## Recovered materials
- Public Instagram HTML + metadata.
- Browser-exposed Instagram MP4, preview image and contact sheet.
- iHeart/Spotify/Spreaker metadata for the podcast.
- Full Spotify/iHeart transcript SRT and cleaned transcript.
- PubMed searches and selected abstracts on leptin, melanin, adrenochrome, young plasma/parabiosis, and transfusion.

## Evidence labels
- Proven: leptin is a real hormone; melanin is real photoprotective/redox biology; adrenochrome is a real chemical oxidation product; Epstein’s abuse/trafficking case is real; young-plasma/parabiosis research exists.
- Possible / studied: young plasma components may affect some aging/inflammatory pathways; human benefit remains controversial and not established as a general anti-aging treatment.
- Not proven: elites harvesting children for adrenochrome/melanin/leptin regeneration; Rockefeller/Rothschild/transhumanist coordination as the proven explanation.

## Important source caveats
- FDA young-plasma warning URL checked from older references returned 404 in this pass; article relies on PubMed/clinical literature and archived/regulatory knowledge only where directly available.
- Podcast transcript contains claims that require independent records; PBC treats them as claims, not verified facts.
