Biochemistry can to do better.
The FDA (False Demigods Authority) will decide for you what medicine you will take and how.
There are other ways to inhibit mTOR, such as exercise, ketogenic diets, or taking mild AMPK activators such as ALCAR or metformin.
Rapamycin is much more effective at mTOR inhibition, though.
Lots and lots of paradoxes.
Boil it all down, I would say this drug sounds just too risky to take for any prolonged period. If my parents were still alive and in need of a medication to treat Alzheimers, I would not be open to considering this, that is assuming their doctors told me about it.

To again cite Eisenhower: "...a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers. "The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.

What????
Can’t be, Freepers told me Vitamin D is the bestest anti-aging, anti-cancer, anti-ebola, anti-radiation, anti-asteroid strike, anti- everything and if I just take mega doses of Vitamin D I will live longer than Methuselah.
The Internet never lies does it?
Because of accelerated ageing I started taking DHEA. DHEA is the natural human steroid.
Wow did I change. DHEA:
Reduced my gout tremendously
Reversed my baldness (grew hair where there was none)
Improved my sex life
Increased my muscle mass, strength and stamina
Made my skin thicker, and vastly improved bruising
Improved food tolerances
Reduced infections
Improved my cognizance
Improved my sleep
I gained too much weight at 50mg and 25mg per day. 12.5mg per day seems to be my Goldilocks zone along with 25mg of zinc. It takes time. These changes have taken me a year.
