Bogomolets' serum
Associated persons:
Alexandr Alexandrovich Bogomolets
Description:
Antireticular cytotoxic serum based on animal bone marrow, usually from horses. It was supposed to enhance the reticulo-endothelial system, protect against diseases and prolong life. According to Bogomolets, the serum would make it possible to achieve the age of 140 years. This promise made Bogomolez a favourite of Stalin (born 1879), who supported Bogomolets' experimental work lavishly. Fortuntaly, the serum proved to be as much bullshit as horse marrow, and Stalin died in 1953.
