Hi! I Want To Find A Doctor Who Can Work
Question: Hi! I want to find a doctor who can work with me, as I take an anti-aging cocktail of allantoin, rapamycin, and rifampicin. I am 73, and the average male life span in this country is 73, so I don't want to wait around for decades of further studies. This cocktail has doubled the life-spans of insects, and samples of animal cells and human cells show rejuvenation. So, I want to try this. I already obtained the allantoin, and am waiting for the other two ingredients which I ordered, but which have not yet arrived.
Is there any doctor that wants to work on something this big?

Brief Answer:
The researchers in the field might be willing to help you.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for using the Ask a Doctor service.
I have gone through your query and understand your concern. Allantoin, rapamycin, and rifampicin have indeed shown promising results in certain organisms but human studies are still lacking. Human studies occur in number of phases and they are important because the dose and other parameters need to be determined. Needless to say, it takes time. I do not think that without those studies medical doctors would be willing to take it up with you. Nevertheless, you can feel free to look up studies like https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC0000/ on Pubmed https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/advanced and contact the corresponding authors (the contact details of the authors is listed on each of the research papers). They would possibly be researchers but nevertheless might be willing to go ahead with volunteers like you.
You have my best wishes.
Regards

The governments of the United States and Europe are very restrictive. Do you think I could get more prompt cooperation from doctors in Mexico, XXXXXXX or other Third World countries? Are you in the United States, and thus "restricted"?
Thanks!

I forgot to mention, Rapamycin can be replaced by a combination of Ashwagandha and Ginseng. See: https://www.nutraingredients-usa.com/Article/2017/12/01/Ashwagandha-ginseng-found-to-mimic-off-label-anti-aging-effects-of-two-drugs#
I wonder if there is a replacement for Rifampicin too?
Thanks!

Brief Answer:
Check the papers on pubmed
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back. Sorry for the inadvertent delay in responding. I would not insist you to get apprehensive about the restrictions in the US. Rather, what would concern you are the restrictions that the ongoing researchers suffer from at their place of work. To be able to evaluate the feasibilities you would need to identify the research papers, contact the corresponding authors, and wait for them to respond. Those researchers would be in the best position to tell you whether a replacement would be useful.
