This brief paper by Patrick Cox does the important job of summarizing thousands of pages of significant research introducing the benefits of Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE). It does so by outlining the history of the procedure and the important individual discoveries that have been made over the last century and especially the last 20 years. We believe this demonstrates that TPE is not only beneficial in treating specific human medical conditions but also has significant impact on cognitive dysfunction and the entire aging process.

We think this paper is a well-written introduction for professionals researching the state-of-the-art, including links to the journal articles that many will want to analyze. It  also summarizes key data for the layman who is considering using TPE for their own family members, friends, or personal well-being;  and it serves as a resource they can share with their personal physicians to help educate the physical benefits and the hypothesized mechanisms of action for the benefits shown in the gold standard of studies, randomized double blind studies.
