I’ve been on Rapamune for 15 months and just don’t feel I can justify extending the experiment any further. The three markers I care most about A1C, APoB and CRP are all trending in the wrong direction and my creatinine levels were also flagged for concern.
I have ~200x1mg Pfizer Rapamune tablets if anyone in the UK is interested in buying. My plan now is to switch to Acarbose for 12 months and see what impact that has.
An alternative to consider is to take a 6 - 8 months break and then restart with a smaller dose/longer breaks. A friend of mine (MD) believes that time will come when ppl will take Rapa for only 1 month per year as a prophylactic treatment. I tend to think that he could be right. Time will show.
Sure. I’m looking for £3/mg which would be significantly less than what I paid.
I have 80x1mg with a use by of 9/23 and 100x1mg with a use by of 8/24. Based on my research Rapamune doesn’t degrade but, in any case, it has been stored in the fridge.
I’m a long time lurker on the forum, first time posting (!).
I’d be very interested in purchasing your Rapa. I’m based in the NE, can potentially travel to collect.
Let me know if you’re still interested in selling - could split 50/50 with the other interested buyer if they’re still keen.
PS I think Rapamycin has possibly caused a slight rise in my lipids also (bloods done once a quarter), but I’m aiming to manage through a few dietary tweaks…
I’d definitely be happy to split the purchase with anyone else that’s interested. I am currently in Brazil but I will be boarding a ship later today and won’t have access to the internet again until 12th April so please don’t assume I’ve gone cold if you don’t hear back from me in the meantime.
Sorry for the long delay in getting back to you but I am finally back in the UK and getting my act together.
Are you still up for selling your Rapamycin? I note that you didn’t get a response to your escrow comment. Personally I’m happy enough to trust you to send the goods once I’ve paid you. Also happy to use PayPal if that’s your preferred method. The question is are we happy to send through the postal system? I think it must be sent with tracking and insurance though given the high value nature of the package.
Anyway, apologies once again for the delay and I understand if you’ve had a change of heart or sold to someone else. Also still happy to split with others.
He also tweeted that calorie restriction/fasting/IF cause glucose intolerance/elevated lipids and these things are considered healthy and good for aging so I guess hes saying just because rapamycin causes elevated lipids it doesnt mean its a bad thing as fasting also does the same thing and fasting is good for you so we shouldnt worry about side effects from rapamycin but idk a little confusing lol
He does make 1 good point - it is true, If you water fast for like a week and test your lipids they will be more higher after the fast. Same if you calorie restrict long term.
