Rapamycin is being tested as a longevity drug.. It is not "approved" as an IPT drug, but it is available by prescription. I have heard of people ordering it from off shore sources. It is a generic drug

Note that (in the USA) is is officially for organ transplants and maybe some cancers. It works by down regulating mTOR, and the effect seems to be immune regulating. The theory here is that autoimmune diseases like IPT are from an overactive immune system.

be well on your healing journey.
