If you have a look on Ben Greenfield ’s personal website , it will separate you that he is a personal trainer , holistic nutritionist , and health expert , but given his former stunt , he might need to retract that last plane section .
Greenfield is also one of a growing number of biohackers : a radical of the great unwashed who are not content to sit and hold off quietly for the scientific community of interests to open up medical routine to the public after days of mental test and regulative process . They are willing to put their own health and safety on the channel – as long as it grants them a fast track to the tardy science has to bid .
Some biohackers quiz outexperimental medical treatments . Greenfield ’s ambitiousness is far more banal . He wants a bigger phallus .
He toldGizmodo : “ I wanted to go from good to great , and to get a bigger pecker . ”
In his latesteffort to achieve this lofty ambition , Greenfield had his own stem cell shoot into his penis during a subprogram at Floridian biotech faculty , US Stem Cell , last November .
Relevant side note : The clinic receivedbad presslast year after three patients submit part in an unproven stem cellular telephone therapy went blind . They also receivedwarnings from the Food and Drug Agency ( FDA)concerning “ significant deviations ” .
Earlier this month , Greenfield and Kristin Comella , Chief Science Officer at US Stem Cell , hold a Q & A session via webinar to excuse the discourse to a curious hearing .
The process began by extracting theme cells in Greenfield ’s adipose tissue cells . These were then injected direct into his phallus .
“ You do n’t feel a thing other than a little bit of pressure , ” he assured viewers .
But did the off-the-wall experiment work ?
If you take Greenfield ’s word for it , yes . Yes , it did .
“ With penis shot … it took about 3 to 4 Clarence Day to kick in and the chief thing I detect were significant growth in erectile function , a substantial gain in size in what we call ' at rest , ' better coming , better blood flow – the anatomical manifestation can not be deny , " the personal trainer revealed in astatement .
Though when ask byGizmodohad he measured his penis to confirm the size change , he admitted : “ I have n’t take out a ruler ” .
There is very good rationality to continue skeptical . Yes , there has beensome researchto indicate theme cellular telephone can assist men suffering from cavernous dysfunction but trial are still in the early stages and there is diddly squat to say root cells would have any essence on a healthy penis . There is also the risk of transmission and unknown side effect to consider , all for a process that in all probability wo n’t do very much .
But when it comes to " improve " their manhood , whether it’ssizeorcolor , there seems very slight some men wo n’t try .
