Infinitely more powerful than most with an insatiable thirst for immortality, Alexander Aleksandrovich Boganov (22 August 1873 – 7 April 1928) was a Russian physician, philosopher, economist, and science fiction writer. He was a revolutionary thinker, who believed in the possibility of human rejuvenation through blood transfusion. Alexander saw blood transfusion not only as replacement therapy, but also as a body stimulant and set out to demonstrate its mechanisms scientifically by establishing the Moscow Institute for Blood Transfusion in 1926. Then something utterly unforeseen took place. Well, at least he had not seen it coming, and Alexander left us hanging from the proverbial cliff, you might say, when he ironically, he died as a result of a hemolytic transfusion reaction that he performed on himself. It was an experiment, in which Alexander felt himself expanding, swallowing the death, which for a split second, blazed as large as life. A hemolytic transfusion reaction is a serious complication that can occur after a blood transfusion. The reaction occurs when the red blood cells that were given during the transfusion are destroyed by the person’s immune system.   #RyanPhillippe 1 of 7

Your immune system can usually tell its own blood cells from those of another person. If one receives blood that is not compatible with one’s blood, the body produces antibodies to destroy the donor’s blood cells. This process causes the transfusion reaction. Blood that one receives in a transfusion must be compatible with the blood of the host. This means one’s body cannot have antibodies against the blood it is taking it. Symptoms of a transfusion reaction typically are: Back pain, bloody urine, chills, fainting or dizziness, fever, flank pain, and flushing of the skin. Symptoms of a hemolytic transfusion reaction most often appear during or right after the transfusion. Sometimes, they may develop after several days (delayed reaction). If symptoms occur during the transfusion, the process must be stopped right away. Acetaminophen, a pain reliever to reduce fever and discomfort may be used, and fluids given through a vein (intravenous) and other medications are supplied to treat or prevent kidney failure and shock.  #RyanPhillippe 2 of 7

There is currently a clinic in Ontario, Canada North America, which is paying donors $20 for blood plasma. Blood plasma is the yellow liquid left over when red blood cells are removed from one’s blood. The newly formed company called Canadian Plasma Resources (CPR) is primarily looking for young University students to supply plasma. CPR would like to open three plasma collection clinics in Ontario, Canada North America and process the plasma into products to treat a variety of diseases, including hemophilia. Hemophilia is a rare disorder in which the blood does not clot normally. It is usually a condition that is inherited and mostly occurs in males, and runs in certain families. The disease was traced back to a female ancestor living in Plymouth, New Hampshire America, in 1720. The males were called “bleeders.” Hemophilia is sometimes referred to as “the royal disease, because it affected royal families of England, Germany, Russia, and Spain in the 1800s.  #RyanPhillippe 3 of 7

Queen Victoria of England, who ruled from 1837-1901, is believed to have been the carrier of hemophilia B, or factor IX deficiency. She passed the trait onto three of her nine children. Her son Leopold died of a hemorrhage after a fall when he was 30. Queen Victoria’s daughters Alice and Beatrice passed in one to several of their children. Alice’s daughter Alix married Tsar Nicolas of Russia, whose son Alexei had hemophilia. Their family’s entanglement with Rasputin, the Russian mystic, and their deaths during the Bolshevik Revolution have been chronicled in serval books and films. Hemophilia was carried through various royal family members for three generations after Queen Victorian, and then disappeared. If one has hemophilia, one has little or no clotting factor. Clotting factor is a protein needed for normal blood clotting. Without it, one may bleed for a long time after an injury or accident. One may also bleed into one’s knees, ankles, and elbows. Bleeding in the joints causes pain, and if not treated, can lead to arthritis. Bleeding in the brain, a very serious complication of hemophilia, requires emergency treatment. The main symptoms of hemophilia are excessive bleeding and easy bruising. Blood test can discover if one has the condition.  #RyanPhillippe 4 of 7

Leukaemia is a cancer of the blood or bone marrow (which produces blood cells). A person who has Leukaemia suffers from an abnormal production of blood cells, generally leukocytes (white blood cells). The DNA of immature blood cells, mainly white cells, becomes damaged in some way. This abnormally causes the blood cells to grow and divide chaotically. Normal blood cells do not die so easily, and accumulate, occupying more and more space. As more and more space is occupied by these faulty blood cells—the host becomes ill. Quite simply, the bad cells crowd out the good cells in the blood. Leukaemia is cancer of the white blood cells. White blood cells help your body fight infection. There are about 54,270 new cases of leukemia in the United States of America each year, and around 24,450 people die from Leukaemia each year. Signs of leukaemia is poor blood clotting, affected immune system, anemia, nausea, fever, chills, night sweats, flu-like symptoms, weight loss, tiredness and headaches.  #RyanPhillippe 5 of 7

Besides possibly curing leukaemia, regenerating the body, and curing hemophilia, research also indicates that injecting the blood plasma of young people into the bodies of those suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, could reverse some damage caused by the debilitating condition.  It has been documented that when the circulatory systems of an old mouse and a young mouse were combined, the cartilage in the older mice looked younger than expected. Since this study of 60 years ago, experiments using the same technique have proved that young blood can rejuvenate the liver and skeletal stem cells of old mice and that young blood can reverse heart decline in animals. The protein in the blood plasma called growth differentiation factor 11 (GDF11) seemed to be linked to rejuvenating effects in old mice with a heart condition called cardiac hypertrophy—a condition which caused the heart to swell.  #RyanPhillippe 6 of 7

 When the ageing mice were given injections of GDF11 for 30 days, their hearts decreased in size, just like when they were given the blood of younger mice—leading scientist to believe that GDF11 is likely to be one ingredient in blood responsible for rejuvenation. Subsequent studies have shown that injections of the protein increased the number of blood vessels and stem cells in the brains—improving brain function in older mice and blood plasma of the young and GDF11 could play a role in rejuvenating the body, skin, mind, and heart because human blood had beneficial effect on every organ we have studied so far. Blood plasma also could be sued to treat cancer and reverse the effect of muscle wasting in chemotherapy, as well as treating the other conditions such as hemophilia, Alzheimer’s and make even extend human life. Alexander Aleksandrovich Boganov success put him in the forefront of the development of centralized national blood transfusions services and blood research. Perhaps humans are not God’s final and best creations on Earth? It is possible that vampires are the key to eternal life.  #RyanPhillippe 7 of 7
