Are you feeling or noticing any benefits?

Have not noticed any change.

Have been considering to increase the dose.

my friend, 64 female, also took weekly 2mg with GF juice. On the fourth week, she got skin itching all over the body and also got some blisters on the skin. Had to stop taking rapamycin for now.

Did she start immediately with both the 2mg and the GF juice?

Just saying, thats a fast start to a relatively high dose (effective dose between 6 and 8mg).

When I started I started with 1mg per week, then slowly increased each week by 1mg until I got to 6mg at week 6. Then stayed there for a two months, before slowly trying higher doses.

I suspect, but can’t prove, that people have fewer side effects if they start slow.

It was my idea that she started immediately with both the 2mg and the GF juice. I started 4mg/week no GF three month ago and was doing fine. Now i am taking 3mg/week with GF, on one or two days for a week, i got minor skin itching too. i also take canag (100 mg halved) and acarbose 25mg daily, lost 9 pounds in one month.

You say you got a script, is this your doctor supporting your intervention?

Tracking any markers?

What’s all the jazz about sardines (despite being healthy and fatty)? Is there anything else that enhances rapamycin blood levels in it?

LOL - I can’t do those sardines - nasty taste. That said the GFJ and fat gives you more bioavailability of the Rapa/Sirolimus, so you get more bang out of your Rapa dose.

Found this instead: A 4-ounce cut of beef steak offers about . 5 grams of polyunsaturated fats and 4.5 grams of monounsaturated fats. I grill a 14 - 16 oz. steak and eat 2 hours before my dose, so I am getting about 20 grams of polyunsaturated fats and 18 grams of monounsaturated fats (about twice the daily recommendation) with my Rapa. All polyunsaturated fats and monounsaturated are good fats.

For me 14 oz. steak and GFJ before and with gave me a double dose - my 10 mg was about 9mg in my body at the half life - 2-days out.

I am no fan of whole GF either - my solution. I found using a cheap one glass size
juice mixer on the flesh and and pulp of a whole Ruby Red Grapefruit with a 1/4 cup of Ginger Ale makes a not so bitter (light sweet) frothy easy-to-drink form of the stuff. :slight_smile:

I like this thread as it is entirely free of hype. If you do report a benefit further down the line you will have a lot of credibility.

Presumably your body weight has also remained unchanged?

Agreed.

Most report the first pound (s) that are shed due to rapa starts at 15 or 16 months. And goes for weeks before you plateau.

Let’s see. :wink:

First 3mg dose last night. Wanted to make sure I could tolerate it. No problem. Will take 2 mg today then 5mg per week from then on. Will monitor my OA in my hip and fingers closely for any improvement.
