$40,000/year to extend your longevity?

The Equinox chain of fitness centers has a new Plutonium Tier of membership designed to increase your life expectancy at a $40,000 annual fee. I’m pretty sure I can google-up about 90% of it for free. I particularly liked the 46-yr-old who was infusing himself with the blood of teenagers, but that costs extra. {{ LOL }}

If you continue on to the end of the article you’ll see a review of 3 AI-written books that purport to be a biography of Frank Bruni. It’s late stage capitalism – Splendid stuff!

The folks who sign up are lucky if treatments are innocuous.

At some point, the organization will get sued into oblivion. Either for fraud or for premature deaths.

from the article:
{ at one point, in the hope of reversing the aging process and in consultation with some 30 doctors, he received a series of plasma transfusions from young donors, including his teenage son. He stopped after not detecting any evidence that they were doing any good. }

Obviously, his experts were not expert enough?

@Leap1 Heterochronic parabiosis is settled science, per HARVARD.
Blood of young mice extends lives of old mice — Harvard Gazette

The key is the physical connection of the ‘old’ vascular system to the ‘young’ vascular system.

{ a team of scientists co-led by Harvard Medical School Professor of Medicine Vadim Gladyshev extended the lives of old mice by connecting their circulatory systems to those of young mice. Using a process called heterochronic parabiosis, the researchers connected their vessels for three months.

The results were striking: The old mice lived for an average of 6 percent to 9 percent longer than their control peers, and biological age determined with biomarkers of aging in both the old and young mice was affected by the three-month blood-sharing procedure.

Anything less than true heterochronic parabiosis is just witch doctoring.
