Named after the food of the immortal gods in Greek mythology, Ambrosia is a private clinic in California offering blood plasma from teenagers and young adults aged 16-25 as an anti-ageing remedy. Ambrosia founder Jesse Karmazin said a single infusion of a two-litre bag of plasma will cost patients a hefty $A10,500, but he promises customers will “see improvements” within a month. [ link to www.news.com.au] Another source in case there's any doubt: [ link to www.businessinsider.com] I am quite confident this is only being done in rats. It is not legal to do this for a human. Not to mention that 2 liters of plasma could cause circulatory overload. Now in the case of Hillary Clinton, it is possible that she may be receiving some form of plasma. A poster named Islandia suggested that she may have myasthenia gravis. I do not know how it is treated now (and I don't feel like looking it up) but I do know that in the late seventies it was treated by plasma pheresis. The patient was hooked up to a machine like for a platelet pheresis. Whole blood was drawn off, spun, the plasma removed, then the cells and donor plasma or albumin (not sure what) were given back. This would reduce the abnormal blood proteins. The age of the donor would not be known. This may have been experimental at the time, or, a last ditch effort. Not really sure. By now there is probably another way to treat it.
