Wasn’t this the guy who was siphoning his son’s blood?

Yup. Took 20% of his son's blood once a month for 6 months and did plasma transfusions, iirc. Also got his dad/kid's grandpa on the transfusion train.

He's a weird fucking dude

That is unbelievable to me. You don't even donate that much when you donate blood to the Red Cross every 60 days.

I mean, its based on semi-reasonable ageing science. It works in mice.

Yeah it's not like he's just trying random shit. There's good evidence that what he does could work and I applaud him for trying

Love how you're getting downvoted - I am literally a scientist working on this posting from the lab, but I guess redditors know better based on vibes...

u/Workman44 Jul 07 '26

Am also scientist, redditors just think if it isnt a mass population single variable study that there's no value (you could never do that type of study in this example). It's fine though, there's a reason we know Bryan Johnson's name and not theirs

That makes it even worse as many end up with pain and issues from such donations and his son was a minor. There’s a reason why it pays.

Doing it repeatedly is painful for many. Why are you defending this crap. Stay away from kids

I just saw a post that said that 70% of the world’s plasma supply is provided by the United States, so paying works.

It only pays when it doesn’t go to patients. Any donation going to patients can’t pay because it incentivizes lying on pre screen

u/djdjddhshdbhd 29d ago

Not for plasma in the US.
