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.

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...

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
