James, Have contemplated this very thing (41 male here). Not sure of the legality here in New Zealand though. Would like to hear where you are with this, and possibly see your research to keep from re-inventing the wheel. Message me through here and I'll forward an email address if you're interested in sharing. Don

Just a few thoughts... This whole plan relies on merely introducing the specific components into the blood stream being enough to rejuvenate the body as you're describing. I assume you've thought of that so I'll also assume that you wouldn't be suggesting such an idea if that wasn't the case. But I thought I should mention it just in case. Personally I'd think that the sooner you got started with such a thing the better. I assume the ultimate goal is to avoid "old age death" just as much as "old age frailty". As I'm sure you're aware there's. It really a single cause of death at old age, rather various parts of the body wear down and become more susceptible to any number of conditions and diseases that could also affect a healthy person in their 20s or 30s. I've done a bit of research myself lately (Wikipedia mostly) and it appears that typical "aging" (both the appearance and the frailty) is typically influenced by metabolism. Now I'm sure that (now that I've said that at least) you're thinking, "Why, yes. If you were to freeze someone they would stop aging." But my suggestion is that other things such as eating only as necessary, and not frequently exerting oneself, could also increase "youthfulness". Not just because of health benefits of not putting stress on the body or from not eating junk food, but also because of the resulting lower metabolism. I happen to be in your "target" range by the way. Early 20s. Not that I'm suggesting I could be a donor for your project. But I am interested in potential results, I figure the earlier one starts, the longer the treatment would be affective. (Not trying to avoid helping by the way, I'd probably consider helping if I were closer geographically, I don't figure shipping blood across the Atlantic would be feasible, or possibly legal.)

I've been following this for a while, mostly news articles from scientific magazines, basically you want to become a vampire. suck the blood out out of the young and inject it into yourself? haven't you Gen X'ers done enough to us millenials? you already destroy the global economy and housing market and now you're literally after our youth? whats nexts?!just kidding.it is an interesting subject, you have to use people who are 25 or younger. im 24, i'll be a donor... for a price. (these student loans don't pay themselves!)
-
genxers can afford to pay for this :P
-
Never even heard the term "Gen X" before. Interesting. Anyways, yeah... probably wouldn't donate myself, but I would be interested in how significantly more effective this could be if you started as soon as leaving the optimal "donor age", that is, when turning like 26 or so, if you started the treatments then... Just speculating. Personally I'd sooner pursue some sort of machine based solution, just because I feel machines and technology are much more reliable and predictable than something like a blood transfusion. But I'd be open to considering both myself.

I read about this in the news some weeks ago and now i must say your post makes me think.I'm 52 and have 2 teenagers at home within the "golden age bracket".How does one go about giving his/her plasma ? Or should i just take care of that while they sleep ? LOL.Not that i want to sell their plasma, i'm too selfish for that, i just want it for myself. Hey ! it's my kids.We don't have to care about blood type or other compatibility factors ?

thanks James, interesting.I will discuss this with my doctor at my next check up, he has an opened mind.Maybe i missed that part: if it works, how long does the effect last ? One has to re-do the transfusion every month ? year ?
-
I love the idea of rejuvenation/anti-aging/living forever. I really want to see it realized and be able to live for an exceptionally long time and complete all the things that I want to complete. Anyways I'd love to hear more about how this goes and the outcome.I would be willing to donate some plasma/blood (I'm in the range) but I'm a little far away geographically (across the pond). Well I hope you get some plasma and run the experiment, remember to update us on the outcome. I will be excited to see it.

@JamesX I am attempting my dad into giving this a go. I doubt I will be successful but he is really hating going grey and losing hair so that might be a selling point. I wonder if it would have any effect on hair color?

Things to keep in mind also, the procedure is obviously like many things not risk free: Adverse Effects of Plasma Transfusion: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3356109/ Article is from 2012 and I guess we better understand and control these effects. Interesting to read that infections is not the main factor and are actually rare.

If you were exceedingly rich I see not reason someone wouldn't give that startup a shot. If you notice any good effects you could just go on a plan for like 4 times a year or something. And people say that rich people don't have magic anti-aging drugs... :)

To reverse plasma tissues doctors give vaccines to the patients and forking new tissues at the place of dead tissue. the doctors keep safe that vaccine in the solar vaccine refrigerator which are made to keep vaccine.

I spoke at length by phone with the med student that is heading up this so-called clinical trial of young plasma transfusions. the company is ambrosia https://www.ambrosiaplasma.com/. In reality they charge $8000 to be in the "trial" which is your way of getting something like 2 or 3 transfusions of young plasma, not whole blood, transfusions. So far he says they have 40 clients. They also provide a battery of blood tests before and after. It's an interesting proof of concept but it seems to me the transfusions they do are too few and too close together. If I knew of an easy inexpensive way to screen blood very quickly I'd be more than willing to pay some 19 year olds for blood donations to try it for a 6-month, 4-transfusion stint and compare biomarkers before and after. Would love to find other serious folks to join me.

popi, what type of panel(s) would such a DIY blood screen require? There must be some legislation concerning this that regulates blood bank activity.
-
not sure i understand the question. Do you mean what type of screening would you run the blood through if you got the blood yourself from someone? I imagine it would be the same screening that blood banks do for donated blood. I'm sure there is a standard for that. My question is how you get blood that you have collected through that process. Does any private blood bank or similar offer that as a service OR can one obtain the screening kits and do that oneself ?
-
If anyone here is interested in exploring doing this oneself, safely and correctly, please contact me. [email protected]

I was just suggesting that you look into the laws that apply to blood banks or policy documents developed by the banks themselves to adhere to..
