Longevity is best initiated while young

Medical evidence is now indicating that we have an immediately realizable opportunity to treat chronic age-related conditions more successfully. As budget debates once again take center stage in our nation, chronic conditions currently account for 90% of the United States’ health care costs, which are expected to reach $5 trillion by 2025. With universal recognition that the United States has the most expensive medical care system in combination with the poorest outcomes of any industrialized country, something dramatic needs to be done – and the optimal place to start is at the beginning, with our youth.

There is no denying that longevity is best initiated while young, especially before dietary and lifestyle factors prompt what now is conceded as almost inevitable, our resultant immune-system decline. Harvard Public Health’s March editorial warned of the importance of protecting our citizens from ultra-processed and preserved foods, and from protein sources infused with hormones and antibiotics, estimating that about 678,000 Americans die each year from foodrelated illness. Without dietary changes, the scourge of chronic inflammation is expected to continue, as are increases in the devastating resultant conditions such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and neurodegeneration.

For fifty years, severe immune system inflammation has been successfully treated through plasmapheresis, a dialysis-similar procedure where a prescribed volume of an individual’s plasma and its inflammatory particles, toxins and other harmful substances are removed and replaced by saline, or a combination of saline with a plasma protein, albumin. This process is employed by more than 450 hospitals in over 30,000 treatments each year. Most significantly, an average of 150,000 plasma donations are collected each day nationwide, and therein lies our most realizable longevity opportunity: To stop the healthcare deficit-cycle by starting with protecting our young from ever developing severe systemic inflammations.

Unlike many disruptive changes, the infrastructure to collect and administer plasma is already in-place. Four weekly donations of plasma are the volume equivalent of a therapeutic plasma exchange. The United States has an immediate opportunity at more than three-thousand plasma collection centers nationwide to regularly detoxify ourselves.

Harvard’s Center for Biology of Aging recently proclaimed that “biology is 99 percent software” with programmed aging at a “hardware” level (cell & tissues) driven by components in our constantly age-evolving plasma. Science is now proving that simply infusing or exchanging plasma from young, sex-matched donors between the ages of 18 and 25 into older subjects significantly slows the recipient’s cellular rate of aging. Older generations can themselves employ frequent donations of plasma to minimize their own inflammatory conditions, with those donations then used to support hospital volume replacement and clotting requirements, and to provide pharmaceutical companies with plasma they can fracture into raw materials for production purposes.

Plasma is safe and healthy for individuals to donate frequently. Plasma collected from young donors could easily be directed to treat age-related conditions economically and effectively while 80% of our plasma, that collected from individuals 26 and older, continues to supply traditional channels.

Blood plasma is an organic, renewable resource whose frequent donation and use forms a perfect circle for better health.

An Overview of Plasma Infusions and Their Potential to Address the Complexities of Aging

For millennia, the intricacies of the aging process were deemed beyond the reach of medical intervention. However, recent advancements in understanding the biological mechanisms at play have transformed our approach. One such advancement is the use of plasma infusions—a seemingly simple medical procedure that holds promise in addressing the deeply complex biological processes associated with aging.

While the complexity of aging remains daunting, our comprehension of the processes involved has significantly deepened. Quantum biology, an emerging field, offers a novel perspective on the intricate signaling pathways required to effectively mitigate and potentially reverse aging. By leveraging the principles of quantum biology, we can better understand how plasma infusions may rejuvenate cellular functions and promote overall health.
