A 47 years-old influencer Marcela Iglesias wants to use her 23-year-old son’s blood in her quest to beat old age.
Iglesias is hoping to go through a procedure of blood transfusions from her son to reverse ageing even as medical experts have warned that it may not be safe or produce the desired result. She had spent close to a $100,000 on cosmetic surgeries, IVs, wellness injections, vitamins and creams as part of her campaign against ageing.
The mum, who calls herself ‘Human Barbie’, also revealed Rodrigo plans to give some of his blood to his grandmother too. Marcela, who lives in Los Angeles, said: “Blood transfusion is the new era of maintaining young cells in your system especially when it comes from your own son or daughter.
“Since I tried stem cell therapy, I started to dig more into healing from the inside out. There can be many benefits from the cells of a younger donor, especially if the donor is my own son.
“I’m currently searching for a doctor that will perform the treatment in Los Angeles. Rodrigo is very aware of how the procedure is performed and all the benefits of it.
“He is willing to go through with it. He is excited about the idea of helping his grandmother, too.”
Marcela explained her understanding of the procedure: “Blood transfusions bring fresh red blood cells to carry oxygen through your body Plasma carries proteins and clotting factors, perfect for helping with bleeding or healing.
“I have been told that your body welcomes this boost like a traveler quenched by a sip of water after a long journey At the end, I should be left feeling stronger, steadier and more supported.”
Marcela, originally from Argentina and residing in Hollywood for several decades, runs her own business.
