Good afternoon! Happy to share an update on the young plasma infusions. The double-blind / placebo-based study in Houston has released their 3 month results! See link for the updated details and results from the study: https://www.youngplasmastudy.com/

Hello Jean. Yes, there are people I know personally who have benefited, but the compelling part of the young plasma study website is that it presents the actual data from blood labs and physician assessments, as compared to a friend subjectively saying it helped them. What I find fascinating about the website is that not only are the results compared to patients receiving a placebo, but you can look at the changes in the blood to better understand why the assessment areas improved.

Hello Jean. Yes, the plasma based therapy you read on Fox’s website started out as one and the same, with both using young blood plasma. Based upon similar success, Alkahest is now employing a fraction derived solely from young plasma for proprietary profit purposes (it is not possible to patent a natural biologic, so they are attempting to develop a manufactured derivative with proprietaries they can patent), acknowledging that all they are doing is removing some plasma components which they believe are not directly related to neuroregeneration, without adding anything additional. Given their manufacturing process adds considerable expense and some of the components they remove could cause side-effects, the neurologists in the Houston study believed it would be safer and less expensive to stay with natural fresh frozen blood plasma taken intact from volunteer 19-25 year old donors.

Hello Jean. NuPlasma is currently available throughout Texas (Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio) and the FDA is processing their application to allow them to fill prescriptions nationwide. NuPlasma is a blood bank and not big-pharma. Plasma is somewhat costly to collect, test, store and ship, and blood bank margins are nothing like the predatory pricing pharmaceutical companies charge.
Plasma is the non-cellular component of blood, with all the proteins, anti-bodies, hormones and minerals that stimulate and protect cell function. As with all blood products, NuPlasma is matched to your blood-type and NuPlasma then provides gender specific units collected from 18 – 25 year old volunteer donors. No immunosuppressants are needed and in fact, 10,000 units of plasma are safely used in the United States every day. And as an added benefit, because plasma generally does not interact or conflict with existing prescriptions, all the study participants stayed on their usual medications, so the study improvements were on top off what they were realizing from their personally optimized treatment regimens.
