A short YouTube video (by Paul Savage MD, uploaded May 11, 2023) uses a car-and-oil-change analogy to explain Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE). Speakers compare blood/plasma to motor oil and describe TPE as removing and replacing the plasma (stated as removing 75% of plasma) to clear toxins, debris (including cancer-related material and biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease), and immune-suppressing substances, then replacing it with nutrient-rich solution; frequent TPE appointments are suggested to maintain health.

TPE is like getting an oil change.
Your body is like a car. A high performance vehicle that burns gas, fats, has an exhaust system, colon, motor oil, blood, an oil pump, heart, switches and dials, cells, pulleys and gears, muscles, a computer brain and headlights, eyes, among many other mechanical and electrical devices.
Let's focus on how motor oil in a car is like the blood in the body.
Your blood is made up of two cells and plasma. You have specific cells which carry gas like tankers, and specific cells which fight off infection like army tanks. Then you have the plasma, which is.
Like a massive fleet of trucks, delivery trucks that carry nutrients throughout the body. And garbage trucks which pick up trash.
And toxins and take them to the dump. In this case, the liver and the kidneys.
The fewer toxins you have in your bloodstream, the more the healthier you are.
And slower you age.
A well lubricated engine will burn fuel more effectively and perform better. Regular oil changes improve your engine's performance.
Extend its lifespan and help achieve its peak gas mileage.
Removing and replacing the old dirty oil with clean oil is essential.
We have discovered that it is the.
Same with your body as it is with your car. So imagine how your body will perform after MD lifespan. Removes the old plasma filled with toxins. Your body will create fresh new plasma.
When you get a therapeutic plasma Exchange.
We remove 75% of the plasma that.
Is toxic, inflamed, oxidized and littered with.
Debris such as cancer, biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease and substances that suppress your immune system. Then we replace it with a clean solution packed with nutrients and fresh proteins. And your body will use that solution.
To create new plasma.
Essentially, we are giving your vehicle, AKA.
Body, an oil change.
The importance of this procedure is only now coming to light. Since your body is like a high performance vehicle, frequent TPE appointments may be recommended to keep your health running in top condition.
