The business of ”YOUNG BLOOD tranfusions” was mentioned in a submission by @Honeybee, seven months ago, as undergoing clinical trials. I just now heard Greg Gutfield on FOX News, joking about Young Blood, the business of prolonging life by transfusing blood from young people into old people, to prolong the life of old people.

This isn’t a joke. It IS happening, without reservation, or any significant opposition as far as I know of. It’s very expensive, lucrative, and legal. One link, from Men’s Health magazine:

People Are Getting Transfusions With Young People's Blood To Fight Aging

Excerpts: In 2016, Dr. Karmazin [Stanford trained Jesse Karmazin, M.D.] founded Ambrosia, a company that will infuse you with one to two liters of a 16- to 25-year-old’s plasma. For up to $12,000. So far, he says, many of his 150 patients report feeling and performing better on just one treatment a year. He admits it sounds TOTALLY CREEPY. We’re just using them [transfusions] for a different purpose.” ...

... The annals of medicine are full of overhyped treatments that work in mice but not men. Indeed, the very first plasma-transfusion trial in humans, done at Stanford and funded by another young-blood start-up, Alkahest, didn’t kill anyone (transfusions have a rare risk of lethal complications) but didn’t find brain antiaging effects. [FAIL, but yet...] Which is why Dr. Karmazin performed a follow-up study. The data—from 81 patients who funded their own treatments—reveals improvement in markers for Alzheimer’s, inflammation, and heart disease, Dr. Karmazin claims. But it won’t be published until 2019 at the earliest. Ambrosia is moving ahead, and has just updated its (Ambrosia)) website, so you can schedule treatments in six cities (Phoenix, LA, San Francisco, Tampa, Omaha, and Houston) and pay via PayPal.

Advertising for young bloodas a BIG money product is dangerous to young people, especially those who need to make a buck.

Maybe there’s potential good in this “science” IF reverence and/or respect for ALL HUMAN LIFE is ALWAYS the FIRST concern**. I found NO guarantees, or concerns about that. That all said, after reading a few more articles, I’m not impressed with the scientific results so far. Others must be, because they’re open for business and taking appointments for “treatment.” With no regard for the safety of teenage blood “donors”.

Relevance to pizzagate - There is obviously great potential for evil in this “science.” Anyone paying attention HERE already knows this. We live in a world filled with narcissists, megalomaniacs, worse... with unlimited $$$ resources. It doesn’t take any imagination to believe those people would accept or ignore ANY horror, to buy even a shaky promise of longer life, no matter how old the blood is, or where it comes from, as long as the “donor” is young, no matter what it took to get their blood.
