The randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled investigation, designed to evaluate the efficacy of 25 ml/kg intravenous NuPlasma young Fresh Frozen Plasma (yFFP®) administered in two doses over three days, continues to realize dramatic and statistically significant improvements.
Ultimately, for patients treated with yFFP, there were a number of Motor Symptom reductions observed during in-person neurologist-assessments at 6 months, including action tremor (-80.6), tremor at rest (-50.8%) and a number of instances of improved bradykinesia, including postural stability (-62.5%) and body bradykinesia (-25%).
It seems to me that this new group might be doing more than just running a clinical trial.
The last sentence in the YAHOO Finance story says:
"The use of blood and blood products such as plasma in the United States is restricted only to the issuance of a prescription by a licensed physician."
If you click on the link in the YAHOO Finance story, and then go to the bottom of the webpage, you will see the following text:
"Are you a licensed physician interested in offering yFFP? Are you a patient interested in receiving yFFP? Contact us here!"
Red flags all over this "study". It was not published in any kind of reputable journal. This presentation is by the company that sells the stuff. What were the overall results of the Stanford study? Can we link to it?
I seem to remember that about 6 months ago this was debunked as a scam.
"Federal health regulators on Tuesday warned consumers against controversial “young blood” treatments — plasma infusions from young donors marketed for conditions such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis and post-traumatic stress disorder."
“There is no proven clinical benefit of infusion of plasma from young donors to cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent these conditions, and there are risks associated with the use of any plasma product,” Scott Gottlieb, commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, and Peter Marks, director of the agency’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, said in a statement.
“Simply put,” they added, “we’re concerned that some patients are being preyed upon by unscrupulous actors touting treatments of plasma from young donors as cures and remedies.”
