Theo Ratliff endorses "Youngevity" products on the Alex Jones show

So I'm confused. Silencer, do you think the nutrients are the primary reason he had a long career in the NBA and posted this so we could all learn about and benefit from them?

It's not me that said vitamins and minerals were the primary reason he added 10 extra years to his career, this was him.
In the interview, he says exactly that.

Now you can say it's because he's endorsing the product or whatever, but Ratliff is the one making these claims.

It's been well documented that our bodies are well more deficient in nutrients than they were 30 to 40 years ago.
Most of our food has been grown on the same land for so long (by big agriculture), that the nutrients just aren't there anymore.
 
There is a large sub-culture of people who try combinations of supplements in hopes of extending their lives. There are many animal studies that show this or that compound extending the average life span of mice by a statistically significant margin. The latest is C60 nanoparticles that actually showed a massive increase. One notable life-extensionist is Ray Kurtzweil. He's a world-famous engineer and inventor, and he writes futurist books that spawned a religion named Transhumanism. Kurtzweil takes hundreds of supplements each day.

In summary, it is not shocking that an athlete took a bunch of vitamins in hopes of longevity. The allure of immortality is strong, and people are willing to risk their lives consuming unproven and often dangerous chemicals in hope of living longer. But I think meaningful human life extension is still decades away.

So I should hold off on the order I have set-up with TheSilencer? I want to live forever and figure it's never too early to start.

People know they're not risking their lives, considering these products have the exact amount of nutrients that the almighty FDA recommends.
Except the FDA only approves drugs that have patents, that's just how they roll.

The kind of life extension technologies you're talking about are already available to the elite.
The general public are always 25 to 30 years behind them when it comes to general technology.
 
The FDA doesn't validate products that haven't undergone a rigorous amount of clinical testing that validates the claims. What villains.

Right, because tens of tousands of years of plant life growing didn't deplete the soil, just the last 40 years. Even though the soil gets replenished of minerals (by fertilizer and by rain), and vitamins are chemicals tht plants produce themselves, there is some other sort of nutrient for humans that is being diminished.

Exactly.
"Big Agra" doesn't use fertilizer, they just lean on GMO's.

Anyone that knows anything about farming will tell you that you have switch up the places you farm every couple years.
But wait..... they don't have to do this because they just change the genetic make up of the vegetable in order to suit there needs.
Sounds pretty healthy for our genetic make up.

I'd look for a study One Brow, but those studies don't exist in the long term yet.
