Hello, I’m Doctor Scott Sanderson. I’m here in downtown Honolulu and I am doing Therapeutic Plasma Exchange this evening. Okay. So what I’m doing, as you can see, there’s my, whole blood is gonna start coming out of my left arm, and then it’s going to go through the machine here.
The machine is going to separate, the cellular components from the plasma, Okay? And so what we’re gonna do is we’re going to take out my old dirty plasma, If you will, and we’re going to replace it with albumin and normal saline, okay?
So it’s interesting how they sort of discovered this.
What they did was study, Dr. Convoy did a study go parabiosis.
So they had cloned mice and with the cloned mice, and one was old and one was young, They, they sewed them together and then they knowed, so they had a shared circulatory system, and what happened was the old mouse actually aged backwards, but then the young mouse got older.
So people, at first, were thinking, oh my goodness, young blood is magic, and so people were actually going to blood banks and things and trying to get young blood.
They were ignoring the fact that the young mouse got older, so when they just took an old mouse and they gave him young blood, nothing happened.
So then they took a young mouse, they gave him old blood, and he actually got older, so they realized, wait, the problem is the old blood, and so they were able to isolate and figure out that it’s actually the plasma.
So when they did the plasma exchange on the mice, then the old mouse would age backwards, and so that’s really kind of what we’re doing here.
With age, we accumulate inflammatory molecules and even some autoantibodies, and a lot of different things in our blood are albumin, gets all oxidized, and so our plasma can actually be sort of problematic and contribute to inflammages, chronic inflammation, and so that’s what we’re gonna do is we’re gonna take out all the old inflammatory molecules and small counts of autoantibodies.
We’re gonna get rid of those, and then we’re going to replace them, like I said with the asinine and the saline.
And so I’ll talk a little bit further in some other videos about some of the other benefits of this and then I’ll talk to you about some of the other testing we’re going to do and how you can see if you’re a candidate for this. If you’re interested, you can text or call (808) 353-5536 or you can DM us on Instagram.
Thank you.
Dr. Scott Sanderson, and today I am having Therapeutic plasma exchange. So therapeutic plasma exchange is taking out my blood, removing the plasma from it, the plasma that has much of inflammatory molecules in it, maybe a little bit of autoantibodies. Basically it’s almost like an oil change for a human being if you, so this is taking my blood, filtering it through here, separating out the cellular components, and then taking out my old plasma and giving me new plasma in the form of albumin and saline. You can see that big bag in the back, that’s my old dirty plasma. And then the small bottles there, that’s the albumin that is going to be going in and replacing my plasma. So it’s been used for multiple different things. We use therapeutic plasma exchange in the hospital for people with autoimmune disorders such as Guillain-Barre syndrome, and myasthenia gravis; those things that you can clear those antibodies out of it.
So people who suffer from sort of low levels of autoimmune disease, they can come to us and we can do this on them and get rid of a lot of those antibodies and they can have a lot of improvement in our symptoms. It also has been shown to work really well for long Covid, but Philly has a significant amount of autoantibodies in there as well. Some people really suffer from on covid and really have difficulty finding anything that will work for it. And this has been shown to work quite well the therapeutic plasma exchange does. And so it’s very interesting how they discovered this. The way that they found that the old plasma had issues was that they did a parabiosis study and they took two clone mice. So one was younger than the other. They sewed them together, and it was sort of barbaric there, so they had a shared circulatory system.
But when they did that, the old mouse actually aged backward. There are improvements in eyesight, improvements in mental function, they could see more curiosity, more activity, hair room back, skin improved osteoporosis, improved organ functions such as the heart and liver and kidneys. All of that improved, but the young mouse got older and all of these things got worse in that core yarn mouse. And so it was funny because people thought, oh, young blood is magical and it’s the fountain of youth. And so people actually going to blood banks and saying, oh, I want young blood, but that wasn’t what did it. So they tip mice that were separate clones and they gave an old mouse young blood and nothing happened that can improve. But when they gave a young mouse old blood, that mouse got older more rapidly. So they realized, wait, it’s not that young blood is magical.
It’s that old blood is bad. And so they’re able to further isolate and determine that it’s products in the plasma. Okay, so then when the plasma exchange on the mice, they did age backwards. And so there have been other studies in humans with this. Recently. Dr. Kiprov did a study on Alzheimer’s disease, and this was really interesting. They actually did a sham for resis, so they had a placebo-controlled study with this. So people were getting a placebo version of this, which is really difficult to do, but they did it. And in the mild to Alzheimer’s patients and moderate Alzheimer’s patients in the mild ones, they actually had patients who did have some regression of the disease in the moderate. I don’t think they saw any regression of the disease, but what they did see was the 60% reduction in the speed of progression of Alzheimer’s disease.
So they really slowed it down. And so lots of very interesting things. The reason that I’m doing it here for myself is more for anti-aging. So I want to get rid of all those inflammatory molecules in my blood. And another study again that Dr. Kiprov did with Dr. Verdan from the Buck Institute was to do therapeutic plasma exchange and measure people’s biological age with tests similar to the true age tests with true diagnostic where it measures your epigenetics, your telomere link, all these different aspects of biological aging. So chronologically, I’m 48, but biologically I’m younger because I tend to take care of myself when I exercise and eat right. In this study, they saw an aggression of age, biological age of about four to six years. So these people, after a series of therapeutic plasma exchange for about four to six years younger. So I’ve done the true age test on myself, and then I’m going to check it here again in about a month.
And another reason that I’m doing it is to remove microplastics from my blood. So just living in modern environments, we are accumulating lots of microplastics in our blood, in our organs, in our cells, and it has negative effects. Sometimes these things can act like hormones, they can block the effects of hormones, they can lock cellular function. So they’re detrimental to us in ways I don’t think we can understand, but they are in our water, they’re in our food, in the air, the nutrient. So it’s unavoidable. But we’ve done tests on people and we have checked microplastics in their blood levels before this therapeutic plasma exchange, and then afterwards it seen significant reduction. So I did that on myself as well. So I’ll check my microplastic before and I’ll check it afterwards. I’ll share all my results with you guys. Okay, so I’ll do some more videos in the future. If you want to see if you are a candidate for a therapeutic plasma exchange, you can DM us on Instagram, or you can call my office at (808) 353-5536. Thank you for listen.
