Russian doctor who injected himself with ancient bacteria claims he NEVER gets ill

A Russian scientist has injected himself with ancient bacteria and claims it's left him fitter, healthier and more productive.

Anatoli Brouchkov, who works at Moscow State University, thinks the 3.5 million-year-old bacteria could be the key to making humans immortal.

To test his theory, he put the bug directly into his veins and was astonished at the results.

“I started to work longer, I’ve never had a flu for the last two years,”

Brouchkov first tested the miracle juice on mice and fruit flies — finding that it made female mice no longer able to reproduce.

Soon after, he decided to test it out on himself.

He acknowledged that his lack of sickness wasn’t solely attributable to the injection and hopes that the bacteria will be a part of an upcoming clinical study to test its effects.

“We have to work out how this bacteria prevents aging. I think this is the way this science should develop,” he said.

The death-dodging doc even suggested the bug already be helping people live longer.

It has been locked into ancient permafrost, but may now be escaping into the Siberian environment.

He said: “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.”
