> The effects of rapamycin are temporary, and repeated dosing loses efficacy, making rapamycin, itself, an unlikely candidate as a broadly-used treatment.

Cycling is possible
Doesn't the "potential for toxicity from repeated doses" make this sort of doubtful?
Possibly, possibly not.

Bryan Johnson took it for 5 years in an attempt to slow aging. He eventually discontinued because it was causing an increase in skin infections (as you'd expect from an immune system suppressant), but cycling could mitigate that.

Regardless of side effects there is no reliable evidence that rapamycin slows aging in humans.
Would we have evidence even if it was true?
What do you mean? Population control?
What the fuck is the point of this commemt? Like what are you even insinuating? Half the drugs in the world have dubious evidence. U bafoon
