I’m getting an anti-aging blood transfusion – using my son’s blood

Good looks run in their blood.

A youth follower has revealed she will receive a blood transfusion from her son to stave off ageing.

Marcela Iglesias, 47, has already spent more than $99,000 on various cosmetic procedures and is spending even more on a blood transfusion from her son Rodrigo, 23, to “reverse aging.”

“A blood transfusion is the new age of getting new cells into your system, especially when it comes from your own son or daughter,” said the self-proclaimed “Human Barbie,” who lives in Los Angeles.

When she approached Rodrigo with the idea, she said he was willing to share his blood with Marcela and his 75-year-old grandmother, Graciela.

“There could be a lot of benefit from cells from a younger donor, especially if the donor is my son,” said Marcela, who has already “tried stem cell therapy” and was inspired by her experience to research other treatments. .

“Rodrigo is very aware of how the procedure is performed and all its benefits,” she added.

“He is excited about the idea of ​​helping his grandmother as well.”

While previous studies have shown that blood transfusion is effective in rodents — and several companies are investigating its therapeutic effects — “it remains unclear whether transfusion of young blood into the elderly has clinical benefits,” according to a report.

In 2019, the Food and Drug Administration warned against plasma infusions from “new donors” being billed as drugs for certain conditions.

“Conditions range from normal aging and memory loss to serious illnesses such as dementia, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease or post-traumatic stress disorder,” the FDA wrote in the alert, adding that the agency has “significant public. health concerns.”

“There is no proven clinical benefit of infusing plasma from young donors to cure, mitigate, treat or prevent these conditions, and there are risks associated with the use of any plasma product.”

Marcela, who is from Argentina, said she is looking for a doctor in LA to oversee the transfusion.

“I’ve been told that your body welcomes this boost like a traveler quenched by a sip of water after a long journey,” she said.

“In the end, I should feel stronger, more stable and more supported.”

Marcela already follows a strict health regime, which requires eight hours of sleep and an hour of exercise every day, giving up sugary drinks, alcohol and soy products. She also maintains a pescatarian diet, meaning she only eats fish, but no meat, and spends nearly $1,000 on wellness treatments like injections, IVs, vitamins and more.

“Everything you put into your body will reflect on the outside, so it’s very important to treat yourself as well as possible from the inside,” she said.

She added that people ask about her anti-aging secrets, saying she is “too young to be a mother”.

“I have to tell them the truth – even though they can do all the treatments I’ve had, sometimes plastic surgery is the only solution,” she said.

“It feels good that people recognize the work I’ve done.”
