Fight Aging! Newsletter, September 19th 2022
Conclusion Use of the Khavinson peptides and melatonin in combination in this way, at this dose, negatively impacts the thymus, producing a reduction in active tissue and increase in atrophy to fatty tissue. The degree to which this atrophy occurred is greater than one would expect to take place over nine months of aging at this stage of life. Why did this outcome occur, given the animal studies showing thymic regrowth, and the studies showing reduced later life mortality following use of thymogen? We can only speculate. Firstly, the dose makes the poison, and the dosing here may have been too high, too frequ...

Unhealthy Lifestyle and Childhood Adversity Correlated with Phenotypic Age Acceleration
The epidemiological study noted here makes use of phenotypic age, a simple biomarker-based aging clock. The calculation used to derive a phenotypic age based on common biomarkers can be in the methods section of the paper, for those interested. It is a mortality-related calculation, and a higher phenotypic age is presumed to indicate a greater risk of age-related disease and death. Where phenotypic age is greater than chronological age, this may represent a faster pace of aging in that individual, as is the case for epigenetic clocks and epigenetic age acceleration. The conclusion reached in the study here is that u...

California ’s Misguided Effort to Stifle COVID Scientific Discourse
Jeffrey A. SingerOn September 12, the California legislature sent to Governor Newsom ’s deskAB-2098, that “would designate the dissemination [by physicians and surgeons] of misinformation or disinformation related to the SARS‐​CoV‑2 coronavirus, or ‘COVID-19,’ as unprofessional conduct,” which means they may be sanctioned or lose their license. The bill defines “misinformation” as “f alse information that is contradicted by contemporary scientific consensus contrary to the standard of care.”At first blush, this might seem reasonable. After all, it ’s considered medical malpractice to violate the ...

Fentanyl Is Smuggled for U.S. Citizens By U.S. Citizens, Not Asylum Seekers
ConclusionBorder enforcement will not stop fentanyl smuggling. Border Patrol ' s experience with marijuana smuggling may provide even clearer evidence for this fact. Marijuana is the bulkiest and easiest-to-detect drug, which is why it was largely trafficked between ports of entry. Despite doubling the Border Patrol and building a border fence in the 2000s in part to combat the trade, the only thing that actually reduced marijuana smugglingwas U.S. states legalizing marijuana. It is absurd to believe that interdiction will be more effective against a drug that is orders of magnitude more difficult to detect.The DEA plainly...
