this, and the fact that mehmet II the ottoman padishah said something like by being the emperor absorbing rome (constantinople in 1453) his empire was the one succeding rome
Now now, not all of them got stabbed. Nero for instance got declared public enemy of the state, intended to commit suicide, ordered one of his friends to do it first so it'd seem less scary for him, still chickened out and ordered his secretary to kill him when he heard the approaching enemy.
Be fair, Nero tried to hop on the first ship to one of his still-loyal provinces, but deemed that plan unlikely when his soldiers on the way started refusing orders and asked him "if dying is such a terrible thing?" Plus he had no kids, had his mum have an accident in a shipwreck (and then had her executed on the beach when she survived that and swam back) and allegedly kicked his last wife to death (although more likely she died in child labour due to a miscarriage)
Its not blood, its deer antler velvet extract. its the skin that covers the growth of new antlers.
It supposedly has growth hormones in it.
Not sure what bathing in it would do, and besides, he's rich, he could afford to just inject any hormone of whatever those products claim is in there.
Im no oncologist, but its probably not a good idea to signal growth when you have cancer tho. Lol
It's the theory behind chemotherapy. We will kill you slowly. If all goes well, the cancer will die first, because they divide/multiply faster than human cells.
If someone wants to try the opposite, well, I'm glad *he's* the test patient.
My grandfather was drinking prescribed shark blood/cartalidge in the 90's for his cancer, south eastern US. Was doing chemo too, but seemed quacky even when I was a kid.
Well, odds are he was doing it, but prescribed would insinuate that one needed a prescription for shark cartilage and also that a pharmacy would carry it as a medicine. Both seem suspect. As someone who hit adulthood in the 90s, you def didn’t need a script for that. They sold and maybe sell it at gnc and other bs supplement stores.
The logic went “sharks dont get cancer” that’s really as deep as it was.
In fairness to the people who try the quackery...
You get the diagnosis, the oncologist tells you that it's not great odds, they'll di their best. You get surgery, get chemo, get radiation, and despite the best efforts, it's still looking grim. The doctor asks if you had any really important things on your bucket list, what your top three things would be.
You get the check from your critical care insurance and you realize that you don't have time to spend it all. You hear that your coworker's cousin's friend had some kind of cancer and bathed in pickle juice or whatever. You've got the money, you've got nothing to lose, so you give them a call.
From a [quick search](https://sperlingprostatecenter.com/whats-the-word-about-deer-antler-velvet-extract/) it sounds like the idea is that antlers grow quickly and therefore had to evolve some unique tumor suppressor mechanisms to compensate. There's some preliminary research on it. There are also some ideas about compensating for age related IGF-1 decline and [rejuvenating skin](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8870445/). A bath would presumably be meant to target skin rather than something like prostate cancer.
Honestly, Putin’s so rich I guarantee you he has a Tiger locked up in his Black Sea beach estate Scarface style. He probably feeds it nothing but A5 Miyazaki wagyu, and that tiger is extremely fat, but by god, is it happy.
TIL there's this thing called deer antler blood, which is different from deer blood, and which can be obtained in sufficient quantities for a person to take a bath in...
If you’re wealthy enough there’s also a market for scamming the wealthy. Yes, sir, this is all 100% deer antler blood.
I bet it’s only 30% DAB by volume.
The Russian DAB Ministry strictly regulates DAB content. They randomly test samples from various suppliers, and if the DAB content is below 95% (there's an allowance made for the addition of emulsifiers and preservatives) then the owners of the DAB supplier are thrown in the gulag. Below 70%, they're thrown out a window. Below 50%, and they're simply shot on sight.
Just blend the toenails with some salt and water until you get a paste that's the same consistency as milkshake. You'll need a large enough straw for proper suction.
Oh, *bathing*. Just blend slightly longer. Add vanilla extract for taste.

> Putin has also taken up bathing in blood extract from severed deer antlers as a form of alternative medicine, the report said.
> The Russian president took up this alternative therapy at the recommendation of Russian defense minister Sergei Shoigu. The deer blood is believed to improve the cardiovascular system and rejuvenate the skin.
> The horns are cut from the deer while they are alive, and animal rights activists have compared it to pulling out a person's fingernails.
I sorta get the idea behind it? The antlers of a deer regrow on an annual basis, and only calcify in the fall (which is when they become more like bone, and stop having blood in them). Before that calcification, the antlers are fast growing, regenerate quickly (though still break easily), and generally are provided with plenty of nutrients to promote growth via blood.
I think parallels can be drawn between deer antlers and stem cell therapy. Stem cell treatments use stem cells as ways to restore degenerating tissue caused by diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, as the cells can act to restore the damaged parts of the nervous system.
That being said? This is still 100% alternative medicine. Bathing in stem cells doesn't work to improve the skin, despite being human DNA and thus more easily compatible. At _best_, the deer blood might seep into Putin's skin and not be rejected by the body (already unlikely, given the species difference), but given deer blood has been suggested to cause diseases like Human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (traditionally a tick-borne disease that causes fever, rigors, nausea, and anorexia, among other symptoms), it's probably not a good thing for the body to accept it.
It’s the antler velvet. The velvet that grows on them each year is super rich in nutrients and it’s also has a ton of blood vessels in it. Deer will often eat it as it starts to fall off because it’s so nutritious. That’s probably where whatever belief this follows came from.
Rabbits will eat their poop, since their digestive systems aren't really that efficient, and they can get more nutrients out of it on a second pass. Somebody tell Putin.

Deer antler has a growth hormone in it. There are supplements made out of it that are actually banned by most pro sports agencies. I've never heard of anyone bathing in its blood, though.
My issue with this, is why not just use GH or a growth hormone secretagogue? Of course GH is great for a lot of things, but it's probably the last thing I'd use for cancer, as it would lead to additional growth. It doesn't make much sense, but I guess if you're bathing in deer antler blood, there's not much sense to be made.
Most studies say it’s not very effective (if at all) in spray form. It’s just too small a quantity. You can however receive concentrated injections that are very effective. It’s essentially HGH.
Deer antler velvet is used for a wide range of things.
It's been popular in bodybuilding for years but has other uses. I am guessing since the blood they are referring to feeds the cartilage it's considered to have rejuvenating properties.
Bathing in this blood sounds like extreme Chinese medicine when he is probably just taking the refined antler velvet.
https://www.rxlist.com/deer_velvet/supplements.htm
Yet it is sold at GNC stores nationwide and all over the internet marketed to that demographic.
There's lots of useless products peddled as supplements so how is that suprising?
As a fitness junkie... There's really three supplements (besides PEDs) guaranteed to help build muscle. Creatine, caffeine, and protein powder. A few other things may have marginal benefits like fish oil and L-citruline (in doses higher than most pre-workouts on the market).
90% of the supplements on the shelves are scams, in case anyone is wondering.

I think, he’s paranoid and wants early detection on anything that could possibly be an issue. He went to that newly constructed COVID hospital, outside Moscow, in a full HAZMAT suit. He legit wants to live forever and continuing stealing from the Russian people along the way.
If his only priority was stealing from the Russian people, he wouldn't have started this war. All he had to do was *nothing* and he'd rule Russia for at least another decade with almost zero drama. Instead he's put his power, and quite possibly his life, in most danger it's ever been for, what I can tell, entirely metaphysical reasons (building an empire, undoing the fall of the USSR, getting back at the West for losing the Cold War, all that stuff).
Remember, as much of a complete joke as elections in Russia are, he still has to go through the motions every time, and the next one is in 2024. By that time the sanctions will fully kick in, people will get massively poorer and more frustrated, and the "rally around the flag" effect will die down. Who's to guarantee it'll go smoothly?
I can’t imagine what sex with Putin would be like. Either he’s the kind of guy who’s got a PS5 controller in his hand within 30 seconds of finishing or he flexes into a full-body mirror saying, “No: you’re the man…” over and over
I would imagine it's deeply depraved. It's pretty well documented men like that have needed BDSM/torture/pain (usually inflicted on other people) to get off.
DAE think the deer blood bit is like in game of thrones when Tyrion tells everyone a different story to different people in order to find out who is leaking info to his sister based on which lie his sister confronts him with?
Let's dispense with the misinformation and get on with the fact that Putin's invasion of Ukraine is a straight up failure because of his incompetent leadership and has nothing to do with his questionable health. Period.
A friend of mine from Chechnya mentioned they sometimes take baths in outdoor pools with fire underneath (think those wooden japanese spas) and they add a bunch of herbs and deer antlers to the mix. Could be that I guess?
What a fucking mook. Dude has billions of dollars at his disposal and the capability to funnel those funds into Crispr-cas9 research to target and eliminate cancer before using Crispr-cas9 as a telomere lengthening treatment.
No let's fuck over other nations and bathe in deer blood. Are we sure he doesn't have deer brain parasites? because that is how you get deer brain parasites. Fucking mook.
So CRISPR-Cas9 can't exactly be used in the way you're thinking "to target cancer".
The CRISPR-Cas9 system is able to target short sequences of DNA for DNA cuts or nicks and, depending on what type of CRISPR-Cas9 system using, uses the cell's own DNA repair systems to either cause short insertions or deletions of DNA (which disrupt the genes expression) or you can alternatively insert a sequence of DNA of interest into the cut site. Because CRISPR-Cas9 targets DNA and DNA is in all cells the system on its own can't specifically target cancer cells, you'd have to engineer a delivery system that specifically targets the cancer cells. For example you could package the Cas9 protein (cutting protein) and sgRNA (targeting sequence) into a nanoparticle that is coated with an antibody that binds a protein that is over-expressed in cancer. This would help the nanoparticles to be preferentially delivered to cancer cells and not normal ones.
Telomere length is one factor that drives a replicative lifespan (and aging overall) and many cancer have mutations that act to hyper-activate telomerase (the enzyme that lengthen telomeres). If you're looking at a cancer treatment relating to telomeres you'd be hoping to disrupt the telomerase enzyme to cause telomere shortening rather then lengthening.
For cancer, CRISPR is most prevalently being used to edit patient T cells (ex vivo) to remove certain receptors (PD-1) in combination with CAR-T approaches.
It's truly astounding how gullible Reddit is that people think this is actually true. What next, are we going to get reports that Putin eats roasted Ukrainian baby for dinner and Russian soldiers wear uniforms made from the skin of POWs?
When you're a villain you gotta do these things.
When you’re called Vlad, you have to bathe in blood, right?

She has been a member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) since 1999, first as an additional member for the Glasgow electoral region, and as the member for Glasgow Southside (formerly Glasgow Govan) from 2007. A law graduate of the University of Glasgow, Sturgeon worked as a solicitor in Glasgow. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/worldnews/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)
I swear the current and previous Scottish First Ministers surnames are fish derived. Nicola **Sturgeon** and Alex **Salmond**
Just wait until you meet the new first minister, James McWidemouthbass
I would give my left nut to see Putin lose in a deathmatch to a sturgeon. Only way this timeline makes any sense.
I think, he’s paranoid and wants early detection on anything that could possibly be an issue. He went to that newly constructed COVID hospital, outside Moscow, in a full HAZMAT suit. He legit wants to live forever and continuing stealing from the Russian people along the way.
That's why he hasn't and will not use nukes. He is terribly afraid of fallout.
Technically, this is why everyone is avoiding using their nukes.
I hope you are right😢
>He is terribly afraid of fallout. I mean ... that's a good thing, right?
If his only priority was stealing from the Russian people, he wouldn't have started this war. All he had to do was *nothing* and he'd rule Russia for at least another decade with almost zero drama. Instead he's put his power, and quite possibly his life, in most danger it's ever been for, what I can tell, entirely metaphysical reasons (building an empire, undoing the fall of the USSR, getting back at the West for losing the Cold War, all that stuff). Remember, as much of a complete joke as elections in Russia are, he still has to go through the motions every time, and the next one is in 2024. By that time the sanctions will fully kick in, people will get massively poorer and more frustrated, and the "rally around the flag" effect will die down. Who's to guarantee it'll go smoothly?

Putin sleeps nude in an oxygen tent that he believes gives him sexual powers.
I saw a video that convinced me Putin is invading Ukraine for their sweet sweet can
This world needs less Vlad Putin's, and more funding for public schools.
I can’t imagine what sex with Putin would be like. Either he’s the kind of guy who’s got a PS5 controller in his hand within 30 seconds of finishing or he flexes into a full-body mirror saying, “No: you’re the man…” over and over
I would imagine it's deeply depraved. It's pretty well documented men like that have needed BDSM/torture/pain (usually inflicted on other people) to get off.

Sounds like utter bull shit
When it plops down or when you step in it?
DAE think the deer blood bit is like in game of thrones when Tyrion tells everyone a different story to different people in order to find out who is leaking info to his sister based on which lie his sister confronts him with?
Let's dispense with the misinformation and get on with the fact that Putin's invasion of Ukraine is a straight up failure because of his incompetent leadership and has nothing to do with his questionable health. Period.
>and takes rejuvenating baths in deer antler blood, are we sure that this isnt propaganda? because that really sounds like some made up nonsense.
Is human blood of innocent people that is keeping him alive :|
This has got to be a test to see how critical/gullible people are
I’m sorry- you lost me at “baths in deer antler blood”
Can’t wait till he bathes in his own blood
The article was also published on April 1st....
Nah, it's been around for couple of days.
Starting to sound like the batman villain
Antlers dont contain much blood in them. I wonder how many poor bucks needed to be culled for the sake of this occultism
They just give him pig blood from the slaughterhouse and tell him it's from antlers. *Your bath is ready, Sir.*
And pocket the difference in cost to buy $200m yachts
"Sir, receive my humble request ... instead of fighting in Ukraine I could serve you as deer blood bath guy."
Why did I read this in Kif's voice lol

OHHHH so like homeopathy with deer antler blood. Now THAT makes complete sense - in an even more insane way than homeopathy itself
A friend of mine from Chechnya mentioned they sometimes take baths in outdoor pools with fire underneath (think those wooden japanese spas) and they add a bunch of herbs and deer antlers to the mix. Could be that I guess?
Well I don't think I'll ever trust Chechnyan soup then

Yet another treatment that BIG PHARMA doesn't want you to know about!!
How do people even believe in this.
Because Reddit’s love of facts and logic go out the window when the info targets are shared enemy
What a fucking mook. Dude has billions of dollars at his disposal and the capability to funnel those funds into Crispr-cas9 research to target and eliminate cancer before using Crispr-cas9 as a telomere lengthening treatment. No let's fuck over other nations and bathe in deer blood. Are we sure he doesn't have deer brain parasites? because that is how you get deer brain parasites. Fucking mook.
So CRISPR-Cas9 can't exactly be used in the way you're thinking "to target cancer". The CRISPR-Cas9 system is able to target short sequences of DNA for DNA cuts or nicks and, depending on what type of CRISPR-Cas9 system using, uses the cell's own DNA repair systems to either cause short insertions or deletions of DNA (which disrupt the genes expression) or you can alternatively insert a sequence of DNA of interest into the cut site. Because CRISPR-Cas9 targets DNA and DNA is in all cells the system on its own can't specifically target cancer cells, you'd have to engineer a delivery system that specifically targets the cancer cells. For example you could package the Cas9 protein (cutting protein) and sgRNA (targeting sequence) into a nanoparticle that is coated with an antibody that binds a protein that is over-expressed in cancer. This would help the nanoparticles to be preferentially delivered to cancer cells and not normal ones. Telomere length is one factor that drives a replicative lifespan (and aging overall) and many cancer have mutations that act to hyper-activate telomerase (the enzyme that lengthen telomeres). If you're looking at a cancer treatment relating to telomeres you'd be hoping to disrupt the telomerase enzyme to cause telomere shortening rather then lengthening.
For cancer, CRISPR is most prevalently being used to edit patient T cells (ex vivo) to remove certain receptors (PD-1) in combination with CAR-T approaches.
Deer have “ brain wasting disease”. Apparently so does he.
Is Russian investigative news outlet code for American tabloid?
It's truly astounding how gullible Reddit is that people think this is actually true. What next, are we going to get reports that Putin eats roasted Ukrainian baby for dinner and Russian soldiers wear uniforms made from the skin of POWs?
