Study: Young blood reverses some effects of aging

Blood from young mice improved learning and memory in older mice, and increased
connections between their brain cells

It is rumoured that the late Kim Jong-il would inject himself with blood from
healthy young virgins in a bid to slow the ageing process. Remarkably, the North
Korean dictator might have been onto something. Experiments on mice have shown
that it is possible to rejuvenate the brains of old animals by injecting them
with blood from the young.

Saul Villeda of Stanford University, who led the work, found that blood from
young mice reversed some of the effects of ageing in the older mice, improving
learning and memory to a level comparable with much younger animals. He said
that the technique could one day help people stave off the worst effects of
ageing, including conditions such as Alzheimer’s.

“Do I think that giving young blood could have an effect on a human? I’m
thinking more and more that it might,” said Villeda. “I did not, for sure, three
years ago.”

He presented his results at the annual meeting of the Society forNeuroscience in
New Orleans on Wednesday.

People are already storing their own blood for future use when they themselves get older. It's kind of a botique medical thing certainly going on here in California.

The best benefits apparently come from the increased immunity to disease attributed to the young white blood cells being introduced into an older body. peace

That's assuming there is still some blood in his drug stream. I would expect a pretty lively buzz from a drop or two. lol peace

It's working for Mick.
