"Kid Hulk"

In Michigan, 3 year old Liam (sp) has a rare genetic condition which gives him extreme muscular strength. In this video Foxnews refers to him as a little hulk. Apparently he is very strong and can do things which involve muscles that most men cannot do. At just two days old he could stand! At three he is lifting up furniture and eating six whole meals a day. This kid even has a 6-pack that is well defined. Aside from his defined abs, he is not over weight nor does he look different from kids who do not have this Myostatin related Muscletrophy.

There have only been 100 recorded cases of people with this genetic condition. It was first discovered in beef cattle mice in the 90s. The first human case was brought up in 2000, but the first recorded case in medical literature wasn’t available until 2004.

By studying his condition, scientist might be able to mimic his condition and create a drug that can be at the aid with people who suffer from muscle wasting disorders. Dr. Katrina Firlick stated that muscular wasting is most commonly seen in cancer, aids, and even aging, but if there was a drug that could mimic Myostatin related Muscletrophy we could furthermore advance in our health.

The obvious is that in turn, if the drug were developed, there will be a possibility that it could also be abused. Steroids, for example, can only a lot for 10-15 percent more muscular growth, but the odds are still there.

Quite frankly, I think the human body is amazing, and until today, I didn’t know “hulk” capabilities were even possible. I just wish this kind of news along with other health updates were made more available for the public eye.

Shows just how creative our God is and that anything is possible.
