Default Yound blood transfusion

The evidence of rejuvenation is only shown in mice. Currently a human trial using this for Alzheimer, results expected soon.

First results from human young blood rejuvenation trial expected | New Scientist

A company called Ambriosa has started a trial for anyone above 35. If by the end of the year I do not see improvement I might jump on this boat.

Google

Since blood transfusion are low risk (that's why the trial was approved quickly for healthy individual) that's something to think about I think....

Clearly I do not have any medical backing for this, except from mice. The results show rejuvenation of the brain (memory and so on).

Sorry for the sloppy post but I thought some of you would be interested to learn about this more, if standard therapies failed.

There is a specific issue in Alzheimer's that is degenerative. PCS is not similar. The article says : "When Wyss-Coray’s team injected young human blood into old mice he says they saw “astounding effects”. Cross species transfusion sounds odd. It could be that human blood is the difference. They do not say what happens when they transfuse middle age human blood in mice.

Keep in mind that there have been many studies of therapies, drugs, etc that show improvement but those improvements are lost within weeks of ending the treatment/drug. I can't imagine needing a 2 unit blood transfusion ever 6 weeks to keep the improvement.

Will they stick a sticker on your forehead that says: Next transfusion due in 6 weeks or 1500 miles, whichever comes first ?

Many of these studies are really designed to identify a difference then they try to find a patentable drug that can cause the same effect.

Blood doping has been going on for decades. It is an expensive treatment.
