Anti-aging zealot replaces all the plasma in his body in quest for immortality
Anti-aging zealot Bryan Johnson is back again- this time claiming his plasma is so pure doctors have started referring to it as ‘liquid’ gold and have begged him not to throw it away.
Johnson, 47, made headlines last year with his bizarre quest for eternal youth, which sees him spend over $2million each year on increasingly outlandish anti-aging procedures.
The latest of which has seen the biohacker undergo a ‘total plasma exchange’ (TPE), which involves replacing all of his plasma with a protein-based substance called Albumin in an effort to remove ‘unnatural pollutants’ from his body.
It comes following a failed experiment last year to swap blood with his teenage son, who he bizarrely called ‘blood boy’, after the process was found to have no real benefits.
‘TPE removes all of my body’s plasma and replaces it with Albumin,’ Johnson explained in a post on social media.
‘The therapy objectives are to remove toxins from my body. The evidence is emergent.’
According to the millionaire, the TPE operator told him his plasma is the ‘cleanest’ he’s ever seen.
‘As we normally do, we completed a bunch of baseline measurements before this therapy including toxins but other things too such as speed of aging, organ ages, microplastics and many other biomarkers. I’ll do six total treatments,’ he shared.
‘The operator, who’s been doing TPE for nine years, said my plasma is the cleanest he’s ever seen. By far. He couldn’t get over it,’ he bragged.
Following the procedure, Johnson said the medical operator ‘couldn’t bring himself’ to throw the plasma away, and was considering auctioning off the ‘liquid gold’ so it could ‘do good in the world’.
He also claimed that since donating a litre of ‘liquid gold’ plasma to his father, his speed of aging dropped by 25 years and stayed that way for six months.
‘We don’t know if it was from my super plasma or if it was from removing his plasma, but the results are interesting nonetheless,’ he noted.
Johnson has become the most visible member of the ‘anti-aging’ movement which is becoming increasingly in vogue with the super-rich, using his fortune to follow an incredibly strict routine overseen by a team of doctors which includes daily exercise, a vegan diet and swallowing more than 100 supplements every day.
Earlier in the year, the tech mogul claimed he now only celebrates his birthday every 19 months – successfully dialing back the clock on aging in his quest for eternal youth.
In a video posted to YouTube, Johnson claimed he has reduced his anti-aging process by a rate of 0.64, which he says is his ‘personal best.’
‘That roughly means that for every 12 months that pass I only age for 7.6 months now,’ he said, claiming the process has already ‘de-aged’ him by around five years.
