Doesn't the "potential for toxicity from repeated doses" make this sort of doubtful?
Possibly, possibly not.
Bryan Johnson took it for 5 years in an attempt to slow aging. He eventually discontinued because it was causing an increase in skin infections (as you'd expect from an immune system suppressant), but cycling could mitigate that.
Regardless of side effects there is no reliable evidence that rapamycin slows aging in humans.
Would we have evidence even if it was true?
What do you mean? Population control?
Has anyone done an experiment administering rapamycin to humans to see if it slows aging? Would that experiment pass an ethics committee?
We don't even have reliable biomarkers for aging in general so what would the endpoints for such an experiment be?
Lifespan would be an easy one to measure. Experiment could take a while.
Tough to control for all the confounding variables, though.
Someone here wants humans to die early indeed.
We do. Read Ending Aging by aubrey de gray
Nah, he just makes things up. Junk science.
What the fuck is the point of this commemt? Like what are you even insinuating? Half the drugs in the world have dubious evidence. U bafoon
