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."

I haven’t had the flu for over 40 years, perhaps he’d like to be injected with ____
This latest one, my grandson had the shot but could have had a mild case (they didn't get it right), then given it to me or it was my daughter. Doubt if it could have been anyone else unless I caught it from a trip to the store.
Other than all his magic parts falling off, he’s in great shape. May live to 500 if he doesn’t end it next week.
LOL

Enough silliness...
Me either. I don’t get sick period. This is mostly
due to the fact, I think, that I am not around children.
They are primo disease vectors.
Earth years...?? /S

I really wish he’d do at least one more movie. My generation doesn’t know what funny is, most especially the next generation.
According to the book of Revelation, eventually mankind does get to the point where no one ever dies. (For five months). unfortunately when it happens, everyday will be a living hell. Rev 9:5
Same here. AAMOF,the last time I had flu was around 1967.
The Placebo Effect.
“Michigan Sunset” —nice photo..! Wowzers.
What do you shoot with, mostly..?
I have not had the flu for much longer than that. I blame it on all the beer I imbibe every day!
Hey! That's my theory you are talking about.
It is appointed to every man to die once and then the judgment.
:’) Thanks FT!
Stuck in my head for the rest of the night.
*Thanks*
