  • @NuclearEskimo94 Not a particularly gay statement to make. Also, we would have to assume you're male and your screen-name doesn't clearly indicate your gender.

  • For those of you that don't know, that "Pixie Dust" is actually a form of stem cell that has been taken from pig bladder. Check out the National Geographic documentary on "growing a Human Heart" on their Youtube Channel.

  • @maxpowerboard Is there a peer reviewed scientific paper published in any scientific journal about his work on animals?

    Please, if he did why you claim he did, he would have already won Nobel prize in medicine and bean one of the most famous people on the planet.

  • Any one notice that the 2 year old finger nail that has to be trimmed every 2 days (because it is SOOOO young) is as old, thick and yellow as the others?

    The old guy is either a nut job or a con man. The pixie dust is available for purchase I believe. I wonder what percentage the old man gets.

    People are so gullible when they are desperate, they believe anything.

    So, why haven't we seen all the other miracle stories?

    Because there are none, that's why!

    U in on it 2 BuAnas? U a inet con artist?

  • I would like pixie dust magic powder to obtain and how much is the price, be prescribed by a doctor are you doing? Anyone with pixie dust magic powder in gumaehalsu happened? You know where to sell and the hospital would eopeup who knows?

  • All jokes Aside Lorena Bobbit's ex Should Consider This Method to Grow His Manhood Back.

  • for 69 hes looking pretty good, im not gay btw

  • @maxpowerboard Were they animals with already missing limbs?

    If not then screw him. You don't go cutting off animals limbs to see if you can grow them back, It's just sick.

  • No way!

  • Dr Robert Becker was successfully re growing the limbs and organs of animals using by electrically stimulating bone marrow cells to differentiate into a form of adult stem cells which re grew the bone from within by regeneration OVER A DECADE AGO!!. He wanted to experiment on humans but his funding was... PULLED!. You can download his book called the body electric for free and read about his experiments.
