An American businessman spent several million dollars annually on full-body diagnostics to prevent any illness, but nature has its own plans. You can't fool it.





American businessman Brian Johnson, known as the world's most famous biohacker, whose goal is to live forever, has been diagnosed with an incurable disease. The 47-year-old, who boasted of having the body and health of an 18-year-old, was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease.

"Bad news #1: I have an autoimmune disease. My stomach is devouring itself. Bad news #2: This happens to 2-5% of people. Most likely, it affects more, because the disease is often silent. It's called autoimmune gastritis (AIG)," the biohacker wrote.

Autoimmune gastritis is reportedly a rare inflammatory disease in which the body's antibodies attack the cells lining the stomach, particularly targeting those that produce hydrochloric acid. The disease leads to gradual destruction of the stomach, impairing the absorption of vitamin B12 and iron, significantly increasing the risk of anemia and stomach cancer.

In the early stages, the disease is asymptomatic. This is likely why Johnson's $2 million annual spending on full-body tests and analyses to prevent the onset of any disease hasn't helped.



Johnson noted that modern medicine is unable to fully treat autoimmune gastritis, limiting therapy to correcting vitamin B12 and iron deficiencies and monitoring the condition of the gastric mucosa. But the leading biohacker is undeterred and intends to self-heal using his own treatment methods and experimental technologies.

As part of the Blueprint project, Brian Johnson is known to take dozens of medications daily, adheres to a strict vegan diet, and constantly monitors his vital signs. According to media reports, he previously gained notoriety for an experiment involving transfusing his son's blood plasma, but later abandoned the procedure after finding no evidence of its effectiveness.
