Plasma contains many growth factors, most of which are unknown.
Something similar exists: PRP injections, which may be quackery, but seem to attract a lot of interest especially in sport medicine.
However, PRP is autologous. The only real risk are bacterial infection because of breaching the skin.
With Ambrosia, we are talking about repeated transfusions. Would you share needles with a stranger, even after reading their serologic status is clean, and some kind of a vetting process?
Personally, I wouldn't, but I am certainly very grateful to all the volunteers engaging in this trial: if there is something of interest, I will learn from their experience. If not, they will have taken the risk for me.
In both cases, I benefit.
