Joy Kong, MD describes her personal experience with plasmapheresis, a blood plasma treatment. She discusses how it affected her biologic age, strength, walking speed, and balance.
With the plasmapheresis process. What I saw was that my blood was going through the machine and the plasma was separated out, was taken away. And then you were giving me fresh albumin. And then that combined with my blood cells and that gave them back to me. So I got this whole bag of just my own plasma. So just that simple act of self has profound rejuvenation effects. The research, when it comes to longevity, what barometers did it show as far as people improving and benefiting?
We mentioned the biologic age. So this was the main parameter that we found improving. In addition to that, we had strength. The other one was speed of walking. Balance. We measured balance. Balance is extremely important for old age.
