Could Blood Plasma Be The Fountain Of Youth?
CBS SF ^ | 11/6/2017 | CBS SF

Posted on 11/07/2017 6:18:54 AM PST by mtrott

Blood has always been known as “the Gift of Life” and a growing number of Bay Area researchers are currently trying to isolate a factor in blood that may turn back the hands of time.

“We don’t know how soon we’re going to defeat aging,” proclaimed Aubrey de Grey. “We should be able to keep people truly in a youthful state of health, no matter how long they live and that means the risk of death will not rise.”

I have to say, although this is perhaps an exercise in futility and merely a case of wishful thinking, this is an extremely intriguing approach. Anybody have any evidence to support or refute these techniques?

It’s a sad commentary on the current state of affairs when my first thought was “oh great, yet another reason for depraved billionaires to kidnap kids.”

I’ve been reading about the regenerative powers of youthful blood transfusions over the last 2 years or so.

During the 2016 election, Lame Cherry was reporting that Hillary was getting such transfusions regularly.

The trouble is, that the transfusions work for a short time, then the body breaks it down and you need a refill.

Perhaps that why Hillary seemed to have a few very good days, followed by days of deterioration.

Sounds like a real-life version of a vampire.

I was joking with one of my kids about this.

I said, “You sucked the life out of us for years. Now you can give back.”

He replied, “WTF Dad... are you some kinda vampire?”

** when my first thought was “oh great, yet another reason for depraved billionaires to kidnap kids. **

Funny, I thought in the past tense..that they already are.

The greatest serial killer in history was Hungarian aristocrat Elizabeth Báthory. She killed young women and girls and took baths and drank their blood in the hope of staying young.

A year or so ago I read something about Tom Brady and how he stays in football shape so late in his career and there was some mention of a secret process (some company in Germany involved somehow, as I recall) involving blood in some way. I wonder if this is related.

Maybe Kolchak’s baddie The Night Strangler was on the right track. He was using whole blood I think.

Yeah, take blood from kids (or even aborted babies) so rich old guys
can pay (at $8000 a shot) to be kept alive a bit longer (except
they need more and more treatments).

And that assumes the process works.

I know a lot of people don’t believe the bible, but it specifically says “Life is in the Blood”.

I can’t imagine the ghoulish mindset behind it.

Blood is only as good as the body it is put into.

And after the flood one of the series of commandments was that you will not murder and you were not to drink blood.

Add to that that along with a flood story every civilization has vampires and you have something to make you go, "huh."

Kinda ghoulish! draining the blood out of young people so old, decrepit degenerates like soros and larry flynt can feel younger.
How long before one of them has babies aborted specifically for that purpose? or is already being done?

That’s pretty much what I told him.

I also pointed out that unlike whole blood, plasma extraction can be carried out much more frequently (with return of the centrifuged cells), as demonstrated by Clinton’s Arkansas prison operation.

I have heard that George Soros has regular transfusions with young people’s blood to bolster his aging body.

But the Bible says a man cannot add an hour to his life.

I suspect it makes him feel better, but his judgement day looms never the less.

Bathory was responsible for the death of more than 700 young women. She was eventually found out and murdered by the peasants.
