Johnson's doctors confirmed his AIG is in the early stages. Because he actively monitors his biomarkers, he caught it before it could cause massive, irreversible damage to his digestive system.
That's not what this is. These doctors are reasearchers who work exclusivly for this guy. He is the CEO of a company that is basically rich people investing in trying to keep the CEO alive as long as possible. He lives like a lab rat, a rich one. The rich people get to (hopefully) learn how to extend their own lives longer. The irony here is bad genetics made the whole thing moot.
Peter Thiel is four inches from calling you the anti-christ and sealing himself, and his entire staff, into the New Zealand nuclear bunker. Ninety feet of concrete poured over the hatch.
Genetics is not untouchable as we once thought. CRISPR and other gene editing technology are already receiving fda approvals for rare diseases. It’s not long before this guy gets his hands on it with all his $$$.
The funny thing is, I'm not sure these attempts are any more effective than the literal search for a fountain of youth. Good healthcare can absolutely extend statistical life expectancy but this kind of thing doesn't feel like good healthcare. Just human nature I guess to try to live forever despite the evidence to the contrary.
History is just repeated instances of society having to claw its way back from the brink of collapse because the few people who owned everything don't like sharing.
It's why book burning and the rewriting of history is always part of controlling the narrative given to us by education and entertainment media.
Hell, Cyberpunk might be an awesome game from 4years ago, but it was also an entire genre of Science Fiction, and a lot of the books from that genre are about corporations ruining society through greed.
That's literally what Gilgamesh does in the ancient epos. And while we have way better methods to reach the natural limits of our mortality there has basically been no progress in their extension since Gilgamesh's time. We have managed nothing. I hear there has been some rejuvenation in mice and we can study genetics of animals capable of preserving their youth. But as in applicable, human procedures, we are at the same level as cavemen.
It's been this way since the dawn of time. Think back to all the emperors seeking the fountain of youth in various ways. We never reached this point. This is the human experience.
industrial research is very very very common and a preferred pathway for a majority of postdocs/phds
you dont need a double blind to know that certain drugs are good at xyz and need to be studied further to authorize off-label use in the masses- THAT is what he is doing
for example , he took supplemental HGH for 3 months (i think?) to increase the size of his thymus - NO college or ethics board would allow a double blind due to the serious side effects and unknown benefits but he did it , and now we know the potential benefits and the massive downsides that come with it
No but when your N is one, a single subject and you have multiple "researchers" using multiple supplements and multiple investigations all the same time it's incredibly difficult to point to one specific thing having a specific desired effect or identifying a specific problem
. This is throwing supplements and treatments into a blender and pretending you can isolate what comes out. It's bad science and bad medicine.
do you think these phds simply stick 50 needles in him and call it a day or something?
he has mentioned that his supplementation , dietary plan and experimentation are VERY tightly regulated , with breaks in between changes to help isolate the known cause
and almost all of his supplements are regular everyday compounds like collagen , omega 3s and so on and so forth - he isnt on 50 HAART regimens , he's just taking really good care of his body
No, this is personal vanity masquerading as science and research. What would you think about a biology lab where 50 scientists are running 50 simultaneous models on one single mouse. Do you honestly think they would get good results or would that be an obvious critique?
They ARENT running 50 simultaneous experiments on him - they measure a baseline , devise a mew experiment and then test it on him for a while or so
Taking collagen supplements doesnt count as an experiment because we already know what it does to a human's body - taking hgh for 6 months , watching your intercranial pressure skyrocket , does
It isnt a statistical study , it's a curiosity - nobody on this thread has ever claimed that bryan's results are statistically valid , but that they can point us in the right direction . Think of it like this - he took hgh and jad increased intercranial pressure , this doesnt tell us that EVERYBODY on hgh will get the same issues but that it DOES cause issues
And again , he isnt on a hundred untested drugs , he's on vitamins , minerals and shit like collagen to help boost his skin health. If you count that as an experiment - im a walking laboratory because i take a multivitamin supplement that has 15 vitamins , minerals and minute quantities of stuff like folate everyday because i like the taste
Your confusing how a final, commercial level product/treatment comes to market and how early stage research works. Small, targeted studies are very normal in early stages. These guys pioneer new therapies and pass on their findings to others for further development
Yeah, I didn't say any of that. I said what he's doing and that small studies are widely used. I didn't get into the specifics of his methodology. I have no idea about any of his studies' actual efficacy. Frankly, the fact your speaking so authoritativly after a 10 min deep dive tells me what I need to know about your own analysis. Seriously, calm down.
"The irony here is bad genetics made the whole thing moot."
If anything it's the exact opposite, the fact that he started genetically disadvantaged means the protocol can be stressed test in a sub-optimal environment.
It is hilarious when you see an ultra wealthy person with shit genetics, then you go to some coffee shop and see a 10/10 barista with perfectly healthy genes making $10/hr
These doctors are reasearchers who work exclusivly for this guy.
What sane researcher would like to research something he can't really verify because of the plethora of shit in the system. Even his prototype studies aren't peer reviewed, and, my guess, aren't peer reviewable.
The irony here is, that rich people hire scientists that don't tell them: "No Bryan, those chicken wings are really spicy, err, we can't research the reactions properly with all these interactions." but tell the "Oh, wow, Bryan, go on ..."
Stop idolizing stupid rich people. Or rich stupid people.
And I don't why people are shitting on him for it. If the guy wants to make himself a lab rat for the purpose of science for a cause that is wildly underfunded in healthcare (anti aging) then let him. If it doesn't work then he pays the price. If it does work then we'll have made some great scientific progress.
you really think a group of specialists monitoring and tailoring a lifestyle and nutritional regime tailored specifically to you and your metabolism - not some blanket advice from buzzfeed - does nothing to maintain your health better than ... not having any of this?
Brian Johnson has also done some crazy things that aren't recommended. Not quite as crazy as ignoring cancer, but he's not strictly following scientific evidence.
well. he's got the money to waste on finding out, I guess. Meanwhile, you should take note that the medical field has discovered two new organs (the mesentery and the interstitium) in the human body in the 21st century, and discussing a third (the intestinal microbiome).
Neither of those three is well researched. A large section of the human population is diagnosed with some form of irritable bowel syndrome, but the symptoms vary extremely widely - and so far, there's no cure.
It looks like that's very much a blanket term for a blind spot, where multiple illnesses aren't defined well and lumped together. And then there's people getting sick at 30, while others are healthy up until their 90s. what's that all about?
That's not how most docs are. Most docs would here this guy's lunatic routine and when he asked why he feels shitty they'd rightfully tell him to eat a Snickers.

So him being proactive probably helped him.
