The American Longevity Alliance is dedicated to the prevention and cure of degenerative aging processes, thereby extending active and healthy human lifespans.
Biological aging is the main cause of age-related diseases and frailty in older age — including cancers, dementias, heart failures, strokes, and diabetes — causing suffering and deaths for millions of people globally. Science has now developed the ability to slow and eradicate those degenerative aging processes, and by doing so, to prevent, delay, and compensate for age-related diseases, disabilities, and mortality. Extending healthspan and lifespan through innovative biotechnologies has proven successful in humans.
Healthy life extension technologies can reduce the cost of social protection and healthcare systems by sustaining healthy activity into advanced years — benefiting the global economy and enhancing individual financial well-being. We are concerned that a deficit of information among decision-makers, combined with outdated treatments, regulatory barriers, and lack of funding, unnecessarily hinders progress in this most important field.
In 2001 what is now the National Academy of Medicine published that sex is a fundamental biological variable in health, impacting everything from cellular biochemistry to disease presentation and response to treatment. In 2015, The National Institutes of Health identified sex as a biological variable in therapeutic interventions, and in 2025, the Food and Drug Administration concurred that consideration of sex differences are crucial to safety and optimal treatment outcomes.
In 1956 the first successful bone marrow transplant was performed. Since Kollman et al., was published in 2001, 18-35-year-old donors has been a cornerstone of the National Marrow Donor Program’s and World Marrow Donor Association’s bone marrow hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) donor recruitment because it was proven this this age group provided the best transplant outcomes.
A 2017–2018 Stanford/Alkahest PLASMA trial administered plasma from 18–30-year-old donors to patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease. The study found no serious adverse events and reported functional improvements in daily activities based on caregiver assessments.
The Department of Neurology and Neurological Sciences, Stanford University School of Medicine, published on June 15, 2020, that Young fresh frozen plasma from 18-25-year-old donors (yFFP) was safe, feasible, and well tolerated in people with Parkinson’s Disease (PD), without serious adverse effects and with preliminary evidence for improvements in phonemic fluency and stigma.
In 2021, The Neurology Center at the Texas Medical Center’s placebo-controlled study found that Young Plasma Infusions from sex-identified 18-25-year-old donors “Significantly Improve Clinical Symptoms and UPDRS Scores in Patients with Parkinson’s Disease.”
A November 11, 2024, study by Regenerative Health & Wellness in Houston, TX, revealed that 85% of joints experienced improvement in joint function and status after receiving plasma injections from sex-identified 18-25-year-old donors. Additionally, no patients experienced a decline in joint status from baseline or any adverse effects, further corroborating plasma from sex-identified young-adults as an effective and very low-risk treatment.
Military dog tags have the person’s blood type, and a requirement for racing cars is that your blood type be embroidered onto your racing suit. While you may not be involved in dangerous activities, here are some reasons you should know yours
1. Emergency Medical Situations
If you are unconscious or unable to communicate, medical teams need to know which blood type is safe for transfusion.
-
Receiving the wrong blood type can trigger a severe immune reaction.
-
In emergencies, hospitals often give O-negative red blood cells because they are broadly compatible, but knowing your exact type helps doctors switch to the safest match quickly.
2. Blood Transfusions and Plasma Compatibility
If you ever need surgery, trauma care, or treatment for conditions that require transfusion, your blood type determines what you can safely receive.
3. Personal Medical Records
Knowing your blood type allows you to:
-
include it in medical ID information
-
fill out hospital forms quickly
-
participate in research studies or clinical trials
Others include pregnancy safety, organ or tissue transplants, and certain disease associations.

Facilitating professional networking within the healthcare community and building connections with decision-makers in business and the public sectors worldwide to immediately implement therapies to control biological aging.
Initiating public dialogue to improve regulation of fundamental and translational treatments, and developing proposals to amend regulation at national and global levels.
Broadly disseminating the most up-to-date information on the biology of aging and the immediate accessibility of proven therapies, methods of distribution, and administration.
Join the Movement
We call on people from the United States of America and all over the world to join forces in the fight against degenerative aging processes. Our collective action will advance safe and effective biomedical technologies that give people more years of healthy and active life.
