Prepare to be slightly ill... (Wizbang Pop!)

This image shows what a little hard work (and a few steroids) can do if you put your mind to something.

Dr Jeffrey Life - yes, that's really his name - may be eligible to draw his pension and what hair he has left is white. But take a look at the 69-year-old's body and it looks like it belongs to that of a 30-year-old.

Dr Life has become the pin-up boy for the Cenegenics Medical Institute, a Las Vegas-based clinic that specialises in 'age management'.

Patients are put on a strict weight loss program that includes dieting, exercise and daily injections of growth hormone. Though some research claims that growth hormone injections cause cancer, nerve pain, elevated cholesterol and even diabetes.

Even so, Dr Life, now the chief medical officer at Cenegenics, maintains the procedure is safe.

'Within the next ten years, maybe less, this is going to be thought of as mainstream medicine preventing disease, slowing the ageing process, preventing people from losing their ability to take care of themselves when they get older and ending up in nursing homes,' Dr Life said.

You know, I'm 58 y.o., and during some down- time clicked in "Reinvent yourself."
By following numerous links I came across this guy. Not that anyone asked, but what would impress me is that he said he could do what, not look like, Clarence Bass did as he moved into his 70's at the Cooper Clinic.
So the guy looks like he's in his 20's? OK but if he cannot do a treadmill for his age bracket, so what?
Comments, feedback, brickbats, pls. John

If he couldn't do a treadmill he wouldn't look like that. HGH isn't a miracle drug. He has to bust his you know what to look that way. The HGH helps give him the ability to do it, but it won't do the work for him.

Roids. Nice. You think looking like that makes you live longer? ha! Make more unsubstantiated
claims.

So you can pick up teen girls if you get a hairpiece, now that I can buy (and with the body courtesy of ROIDS).

I admit, it does look good. Snailrider's bod also looks good and he don't use steroids. Now if anyone can show me how to make my female body look like it did when I was 22 ... contact me. I haven't found a way to defy gravity ... if you know what I mean.

I just wanted to say that it is not photoshop.
Look at the skin just under his chest muscles, loose in folds, the skin hanging just over his jeans at the waist, loose, just as most older men and women do at his age. He looks great! It was hard work that helped get him looking like that. Go Grandpa!!
