YOUNG BLOOD FOR SALE

There is a new startup company called Ambrosia that pays for the blood of people under the age of 25, then transfuses it into people over age 35. The cost: $8,000. Ambrosia is the only U.S. company to offer such a service (*cough* legally *cough*). A 2013 study found that certain aspects of aging were reversed in older mice who got blood from younger ones, although the results haven’t been replicated by other researchers. Despite the fact that benefits of young blood transfusions in humans haven’t yet been scientifically documented, Ambrosia’s founder Jesse Karmazin claims some of his 100 or so clients have seen blood biomarkers for heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease lessen, and that at least two clients have seen their actual Alzheimer’s symptoms decrease.

* Ambrosia: for people who want to keep Holding On To Yesterday.
