A mum obsessed with looking youthful has revealed shocking plans to use blood infusions from her 23-year-old son in a bid to become “forever young”. Marcela Iglesias, 47, has spent £86,000 on cosmetic procedures and shells out £780 a month on IVs, wellness injections, vitamins and creams as part of her campaign against ageing.
She claims the blood transfusion from her son Rodrigo, 23, will go a step further and actually “reverse” the ageing process. However, medical authorities in the US previously warned these types of procedures have not been rigorously tested and should not be assumed “safe or effective”.
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 traveller quenched by a sip of water after a long journey At the end, I should be left feeling stronger, steadier and more supported.”
