Medical Research: My parents were diagnosed with a neurological aging condition, "Mild Cognitive Impairment", which could lead to Alzheimer's. Gerontological research, from the SENS organisation, suggested a promising therapy to cure this condition. The Alzheimers Society, based in the United Kingdom, also closely followed the clinical trials which utilised "blood plasma dilution". The Plasmapheresis technique removes harmful toxins in aged blood plasma strengthening the body's resistance to illness. I am studying for a career in health care as a nurse of "Apheresis Transfusion Practice", with a focus on the occupational use of the Spectra Optia Machine for Therapeutic Plasma Exchange.
Hobbies: I have a variety of friends in several age groups, across countries, and enjoy an active social life. In my spare time I have done been semi professionally DSLR filming, researching, editing, and still photography across multiple countries. Additionally i have done catelogue modelling, won a catwalk (runway) modelling for hairdressers "Tony & Guy" and extras work on television programmes such as "The Bill" and "Eastenders". Favourite films Matrix 1 & 4. I have a vast knowledge and experience of culture, food, media, economics, mechanical repair, electronic circuits and hardware, religion with historical anthropology and attended numerous city anti war protests, once personally meeting my political inspiration, "Tony Benn". During breaks I regularly go modified bike riding / motorhoming abroad on Buddhist retreats, both individually or with friends, practicing principles and meeting like minded people. I occasionally practice group yoga, meditation classes with Dharma's, where ever my current residence is. My family background is international and I have lived domestically teleworking, and driven in the following countries:
