Bryan Johnson has spent millions trying to reverse the biological ageing process and the new Netflix documentary Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever gives viewers an intimate look into his radical regimen – including taking 111 pills daily, receiving plasma transfusions, fat transfers and even gene therapy trials.
Plasma Transfusions
Plasma is an aqueous portion of blood that contains both procoagulation and anticoagulation factors, fibrinolytic proteins, albumin, immunoglobulins and other essential proteins. Plasma can be collected either directly from whole blood or separated through an apheresis procedure separating it out from other parts. Once collected it can either be frozen and used as transfusion therapy; or alternatively it can be thawed to boost its concentration of clotting factors and proteins and then refrozen for transfusion – usually Thawed plasma offers greater concentrations of both than whole blood does so it should be the preferred choice when replacing coagulation factor replacement therapy is needed.
Plasma transfusions are used primarily to treat bleeding caused by deficient levels of coagulation factors and prevent further hemorrhaging (prophylactic transfusion). They may also provide natural anticoagulants like protein C for those unable to produce it due to illness or treatment; it doesn’t carry the risk of transmitting infections like Hepatitis or Cytomegalovirus that could occur with other blood products.
Young plasma infusions can be administered into specific joints to address pain and inflammation there, or intravenously for more generalized benefits throughout the body. When selecting an experienced provider in young plasma therapy, make sure they can help guide you through its potential complexities and risks effectively.
Supplements
Tech billionaire Bryan Johnson has taken extreme measures in his pursuit of reverse aging. At 47, this former CEO of payment processing company Braintree (acquired by PayPal in 2013) has spent millions on an elaborate wellness regimen including swapping his blood with young plasma, injecting himself with fat transfers and taking more than 50 pills every day – just some of his methods. Recently he’s taken controversial drugs like rapamycin – typically prescribed to transplant recipients to prevent rejection, but used off-label to slow aging processes as an additional measure – in hopes that slowing it may delay or extend life by decades – potentially prolonging it!
Johnson has made waves for his attempts at slowing biological aging through life-extending experiments featured in the Netflix documentary Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants To Live Forever. According to him, taking drugs containing young plasma transfusions from his son has reduced his biological age to that of an 18 year-old; however, more recently he has discontinued receiving this therapy due to no results being seen from it.
Science may sound futuristic, but the technology behind supplements like this one is grounded in reality. Researchers have demonstrated how certain vitamins and minerals can support healthy cells while even helping reverse some damage caused to them by stress, including antioxidants like Vitamin C, omega-3 fatty acids, and MSM (methylsulfonylmethane), which is a type of sulfur compound.
MSM supplementation may help reverse cellular damage caused by oxidation and repair DNA that has become damaged due to environmental or food toxins, potentially leading to chronic diseases including cancer. MSM-rich supplements may reverse this damage and restore optimal body functioning.
Genetic Therapy
Genetic therapy is one of the most promising strategies to combat aging. This therapy involves replacing an unhealthy gene or inserting one via pills or injections; its success has been demonstrated with treating both inherited conditions such as diabetes and cancer as well as rare orphan diseases.
Deigin’s startup aims to take genetic therapy one step further by developing “gene editing”. Their primary focus is altering genes that regulate cell maintenance; their first target being heart disease as it becomes increasingly common as we age – gene therapy would strengthen your body’s capacity for repair after experiencing heart attacks or any cellular damage from heart diseases.
Deigin predicts that gene therapies will become less expensive as clinical trials progress, but is quick to point out they won’t prevent us from dying outright and there are ethical considerations, including some individuals perceiving gene doping as interfering with nature or challenging God’s will, while some religious people have existential reservations about lengthening life expectancies. Still, many longevity activists remain optimistic.
