Karmazin has a medical degree, but he's not licensed to practice. Instead, he's banking on experience earned from his time at Stanford and as an intern at the National Institute on Aging. He was inspired by a study from 2014, in which older rats were injected with plasma from younger ones. After the transfusion, researchers found that the elderly rats were more able to learn and had an improved memory.
"Some patients got young blood and others got older blood, and I was able to do some statistics on it, and the results looked really awesome," Karmazin told Business Insider. "And I thought, this is the kind of therapy that I'd want to be available to me."
Karmazin is looking for volunteers to participate, though they'll have to fork up $8,000 to be a part of the preliminary study. One their checks have cleared, they'll be part of a two-day study that will pump 1.5 liters of donor plasma into their veins and record any improvement. Karmazin told The Next Web that he's witnessed the procedure and its benefits dozens of times. He also told the site that he'd already performed the procedure on 30 people and they're already reaping the benefits, such as "renewed focus and improved appearance and muscle tone.
