Russian President Vladimir Putin is so worried that his enemies will see dung, socollect excrement everywhere. It is reported that they are hiring a special team. And whenever he travels.
A 69-year-old influential person relies on an agent of federal protection services to pick up waste and send it back to Russia when it goes abroad, where it can be disposed of individually. increase. French news magazine Paris Match.
Why all the sneakyness and ingenuity. Putin, who claims that many Russian analysts and insidersare suffering from cancer, is nervous about foreign intelligence agencies being able to measure his health by analyzing his waste. ing. His fear is not a big deal. Fecal analysis experts say that stool samples can provide a lot of insight into an individual's overall health and diet, including the treatment the person is receiving.
"If he was receiving chemotherapy, it could show up," said Ben de Lacey Costello, an associate professor of biosensing and diagnosis at the University of the West of Bristol. Mentioned Putin. "It depends on what kind of drug it was and how it was metabolized by the liver and excretory pathways."
Putin has joined a long line allegedly involved in excrement espionage. For example, Soviet Prime Minister Joseph Stalin is said to have obtained a sample of flights from Chairman Mao Zedong during a 10-day visit to the Soviet Union by Chineseleaders.For that trip, the Russians built a special toilet, connected to a search box and sent to the laboratory for further analysis.
In 1999, Israeli Mosad agents used a similar tactic during the funeral of King Hussein of Jordan in Amman. Attended was the sick President of Syria, Hafez al-Assad, who was suffering from diabetesand cancer at the time. Mosad worked with Jordanian responders to move Assad's waste from a hotel room to a special collectiondevice to get clearer details about Assad's health
It is believed that the CIA collected the waste. Both former Russian leader Mikhail Gorbachev and current Ugandan dictator Yoweri Musevenivisited Washington.And in 2006, George W. Bush put his toilet in Vienna, Austria, before his official trip to make sure his waste composition remained state secret. It is reported that it was sent.
While some may consider these measures to the extreme, human excrement has long been regarded as a fairly reliable health indicator. During the COVID-19 pandemic, public health experts performed a wastewater analysisto assess changes in coronavirus infection rates among locals. The science of analyzing individual anatomy is far less accurate, but leaders like Putin have said that their waste can raise concerns if it falls into the wrong hands.
"If you're paranoid and don't want to miss a chance, you'll probably say yes. Someone could collect some health information from the stool, "he said.
However, many poop professors warn that this science remains limited by lack of sufficient data. Today's advanced tests can give scientists clues about a particular health condition and lifestyle of an individual, but "still not used to accurately predict illness without additional clinical information. "No," saidPieter Dorrestein, co-director of the institute. Professor of Metabolomics Medicine and Faculty of Pharmacy, University of California, San Diego.
Still, the fecal sample identifies the disease of the gastrointestinal tract itself fairly accurately. I can do it. Costello has "some good evidence" that inflammatory bowel disease, such as inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome, can alter stool compounds in a manner detectable by fecal analysis. Said.
Stool analysis is used to treat specific cancers such as colon cancer and major drugs such as chemotherapy and radioactive iodine used to treat thyroid cancer (specific types of cancer). It can also be used to identify (putin). It is said to have.
It's poop that can reveal human health Not just inside. But also its overall appearance. “Stool can be evaluated in terms of color, consistency, quantity, shape, odor, etc. to indicate a medical condition,” Costello said. Celiac disease, pancreatitis, and even bile duct cancer can affect the color of excrement.
In other words,Other than the elegant "S-shaped poop" Famous by TV doctors (and now Republican senator candidates) Fecal formation Dr. Mehmet Oz may imply that everything in Putin's body isn't working.
