Did anyone attend the webinar today with Dr. Green and Dr. B? Did I hear correctly that Dr. Green takes 12 mg of rapamycin for consecutive days then repeat every 12 days? Just making sure I heard this correctly?

Exactly. He said he is 79 years and this is his personal regiment. Indicating⊠greater age⊠greater rapa dosage.
For his average patients 10mg to 12 mg⊠no grape fruit once per 10 days.
Alan and Misha arenât the greatest presenters tbh. Thank goodness Mattâs there to step in and concisely summarise 5 minutes of meandering in 20s.

They just had the meeting today, they usually send out the video recording the following week.
I didnât make the Q&A but submitted a question. Did he address my question about rapamycin absorption/need for enteric coating?
It was a great program, but pretty loose and chatty â mostly opinions (but opinions of those with the best guess) - which is how we are running on use right now.
Somewhat in the area was that loose powder rapamycin has less bio-absorptive. More was discussed on dosage then the actual product. Has to do with age - I think the consensus was 10mg - 12 mg with no GFJ. Although Blagosklonny was more against GFJ that might interact with someoneâs other meds - not the rapa. Assuming you have an older population on rapa taking a variety of other meds.
Dr. Green said that if it didnât look like the Pfizer pill he would not trust it.

How many people using rapamycin for longevity are using Pfizerâs âRAPAMUNEâ?

What I found interesting was that he takes 12mg two days in a rowâbut then opposed GFJ on the basis of it extending the curve, which would be similar to taking it two days in a row.

How scientific is this commentâŠNOT! Surprising big pharma bias/ignorance from Dr Green? There are many world class Indian pharma companies making perfectly good generic meds, including Rapamycin.
Furthermore, there are plenty of people taking various vendor generic brands, with confirmed Rapamycin signal. Maybe he figures NOBODY is going through the effort of doing blood Sirolimus testing.
Is he coming from the âpurity/contaminationâ view point? Sorry, I missed this talk, was there ANY context?
Which begs the questionâŠis he doing ANY blood Sirolimus testing or is he just âwinging itâ?? Heâs flopping all over the place with his dosing. Dosenât seem like he has a therapeutic/longevity ârecipeâ?
I think Dr B was quoted regarding his big 20mg-biweekly dose rationale was to get Rapamycin to cross the BBB, but we have seen work on rapamycin-glioblastoma, where quite low Rapamycin dosing levels crossed the BBB. What is his data behind his comment?

YOU WROTE: I think Dr B was quoted regarding his big 20mg-biweekly dose rationale was to get Rapamycin to cross the BBBâŠ
Dr. B - I think is now on 2mg a day now because of a personal health issue concern that he chose not to disclose (private so yeah), however, he still seemed to advocate a much higher dosage once or twice a week provided you donât have side effects. Again, dosage was all over the place based on health, age, side effects⊠I understand.
I am curious⊠What us the price per mg in canada? Generic or rapamune?
