Bloomberg News reports that venture capitalist and paypal co-founder
Peter Thiel has a plan to reach 120 years of age [bloomberg.com]. His secret - taking human growth hormone (HGH) every day, a special Paleo diet, and a cure for cancer within ten years. "[HGH] helps maintain muscle mass, so you’re much less likely to get bone injuries, arthritis,” says Thiel. “There’s always a worry that it increases your cancer risk but -- I’m hopeful that we’ll get cancer cured in the next decade.” Human growth hormone also known as somatotropin or somatropin, is a peptide hormone that
stimulates growth, cell reproduction and regeneration in humans [wikipedia.org] and other animals. Thiel says he also follows a Paleo diet, doesn’t eat sugar, drinks red wine and runs regularly. The Paleolithic diet, also popularly referred to as the caveman diet, Stone Age diet and hunter-gatherer diet, is a modern nutritional diet designed to emulate, insofar as possible using modern foods,
the diet of wild plants and animals eaten by humans during the Paleolithic era [wikipedia.org]. Thiel’s Founders Fund is also investing in a number of biotechnology companies to extend human lifespans, including Stem CentRx Inc., which
uses stem cell technology for cancer therapy [stemcentrx.com]. With the 70 plus years remaining him and inspired by "Atlas Shrugged," Thiel also
plans to launch a floating sovereign nation in international waters [dailymail.co.uk], freeing him and like-minded thinkers to live by libertarian ideals with no welfare, looser building codes, no minimum wage, and few restrictions on weapons.
