Armada Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Very cool documentary by Vice (Check out their youtube channel for other amazing documentaries) We met with a guy who's been injecting himself with snake venom for 20 years and he looks better than ever. The hemotoxins which attack human blood cells in a tree viper's venom can result in an agonising death in less than 30 minutes. The neurotoxins in a cobra bite can kill a person in half that time. for the past 20 years Steve Ludwin has been sticking all this lovely deadly snake juice in a syringe and mainlining it all the way to immortality. Privately milking an array of deadly snakes including rattlesnakes, monocled cobras, and a few casual vipers thrown in to the mix, Steve has been injecting what would for any normal human be fatal amounts venom into his body since the late 80s. The basic principle - laid out by pioneer herpetologist, Bill Haast, who died last year at the age of 100 - is that regular exposure to the venom results in the body developing an immunity. Steve claims to not only never get ill, but that cobra venom is the ultimate pick me up, with effects lasting a days after injecting, making Steve stronger, faster and more resilient. Finally it looks like mainstream scientific research might be catching up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aladeen Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Very cool documentary by Vice (Check out their youtube channel for other amazing documentaries) Is this a bad thing or good? As far as I see it, sure you can say its like doing a hard drug like heroin or meth but he's much safer than an addict plus he's not supporting any gangs or drug crime. Not to mention maybe he's on to some new medical science? I mean look at the guy, he's been doing it for 20 years, he seems healthy and looks much younger than 46.

Buggernut Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Sure, but wouldn't you believe there would be some side affect for taking venom for 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddhas Hand Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I am quite surprised that Lance Armstrong has not tried doing this at some point in his career Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schlaBAM Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 just watched the entire video, quite interesting. not something i'd ever do though, that's for sure. crazy nothing's happened side-effects wise though, especially after all these years!
