Now this news is everywhere and people seem to be mocking him, but he is a good guy.
Being good and wealthy are mutually exclusive.

#42To add some context, this is a relatively common form of gastritis impacting depending on location 3-5% of the population called Autoimmune Gastritis. Now his biohacking might be related it might not, the issue with the guy is that he does too many interventions at the same time so it’s hard to really tell what’s going on. He also has a core belief of equating looking younger with his interventions working, to his de…
Whenever I look up diseases and it reports a statistic such as "3-5%" I often feel like either I must not be interpreting it correctly, or it is so region-biased as to not be useful for how I'm consuming the data. Because it's hard to reconcile that apparently in the ballpark of 1 in 20 people have this?

#44I know Putin is also doing a similar thing, he has a team of doctors who are supposed to keep him alive forever. But he certainly seems the sort of boss you cant disagree with or give bad news to (we can see that in how he commands the war) so maybe he will also hopefully die sooner than we think.

#45If you really wanna live a long time you probably need to be carefully making tons of fermented food the way our grandparents did but with the advances of modern science and monitoring. And of course eat an otherwise healthy diet with moderate and varied amounts of exercise and low stress.
And of course win the genetic + luck lottery.
Doubt the guy would be having GI issues if he was eating his own homemade Natto everyday
Edit: went to the guys site and the first product he's selling is a gut health pill that makes a lot of bold claims. Bullshit meter is off the charts

He's hubristic and selfish. None of his "research" is going to benefit anyone (himself included), making this essentially a huge waste of time and resources. Bryan will die just like all the rest of us, despite being very rich and self-obsessed. He could spend his enormous wealth on supporting real research and proper studies on real diseases that hurt lots of people. Instead he's acting like just another huckster pr…
> He could spend his enormous wealth on supporting real research and proper studies on real diseases that hurt lots of people There we go again. There's always that one guy in the crowd, who knows better what you should be spending your money on. Also, that guy has the moral right to tell you. He is a really good person, you know! So you should listen! You should also thank him. > He deserves to be mocked. Just look…

#48I thought the article was talking about his blood transfusions to explain any part of how he ended up with this disease but no, he just has it (for some reason) as a result of something that happened at some point.
He donates blood or ?

Yes exactly, there are good and bad things to spend money on. This is a bad way to spend money for the reasons I explained above.

#50I completely support people who want to be guinea pigs for health science.
What he's doing is not science.
