#123genuine question: why would someone want to live longer than the average? Edit: I ask because I personally don't see a reason to stay alive while people I love are dying, I don't see a reason to stay alive in an already fucked up planet, while we empty all the resources, etc. But you guys are so smart, intelligent and clever, why even bother.
More time to do the things you enjoy.
More time to be a productive member of society, you mean.

#124What's the latest on bloodboys? That is : periodic blood transfusion from healthy young vegan donor. It works very well. Rejuvenates ancient billionaires. Surely it's superpopular among the oligarchs. Probably not the kind of thing you want in the news (vampires!). The technical term is Parabiosis .

My understanding is that simple plasma dilution (plasmapheresis) has the same or better results. Though some of the sources I saw said that a centrifugal plasmapheresis machine is better than the membrane-based machines.

#125The bigger story with rapamycin is that the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) plays an absolutely crucial role in major diseases of modern civilization. One of the ways to inhibit mTOR for free is to simply stop consuming nutrients for extended periods of time.
> ... to simply stop consuming nutrients for extended periods of time That is not simple for most people.
It’s simple, but not easy. Intermittent fasting is an easier way to start compared to traditional fasting. Imo it’s still better than other diets due to its simplicity.

Every day we stray further from god's light
[1] - "The figures are staggering: out of 35,000 children in care, more than 2,000 were physically or sexually abused by priests between 1936 and 1999" (Ireland alone) [2] - French Church abuse: 216,000 children were victims of clergy - inquiry 1. https://www.justiceinfo.net/en/45133-sexual-abuse-church-map... 2. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-58801183
I saw no indication he was promoting the Church, rather than belief in G-d. (Not that it was a relevant reply anyway.)

#127I'm 35, have been taking 6mg of rapamycin per week for about a year. It's hard to assign the effects directly to it since I've been taking other supplements and also fixing up my diet + exercise. That being said, I am quite sure that it has reduced general aches and pains, reduced visceral fat and I now have less gray hair compared to when I started. It did slightly increase my glucose and lipids, but still within safe ranges AFAICT. I'll continue to take it until I notice real adverse effects.

What's NMN?
Nicotinamide Mononucleotide, an unregulated supplement. Note also: > We found that, when data from all organisms studied were combined for each compound, aspirin resulted in the highest percent increase in average lifespan (52.01%), followed by minocycline (27.30%), N-acetyl cysteine (17.93%), nordihydroguaiaretic acid (17.65%) and rapamycin (15.66%), in average.

Thanks!

#129How does one find a doctor willing to prescribe these kinds of drugs for anti aging?
Pool your money with others and order in bulk from Asian or Sourh American suppliers. No questions asked. There are specific subreddits/forums for this kind of stuff.
Could you point me to some of those subreddits/forums? A quick search didn't yield anything but I'm probably not familiar with the specific terminology they would use.

Just like you wouldn't grasp the incredibility of an acid trip unless you did one yourself. Changes in one's perception of local stimuli and focus abilities are almost impossible to convey to others.
If you want to sell me on the health effects you should be able to list them. If it made you feel better but not in an objectively measurable way that's great, but that's not a health effect.
My main point was that fasting could supplement or partially replace rapamycin the drug
