Fox Business announced Friday that it has “parted ways” with Trish Regan, a prime time host who gained notoriety for suggesting on her March 9 show that the COVID-19 coronavirus was a politically motivated “scam.” The decision “took some journalists and anchors at the network by surprise,” The New York Times reports, because “Fox executives are accustomed to withstanding public pressure, and rarely make personnel moves that can be construed as validating criticisms of the network.”Fox Business wished Regan the best and said the network “will continue our reduced live primetime schedule for the foreseeable future” to focus on “the coronavirus crisis.” On MNSBC Sunday morning, Vanity Fair’s Gabriel Sherman said ousting Regan appears to be part of a larger effort to limit legal liability tied to the disconnect between Fox’s public and private responses to the pandemic.In early March, “Fox News tried to do their original playbook, which was dismiss it as a hoax, say that this is another partisan attempt by Democrats to hurt Donald Trump, and this was the case where they could not prevent reality,” Sherman said. “Fox News is a very powerful media organization, but it cannot stop people from dropping dead.” He added:> When I’ve been talking to Fox insiders over the last few days, there’s a real concern inside the network that their early downplaying of the coronavirus actually exposes Fox News to potential legal action by viewers who maybe were misled and actually have died from this. I’ve heard Trish Regan’s being taken off the air is, you know, reflective of this concern that Fox News is in big trouble by downplaying this virus. … I think this is a case where Fox’s coverage, if it actually winds up being proved that people died because of it, this is a new terrain in terms of Fox being possibly held liable for their actions. [Gabriel Sherman, MSNBC]Whether Fox’s coverage of the coronavirus hurts Fox, it has helped Trump, according to a Pew Research Center poll conducted March 19-24.> % of U.S. adults who say Donald Trump is doing an excellent job at responding to the coronavirus outbreak, by main source of political news> > Fox News: 63% > CBS: 24% > NBC: 15% > ABC: 14% > CNN: 7% > MSNBC: 2% > NPR: 2% > New York Times: 1%> > More in our data tool: https://t.co/loFFqxqJb8 pic.twitter.com/giN3lsxoxQ> > Pew Research Center (@pewresearch) March 27, 2020Pew surveyed 11,537 panelists and the margin of sampling error for that full sample is ?1.5 percentage points.More stories from theweek.com Relax about Biden What comes after social distancing?

On this episode of Anti-Aging Hacks, Faraz Khan interviews Dr. Greg Fahy, who is the first scientist to reverse aging in humans. Here is what we discuss in this interview: 1. Why the Thymus is really important for Immune Function 2. How creating a combination of common compounds like Growth Hormone, Metformin and DHEA reversed biological aging by several years 3. What’s the next version of the trial and when can people expect this cocktail at their favorite neighborhood drugstore ———————- To grow thicker, healthier and longer hair – make sure to check out https://fullyvital.com Get the top 4 simple ways to slow down your aging at https://antiaginghacks.net/ageslowly Add me on instagram at @antiaginghacks Check out the resources and gear that Faraz recommends at https://farazmkhan.com/faraz-khan-recommends ———————– Dr. Fahy background: – He studies how doctors can bring new technologies to market – Designs protocols and make sure the doctors can provide them – Believes aging is orchestrated and biochemically driven series of events – Thymus gland is critical because it recruits cells from the bone marrow and trains them to fight the intruders – This protects us from cancers, viruses, bacteria, etc. – After 12 years of age, thymus starts to wither and go away which leads to immune system – He found a study from 1986 that was done decades done on animals which regrew the thymus through the use of growth hormone The Three Compounds that Form the Anti-Aging Elixir – Growth hormone is not approved for use to reverse aging. Growth hormone has side effects, and kidneys retain water, causes your joints to grow – Growth hormone raises insulin and has pro-aging effects – However, the pro-insulin effects can be managed by other compounds such as metformin and DHEA – DHEA also goes down with age along with Growth Hormone, so if you raise Growth Hormone it also makes sense to raise DHEA – Dr. Fahy regrew his thymus in 1996 at age 46 by following this cocktail of the three drugs, but he had to wait a long time to find collaborators to create this study and get it approved by the FDA – Eventually met his partner, and created the plan for the clinical trial How Does the Immune System Work – It’s like a deck of cards that can attack a predetermined number of pathogens – You can rearrange bits of your DNA to attack lots of pathogens and invaders – The immune system creates new cells to fight the invaders – When the immune system starts slowing down and not creating new immune cells, then a new virus can cause havoc in your body What were the Results of the Trial – Objective to regrow the thymus. As thymus deteriorates and you run out of T-cells, you lose ability to recognize antigens by 98% – Wanted to develop evidence that they could improve the immune system – Results were that T-cells were growing again. Also realized that antigens that prevent the body to fight cancer went down – Signed up 10 caucasian men originally, one dropped out – Got Stanford university to participate – After 15 days, the men had 30% reduction in Prostrate Cancer Risk – Insulin also went up due to growth hormone, but they were able to largely suppress it – Inflammaging: Dr. Fahy was worried about higher inflammation because regenerating the thymus could make it more active. Dr. Fahy thought it actually might be because thymus lost its identity – The result was that an improved thymus improved the inflammation – They also noticed improvement in lymphocyte to monocyte ratio, higher is better – They were able to reverse aging in general. Dr. Fahy used Dr. Steve Horvath’s epigenetic clock. – Based on epigenetic clock, the study reversed aging by 2.5 years – Then Dr. Horvath used two other epigenetic clocks to double check, and sure enough all of them showed a reversal in biological aging – The rate of aging accelerated after 9 months to 12 months The Next Trial TRIIMX – Now want to look at older people, younger people, and women – Also looking to enroll folks not in perfect health – Will be giving Growth Hormone through the skin without needles Where Does This Protocol Fit in Anti-Aging Protocol – Immune system aging is critical even with the other anti-aging interventions – Regrow your thymus at 45, then again at 50, then at 65 – Everytime you regrow thymus, the T-cells may last a long time How to Contact – Dr. Greg Fahy can be found at gfahy@interveneimmune.com

“To quickly summarize, these studies have found that psilocybin may be effective at treating: – Clinical anxiety and depression caused by life-threatening cancer diagnoses – Obsessive-compulsive disorder – Addiction to alcohol or nicotine
Additionally, Griffiths et al. reported that a majority of individuals who took psilocybin experienced an improvement in mood and attitude. Many also felt that the experience was one of the most meaningful events in their lives. This was not just a passing phenomenon. After more than one year, 58 percent still ranked the psilocybin session as one of the top five most meaningful experiences in their lives; 64 percent said it increased their sense of well-being or life satisfaction to either a moderate or an above-moderate degree; and 61 percent believed the experience was associated with a positive behavioral change.” https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/balanced/202003/understanding-the-buzz-about-magic-mushrooms
