My new favorite vice documentary!



This guy is pretty awsome, he is a little much like a dope head for my liking but this video does bring up very interesting things.

-he looks really young
-not sick for 9 years
-Great skin
-Medical tests prove he feels younger than he is
-someone like him, a sort of mentor, died at the age of 100
-The afformentioned man helping people with illness, with results
-linked to cancer cures

I Found this really interesting, Too bad its too marginal to have any real scientific effects but its damm interesting!

I almost threw up when I saw what the venom does to the blood in your body. What a sicko.

When I inject venom then go skiing I do big S turns and carve like a snake. I also take the temperature with my tongue.

He doesn't really get high, it's more like a steroid that doesn't shrink your nut sack

Would be interesting to see if the venom could actually be used to treat diseases like MS.

where I find it interesting is that he does it a lot and in binges. He bruises and swells etc. But he does get long term benifits. There must be a way of controling the dosage or application so that the negative impact is less than the health benifits it seems to create.

a friend posted this on fb. I thought it was interesting until he brought up the BS about it making him a swifter skateboarder. I couldnt help but laugh at the guy after that.

Only thing this proves is that snake venom does not cure mental retardation.

I loved it when he read the comments from other people. It just shows you the amount of ignorant fools in the world. I think its awesome that he injects/puts venomous poisons or whatever in his bloodstream. If people can't respect that, who cares? People do what they want, and won't stop because a few waste of life-people tell him he should die.

But yeah, that was a legit video.

Those comments are relevant to the ones above lol...

This guy is fucking crazy. To the guy above who said he was laughing at how stupid this guy sounded when talking about his skateboard...whens the last time you injected snake venom? For him it's like trying to explain smoking weed, how can you possibly do that in a sensible way? Open your mind...

I have a pet snake, although not venomous, and let me just say that this is fucking crazy. Yes, he may have some weird health defects, but I too have been crazy about snakes since elementary school and even visited a reptile zoo in Florida but there is nothing that would ever make me even come close to injecting venom into my veins. Notice he only injects viper venom, not venom from cobras, mambas, or coral snakes, because those are two different snake families and the way their venom kills you is totally different. Viper venom does what's shown in the video to you blood, where as non viper venom (elapidae family snakes) just plain stops your heart and kills you.

I'm too lazy to watch the video, but I'm pretty sure he used cobras as well hombre.

i'm pretty sure you can't "cure" mental retardation since it's not an illness or disease. you're fucking stupid

Seriously. I'm not talking about all the other drugs like LSD, Shrooms, coke, etc. I'm talking shit like this. It brings me to my next thing. Kids that resort to shit like this because they can't get a little Al green in their lives. Seriously, I know kids on probation that huff ether and like brake fluid and shit because it doesn't show up on a pee test. It's silly.

Kinda cool. It would be interesting to see some actual medical tests done on this guy to see if the venom is having actual beneficial effects and also to see how his liver and kidneys are doing.

I don't understand the hate but then again people hate for the sake of it. If this guy wants to inject snake venom then let him inject snake venom. It looks like it's been working. More power to him.
