Cell Death Mechanisms Behind D+Q and Fisetin Senolytics
After having done about 9 months of self-experimentation with the effects of D+Q and Fisetin senolytic burst-treatments, I and others in my family have noticed that senolytics with D+Q tends to induce transient flu-like symptoms and a half-day or so feeling of un-wellness, while Fisetin, even taken in 2,000 gram/day doses, does not.
The research on mice indicates that the two senolytic treatments have roughly the same level of senolytic effectiveness. Therefore, I speculate that in the D+Q treatment the immune system is going autophagous, destroying the senescent cells while leaving behind considerable symptom-producing molecular debris, while the Fisetin treatment is triggering aptosis, the natural dismantling of cells that is relatively clean, with little leftover molecular debris.
Comments on this speculation?

I've just started the fisetin mayo protocol and after day 1, I'm feeling like shit. I took 20mg/kg (1800mg) with MCT oil, spreading the dose out into 3 administration's throughout the day. I woke up this morning feeling terrible. Headache, sore muscles etc. I'm only 41 but suffer from multiple auto-immune conditions so feel that the protocol would benefit me. I'll update after a few weeks as there aren't many folks in my age group sharing their stories of self-experimentation.
