65°. Isolation and a warm climate are amazing.

I'm you plus 10 and have never had a flu shot either. I think I've had some form of flu (excluding the 24 hour). Earlier this year I think I got the one going around the shot didn't work for, first the watery eyes, then it was a bad cough, continual, seemed bronchial, and lasted for over 2 weeks. I didn't have a fever and didn't feel that sick or weak but spent a lot of time in bed. Suddenly about a week and 2 days, I was better, thankfully.

So I'm thinking of getting the shot this year but I don't know. It's not like I go out and expose a lot of people to anything because I don't go out except to the dr's appt's I can't avoid.
