This article, “The Dirty Secret of Embalming” by Miles Mathis, published on June 13, 2025, speculates that the primary purpose of embalming is not preservation, but the collection of blood from deceased individuals. Mathis suggests that the removed blood is not, as commonly stated, discarded, but rather re-circulated and reused. He draws a parallel to his previous 2021 paper on “vampires” and the idea of rich people taking blood for anti-aging transfusions, arguing that the blood obtained through embalming provides a larger and more consistent source. Mathis posits that the notion of blood spoilage is overstated and that prompt chilling allows for its storage. He questions the necessity of blood drives among the young and healthy in the US, given the continuous supply of blood from mortuaries, estimating around 9,000 deaths daily. The author believes that the rich and powerful, whom he refers to as “ghouls” and potentially “Satanists,” are the beneficiaries of this practice, using it for their own gain, even if it doesn’t appear to grant them actual extended youth, citing examples like Prince Philip and David Rockefeller who, despite living dirty lives, didn’t appear to achieve miraculous youth. Mathis concludes that this practice, while potentially explaining their longevity, results in “extended decrepitude” rather than youth.
