Drugs that dramatically increase healthy lifespan discovered by Scripps Research, Mayo Clinic March 10, 2015

http://www.kurzweila...rch-mayo-clinic

https://www.ncbi.nlm...pubmed/26711051

Who knew? Seems Dasatinib aka Sprycel exhibits anti-aging properties and may extend lifespan.

Just when I was eager to stop taking Sprycel - maybe taking it is not so bad. I already couple it with Quercetin (taken together just before bedtime).

Unfortunately, I still have suppressed blood cells (rbc < normal), so I am not convinced taking something toxic is "good" for me. However, in low dose, maybe it's just fine to take forever.

Can you imagine Dasatinib, off patent, sold over the counter at your local Walgreens for $29.99 as an anti-aging pill?

Diagnosed 11 May 2011 (100% FiSH, 155% PCR)

with b2a2 BCR-ABL fusion transcript coding for the 210kDa BCR-ABL protein

Sprycel: 20 mg per day - taken at lights out with Quercetin and/or Magnesium Taurate

6-8 grams Curcumin C3 complex.

2015 PCR: < 0.01% (M.D. Anderson scale)

2016 PCR: < 0.01% (M.D. Anderson scale)

March 2017 PCR: 0.01% (M.D. Anderson scale)

June 2017 PCR: "undetected"

September 2017 PCR: "undetected"

This is great, Scuba, now I can live forever . . . miserably!

Dx July 2009 on routine physical. WBC 94. Started Gleevec 400 mg Sept 2009. MMR at 2yrs. Side effects (malaise, depression/anxiety, fatigue, nausea, periorbital edema) never improved. Kidney issues developed because of Gleevec. Switched to Sprycel 70 mg in Aug 2011. Above side effects disappeared or improved. Have been MR3.5 - 4.5 ever since. Two untreated pleural effusions followed by one treated by stopping Sprycel Jan 2017. After 9 weeks, PCR showed loss of MMR; re-started Sprycel at 50 mg and in 3 months was back to <0.01% IS. Pleural effusion returned within a couple of months, same as before (moderate, left side only). Stopped Sprycel 50 mg for 12 weeks; pleural effusion resolved. At about a monthoff the drug, PCR was 0.03; at 11 weeks it was 2.06 - lost CCyR? Have returned to 50 mg Sprycel for 3 weeks, intending to reduce to 20 mg going forward.
