There's a reason why no one takes Russian science and engineering seriously. They gave the world this stupid article and the Yugo.

Well, Penicillin is derived from bacteria, a fungus.
Lol. Derived from bacteria, a fungus? Da hell?
Also, no. This isn't even possible. Life isn't like your X-men comic. That person is not a scientist either. OP you need to read a lot more about how bacteria interacts with the human body. Stop reading retarded Russian propaganda. You do realize Russia thinks they're in the middle of the Cold War again, right? And no one cares except their incompetent bankrupt government? Even the Russian people are starting to realize what's going on here. Ffs, get with it and expect a lot more stupid crap like this to come from that part of the world. There's a reason why no one takes Russian science and engineering seriously. They gave the world this stupid article and the Yugo.
Surely you can feel the bs when someone says they injected themselves with an ancient bacteria and acquired superpowers. Come on man...
Penicillin was discovered in 1928 by Scottish scientist Alexander Fleming.[3] People began using it to treat infections in 1942.[4] There are several enhanced penicillin families which are effective against additional bacteria; these include the antistaphylococcal penicillins, aminopenicillins and the antipseudomonal penicillins. They are derived from Penicillium fungi.[5

While I find the prospects of something like this really cool...
The scientist now claims to have been free of illness for two years following his injection.
He said: “I started to work longer, I’ve never had a flu for the last two years.
I haven't even had a cold for the last two years, let alone a flu.
Beer and cheese burgers seem to be the common denominator.

So when a story like this comes up, I try to keep an open mind. Ancient bacteria discovered in thawing permafrost sounds like the stuff of movies.

Sounds like something out of a movie.. 'Russian scientist injects with ancient bacteria, now Tring to take over the world' Cue the spiderman type hero..
Or even worse planet of the apes/I am legend /28 days later scenario..
Or Maybe another experiment for putins super soldiers..
Watch this space..

There's a similar X-Files episode in season 1 in which an ancient organism from miles beneath the ice turns people angry and paranoid. I do wonder if journalists/people watch some of these sci-fi programmes and make a bit of money off inventing a slightly different story from it.
The Daily Express are becoming famous for their horribly inaccurate sources.
Buried thousands of feet under Summit, the highest point on Greenland's ice sheet, is a soil born before humans ever walked on Earth. The 2.7-million-year-old silt is a remnant of the verdant tundra that covered Greenland before it was entombed in ice, researchers report today (April 17) in the journal Science. Pollen and plant DNA buried in the seafloor offshore of Greenland also suggest the island once had tundra and patchy forest, similar to today's high Arctic. The new findings hint that at Summit, the tundra landscape was open to the sky for 200,000 years to 1 million years before ice covered it.

..placebo effect?
Well if it is, but yet it affects you in a positive way, then who CARES what it's called. I don't.
I have experienced positive health benefits with the amanita muscaria.

Well, Penicillin is derived from bacteria, a fungus. Mycelium is the largest living organism is the world and when certain strains flower they demonstrate a lot of benefits not normally accepted in western medicine.
Psilocybe cubensis is being studied more in depth currently to alleviate depression and anxiety, when a lot of us have known its benefits for a while now.
Some believe that "Mana", mentioned in many ancient cultures is actually a mushroom. Mycology is a hobby of mine but I don't have any background in it, just a general belief that nature provides us with everything we need to live a better life.
