Russian despot Vladimir Putin had 35 secret meetings with a cancer doctor – and swam in antler blood, a report said Friday. The research report in the Russian magazine The Project has been tracking the medical treatment received by 69-year-old Putin since he became president of Russia a decade ago – and raises serious questions about his health. “As he grows older, health and longevity concerns have consumed both the president, who has shown interest in even unconventional medicine, despite the fact that many members of his family, including those previously unknown, are doctors,” the report said. . For example, Putin is said to be bathing in the blood of deer slaughtered in the spring when the horns are “soft and full of blood,” the report said. These so-called “antler baths” are a practice of natural medicine in the Altai Krai of Russia, which borders Kazakhstan and Mongolia. Putin has reportedly traveled there several times for a horned bath. In fact, it seems that a trend has started. “The elites quickly spotted Putin’s new hobby,” The Project reported. “Antlers and other ways to expand one’s youth quickly became popular among officials.” Russian President Vladimir Putin is apparently immersed in the blood of deer antlers to combat his aging problems.

Crossing public records with the well-known disappearances of Putin from public life and his travels to his dacha, or his escape to his home in Sochi, the report presents a picture of a leader being treated for a chronic illness. “The Project can say with certainty that in at least two cases, Putin underwent either surgery or a very serious operation, most likely in his back area,” the report said. Putin talks to Kommunarka Hospital chief Denis Protsenko about coronavirus on March 23, 2020.

Selivanov has visited the Russian leader 35 times in four years, The Project reported. The report states that the Russian president secretly underwent additional surgery last fall and adds that “he did not appear in public for the whole of September. “In medical circles, it is believed that the president was undergoing a complex procedure related to some kind of thyroid disease during this period,” the report said. Dmitry Peshkov, the Kremlin’s official spokesman, has reportedly rejected any suggestion that Putin has cancer.
