ITOK = GKAWFQN4"/ DR - UNSPLASH < P >< Strong > In London, a luxury clinic offers to “purify” the blood of its clients from microplastics thanks to a method resulting from plasma. And this, for the modest sum of $ 12,000 per session. But behind the high-tech varnish, does this method have any efficiency ?

< P > To the great evils the great remedies ? This is the last tocade of ultra-rich: to be “cleaned” the blood of microplastics. The Clarify Clinic, located in the very upscale Harley Street district in London, offers this service based on apheresis, a very real medical process intended to filter the plasma. The catch is that no link is proven between this technique and any elimination of microplastics.

< P > However, the CEO of the clinic, Yael Cohen, praises a high-end and painless experience: “Patients answer on the phone, are zooming, watch films … My favorites are those who sleep!” < em > wired . But this comfort does not compensate for scientific vagueness, because if microplastics are omnipresent – in our blood and our brain in particular – their exact danger remains subject to debate. As reminded of < EM > FUTURISM , existing studies are mainly observatory, without formal evidence of a direct risk for health.

< P > This new fad is part of the current fascination for longevity, embodied by Bryan Johnson, Biohacker Millionaire and ex-investor of < EM > FUTURISM . His obsession with plasma exchanges would have given a boost to Clarify's marketing. A well -prowled strategy, which plays on the fear of the invisible, surfs on scientific vagueness, and offers an expensive response to collective anxiety. Already seen ?
