Tech entrepreneur discovers 'no result' after swapping plasma with son
What's the story
American tech entrepreneur and millionaire Bryan Johnson has been hitting the headlines for some time now for his innovative journey to reverse his biological age.
It was reported that Johnson decided to transfuse himself with the blood plasma of his 17-year-old son.
Now the entrepreneur has come forward, saying that he found "no result" in swapping plasma with his son.
Will be stopping
'No benefits detected,' says Johnson
Two months ago, Johnson recruited the help of his 70-year-old father Richard, and son Talmage for a trigenerational blood-swapping procedure.
Johnson, his son, and his father each had one liter of blood drawn during the plasma exchange. Johnson had Talmage's plasma injected into his veins, and Richard received Johnson's plasma.
Johnson revealed last week that he stopped experimenting after "no benefits detected."

Johnson is discontinuing therapy
The 45-year-old entrepreneur has been pretty vocal about his experiments.
Taking to Twitter, he wrote, "Young plasma exchange may be beneficial for biologically older populations or certain conditions. Does not in my case stack benefit on top of my existing interventions."
"Alternative methods of plasma exchange or young plasma fractions hold promise," he wrote.
He further added that his father's results are still pending.

Becoming 18 years old
Recently, Johnson confirmed that he eats his last meal at 11:00 am in the quest to achieve the body of an 18-year-old.
"My left ear is 64, my fitness tests say I'm 18, my heart is 37, my diaphragm strength is 18," Johnson was quoted by the BBC.
He teases his son saying, "When I grow younger, I wanna be like you."
The $2 million regime
The $2 million regime
Johnson spends around $2 million (Rs. 16 crores) for his age reversal procedures which are overseen by a team of 30 doctors.
His daily routine involves a strict workout and vegan diet plan besides having over 100 supplements.
Per Johnson, this routine has given him the heart of a 37-year-old, the skin of a 28-year-old, and the lung capacity and fitness of an 18-year-old.
