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.
