Biohacker claims his ‘super blood’ reversed his father’s age by 25 years
Nov
The thought of aging can be a frightening concept, but, unfortunately, there’s no real way around it.
You can undergo all the botox and implement the Atkins diet, but at the end of the day, there’s just no cure for getting older.

Apparently, however, one tech mogul has set his mind to defeating old age, and hopes to shave the process by as many years as he can, by any means necessary.
That doesn’t sound ominous at all, does it? Actually, it kinda does and it kinda is.
Anti-aging fanatic Bryan Johnson has this week revealed that he recently underwent a blood transfusion with his father, in an attempt to elongate his dad’s lifespan.
Believing he possesses “super blood”, this billionaire biohacker orchestrated a questionable tri-generational blood-swapping treatment, giving his 71-year-old elderley father Richard his own plasma, and subsequently taking the blood of his 17-year-old son Talmage.
Both Johnson’s son and father lost a litre of blood each in the experiment, during which his own blood was fed directly into Richard’s veins.
Talmage’s blood was then fed directly into his veins.
Taking to X – formerly known as Twitter – today, Johnson claimed that the plasma-swap was a huge success, however, despite the initial backlash he was met with when he announced it.
“My father is now aging at the rate of a 46 year old,” the tech boss wrote on social media this week.
“Previously, he was aging at the rate of a 71 year old. I am my dad’s blood boy.”
He also admitted, however, that those in-charge of carrying out the Johnson family’s wishes are uncertain as of yet whether Richard’s slow-down in age was “due to him removing 600ml of his own plasma, or receiving 1l of my plasma”.
“Or a combination of both?” he added, before going on to explain, “There remains an open question how long my Dad’s lowered speed of aging will persist.
“So far it’s been six months (which is remarkable).”
Johnson has now announced that he won’t be swapping plasma with his son again, being that “no benefits” were detected during the experiment.
It is unclear as of yet whether he and his father plan to transfuse their blood again, despite him having already referred to himself as Richard’s “blood boy”.
He is also going through under treatments in an attempt to fight off Father Time, one of which has seen him enduring painful shock therapy through his genitals.
“There’s this technology – you have a wand and you sit in a chair and the technician uses the wand and basically shocks your penis through acoustic technology,” he explained on the Diary of a CEO podcast last week.
Claiming the treatment reversed aging in his penis by 15 years, he added: “It’s a technology that has a broad range of applications.
“And it’s also used for erectile dysfunction.”
Johnson then explained that the shocks, which are not electrical, work in the same way that workouts do, by creating micro-injuries which the muscle then rebuilds.
“I have been shocked by the results. I’m now two months in. My subjective experience is as if my penis has gotten 15 years younger,” he said.
