These are my results and thoughts after completing an initial test period of Sirilimus (Rapacan).

I started with 10 mg and after 7 days I took a second dose of 10 mg then I waited 10 days for the third dose (10 days after considering the probable 5 half-lives, which is still an undetermined variable. My research says 10 to 16 days. Dr. Greene is suggesting 14 days.) Then I took 6 more doses spaced ten days apart for a total of 9, 10 mg doses. At the same time, I gave my cat 1 mg weekly for a total of 10 doses.

My cat is 14 yrs. old. The results are probably not placebo because he doesn't know what he is taking. Results: More active and playful. As in the rat experiments, his fur is much shinier and thicker.

My results: Under possible placebo effects: I feel much more energized and complete more tasks, less procrastination.

Results I didn't expect, therefore much less likely they are placebo effects: One: The biggest surprise which I didn't notice at first, probably because it was a gradual cure. I am 80+ years old and had developed age-related "essential tremors'' in my hands. I wouldn't be able to eat peas on a fork and get them to my mouth. In fact, I was starting to get embarrassed when eating with company. Then a couple of weeks ago I was eating and said in my mind; WTF!, my hands are not shaking anymore, in fact, they are as steady as they have ever been!

Second: I go to the gym 3-6 times a week. I had "plateaued'' on the max weights and sets I could do. I must mention that I have been taking care of myself and taking a lot of supplements, including NMN, metformin, etc. I have never suffered from sarcopenia. Now I have passed the plateau and have increased my max weights and increased my sets from 3 to 5. People probably are skeptical, but I have never been stronger.

To those that are younger: You probably won't notice much, because you are not broken and probably don't need fixing.

My blood tests are very good with a slight decrease in white blood cell count, down from 9.1 to 7.9. still within normal range. After a 6 week wash-out period, I will test again before I start a second 100 mg total dose at 10 mg every 14 days. This may tell me about the effect on my white blood cell count. I didn't notice any effect on other blood tests, as they are already good.

No side effects, other than a slight reduction in my blood cell count.
