Tech mogul who spends $2m a year to look 18 swaps BLOOD with his teenage son and father

A well-known eccentric tech mogul with an eagerness to look younger has taken the drastic step of trading blood plasma with his father and young son.

Bryan Johnson is a world-renowned biohacker known for spending millions of dollars each year on a variety of doctors and medical procedures believed to carry the fountain of youth.

Mr Johnson, who had received blood transfusions from a healthy anonymous donor in the past, has now accepted the plasma donation from his 17-year-old son Talmage and 70-year-old father Richard, who accepting the transfusion of ultra-healthy blood felt like giving win the lottery.

The trio underwent the transfusions at a Dallas clinic, where a quart of blood is taken from the elderly father and teenage son and a machine uses a machine to break it down into its component parts — a batch of liquid plasma, and then a batch of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

This collection is then fed into Mr Johnson’s veins with the aim of rejuvenating and repairing cellular damage caused by the aging process by replacing old blood in an old body with new blood from a young donor.

The recent transfusion session with Johnson’s son and father isn’t his first foray into plasma transfusion. He had received transfusions from an anonymous healthy donor

Johnson, the American tech tycoon worth nearly half a billion dollars, has become the de facto poster child for drastic measures to prevent age-related decline.

Johnson and his doctors claim that in two years he has reduced his overall biological age by more than five years and now has the heart of a 37-year-old, the skin of a 28-year-old and the lung capacity and fitness of an 18-year-old.

Most recently, he underwent a plasma exchange. Before Johnson did this with his father and son, he had undergone plasma transfusions from a young, healthy, anonymous donor whom he carefully screened to ensure the person had an ideal body mass index, was living a healthy lifestyle and was disease free.

After Talmage plasma was drawn, the process was repeated with Richard having some of his blood drawn and infused with some of Bryan’s blood.

The science behind plasma transfusion as a cure for aging is far from understood and has its roots in experiments in mice.

In 2005, a group of scientists at the University of California, Berkeley made the shocking discovery that mating young and old mice altered their cell ages.

After bringing an old mouse and a young mouse together so that they could share blood and organs, they studied the mice for five weeks. The muscles of the old mice healed at about the same rate as the young mice, while the old mice regenerated liver cells at a youthful rate.

A later study would show that transferring blood from an older mouse to a younger one would actually speed up the aging process.

Talmage has the short end of the stick while Bryan wins by getting blood that, based on somewhat limited conclusive studies, will rejuvenate him from the inside out.

Richard, on the other hand, is likely to emerge as the biggest winner as he receives a blood transfusion from one of the healthiest people on earth. Richard and Bryan had a strained relationship, and the former sees the transfusion as a family renewal and a deepening of the bond with his son.

The transfusion took place at a Dallas clinic, but it wasn’t the first time Johnson had received plasma from young, healthy donors

Richard received a transfusion from one of the healthiest people in the world – his son. He said, “I won the lottery.” There must be some benefit to getting that much volume from him.

Johnson’s son Talmage (above) lost out: Bryan wins by getting blood that, based on somewhat limited conclusive studies, will rejuvenate him from the inside out.

Richard told Bloomberg, “Yes, I won the lottery. There must be an advantage to getting that much volume from him.”

When Bryan’s plasma was drawn from his veins, he noticed the yellow-gold hue that indicates healthy blood.

He said, “Hey, look at this.” That’s how you can tell if I’m a scammer or not. The color is beautiful. It’s flawless.’

As part of what he calls “Project Blueprint,” Johnson lives by what looks more like a full-time job.

He has had his pelvic floor treated with electromagnetic pulses to improve muscle tone in hard-to-reach places, and he wears blue light-blocking glasses for two hours before going to bed at the same time each day.

He claims to eat exactly 1,977 calories a day, which keeps his body fat percentage between 5 and 6 percent.

Project Blueprint has also helped Johnson’s father, Richard, a lawyer, who has lost 50 pounds and is feeling fitter and more energetic.

Johnson says his goal is to make sure his brain, liver, kidneys, teeth, skin, hair, penis and rectum function as they did when he was 18.

His lifestyle and obsessive attempt to subvert the effects of the times have drawn intense criticism. Some medical experts say this is just an expression of his fear of mortality.
