Death-Row Pharmacist
Concocts Solution
To Human Aging
Dr. Lovoi’s Bimini Cosmetics Boasts That,
“The secret to youthful skin has been discovered!”
A
Houston-area pharmacist who worked for years to devise concoctions to stop human aging dead
in its tracks may have discovered the ultimate solution to this age-old problem. Dr. Jasper Lavoi,
who founded the anti-aging Bimini Cosmetics, also heads the Woodlands Compounding
Pharmacy, which recently supplied the nation’s busiest death row with pentobarbital for lethal injections.
“Everyone wants beautiful, youthful, healthy looking skin,” says the Bimini Cosmetics website, “and
now with Bimini Cosmetics…that goal is within reach.” Last week the federal government officially
confirmed this claim. Ruling Saturday on the constitutionality of using Dr. Lavoi’s pentobarbital to
execute triple-murderer Michael Yowell, U.S. District Judge Lynn Hughes held that Lovoi’s
“Pentobarbital will kill Yowell in five to eighteen minutes,” arresting the human aging process—once and
for all.
