- imaginenore 10y agoWe don't know how it will end up for her. She might live past 150, or she might get horrible cancers all over her body in 5 years. We also don't know if she actually had undergone the treatment, it can simply be a scam.
- atomical 10y agoTruly, anything can be a scam. I think the most disappointing outcome for her will be if she lives out the rest of her life in an average way. Did it work? Didn't it work? Sure, living past 90 would be nice but did her treatment have anything to do with it if that's the case? There are some things we won't know in our lifetimes.
