Exchange blood to prolong life? For the sake of longevity, more than 600 rich people in Silicon Valley participated in the exchange blood experiment

In ancient cultures, blood is a mysterious liquid in the human body. It represents the most powerful vitality and was once thought to be able to cure various diseases through exchange blood.

Gladiators in the ancient Roman Colosseum fell to the ground bleeding, and epilepsy patients would frantically drink the blood from their wounds. Emperor Xianfeng of the Qing Dynasty asked his ministers to donate live deer in order to improve their fitness, so as to ensure that they could drink fresh deer blood in time. The “human blood steamed bread” described by Lu Xun also reflects that some people in the folk may believe that human blood can cure tuberculosis.

one. Research confirms that young blood can regenerate “youthful vitality”

The therapeutic effect of exchange blood may seem ignorant, but multiple scientific studies have found that young blood can indeed bring special effects.

In May 2020, a scientific research team from the University of California in the United States said that by injecting 6 middle-aged mice 8 times with young plasma, the test period was 155 days. Converting human age, that is, reversing aging from 50 years old to 25 years old, 25 years younger.

In 2011, the international journal “Nature” pointed out that by injecting young blood into old animals, it can improve the brain’s learning and memory ability, reverse the aging effect, and “rejuvenate” to achieve a youthful state.

Cell-free serum was collected from 2-month-old mice and injected into 18-month-old mice in eight divided doses over a one-month period. Put them in a water maze and test whether they can remember the location of a hidden platform.

It turned out that the older mice did almost as well as the younger mice, with the untreated mice making a lot of errors and swimming into dead ends in their attempts to find them.

In 2021, the “Nature Aging” study stated that the mechanism of exchange blood prolonging lifespan may be related to the extracellular vesicles circulating in the blood. The vesicles carry the synthetic instructions of “longevity proteins”, and aging will change the vesicles, making this vesicles. Command invalid.

two. For the sake of longevity, more than 600 rich people in Silicon Valley participated in the exchange blood experiment

The results of the reversal of aging brought about by the blood exchange experiment are amazing, but the theory behind this has not formed a unified conclusion, but it still attracts the world’s richest people willing to try “crazy blood exchange” in order to “rejuvenate”.

It is understood that Peter Thiel, the founder of PayPal, an American billionaire, spends $40,000 a quarter to deliver some fresh blood of 18-year-olds just to be able to live to 120 years old. Known as the “Vampire of Silicon Valley”.

As a result, Ambrosia, a medical company specializing in blood exchange services, was established in Silicon Valley to obtain fresh blood from young people aged 16-25 at a price of $8,000 per liter, filter out red blood cells, and then inject it into middle-aged and elderly customers. More than 600 wealthy people have already participated in the experiment.

But in 2019, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned that the therapy’s benefits were unproven and that the practice could be harmful.

3. The international journal “nature” selected “7 rigorous anti-aging methods”

Compared with the crazy longevity method of the rich in Silicon Valley, “Nature” selected 7 relatively more rigorous anti-aging strategies by reviewing the century-old history of anti-aging and a series of review articles.

Among them, two point to GeNAD at the same time, and the other methods are calorie restriction, rapamycin, senolytics (senescent cell lysing agent), metformin, and exercise.

Regarding GeNAD (one of vitamin B3 derivatives), it can be traced back to 2013. The Harvard University David Sinclair team used NAD+ precursor substances for 22-month-old mice for a week, and the key indicators of aging in mice returned to 6 months of age. It is equivalent to the reversal of human beings from 60 years old to 20 years old, and life expectancy has been extended by 30%.

In an exclusive interview with the magazine, Professor Sinclair said that he would consume 500 mg every morning, and DNA methylation and telomere length tests showed that his biological age was reduced by 18.6 years.

Compared with the 600 wealthy people who are pursuing exchange blood to achieve the goal of longevity, the transformation of biotechnology NAD+ results is more worthy of the trust of high-net-worth individuals, and the audience of the implemented products is significantly wider.

Taking the domestic top market brand “Novis NAD+” as an example, its consumption data released by JD. Consumer consumption, the repurchase rate reached 84%.

After an independent market test, Novus NAD+ has indeed achieved satisfactory results: 30.1% of people said they were energetic, 20.3% said their memory was significantly improved, and 17.8% said their sleep quality was better…Anti-fatigue, skin and hair quality , white hair and other problems have been significantly improved.

Fourth, the field of aging continues to break through new technologies, and the century-old era is just around the corner

It is estimated that the number of elderly people over 60 years old in China will reach 300 million (during the 14th Five-Year Plan period). Entering a moderately aging society will inevitably lead people to explore how to prolong their life cycle and how to age healthily.

In this regard, capitalists have long targeted the market gap in aging resistance technology services. The 92-year-old real estate richest man Li took the lead in choosing NAD+ biological anti-aging substances for his own use and investing 170 million yuan.

In 2019, the domestic introduction of “Novis NAD+” has been favored by capitalists, and was invited by Kaidong. The product was officially purchased and sold, and it was even listed in the top 1 of Kaidong’s biological food nutritional supplements. The supply was once in short supply and the supply was cut off.

Generally speaking, although there are still many limitations in the research and development of anti-aging strategies and substances, the progress of human beings in this field in recent years is worthy of recognition. Perhaps in the future, we will be able to find truly effective and feasible strategies for life extension.
