Russian scientist Anatoli Brouchkov revealed that he has been injecting himself with bacteria that is 3.5 million years old, because he believes it may halt the aging process. He says it has already made him super energetic, boosted his immune system and prevented the flu. The bacteria was found in ancient permafrost in Siberia in 2009, and is called Bacillus F.
Scientists did multiple experiments exposing the tissues and blood of various animals to the newly discovered bacteria. They saw dramatic results upon the immune systems and fertility of the tested animals. Then they tested human blood cells, which also showed a strong positive response to the bacteria.
Bacillus F has been dubbed the “immortality bacterium.” One Russian epidemiologist said that in his experiment “mice grannies not only began to dance, but also produced offspring.” While more studies are being done to understand how the bacteria works and how it might be used to help in human disease, Brouchkov is so confident in its powers that he’s willing to be a human guinea pig.
