2023: Stopping son's blood transfusion

On July 11, 2023, it became known that 45-year-old American IT millionaire Brian Johnson decided to curtail the experiment on transfusing his own son's blood to slow down aging and increase life expectancy.

According to Business Insider, Johnson is trying to reverse the aging process in various ways. For six months (by mid-2023), he received one liter of "young blood" every month, including from his 17-year-old son Talmage. The latter donated approximately 1 liter of blood, from which plasma was then isolated. At the same time, Brian Johnson himself gave part of his plasma to his own father Richard, who is 70 years old. However, the transfusion of "young blood" did not give the expected result.

Biomarkers from fluids did not reveal any benefits. Filtering the plasma of young people through a special membrane can be useful for those who are biologically older or in a certain state. In my case, this procedure was ineffective, "Johnson said.

To prolong life, Johnson follows a strict diet that includes consuming exactly 1,977 calories each day. Moreover, eating is limited by a strict time frame - after waking up at about 5 am to 11 am. At the same time, a man uses a huge number of special food additives every day - more than 60 items. Particular attention is paid to the vegetable diet.

Johnson claims to have made some progress in lowering his biological age: in January 2023, his doctors told Bloomberg that, according to tests and various tests, the IT millionaire has the heart of a 37-year-old and the lungs of an 18-year-old. Johnson is not going to stop there.^[1]
