You don't need a doctor to figure out a treatment plan, you just need to put in some time to get familiar with reading research papers, the terminology, how researchers describe things, and the methodology used to move from animal to human exploratory studies. And an understanding of the risk - as doctors are usually pretty bad at explaining that in any case. It really isn't rocket science, and it is all copiously documented in scientific and other literature.
Also D+Q isn't administered monthly, it is a one-off treatment that, assuming it works in humans in the same way it does in mice, certainly wouldn't need to be done more than once every few years. It removes the cells it can remove, and then isn't going to do any more until new senescent cells arise at their slow pace. The people out there taking it frequently as though it were a supplement are just not acting sensibly, and don't understand the research.
