The article misses the simplest technique: Just donate blood as often as possible. This results in a loss of cholesterol, other bad lipoproteins, excess iron in those who have it, and PFAS toxins. It is frequency-dependently associated with longevity. Whole blood donation avoids the plastic lining of plasma donations, with the latter undesirably transferring unwanted microplastics into the body. For those with suffic…
>They drink blood because their own blood accumulates factors that accelerate aging, and they need to periodically dilute it. Feeding isn’t nutrition. It’s dialysis. This seems to be the emerging consensus. When you get older your metabolism creates all kinds of crap that circulates in the blood. You would like to have boosted kidneys parallel to real ones that can detect and remove all the slightly wrong proteins.
Are there any reasons for this to work on non-vampires? :D
Hope the author has some garlic silverware lying around after such a revealing article
Completely OT: In the link “what the longevity experts don’t tell you”[1] I found this: “As a devout Baptist, he couldn’t use playing cards…” And I’m wondering if I missed something in my Baptist upbringing. I have long since removed myself from any semblance of the Church and manage my own relationship with faith and any related higher beings, so it’s more a curiosity than pertinent. 1 - https://machielreyneke.com/b…
The reality is that most churches recognize that they were too legalistic in the past, and so now address things like gambling more directly, and are perfectly ok with playing cards. FWIW YMMV :-)

Edit: You can donate every 2 months, so donating as often as possible would roughly halve the crud every year (0.9^6 ~= 0.53, ignoring the natural increase over time).

Is there any evidence?
