Simon Cowell's 'Age Backwards' Secret Revealed

Simon Cowell, 66, has revealed his pursuit of youth involves a controversial blood filtering treatment. This procedure, gaining popularity among celebrities, entails taking a patient's blood, filtering out toxins like microplastics, and then reinfusing it. Cowell states this, alongside improved diet, supplements, exercise, and stress reduction, has led him to 'age backwards.' He even considered cryogenic freezing but opted against it.

The trend, known as plasmapharesis or therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE), can cost up to $10,000 per session. Celebrities such as Orlando Bloom, Troy Aikman, and Paul Wesley have shared their experiences with similar treatments. These procedures aim to remove harmful substances from blood plasma, but scientific evidence supporting their anti-aging benefits is limited. Some research even suggests the machines might shed microplastics into the blood.

Despite the scientific uncertainty and significant cost, with recommended annual treatments reaching approximately $20,000, proponents claim the procedure leaves them feeling invigorated. Doctors note potential benefits for longevity and cell health, though the long-term effects and true efficacy remain subjects of ongoing discussion and limited study.
