Live younger ever

Nicknamed by researchers ” The Forever Young Drug;” Rapamycin has been created from a chemical found in the soil on Easter Island.
Easter island is considered one of the remotest places on earth situated some 2000 miles off the coast of Chile.
It was used on children suffrering from HUTCHINSON-GILFORD SYNDROME (HGPS). A very rare condition in which the ageing process is hyper-accelerated and on average resulting in fatality by the age of twelve years.
HGPS causes a dangerous process whereby a protein called Progerin builds up in every cell of the body, causing them to age prematurely.
