FDA Warns Against Infusions of Young Peoples' Blood

In an effort to prevent aging, memory loss and some diseases, people are turning to the 'young blood infusion' procedure. The plasma is harvested from teens and young adults ranging in age from 16 to 25 years old.

But now the Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers claiming such procedures can be "dangerous" and discourage the practice outside of clinicial trials. Furthermore, the FDA concluded "There is no proven clinical benefit of infusion of plasma from young donors to cure, mitigate, treat or precent these conditions and there are risks associated with the use of any plasma products."

Parkinson's and Multiple Sclerosis are among some of the diseases infusion seekers are trying to prevent. They're also willing to pay big bucks for the treatment that can run as much as $8,000 for a 1 liter infusion.
