alt Hacker NewsNo he takes blood transfusions from his son along with a lot of other questionable procedures and supplements. No one really knows why he developed this problem and it's pretty common but in association with so many exotic medical procedures it's spawned a lot of assumptions about the cause.

There are some side effects with blood transfusions that may be an experiment in itself. For example, blood bags can transfer plasticizers to the blood, which is a method to detect if athletes have been doping.

Yeah that's what I thought. Which is pretty weird.
Funnily enough donating blood actually can have big benefits for health - they did a study on Firemen who have massively higher PFAS blood levels (exposure to fire fighting foams). Turns out by regularly donating blood it forces the body to make new blood which was the only reliable way to dilute the "forever chemicals".
