Review by Andy Valencia
Many of us have lived with loved ones who suffered from Alzheimers or other types of senile dementia. More recently, we’ve also seen complaints of “mental fog” coincident with the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 novel coronavirus. One medical researcher, Dr. Michael Nehls, believes he’s found a common mechanism for all of these afflictions.
Dr. Nehls is a physician and molecular geneticist. He has authored a range of academic papers touching on brain-related issues, and this book covers a career’s worth of research devoted to chasing the root cause of such mental dysfunction. It provides a great deal of insight into Dr. Nehls’ pursuit of the cause and cure of a number of mental ailments, and explains how his research was increasingly drawn to a critical part of the brain, the hippocampus.
About three inches in length, the hippocampus is the point of connection between the right and left sides of the brain. It is well-understood that the hippocampus is the place where short-term memories are registered and become long-term memories. Dr. Nehls’ research shows that the hippocampus works with the nearby dentate gyrus to create the new neurons responsible for transcribing some or all memories to long-term memory. This enables long-term memories to not just be saved, but saved in a way that makes them available as memories. As the supply of these neurons is reduced, a memory can be saved, but is connected to fewer related memories. Your walk in a local park where you see gardeners planting new flowers might end up being recalled by the question “What did I do today?” but not during a general conversation on gardening. Memories are important, but so is your ability to reach them.
Dr. Nehls ended up with the hypothesis that hippocampal health, along with the availability of new neurons, is central to many forms of dementia. His research eventually led him to conclude that the main feature of such dementia was inflammation in the brain structures. When COVID showed up, he was uniquely positioned to notice that the spike protein’s unusual structure let it pass the blood-brain barrier and reach the hippocampus. Inflammation followed, and with it some mental ailments you’ve either experienced or seen in others. “Brain fog,” trouble remembering and recalling, and even depression.
Dr. Nehls is not a virologist, and has nothing to say on how one catches or avoids COVID. But if your mental machinery is degraded – because of COVID or anything else, what can be done? This is the second part of his research.
Most of Dr. Nehls’ therapeutic recommendations involve changing environmental factors to reduce brain structure inflammation and resume regular function. With accompanying scientific references, he surveys diet, medical side effects, pollutants, and the organic impacts of sustained stress and fear. Change what you eat, breathe, and touch. Look at when you get angry or scared, and reduce your exposure to their triggers – your mental state has an enormous impact on brain health. Anger and fright have a real, medical impact on the health of your brain structures.
To help the transition to improved brain health, Dr. Nehls also researched anti-inflammatory medicines. In interviews subsequent to his book’s release, he has noted that his best results were with low-dose lithium, a drug which in higher doses is often used to address bipolar disorder. In the doses he uses, there is no “lithium zombie” effect, but the drug is quite effective at damping inflammation, including within the brain.
In addition to the cause and treatment of hippocampal-based ailments, Dr. Nehls spends a considerable portion of the book exploring how targeted brain impacts can be used as a method of societal control. He develops the hypothesis that SARS-CoV-2 was engineered to target the hippocampus. The subsequent liquid nanoparticle-encased mRNA with its spike generation programming was another efficient delivery mechanism.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proofs, and Dr. Nehls’ book falls far short of the mark. Was SARS-CoV-2 created to be a weapon? Were the vaccines part of this campaign? The book shares his strong opinions on the matter, but will not sway a skeptic. This does not make the material entirely irrelevant; technology that can be used for evil will eventually be used for evil. He provides a detailed medical description of this danger.
Dr. Nehls did bring one bit of unexpected good news to this no-longer-young writer. His research indicates that the reduced functions of the the hippocampus and dentate gyrus are not inevitable results of aging. Rather, they are the result of an accumulation of inflammatory factors in your environment. Age does not inherently steal your ability to think and remember. So stay on top of your mental health, keep that inflammation at bay, and you will be thinking clearly well into your senior years.
