    In the early 1900’s, a popular for fix the symptoms of aging was directly implanting animal testicles. Not saying that’s what Thiel’s currently doing, but whatever he is doing seems to be working just as well.

                He was one of the early adopters of using radio to drum up business. When the US started cracking down, he went over to Mexico and developed high-powered “border blasters” that could reach the US.

                If it wasn’t for the medical malpractice, I’d find him oddly inspirational.

            i only read the wiki that i linked, it didn’t mention deaths; it does say the procedure involved very thin slices of monkey testes that were apparently absorbed when grafted. 🤷
