On November 16, Beijing time, Silicon Valley technology tycoon Bryan Johnson announced on Tuesday that his 70-year-old father's aging process had been delayed by 25 years after receiving a transfusion of his "super blood."Johnson was famous for his obsession with rejuvenating people, spending $2 million a year on it.
In May of this year, Johnson planned a three-generation blood transfusion trial to verify the anti-aging effect of plasma therapy. At that time, 46-year-old Johnson, his 17-year-old son Talmage and his 70-year-old father Richard had a liter of plasma withdrawn. Talmadge's (grandson's) plasma was then injected into Johnson's (son's) vein, and Johnson's plasma was injected into Richard's (grandfather's) vein.
But in July this year,Johnson announced he would stop receiving the plasma therapy because he had not detected any benefit from it."Termination of plasma therapy: I have completed six 1-liter youth plasma exchanges. Once a month, one of which used my son's plasma. I have not detected any benefit from this therapy based on biomarkers evaluated by biofluids, equipment, and imaging," Johnson said.
Johnson once had his son's plasma transfused but the effect was not good
However, Johnson said at the time,His father's results are not yet available, and this type of plasma exchange therapy may be helpful in older people.
On Tuesday, Johnson announced the results of his father's exchange transfusion treatment on X.After receiving 1 liter of Johnson's plasma, Richard's aging process was delayed for 25 years.
"The older you get, the faster you age. My father is aging at the rate of 46 years old now. Previously, he was aging at the rate of 71 years old. I became my dad's blood boy." Johnson said on X on Tuesday. A "blood boy" refers to a young man hired by a billionaire to provide blood. He needs to be very healthy, do not drink, smoke, or take drugs, and may be a vegetarian.
Johnson says his father's aging has been delayed for 25 years
However, what Johnson cannot yet confirm is thatThe father's delay in aging "was due to the fact that he was given 600 ml of plasma or because he received 1 liter of his plasma", or both.There is also the question of how long this delay in aging can last. This delay in aging has lasted for six months since Richard received his son's plasma. "It's amazing," Johnson said.
and,It is also unclear whether Johnson will continue to serve as a blood boy in the near future and provide plasma to his father again.
at the same time,Johnson is also undergoing other treatments to combat aging.He recently underwent "painful" shock therapy on his genitals. He said in a podcast released on Wednesday that the treatment slowed the aging of his penis by 15 years.
