A Russian scientist injected himself with the 3.5 million-year-old "eternal life" bacteria found in Siberian ice.
The Russian scientist, Anatoly Brochkov, who heads the Department of Earth Science or Geocryology at Moscow State University, said he had not been infected with flu or other diseases for two years after injecting himself with the bacterium Bacillus F, which remained alive. In the ice millions of years.
Scientists have tested the bacteria on mice and human blood cells, but this time Brushkov decided to test himself. “I started to work longer, I felt strange strength in my body, and I had no disease in the last two years,” he said.
“I know the ice is melting in this region of Siberia, and I think these bacteria are starting to seep into the water and the surrounding environment, so the local people in these areas have long been getting these bacteria from the water, and they seem to be living longer than that. In some other areas, so there was no danger to me when I thought of injecting myself with bacteria. ”
"If we can find out how Bacillus F bacteria can survive over these enormous periods of time, we may one day find a way to extend human life for periods we don't expect," the Russian scientist said in an interview with RT.
Viktor Chernyaevsky, an epidemiologist in Yakutsk, said the discovery could cause a "scientific uproar." These bacteria could become the "elixir of life" as they produce biologically active substances throughout their life, which activates the immune status of animals. Traders
