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,

I don’t notice that the wealthy and powerful live miraculously longer than anyone else.
So I doubt these novel therapies, rumored as Adenochrome etc are effective at all.
Democrats are vampires!!!!
“He already did too, he limited man’s years to 120.”
Frenchwoman Jeanne Calment lived to 122
A Japanese woman is 117 and still going strong and her BD is documented.
There is a whole slew of 100-106 years olds in my uncles assisted living home.
In 20-25 years 120+ years old will be commonplace.
He limited man’s years. Maybe he missed the women. I know, I’m hilarious. People used to live to several hundred years old, but God changed that. Things changed drastically after the flood as well.
The way things are going I don’t think we’ll be here in 20 years.
Once again, the news is showing the Alex Jones was closer to the truth than I like to think about.
Clearly, Q isn’t crazy enough to keep up with reality.
The gal who did the original research has found that merely replacing the plasma with saline and albumin resets the protein clock even better. So it isn’t young blood, it is dilution.
Great show, by the way. Having spent a good amount of time in Silicon Valley, I can vouch for how accurate the portrayal of that nut factory is. One of my most favorite lines from the show is when the character Erlich Bachman says to the Chinese character Jian Yang:
"You can't smoke in here Jian Yang. This is Palo Alto. We don't share the same freedoms you do in China."

“There will obviously need to be a product for this to be widespread.”
Agree. What they were describing was not a transfusion, but more like a vaccine or medication like vitamin shots. Now if they can just get enough young people to donate as they have had problems with blood supplies for years everything from type to platelets to marrow. I have never given blood as mine is no good due to an unusual childhood illness from my area. Wish I could.

Probably have factories of horror with the kids hooked up to feeding tubes and being bled.
I never watched the one year TV series but you made a great post because it had to do with rich people targeting the hero for use as “their personal blood bank” to stay young.
The actor Christopher George was married to the lovely Linda Day George for years. They say men age more slowly with a younger wife. 14 years her senior.
He still died in 1983.
That idea sound as logical as sleeping under a wire pyramid over the bed and have a mood ring while doing so.
Hmm, sounds exactly like what Moderna is doing.
Yes, and they worked a lot together.

Work with his wife[edit]
George co-starred with his wife Lynda in multiple television films, including Mayday at 40,000 Feet! (1976) and Cruise Into Terror (1978). They also worked together in episodes of The F.B.I. (1970), Mission: Impossible (1971), McCloud (1975), Wonder Woman (1976), Love Boat (1977) and Vega$ (1978).
RE:Christopher George in many movies and TV shows with wife Linda Day George.
From personal experience, when you are fortunate enough to have a wonderful wife make sure she always feels loved and that you are giving her the male attention she wants. I can’t see how that works for people with marriages including “I’ll phone you from the hotel and I should be able to fly home by Friday or maybe Saturday.”
Insane! Wonder how it is produced.?.?
May watch this...
