Doesn't the "potential for toxicity from repeated doses" make this sort of doubtful?

- RobotToaster 2mo agoPossibly, 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.
- nradov 2mo agoRegardless of side effects there is no reliable evidence that rapamycin slows aging in humans.
- inigyou 2mo agoWould we have evidence even if it was true?
- onesandofgrain 2mo agoWhat do you mean? Population control?
- inigyou 2mo agoHas anyone done an experiment administering rapamycin to humans to see if it slows aging? Would that experiment pass an ethics committee?
- nradov 2mo agoWe don't even have reliable biomarkers for aging in general so what would the endpoints for such an experiment be?
- inigyou 2mo agoLifespan would be an easy one to measure. Experiment could take a while.
- nradov 2mo agoTough to control for all the confounding variables, though.
- onesandofgrain 2mo agoSomeone here wants humans to die early indeed.
- onesandofgrain 2mo agoWe do. Read Ending Aging by aubrey de gray
- nradov 2mo agoNah, he just makes things up. Junk science.
- onesandofgrain 2mo agoWhat 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
