Dr. Alan Green, a great pioneer in Rapamycin usage, passed away yesterday in Little Neck, NY

Yes I assume the estate would have to OK any transfer of the web assets. @RapAdmin I can offer hosting in perpetuity through agency hosting tools I have such that even if I were hit by a bus, service wouldn’t be interrupted due to any bills unpaid with the host. (Wouldn’t that be an ironic end to my life extension efforts by the way?) Perhaps the webmaster can intro me to someone at his estate. I think it likely that his family would like to have his public facing work be preserved, especially if it won’t cost them any trouble or money.

RIP to Dr. Green. May I ask if anyone knows if he was still on RApa or he had stopped taking it?

If you are on Rapamycin what is your dosage protocol?

So sorry to hear. I just became his patient, only 2 months ago. I had no idea he wasn’t well.
I thoroughly enjoyed meeting him. I had been taking Rapamycin since he prescribed it, and wonder if I, and others will no longer have access to it. I was looking forward to future contact with this great pioneer.

Hello Dr. Fraser,
I was Dr. Green’s patient. I never met him in person, only telehealth. I Live in NY. Any chance you can be licensed here to prescribe? I can help pick up fees.

I’ve contacted you by message. The short answer is that Telemedicine occurs at the location the patient is physically at, at the time of the consultation. It’s not at the patient’s site of residence.

So if someone tells me they are physically in California at the time of the consultation, and I have no reason to doubt the truth of this, and happens to reside in NY, it isn’t a problem for me to treat them, so long as I note the patient is physically in California today at time of the consult.

I have no mechanism in my software to geolocate.

You will always have access to rapamycin through Indian pharmacies/sellers (Where most of us get it from). Added benefit, it is way cheaper than you were getting it through Doctor Green.

Thank you kindly for that info. So good to hear. Is the quality of the product ok? I still have a few month supply in the queue form Dr. Green but will run out eventually. It has completely controlled my Rosacea, which I never expected.

From all accounts it is very high quality. Many people on these boards have done before and after analysis that clearly indicate the same efficacy as any/best branded ones being sold in western world. Also, of note many big pharma companies manufacture some of their medicines in India, so for the most part quality of Indian medicine is not a concern, but you have to stick to some well-known names that everyone on these boards buys from. I have to assume that there “might” be fake products being sold/solicited from not very reliable other sources/scams, but as noted above you have to stick with the names, we all know and deal with.

So sorry to hear about Dr Greens passing, he was a wonderful man, I made the trip to little neck all the way from Australia several years ago and met him in person and spent some tie, with him in his office.

RIP Dr Green

He did use the senolytics you refer to and indeed others - I had a number of exchanges on rate and timings on the issue across a number of years - there is so much on his site but I would imagine it’s written up in the content somewhere.

We started with three monthly treatment cycle and this reduced at one point to biweekly - even weekly at one point - again it will be in the content somewhere unless it’s been edited out more recently.

Lovely man.

Oh no! My husband and I are both patients of his for rapamycin subscriptions. We’ve been trying to reach him for two weeks and now I see why he hasn’t responded. He seemed an exceptionally bright, open-minded, thorough, and kind man and will be missed.

Now what do we do about our prescriptions? I wish we could still use the pharmacy he worked with as I had a level of confidence that he oversaw the formulation. Having lived in India, I’m a bit nervous about ordering from there. On the other hand, so many of the prescriptions we use in the U.S. are manufactured there.

I will begin to look into Indian sources. I have done this with other drugs before.

$550 is far too much money to pay for 100 tablets
