Can Blood from Young People Slow Aging? Silicon Valley Has Bet Billions It Will
NEWSWEEK ^ | 4/7/2021 | ADAM PIORE

The Spanish firm Grifols helped set off a kerfuffle last year when it, along with other firms, offered nearly double the going price for blood donations for a COVID-19 treatment trial. Brigham Young University in Idaho had to threaten some enterprising students with suspension to keep them from intentionally trying to contract COVID-19. The trial failed, however, and now the Barcelona-based firm is hoping to extract something far more valuable from the plasma of young volunteers: a set of microscopic molecules that could reverse the process of aging itself.

Earlier this year, Grifols closed on a $146 million-deal to buy Alkahest, a company founded by Stanford University neuroscientist Tony Wyss-Coray, who, along with Saul Villeda, revealed in scientific papers published in 2011 and 2014 that the blood from young mice had seemingly miraculous restorative effects on the brains of elderly mice. The discovery adds to a hot area of inquiry called geroscience that focuses on identifying beneficial elements of blood that dissipate as we age and others that accumulate and cause damage. In the last six years, Alkahest has identified more than 8,000 proteins in the blood that show potential promise as therapies. Its efforts and those of Grifols have resulted in at least six phase 2 trials completed or underway to treat a wide range of age-related diseases, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

Alkahest and a growing number of other geroscience health startups signal a change in thinking about some of the most intractable diseases facing humankind. Rather than focusing solely on the etiology of individual diseases like heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's and arthritis—or, for that matter, COVID-19—geroscientists are trying to understand how these diseases relate to the single largest risk factor of all: human aging. Their goal is to hack the process of aging itself and, in the process,

There is no way to respond to this, except to say, “Come Lord Jesus. We are not deserving of existing anymore.”

Pipe dreams, lollipops, and unicorns while attempting to play god.

I would wager that those looking to prolong their lives are going to eventually regret such, but yeah, human nature is that ‘we’ seek to survive and control ‘our’ conditions, whether externally or internally .... and will look to most anything to achieve such no matter how futile such may be.

The Elite, our so called “betters” have been said to favor adrenochrome extracted from unwilling donors under horrific circumstances.

Adrenochrome is also commercially sold by a company in, of all places, Wuhan China...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_B%C3%A1thory
Countess Elizabeth Báthory de Ecsed
7 August 1560 – 21 August 1614

was a Hungarian noblewoman from the family of Báthory, who owned land in the Kingdom of Hungary (now Hungary,Slovakia and Romania)

Báthory has been labeled by Guinness World Records as the most prolific female murderer, though the number of her victims is debated.[2] Báthory and four collaborators were accused of torturing and killing hundreds of girls and women between 1590 and 1610.[3] The highest number of victims cited during Báthory’s trial was 650 but this number comes from the claim by a servant girl named Susannah that Jakab Szilvássy, Báthory’s court official, had seen the figure in one of Báthory’s private books. The book was never revealed and Szilvássy never mentioned it in his testimony.[4] Despite the evidence against Báthory, her family’s importance protected her from a death sentence. She was imprisoned in December 1610 within Castle of Csejte, in Upper Hungary (now Slovakia).

Stories describing Báthory’s vampiric tendencies, such as the tale that she bathed in the blood of virgins to retain her youth, were generally recorded years after her death, and are considered unreliable.
